Bring a little taste of Heaven to your home.

THE BABY FIRST AND THEN THE PROVISION!
This is an interesting principle, isn’t it? I read the other morning in Numbers 33:54: “And ye shall divide the land by inheritance among your families; and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance.”
The Complete Jewish Bible translates it clearly: “You are to give more land to the larger families and less to the smaller ones.”
The humanistic mindset of our society thinks that if we have too many children we will stay poor. We will be deprived of many things. But this Scripture promises that those who have more children will get more land! Those who have less will receive less.
God does not provide for children that we don’t yet have. He is a faithful God. He provides when a new baby comes along. Therefore, the more babies God gives you the more provision will come your way. It’s just the way it works.

Deuteronomy 28:4–13 tells us that the first blessing God gives is the fruit of the womb. But when He gives the fruit of the womb, He adds many more blessings to enable you to provide for the fruit of the womb.
You don’t get the provision first; you get the baby first.
And then comes the blessing of provision!
Deuteronomy 28:4 (BS tells us: “The fruit of your womb will blessed, AS WELL as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.” Look it up and keep reading up until verse 13 to read all the rest of the blessings.
I know some big families live in small homes, but it may not be forever. God will enlarge you as your family enlarges.
God’s ways are the best ways.

WHY ARE WE DEPOPULATING?
The birthrates of the world are lowering each year. It takes 2.1 children per family to sustain a population, more to increase. And yet The World Population Review states that the USA, UK, and Australia are now down to 1.7! Canada is 1.5! When a nation gets down to 1.6 it is impossible for them to recover and that nation will eventually die out.
I wonder why we are shooting ourselves in the feet. The increase of a nation is the blessing of God. Decrease is curse. A growing population is necessary for a successful economy. The Bible links these factors together in Isaiah 29:22, 23 (TL: “My people will no longer be ashamed. For when they see the surging birth rate and the expanding economy, then they will fear and rejoice in my name.”
God is glorified with an increasing birthrate in the nation. Isaiah 26:15 says: “Thou hast increased the nation O Lord, Thou hast increased the nation . . . Thou art GLORFIED.”
We are living in a culture that is opposite to the Bible and the kingdom of God. Our culture imbibes contraception, sterilization, and abortion as a normal part of life. Limiting families to two is normal. The sad part about this is that so many “Christian” families have also imbibed this lifestyle.
They even believe the lies about population explosion. God is not in the slightest worried about such a thing. Isaiah 45:18 says: “For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be INHABITED; I am the Lord and there is none else.”
Agenda 21, a United Nations program to depopulate 95 percent of the world by 2030. Does that sound ridiculous? Unfortunately, it is a documented plan. All these things are masterminded by the devil, our enemy, who hates life. While God is the author of life, loves life, gives life, and wants us to always choose life, the devil seeks to eliminate life in every way he can.
Let’s be encouraged, dear folks, to make sure we are on the side of God and that we belong to His kingdom. If we side against life, we promote the devil’s kingdom.
