      About the Author

      Acknowledgement

      M Y INDEBTEDNESS AND APPRECIATIONS ARE to God for making this text a reality, and for touching many lives through this book. The writing of this book will not have been possible without those with whom I have come in contact with. Their encouragement, either knowing or unknowingly, through their ideas, advice, articles, and texts material have been great. All of their impact has been a tremendous resourceful in the compiling of this book.

      It is has been a great challenge putting things together, sourcing for assistance and also making it possible, from all who share their life experience and personal views, which you definitely learn from.

      Remember, you can only give what you have, if you don’t have it you can give nothing. Your giving can be attached to the amount of intake or things you experience that have contributed to your growth and bettered your situation. I’ve had the privilege of having been able to read and understand various authors of life-changing books, materials. I’ve also attended their seminars, inspiration and motivational leadership conferences and discussions. And I vividly deduce it’s been a blessing to my life.

      Authors like Myles Munroe, Joel Osteen, Tim Lahaye, Sam Adeyemi, Ben Carson, the late Bimbo Odukoya, TD Jakes, David Oyedepo, Joyce Meyer, Enoch Adeboye, Robert T Kiyosaki, Chris Oyakhlome, to mention few, have impacted my life and let me see that the future will be great.

      To all my friends, family, who helped with the early stages of the beginning of this book, and the abstract development of the cover design, you will always be remembered for all time. A big thanks to you all!

      Where It Lays

      I N THE BEGINNING OF THE world God created the heaven and earth and the earth was without form, and void; darkness was upon the face of the water, Genesis 1 ¹:³ . We can deduce from this fact that the foundation of heaven and earth was in doom and shapeless. Before then, God came to introduce himself into the undesirable state of things created, which cannot behold or accommodate the precious creature of most high GOD to live in darkness. God spoke to the situation of heaven and earth, for there to be light, and there was (Genesis 13, John 1:5).

      It’s recorded that God made all that God created perfect and without blemish. In verse 26; God felt the need to have a family, to share feelings, and thoughts with humans. To have a family, he wanted us to be crowned in his image and appearance. He found reasons to assure, not by commands and instructions, to experience the care of the father to the children. Then look forth, with a sigh glazed to show a kind of pleasantry, he decided and said. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. That, emphatically pronounced by His Majesty, made man and gave a deep breath into him to have life. Come, let us make man. This man" has a plural sense and God was chatting about making many people, not just one.

      And He still derived the pleasure to see more of his likeness in man. In chapter 2 vs. 26 God caused Adam, the first man to go into a deep sleep and took one of his bones and placed with flesh, to make a woman. Adam said (verse 23) this is now the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman. This depicts the first recorded marriage (union) between Adam and Eve. A man shall leave his father’s home and cleave unto his wife (verse 24). It didn’t say that a woman shall leave her father’s home, but man will. This emphasized more on the responsibility that is rested upon a man in the new union. And, also you leaving the home of your parent to cleave unto a new woman must have a means to livelihood or substance, and be capable enough to take care of new home before getting hooked to a lady.

      The first union above gave us the union of family. Base on the agreement between Adam and Eve, their union was meant to produce children. They conceived and gave birth to Cain and Abel. This depicts the first generation of a family from the scripture Gen 41-2. You can see that the husband and wife lived as a couple, but without a child at first. But, as from the stage a child is born into a family (home), and becomes a member of the family. So this shows the importance of children to a family. Adam and Eve start to have deep thoughts on how to raise a family, and how to take care of the children; without a child, a family is not complete yet. The same is applicable to the barren, waiting upon the Lord for the fruit of the womb, because God has not created anyone to be barren. He said be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth is the God of all flesh and nothing is difficult for him to do Jeremiah 3227. He only can move into your situation and change your story. If you are experiencing such, I pray that the Lord Almighty will remember you and open widely the womb of your woman or lady, and you receive your divine miracle by faith, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

      Sarah, as we know, was barren for many years. She remained faithful and patiently waiting unto the Lord and God decided to step into her situation and opened her womb to conceive a child, who was called Israel or Jacob. God might decide to keep your babe late, while you’re expecting the precious babe, God is seriously busy taking his time to come with a wonderful predestined child of fortune; this will definitely go through some process of rebuilding, remolding, preparing, installing and configuring, to make that child a promising and destiny fulfilling one, as in the case of Jacob, Samuel and even John the Baptist. So patiently wait unto God and his divine outcome. Remember Hannah, 1 Samuel 15, 115:20; Luke 136, 57. So, why must your case be exceptionally, God does not create that your family for fruitless or barrenness purpose, but for it to remain fruitful and reproduce and subdue the earth. And to have dominion over all what God created Gen. 1²⁷.

      God’s purpose for creating man and woman is to reproduce and bring forth a new generation of children. These children will stand as a purpose of the unionism of the parent in the family. A family must be set up base on God’s wishes and purpose of existence for the continuation of the family to reproduce. This family of God lived by peace and harmony, just as peace and plenty were in Goshen for the Israelites and in the land of the Egypt. They experience the joy of the Lord, Isaiah 6514, and Matthew 1128. Also, ensure that your family abides in Christ and do the will of HE who is the head of the family James 122 be the doer of the word of God created you into the family. Do this so that you will experience the fullness of his presence in the family. Unless you abide in Christ by his living body, this cannot possibly be your position. Just as the family is Israel, who left Goshen for Egypt, will miss peace and surplus, according to Romans, 61. Those who are waiting upon the Lord for children must desist from every local belief in the case of barren women around you. It doesn’t matter how terrible their on case was. It might even be similar to yours. Note: if God has not confirmed a word about anyone, no one’s counsel will come to pass.

      In other words, who are those who commanded and come to pass when the Almighty God has not commanded? Of the many who counsel only the counsel of the Lord shall stand. That is why I believe the counsel of the Lord will stand and come to pass in your life in the name of Jesus. You shall rejoice with your new wonderful babe, be expectant and remain faithful, and you will surely testify.

      A way to break your family poverty is you to be empowered.

      You may have been the source of joy to that family you spring from. So you need to give it your utmost attention and to ease things when necessary. You might have been so helpful and generous to your family, yet it seems nobody
