"Have we not multiplied enough???"
All these craze about having “my own blood”, I don't just get it. There are too many children out there in need of parents already. Too many. And too many families who have no business raising kids. Must it be your own blood??
People will get married, and before you know it, the womb watchers will arrive. I call them the womb watchers because these are the set of people that immediately start calculating when you are expected to conceive and give birth. Have they ever thought if this couple wants to have kids? What if they’re taking their time? What if they want to adopt?
I know someone that had two children in the first three years of her marriage because “they were pressuring her.” This is not to mock her at all. Never! Yet, to feed those children, take care of their basic needs has been so difficult for them.
They’ll tell you “it’s God that provides. Just give birth. He will surprise you.”
Yes. You’ll be surprised. You’ll be surprised by poverty. Condemning innocent children to a lifetime of eating from hand to mouth, waiting for a miracle to happen. Only few ever make it out of the slum. A good number become what we call “hoodlum”. Why? All because some adults weren’t wise enough to look at their pockets and do the needful.
Rich people will be giving birth to 2-3 children. You think they’re foolish? And then, you that struggles all the time to eat and pay bills, will be pushing out six, one after the other. Are you serious????
A lot of persons have used the statement; 'Be Fruitful and Multiply' as an excuse and yardstick to give birth to so many children they can not train because of lack of finance. These children end up becoming touts and prostitutes, causing nuisance in our society.
I’m of the opinion that if you aren’t financially able to take care of yourself and your spouse comfortably, you have absolutely NO BUSINESS bringing children into this world.
The people that are pushing you to multiply will remember they have their own troubles when you go to them for help tomorrow and then you will begin to ask yourself, if that's the kind of life you truly want to live.
What’s important is that you have children and the means to care of them. And if you don’t wanna have kids, or adopt, or raise any, that’s perfectly okay too♥️
Wisdom is profitable. We need to apply wisdom.
Shalom.
Hmmmm this is one topic I wish people do talk about a lot especially the lower class of the society, I still think it's an act of wickedness to bring an innocent kids into this life without any proper planning on how to Carter for them.
Instead of hoping for miracle "God will provide" people should plan.
A lot of people bring children into this world for selfish reasons, called my own blood, I really hope as people most times we think more of those lots of kids suffering and in need of parents.
Thanks you for this post.
