HAPPY WOMB ESCAPE  - Your Baby Series 010

Psalms 22:9-10, KJV

"9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly."

When we celebrate birthday, what do we wish ourselves? You likely wished that fellow the other day, "long life and God's prosperity, happy womb escape" or in my manner, "long life and God's salvation" etc. 

Irrespective of the caring wishes or salutation used, one thing is acknowledged. The fellow being wished those good things has escaped the womb to being in the here and now in our world. If he had not escaped the womb to seeing the world that be outside his or her mother's womb, those greetings or wishes wouldn't have apply? Hear what this psalmist says. "But thou art he that took me out of the womb." He refers to God Almighty as the doer. He credits Him with such deliverance. At that time of lament and acknowledgement of God as He who takes him out of his mother's womb, he is faced with besetting enemies who would spare nothing but give all it takes to swallow him up. 

Psalms 22:12, KJV "Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round."

So, in his call to God, he tells Him to repeatedly give him deliverance and escape like He once did for him while he was housed in his mother's womb. If you know what the womb is, you'll acknowledge with me that it is a house which can even become a prison needed to be broken out of when delivery time peaks and has duly mounted. A time was when your baby stayed in your womb for safety, nutrition and just all that. However, another time came when he or she had to be released. Not releasing the foetus can lead to its discomfort and yours alike. As such, the womb can become a prison when ejection is not made at such time. But, thanks be to our God. The God of David, this psalmist is ours also. He acknowledges God for the no small deed of granting him escape from his mother's womb. As such, it's not a mere event when a woman delivers safely. Create that special sense in your kid that it was God who granted him escape from the womb to see the outside world for a purpose He sure knows and will like him to fulfill. Delivery isn't ordinary. It is God's granted salvation to the mother and the child alike. Both rejoice and long to be relieved. One, of her pregnancy; the other, from the womb. So, it's indeed "happy womb escape" to any one who now lives. Thank God you were not trapped in your mother's womb. While the remembrance of one's day of delivery reaches a crescendo and is usually celebrated on a marked birth day once a year, it should be our heartfelt acknowledgement to God that we were born. God knows about the psalmist's birth and granted him an escape. Yours isn't different. Praise Him. On your behalf, I say to God, "thanks for the womb escape of today's reader."

PRAYER: Pray for safe delivery and passage of all foetus. Nothing shall hold back their delivery.

A STAMMERER MADE PROPHET - Your Baby Series 009

Exodus 4:10-12, KJV

"10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."

May I however encourage someone there? Yesterday as I taught on series 008, I heard, "Moses is a stammerer but it didn't stop his destiny."

God wants to bring encouragement to some other women or parents who have noticed some health disorder or defects in their kids and till hitherto same has not been amended. 

What I heard is that, "it won't affect their destiny in any way negative." As far as we all know, that's all that matters. The destiny of a man that is lived and fulfilled makes him attractive to all and sundry. The 'specialness' Moses' mother sees in him at the very beginning of his life is what he lived up to at day's end. As a matter of fact, that destiny is what God seeks to protect when He gives Moses an adopting mother in Pharaoh's daughter. That's the long road God could walk to ensure that the destiny of your child is untampered with. Moses being a prophet swallows his being a stammerer. Let it be told on the mountains, we obviously identify with Moses being a prophet than being a stammerer. That is what will happen to that child whose difficulty seems to be apparent for now. Once the oil lands on him, he'll be taken over to do what he couldn't have done ordinarily. Oil is not only for those called or ordained into ministry. A scientist needs the oil of his field to excel as one. There is oil or grace for every office or field God is calling your child to. If he were to be a world renown painter but with a challenge in the arm, you'd be shocked that such challenge would be bypassed until he becomes that same artist in a way people would wonder how he paints knowing the difficulty at hand. How many imagine Nick Vujicic would turn out who he is currently? A Serbian born Australian -American evangelist and motivational speaker, having tetramelia syndrome, a disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs. Yet, he has come to take life by its horn. He does things for himself as if he has no missing parts. Instead of being depressed, he's the motivator. He found himself and success, fame and wealth have now followed him. He's happily married to a complete woman and also with kids of his own. What else could a man have asked for?

