WHEN GOD NEEDS A BODY TO PERPETUATE A PROPHECY OR A NEED THROUGH - Your Baby Series 015
I Samuel 1:11, KJV
"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."
This is one major reason why you cannot be barren or let me say why some of you can't be barren in this life. I once heard a man of God share the testimony of another minister who comes from the ancestry of ministers. If we should count him, he is the seventh generation of minister from his ancestors. However, he remains barren. Nothing was coming from his wife. Everything was just stagnant. He then went to God and told Him that he cannot be barren. He told God if he would like the lineage of the calling that started donkey years ago to end with him with no seed from him to also give to the Lord; only then will He allow his barrenness! As such, this man miraculously obtains a seed from the Lord.
God Himself testifying of Abraham says in Genesis 18:19, "for I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." That has not left me. It means, "Abraham will perpetuate himself." It means what Abraham knows of Jehovah and how Abraham walked with Jehovah will not be allowed to die with him but passed like a baton. Another must run with it and those are his children. This is one of the reasons why God will disagree with your being cut off with the inability to produce a seed. God wants to propagate Himself and He has found nothing through which to do that but yielded and submissive vessels from godly Christians. He's looking for donors of such vessels. Don't forget that, "children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward" (Psalms 127:3, KJV). God's expectation once you have them is that you'll train them in the way they SHOULD go. Proverbs 22:6 says, "train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Once you do that by ordering them in God's way, then the Bible assures that they won't depart from it. Why? They'll be far gone in it. They'll have been steeped in it too much to recover. As such, the Lord will win over Satan at the gates. He will have souls through which He can destroy the works of the enemy from generation to generation.
When the prayer of Hannah coincides with what God is looking for - a prophet in the land, He turns to bless her with Samuel. Previously, Hannah must have wanted a child out of rivalry. She wanted to keep up and score a point as well. But when she realized it wasn't working and having been beaten to sensing God's need, she aligns with God's thought and only then did God send her a gift of a child.
Judah probably don't need to give birth to any child again if one of the seeds from his rightful wife had had the promise perpetuated through him. The one that could have done so was too young and Judah was not even ready to give him away in marriage to Tamar for fear of what might befall him even when he has now become older. But God's urgency and search for a seed is revealed in Tamar's sense of urgency, unrest and desperateness for one (not knowing she is being jealous for God). God Himself needed a seed at that moment! It is now and not later! As such and for the prophecy and promise that must be perpetuated, God chooses a seed out of the twins from Tamar/Judah's intercourse to perpetuate the promise of "a seed shall bruise the serpent's head" (Gen. 3:15).
Let me tell you something, when there is a promise or prophecy on your lineage or family that must be perpetuated, same thing happens. God will look for a seed and a body for Himself in any member or let's say qualified member of that family to continue with. If there's none readily available at hand, then a child will need to be birthed for such. Don't forget that the word of God's mouth can't be turned back lest He be taken for a liar. Due to this, God raises a seed for Himself always. For this reason, God will give you a seed. If you can be trusted to raise a godly seed on the surface of the earth for God (amidst the ongoing corruption and perversion). God will just be attracted to you. Do you know why? He wants to preserve and sustain Himself or better still godliness (and all of His righteous values). Anyone who will partner with God will never suffer a seed because God will be under obligation wanting to propagate Himself through your seeds.
For this reason, rejoice. You can't be barren! Promise and mean to avail God a body and you'll see the result.
PRAYER: [For waiting couples]: God, give us a seed and such shall be given you in return. Father, capacitate me to raise godly seeds in this perverted world.
