TRUNCATING YOUR
CHILD’S DESTINY?
Memorise: For, Io,
thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for
the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to
deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Read: Judges 13:2-5,
2 And
there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was
Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
3 And the angel of the Lord appeared
unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest
not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor
strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no
razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from
the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the
Philistines.
Bible in one year:
Psalm 100-104, Hebrews 12:3-29
Because God is a God of purpose, He never does anything without a
purpose. When He speaks, He has a purpose of what He says. When He laughs,
there is also a purpose (Psalm 37:13). When He created you, it was for a
purpose. May you fulfil God’s purpose for creating you in Jesus’ Name. Do you
know that God’s plan and purpose for your life had been concluded long before
He laid the foundations of the earth (Ephesians 1:3-5)? However, for you to
fulfil this purpose, you need to understand it, and you need do everything to
ensure it is not derailed. Our Bible reading shows how crucial it is to
understand purpose. When an angel was sent ton announce to Manoah’s wife that
she would conceive and give birth to Samson, it was for a specific purpose: the
child was to be set apart unto God has a Nazarite. One lesson here is that even
when God has a specific purpose for a person, it is the responsibility of
parents not to derail this purpose, right from the point of conception, until
God’s plan is fulfilled. For example, if Samson’s mother had insisted on taking
alcoholic drinks or eating anything classified as unclean after she had been
warned by the angel, she would have derailed God’s purpose for Samson.
The plan of God for Samson was that the Holy Spirit would start working
on him right from when he was in his mother’s womb; but if his mother had
consumed alcohol, two spirits would have been at war in her: the Holy Spirit
and the spirit of alcohol (an demonic spirit). Because the Holy Spirit would
not work where the spirit of alcohol holds sway, Samson would never have become
what God planned for him to be. This simply tells us that the physical and
spiritual state of parents, particularly mothers, is of great importance, right
from the conception of a child. The actions of a mother affect the foetus in
her womb and can alter the destiny of a child. The actions of a pregnant woman
who smokes cigarettes or marijuana, often takes alcohol or hard drugs such as
cocaine and so on will definitely affect the baby in her womb. Sometimes, the
physical structure of that baby is tempered with, leading to abnormal foetal
development or deformities. Such children could even develop mental health
issues and find it difficult to live normal lives. Worse still, if a child ends
up being aborted, the destiny of that child is completely destroyed. Beloved mothers, abstain from anything that
can cause harm to your unborn child! Do not be guilty of truncating your
child’s destiny!