Look, God will take him or her over so that the testimony that'll come of him or her would be, "this is he that was thought could never be in his sixth month (in the field where God would have him or her used). Yet, he's there and has colonized it. 

People, including yourself might have thought what can this one do? You might have been haunted with hopelessness but only with some ray of light encouraging. God is saying, "I Who made the mouth shall take over his/her mouth or that part that needs a taking over." God asked Moses when He was about sending him,  "who created the human mouth?" God was with Moses' mouth. Though he eventually bargained until God gave him Aaron (for a mouthpiece), yet it is whatsoever he tells Aaron he (Aaron) reemphasizes. In the same way, God will glorify Himself in and through that human weakness, frailty and defect of your child. God told Paul in II Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." As such, Paul glories gladly in his infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon him. I see same as a way out. God wants to cause a better wonder by working through such weakness inherent in your child's earthen vessel to bring about His glory. Relax and let God take all the glory. It's a journey to destination of wonders. Nothing changes still in his or her preordained destiny. When God's fire fell on Elijah's sacrifice on Mount Carmel, it consumed everything at sight including the stubborn impediments: the stones and the water. The fire leaked up the water instead of being stopped by it. Imagine that! Your child by God's outstretched arm on him will swallow up his defects. It won't show again therefore. The potency of your child's calling will ingest, absorb and assimilate to nothingness the defects that should have hindered him in fulfilling his destiny. In same way fire consumes with rage out of sight, his grace shall consume and overpower all his perceived human weaknesses. As such, only strength, grace and his prowess shall be revealed and heralded. 

PRAYER: Lord, let your strength, the grace of the office or field you're calling my child into overwhelm and swallow any infirmity or impediment that can restrict him.

YOUR BABY IS GOODLY AND WHOLE - Your Baby Series 008

Exodus 2:2, KJV 

"And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months."

Your baby will be whole. If you're pregnant, that's the confession to affirm. If your baby or child is not currently because of an ailment or anomaly, be full of expectation as God will be healing all babies or even fetuses with a thing wrong with them. 

Did you observe in our reading that it was said of Moses that he was goodly, beautiful or a proper child as rendered by another translation? That describes a uniqueness, unusuallity and gift he was born with. That paints him as the kind of child anyone would love to have. No one wants to have a child that'll be sickly, repressed or one showing signs of down syndrome for instance. We want a perfect baby - a beautiful or special one. Such that we'll be proud of. We want a good and perfect gift free from the perversion of Satan. 

That's God's intention for all expectant and nursing mothers. Be assured, nothing shall go wrong or tamper with the constitution of the fetus in you or the child you now carry. This perfection that God declares utmostly touches on your child's destiny also. All is new, good, special, beautiful and unique. Your baby has been made in a mould that was not, is not and will not. This makes him or her the special individual that he/she is. And as I speak, I am anointed to say, "nothing shall corrupt the seed you have received as special from the Lord." Birth procedures, complications and any sort of mishaps (even spiritual) shall not dicily change them to another from that special and astounding creation God made them.

As such, be assured if you're very much afraid that your baby can turn out sick or physically challenged due to medical reports. If there's any conviction that necessitates such, the basis for them all is what God is attending to on your behalf now. I change such report to good news. I call you to believe God's report of healing and right mind for them. Who has believed my report? (Isa.53:1). God is at this hour visiting the root of any problem that has been detected medically and He's putting it right. This other daughter of the house of Levi carried Moses to term without any mishap being recorded. You're also a Hebrew woman and her lot is your lot. You're Abraham's seed. As such, be assured that you shall have a good outcome. Your child is beautiful, handsome, proper and special. He's a gift with a bundle of gifts in him. Nothing short of this!

PRAYER: My child is whole, goodly, unique, versatile, able, enabled, eloquent and capacitated. He's a perfect gift.

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].

YOU SHALL FIND THEM - Your Baby Series 006

Genesis 48:11, KJV

"And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed."

Yesterday, I prophesied that your children when given up are as bread casted on the water that'll be found after many days and are as a corn of wheat sown in the soil but to bring forth plentifully in return. 

