What the Bible 📖 says about your tears, Tears of a Barren Woman‼️Part 1

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

WHEN THERE IS A CHALLENGE OF BARRENNESS IN THE HOME YOU MUST SUPPORT EACH OTHER RATHER THAN BLAMING ONE ANOTHER OR BLAMING ONESELF! ELIZABETH AND ZECHARIAH WHERE RIGHTEOUS BUT HAD NO CHILDREN. THEY SAVED GOD FAITHFULLY IN THAT STATE UNTIL THEY HAD AN ANGEL VISITOR ANNOUNCING THE COMING OF A CHILD. ZECHARIAH DID LOOK FOR ANOTHER WIFE.

Galatians 6:2

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 

Luke 1:6-7

And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

Genesis 25:21

And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Genesis 30:1-2

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 2And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? 

Psalm 127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

The presence of Jesus is needed in the home; for the mother’s ministries of love may shape the home into a Bethel. The husband and the wife are to co-operate. What a world we would have if all mothers would consecrate themselves on the altar of God, and would consecrate their offspring to God, both before and after its birth! – {Adventist Home p. 255.1}

MANOAH AND WIFE LIKE ZECHARIAH AND ELIZABETH SUPPORTED EACH OTHER IN BARRENNESS. MANOAH DID NOT TAKE ANOTHER WIFE.

Judges 13:1-5

And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. 3And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. 4Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: 5For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. 

Judges 13:8-13

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: 7But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. 8¶Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. 9And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. 11And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. 12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.

Judges 13:24

And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, a
