Humilate Infertility Today

Many women facing infertility and miscarriage have asked everyone to help them have a baby except God. They have asked their husbands, their doctors, friends, “Please Help me to have a baby”, But I want to ask you a question, have you asked God to give you a child? I want to use this bible story of female infertility to encourage you.

This is about a lady named Rachel. The bible says “When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister, because her sister had children. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die! Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?” Genesis 30:1-2.

When she got tired of infertility she cried out for help. But she only reached out for the wrong person. Her husband became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children? I have since discovered from my own life experience that a man is only a tool in
the hand of God.

Many times our hearts can be set in the wrong direction, and this affects our outcome in life. Today, I want to encourage you to come to God and ask him for a baby. You may be facing miscarriage, female infertility, hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovarian problems, or even secondary infertility. You can pray in faith and ask God to heal you.

This is what the bible offers you, Jesus says:

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”. Luke 11:9.
“And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son”. John 14:13.
“If you shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.” John 14:14

These are just a few of God’s promise that if you ask him, he will do it for you. He has promised you and God does not lie. I have since learnt that there are times our inability to ask God limits what God can do for us. You may say what of all those teenagers that get pregnant everyday? Do they really ask God?

Well, we cannot judge our circumstance by another person’s standard. But we can deal with God on an individual level, which is what pleases him, the most.

Now back to the story of Rachel in the bible. After her husband pointed her to God as her source, she turned her face towards God, knowing only he could give her a baby. She changed her focus and continued to pray to God. The bible tells us this, “Then God remembered Rachel, and he listened to her and opened her womb”.

She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, “God has taken away my disgrace”. She named him Joseph, and said, May the Lord add to me another son.
