THE SIXTH MONTH WITH HER WHO WAS CALLED BARREN - Your Baby Series 007
Luke 1:36, KJV
"And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."
A woman once had complications and her womb had to be removed. The consequence is that she'll never ever be able to conceive let alone hold her own baby. The medical experts even went ahead to provide the couple with the alternative of adoption. You'll agree it makes sense to do. Like they'll say, "they care but God cures." Without disregarding or mocking medicine however, God overturned this report to give this woman a man child! That's nothing short of a miracle.
Michael Jordan speaks about himself: "At school when I was a little boy, I was told: "You will never play basketball. You're too skinny, you have no coordination, and you cannot think properly, you cannot find your way in the field." But I was obsessed with basketball. Every morning, I woke up at 5am, went to the gym, where I would throw the ball for 3 hours before school. There were cockroaches and rats everywhere in the darkness, but every day in the morning, with tears in my eyes, I continued to train and improve my movements. Every day for three years in a row, I kept on training. Once, one of the starting players on the team turned his ankle so he could not continue playing. They called me: "Come here, do you know how to play?" "Yes, I do." Well, come on, go and replace him!" He went to the court and began to throw the ball into the basket. The whole place went ablaze with cheers. The coach says, "stay on the court. We'll find a place for you in the team".
That legendary basketball player whose all his records haven't yet been broken is he who was told would never play basketball. Yet, the sport became his lifetime hobby and he not only played but went far gone in it.
As Gabriel announces God's divine conception that'll take place to Mary, he also notifies her about the state of Elizabeth, her cousin. Gabriel tells her, "your cousin Elizabeth is also pregnant with a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."
Hallelujah! Glory be to God! That's nothing short of a miracle. It means, "to their shame, look at what God has done for her despised!" I just have one work to do. That's to proclaim to you what the Lord is saying. And what's He saying? It's that, "you'll not only see or experience the season they said can't come on you, you'll be far gone in it." That's what I heard which launched this teaching.
While I've been on opening your sight to the destiny and specialness of your child, yet I concur there may be waiting mothers whose eyes are lifted to God, saying, "Lord, when shall I carry mine?" To such, especially to those that some men have vowed would never carry theirs, God is saying, "you shall enter you sixth month too. You'll not only enter but you'll see the ninth month and hit delivery also."
Like Gabriel says to Mary, "is anything too difficult for the Lord?" That need to be settled if you've become doubtful and hopeless considering how long you've been waiting. Elizabeth was in her old age yet it was never late for her. She conceived, saw the sixth month, entered the last trimester and delivered her baby safe and sound. This is just your testimony. It'll be shame to those who have mocked you when they hear or discover that you're in your sixth or far-gone month.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken good concerning you that you too shall experience that experience of a nursing mother. You shall be called a mother alongside other mothers. You shall have your own experience to share and your baby to bear. You will enter into your sixth month! It doesn't matter what people have called you. Did they call you sterile or infertile, let all that alone. Just confess with me, "I'm seeing my sixth month! I'm having my own bouncing baby!"
PRAYER: The God of all open doors, I call on you asking to be far-gone in the experience and event they said will never come on me. [Mention the event as peculiar to you].