In this way, you'll not only get what you gave or yielded up but rightly receive a dividend over same. I have a succinct illustration from the Bible to illustrate this. 

When Jacob's children  report back to him that a wild animal has eaten Joseph (amidst the false proof of the coat of many colours soaked in blood), Jacob would not be comforted. He weeps and calls himself many unfortunate names (I suppose). He said lamenting, "I'll go down into the grave to my son mourning" (Gen.37:35). After many days, he agreed with his fate and forever yielded up Joseph. He never thought of meeting or receiving him back again until Joseph sent chariots and many tangibility to begin to wake and rouse his father to the proof of his existence. Jacob was dazed and he'll not be doused until he had seen Joseph for himself. He'll need to touch his flesh like Thomas (the doubter did to Jesus) and by this be assured that indeed herein is Joseph. 

Such day eventually came and went by. Consequently upon Jacob's death bed, Jacob confesses, "I have not thought seeing your face again but now I see also your issues."

From yielding up Joseph, he literally sowed him into the manifestation of his purpose and glory. At the end, he not only received Joseph, he received a family with him!

Brethren, temporary departure even if it is a death of a beloved one isn't the end. Reunion is assured in Christ - the eternal life (John 3:16, I Cor.15:52). 

Are there parents here whose children walked out and never return? Are their carers here whose children have been lost to the wide whole world of sin and immorality? Though that was not your wish for them but I'm moved to say, "you'll have them back". They shall be retrieved and you shall know joy together once more at the family table. Let all prodigal children return. Let the remembrance of God and home strike your heart to the core. Be brought to repentance and yield up your life with sinners. You're regained. 

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for the miracle of retrieving back my lost child. I receive them in good health and all perfection. [Make that your confession]. Pray for backslided Christians and those who strayed that you know.

TRUST GOD AND PASS THE BATON - Your Baby Series 005

Exodus 2:10, KJV

"And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water."

Jim Elliot says, "he is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." In Africa or let me say ancient Africa, parenting is a community work and not the reserve of the biological parents only. I'm still on your child. Only that, I might tilt towards parenting and what your attitude should be towards passing the baton. Let your prayer as a parent from day one be, "God, raise parents for my kid at all time." You're not praying this because you lack faith that you won't see tomorrow. Rather, because separation will one day be inevitable. 

Moses was forced to leave the hands of her parents. No parents living and doing well would look at a baby (a three month old) and toss him off like that. Even if the father ever solicits for such, it won't come easily to the mother who'll still be filled with the memory of the birth pangs. On this basis, such child is therefore not easily yielded up. However, Moses had to leave her parents' hands and eventually their home. He had to be 'casted off'. He had to be tossed to another. He had to go away and painfully as a child. Your own might need to grow into an adolescent before that fat is shed but one thing is sure, he or she will fly. A bird is born to fly and not remain in its nest. Or, do you wish for a child to retain and nurse all your life? You got the message. 

Be willing when it's the divine time to release the rein and let your child go. The call of destiny will arrive for each child differently at their time. There are children who won scholarships to travel out of the country and far away from their parents even while just Junior Secondary School students. Samuel didn't reach that age before he was boarded away to live with Eli. So, it might be your child's turn and his destiny to leave early to the academy or a definite place of destiny coaching. Joseph also had to walk this road. He was forcefully cut off from his loving dad and home. Yet, all in preparation for the manifestation of God's plan for him. Not knowing when this call might call, it's your responsibility to build structure in your child very early. It'll include teaching the concept and existence of God, faith in Jesus and ensuring their personal salvation, gender definition and its perversion, ethics and morals, self identity and esteem, patriotism for fatherland and pride in one's origin, people and culture. 

One major thing that's difficult for parents to do is to let the ship of their children sail. They feel a kind of loss letting them go and though it might be hard to bear, you shall find them back. They'll be like bread cast on the water that shall be found many days hence (Eccl. 11:1) and a seed of corn sown that will assuredly bring forth plentifully (John 12:24). 

