When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:41 (NET)

It is beautiful to see the jnnocency displayed by babies. Babies come out of their mother’s womb full of trust to the relations they meet. They look intently to the parents knowing that they will be supported in times of need. They take in and absorb all the sensory stimuli that come their way as these help shape their future. Every marriage seeks to have a child, however it is not every couple who recognize the gift of God placed in their care. BABY stands for Bearing the Adorable Beginnings of Yahweh. No wonder Christ stated “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.Luke 18:17 (KJV) Being a BABY is not age related. Bearing adorable beginnings of Yahweh relates to the instructions God reveals to you to carry out. Take Moses as an example, He was instructed to bring God’s people out of Egypt which he carried out (Exodus 3:9-10) also Joseph who had a dream that his brothers will bow to him. They got angry but it happened (Genesis 37:5-8). Jacob, who had to negotiate his salary through genetic engineering, yes it happened Genesis 31:10-11). All these bore adorable beginnings and its full manifestation is there for all to see the glory of God and talk about them today.

What beginnings have been shown to you? What beginnings have you put back because it appears difficult to get it manifesting? What beginnings have people talked you out of, describing you as if you arrived from a different planet? In certain cultures the adage goes, “If its not broken don’t fix it” It reminds me of Charles H, Duell (1899) a patent officer who stated, “Everything that can be invented has been invented” and recommended that the department be shut. How wrong was he! He probably did not read 1 Corinthians 2:9 that state “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”

Do not allow criticisms to deny you of your baby or humiliating comments to put you off track. Do not allow negatives comments to limit your ambitions. Let these be the catalyst which catapults you to develop the baby. The murder charge did not stop Moses from going back to Pharaoh neither did the prison experience of Joseph nor the 21 years of Jacob with Laban stop them from coming out with their babies – the brothers bowing and 12 tribes of Israel going out of Laban’s house. Let nothing stop you. Just like babies, focus intently on God and remain faithful, absorbing all that the Holy Spirit reveals. He has committed the baby to you as a gift. Be encouraged that the full development of it will serve the Kingdom with His Glory. Amen
