Everybody in our country is concerned about the prosperity of our country. Every now and then you hear the politicians, the President, all talking and making plans to prosper this country!
In the last 20 and more years everything was planned and done but still we do not prosper! Instead it looks like things are getting worse! The question is, is there a way to prosper this country so ALL in this country could benefit? It would seem that all the plans and actions are fruitless. What more can we do that would work?
I hope the government is struggling with this question! They should, because this is a very serious and important question!
The solution
The only solution to this question is found in the One who controls all these things! He controls every economy of the world and has the solution for every problem in this country and the world! When we entered into the new dispensation, new South Africa, new democracy we in our effort to bring freedom to all that were oppressed, we pushed this freedom too far! We pushed this freedom so far that it went right up against the will of God! In what manner?
When the new democracy was born in 1994 the government was under pressure to legalise abortions. This we know is against the will of God! Because of this and other legislation, we caused the drying up of the blessings of God!
We cannot expect God to bless and proper this country if we ignore Him and what He wants?
I know that many will say, because science says so, those abortions are legal before 12 weeks because there is no heartbeat, thus no life! Does this mean science is right and God is wrong? To whom should we listen? If we are serious about prospering this country, we will listen to what God has to say! Let us look at the question of life before 12 weeks. Let us see what the word of God says, without any deception.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;” Isa 44:24. Can you see? God made all things including that embryo in the womb!
Every conception is of God! This is the reason why we cannot just abort as we like! But is it true that there is no life before 12 weeks and we can therefore abort the child? When conception takes place, God forms a living cell in the womb. A living cell with the necessary DNA! Where does the DNA originate from? God! This cell must be alive, how else would it grow?
Does it grow? Yes!
It grows to become the child. If however this cell had no life it would not develop! Why? It is all the will of God! He gives life! To say there is no life before 12 weeks is not just a mistake, it is a great mistake!
“Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.” Isa 49:1. Can you see that the pregnancy is planned by God and falls into His plan for that child?
That child that you want to abort can be one that could become a important instrument in the hand of God! You say it is a mistake, the pregnancy is a mistake!
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” Isa 49:15.
Today, many women forget the aborted child. One thing, God will never forget! He had a plan for that child! How does the woman or anyone else say the embryo does not feel anything when it is ripped from the womb?
How do you know if you cause that child great pain while allowing an abortionist to rip it from the womb? Why is it that woman do not feel anything for the unborn child? Selfishness! Career! No respect for God!
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jer 1:5. Can you see? God knows every child before it was formed in the womb!
He knows the child and had His plan in order before the child was formed in the womb! He actually sanctified the child! What does that mean?
Sanctified means to set apart. Before the child was formed in the womb God had already set the child apart or one side for His purpose and plan!
How can we come and destroy the creation of the Creator? How on earth can we say we can murder these children? One day you will stand before God to explain why you ruined his plans and took the lives of these children! Every child is formed by God, He caused the seeds that came together in the womb to become a living being!
“As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. ” Eccl 11:5. What does this verse say? Just as we do not know how the bones are formed in the womb, do we not know how God works. We cannot just do what we want, it is the creation of God that we destroy!
I am not here to do an in depth study, but I must let my voice be heard! Whether the government knows it or not, the truth has to be spoken! When we look at the verses above we get a definite message. 1) God forms the child in the womb and is known of God before it was formed. 2) God calls the child from the womb and God knows the child name before it is born.
God knew who the father and the mother would be! 3) The mother can abort the child and forget about it, but God will never forget! 4) We do not know the ways of God who caused the child to grow in the womb, we do not know why God created the child in the womb.
For this reason we cannot abort the child at any time of the pregnancy!
Continued next week.
