She Who Was Said to be Barren is in Her Sixth Month

The Birth of Jesus Foretold

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.Luke 2

Each one of us may have barren areas in our lives that have failed to conceive, that have failed to be fruitful, that have failed to multiply. Yet God said, "Go be fruitful and multiply, Genesis 1

Barrenness or failing to conceive is a curse. It is not of God. Barrenness may be physiological, physical, mental, financial, social, in relationships, or even spiritual.

God is saying to you and me today like the Angel told Mary that "she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month." For nothing is impossible with God. No word from God will fail. that you, that me is with child. Is pregnant. Is bearing good news of a child. Is life giving. 

What are your circumstances right now? "Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age,..." Is your situation age, are your circumstanced limited by things natural, by distance, by location not within reach? by a low school education? By a low self esteem? 

By your past? By your lineage? By your blood line? By your heritage?

What is it that is keeping you from conceiving your God given plans, desires, dreams and hopes He has put in your heart?

What have people said so far that have limited you from conceiving?
do you believe what the word of God says? 

the Angel told Mary an accompanying encouragement to emphasize what God can do and what God had done so she could believe. so she could not doubt. Elizabeth knew her relative of course. Probably her Jajja.

First of all, Not only was Elizabeth old in age, past the years or period where women conceive babies, but she was also known to be barren, that she could not conceive. It was common knowledge. 

So what is common knowledge about you? What have people said about you? What have they spoken about you, maybe negatively?

2. For God to be magnified, He has to turn around completely a situation that is commonly known. For God to be magnified He has to turn upside down  a negative circumstance  into a positive one that is commonly known. That people have spoken about and have given up for you. There should be witnesses to your situation. 

There should be witnesses to your circumstance. So that there is no doubt as to who change your situation, your circumstance. 

When natural laws and natural principles have reached their limit. Then God who made them is the only one who can bypass them for he is Supreme in all the Earth and heaven. And God delight in changing our circumstances ans situations for the better if only we could trust Him totally. If only we could leave everything to him in His hands to solve. He loves us so much that he has given us free will. He does not coerce us, he does not force us. Never. For God loves us so much to give us freedom of choice to work with Him. God is the Supreme Aristocrat, King of kings, Lord of lords, God of gods. 

Why do we find it so hard to trust in God with all our hearts and mind? With all our strength? To love Him with all our hearts, all our strengths, all our minds, and all who we are? Yet we put all our trust in the created who can make mistakes? Yet we give our hearts, our minds, our strengths, and love those who have no perfect love? those who betray us again and again? 

So where do you stand? Where are you? 

Today you may realise that you who was barren physiologically, medically, financially, socially - could not keep any relationship whether relatives, friends or wife or husband for long, being single for a long time, no marriage around the corner, married but divorced or separated, mentally - could not achieve the heights you have been reaching for - bagamba mbu tolina magezi, mbu oli musiru; or even spiritual - oyo tayinza kulokoka, that you who could not conceive, but you are already pregnant with you miracle. For there is nothing impossible with God. For no word from God will ever fail.

3. Are you ready to receive God's angel today and hear God's word for you? 

Any idea to be birthed, it has to be conceived first, to be kept in the womb for security, nurture, warmth, protection, formation of parts - limbs and organs to make a whole. So when it is birthed, it is truly the one. No one can mistake it. It is a whole. A child conceived in her mother's womb in not recognisable at about three months. But the DNA is complete, the genes are complete, the sex is complete and so much more. In the Kingdom of God, this child is already known by God like He told Jeremiah when He called him that He knew him even before he was conceived in his mother's womb? Jeremiah 1.

4. Protect your conception. Honour it for it is from God. Respect it. Give thanks to God and magnify Him.
