ISN'T THIS AMAZING?
Why does God want to bless us with children?
1. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BLESS US (Genesis 1:27-28; 9:1, 2, 7 and loads of others). There is a whole chapter on these blessing Scriptures in the book, "Be Fruitful and Multiply."
2. BECAUSE HIS FACE IS TURNED TOWARD US (Leviticus 26:9).
3. BECAUSE HE LOVES US (Deuteronomy 7:13).
4. BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY AND COMPASSION TOWARD US (Deuteronomy 13:17).
5. BECAUSE HE REJOICES OVER US (Deuteronomy 28:63).
6. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO US GOOD (Genesis 32:12; Deuteronomy 28:6; 30:5).
7. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO HONOR US (1 Chronicles 25:4-5).
8. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PROSPER US ABUNDANTLY (Deuteronomy 28:11).
9. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GIVE US JOY AND GLADNESS (Luke 1:13-14).
10. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO FILL THE EARTH WITH HIS GLORY AND FILL ETERNITY (Genesis 1:28; Malachi 2:15 and loads of others). Check out "Be Fruitful and Multiply."
Isn't this amazing? These Scriptures reveal the heart of God toward conception and fruitfulness. I wonder why so many Christians think children are a nuisance, and want as few as possible, when God's heart is the opposite. I wonder why they want to stop having children when God's Word reveals the opposite. Don't you think it's time for us to line up with God? If we belong to His kingdom, we'll believe what He says.
