Genesis 25:22-23 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is so, why then am I this way?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger."
PURPOSE FINDER&DESTINY PRESERVER
What I'm about to share about parenting may sound a little controversial but I believe there's a place for it in God. Another thing I found in my bible about parenting is that a parent can inquire from God about the purpose of their seeds and pray it into reality. When Rebecca was pregnant, she went to inquire from from God what the destinies of the babies in her womb would be. Now, that sounds unfamiliar but it is there for us to read as an example to follow.
People get pregnant every day and it is becoming a sport for some not minding what the seed in them would become. What we fail to understand about the relationship between Rebecca, Jacob&Esau is that Rebecca loved Jacob for his destiny. We cannot adjudge her to be totally wrong to have helped Jacob receive the patriarchal blessings from Isaac. This is because she knew the mind of God concerning Jacob and she ensured all that was necessary for him to become what God intended of him was available( Patriachal blessings of Isaac inclusive).
Isaac loved Esau because of food and his hunting skills but Rebecca loved Jacob because of his destiny. if you're not ready to nuture your seeds into destiny, please don't get pregnant. The world has seen alot of miscreants and we shouldn't add more. Be ready to pay the price for the destinies of your children. Even if God didn't give you a revelation about their purpose in life, just spend enough time in prayers for your children so as to preserve them for God's assignment believing that at the right time, they'll discover it.
You need to spend quality time in prayer to help preserve the destiny of your kids.
Happy Sunday dearest...