I might as well pronounce as I just perceived that God is sending adopting parents before some of you. For whatsoever reason for which your son or daughter needs to be beloved, shown kindness or tender love, spoken or advocated for, God will raise mouth to speak and hands to bear him up (even in a strange land). God raised a parent for Moses. He was adopted when his parents from a clear conscience were forced to abandon him. At day's end, the testimony coming from this act is, "and Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds" (Acts 7:22). Imagine! Look at the good education he received through adoption. God needed to familiarize him with the court and system He'll later send him to resist also. As such, God sent him ahead.

Adoption is not always evil when it is an initiation of the Lord. It always has a happy ending. Upon separation from your kids, either on daily basis when you leave them at the creche or wherever, God will find parents for them even in their teachers. Such parents are those who'll jealous for them with your jealousy. They'll care for them like you will do. Sunday school teachers, creche carers, nannies, caring relatives, grandparents etc are those who need to be rightly filled with an adoption spirit because it is in their company your child will spend time. Is it his time for enrollment in school? Send him and let him be properly adopted and mentored. Don't slacken the ride for him or he might experience delayed manifestation. I pray for your kid, he'll find men to receive him in every time of need. 

PRAYER: Lord, shed light on the path of this one (lay hand on your child) and find him/her parents other than we his parents when he's in dire need of one.

A BIOGRAPHY: A BRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE BURNING" - Your Baby Series 004

On February 9, 1709, Reverend Samuel and Susannah Wesley's family survived a fire accident that threatened their survival and consumed nearly all their possessions. The family's eight children were eventually saved but we need to look critically at the saving of John Wesley. Of the family, John Wesley was the one whose rescue costs going the extra mile - thereby bringing to the sense of a meditator that this boy is no ordinary one. 

Betty, a servant of the Wesley was said to have gone to the nursery to get the youngest children, including one who was barely one. Bearing the little ones, she called on 5-year old John Wesley to follow her to safety. At arrival however, John was missing. Susannah Wesley who was in her third trimester of pregnancy and who had escaped with a burnt legs explains that Betty "left Jacky (for so was John Wesley also called) to follow her, but he, going to the door and seeing all on fire, ran back again."

Samuel attempted multiple rescue of John but he was prevented by the flames that has now consumed the staircase. He returned to the garden fearing John could not be saved. The family even prayed to God to receive his soul. They lost all hope!

When a glimpse of him was caught at the window of the now very consumed house, some quick witted resourceful men reached the window with one climbing his neighbour's shoulders. This was after he (John Wesley) had yelled and yelled with no help coming from outside. It wasn't long the roof of his room gave way. This experience made his mother allude to him as "a brand plucked from the burning" (Zech. 3:2). 

His father commenting later said, "come, neighbours! Let us kneel down! Let us give thanks to God! He has given me all my eight children: let the house go: I am rich enough!" His joy knew no bounds as he kissed John repeatedly in an outstanding emotional outburst and thanksgiving to God. 

John Wesley would later go on to found the Methodist Church and be revered as one of the great revivalists of all time in church history. It is clear from his saving that God grants special salvation to people for a purpose He intends. Of all the eight children's rescue, his was the most dramatic, suspenseful or even foregone.

Where it seems there's no way, God shall create a way for you. This story and testimony is acquaintance to many though this one may be particular to John Wesley. However, many many dangerous things did many people escape. Such special deliverance should be noted. Moses met his deliverance and that culminates in the name and testimony that he was "drew out of the water". This is the lot of your kid at faces of dangers. They are given to experience escape when the flood of life comes. They'll be "drew out of the water", "plucked from the burning", "preserved in famine" and kept in all situations. 

The Bible says in Job  5:19, "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee." Then it goes on to make a long list of all the things God will deliver you and your baby from (Job 5:20-26). What a list! What a deliverance!You can believe for this. It is truth. It is reality.  Irrespective of what the situation is, await God's escape. He delivers even from famine, insufficiency and scarcity that the economy of your country might have caused. He'll come. He'll not hold back. He'll arrive to draw your baby out of perils (no matter what it may be) to the preservation of his soul. 

PRAYER: Special deliverances and rescues are mine and ours. In all, I am more than a conqueror.

PRAYER: El-shaddai, the great carer and loving God from whom come all good and perfect gifts, cut a covenant of preservation with my kid(s).
