Love ❤️ at Home: Having No ❌ Child, Should not be a kill Joy in the Home 🏡

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

HAVING NO CHILDREN IN THE HOME CAN BE A SOURCE OF DISCORD IN THE HOME, BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE! GOD’S GRACE CAN BE SUFFICIENT FOR YOU AND YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR JOY IN THE LORD.

‭‭Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

BARRENNESS DID NOT KILL THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN’S GENEROSITY

2 Kings 4:8-10

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 10Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

SHE WAS BARREN AND CONTENT WHEN THE PROPHET ASKED IF HE COULD SPEAK FOR HER TO THE KING SHE REFUSED

1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬

“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

2 Kings 4:11-17

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people. 14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. 15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. 17And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

BARRENNESS DID NOT STOP ZACHARIAH AND ELIZABETH FROM BEING FAITHFUL TO EACH OTHER AND TO SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD WITH OTHERS IN THE TEMPLE!

Luke 1:5-10

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 8And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 9According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

Psalm 84:11-12

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold...

NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM YOU! SO DO NOT LET THE LACK OF A CHILD KILL YOUR JOY

Habakkuk 3:17-19
