‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
(Mark 10:14)
Women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with propriety.
(1 Timothy 2:15)
Mark 10:6-9
But at the beginning of creation, God 'made them male and female.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Colossians 3:18-21
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
I knew a woman who was very lonely.
Genesis 3:16
"I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you."
She was happy when she received praise from others stating how lucky her husband must be to have such wonderful wife.
James 4:16-17
As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. So then, if you know the good you ought to do and do not do it, you sin.
But the praise never came from her husband and she was lonely and very insecure about herself. She wanted her marriage to last so she worked very hard to be his trophy wife without any complaints.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Her husband was a great career man, great father to his children, a Christian man and well respected by the people. He spent his vacation with his family and always made sure that his children were not lacking in anything. He made all of the household decisions without his wife’s concern and she never complained. He was a jolly man who loved to make jokes and have fun.
1 Peter 3:1-7
· Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so you may be won over by the behavior and they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
· Your beauty should not come from outward adornment but of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
· The way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord.
· You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
· Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
She never complained, but became a bitter person by comparing her life with others and she felt sorry about herself. She tried to talk to her husband about their problems but his response was, “there is no problem”, and he dismissed her as if she was a child.
Genesis 29:31-32
When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive and she became pregnant.
Finally, a time came and she felt brave to tell her husband off, she told him she wanted out and she was going to take her children and the baby that was inside her.
Her husband asked her for another chance and she forgave him.
Luke 17:3
"If a brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
During the pregnancy she found out that baby boy she was carrying was dead.
Mark 10:27
With God, all things are possible with God.
A miracle, she was pregnant again with another child.
Leviticus 26:3-5
If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
After death of her baby boy, she did not know nor had any hope that this child would be born healthy and she had to make a choice.
God gives us choice
Jesus teach us how to be obedient
Holy Spirit helps us in our daily walk
Confession for our sin helps us move forward.
"If a brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent,' you must forgive them." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" (Luke 17:3-5)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ( John 3:16 )
Now it is up to you
My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring them back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the way of error will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. (James 5:19)
Please spend time reading your Bible, read it until He calls us home.
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near. (Revelation 1:3)
God Bless you,
