Infertility And Delayed Child Bearing
Gen. 30:1-4

Rachael was much loved by Jacob, but she had delay in child bearing. It was agonizing for her to watch her sister bear one child after another while she waited. In many cultural settings, any woman that has delay in child bearing is viewed with suspicion and sometimes treated with contempt. Unfortunately, instead of husbands of such women encouraging them, the husbands treat the wives as if they are at fault and are to be blamed for the predicament. Ironically, the problem may be from the man. This problem has caused friction in many homes. In African culture where children are expected immediately after wedding, parents-in-law are likely to begin to ask questions and trigger anxiety. Couples waiting for children need the encouragement the church can give. The church also should make every effort to counsel the couple and to pray fervently for them. God still performs miracles.



Point of Emphasis: It is only God who knows the cause of and the solution to delay in child bearing.

Prayer Point: Father, remember the families that are waiting for children, just like you remembered Hannah.



BACKGROUND

There are various challenges which couples experience. The irony of the matter is that these problems vary in nature and degree from one family to the other, but the truth of these situations is none of them can defy divine solution if approached in a godly way. Learn some of these challenges and the solutions in this week’s lesson.



NOTES ON THE TEXT

PART 1: FOUNDATION OF THE FAMILY (MATT. 7:24; 2 COR. 6:14-16)

While preparing to get married or preparing for the future of a family, there are several things couples do to ensure the family does not suffer – making enquiries about the family one wants to marry into, saving money for the raining day, purchasing necessary materials to meet the needs of the family, etc. These preparations are necessary and important. There is the most important foundation component that is often taken for granted or overlooked; the spiritual foundation. Those who go into marriage with unbelieving partners always believe their partners will change after marriage because of the love between them. This always proves to be a grievous mistake.

What are the challenges faced by families in which one spouse is an unbeliever or is not ready to obey God’s commands?

What are the challenges faced by families where each spouse feeds from different spiritual sources?

Families who stand the test of time are those in which the partners have surrendered their lives to God and are committed to obeying His commands.



PART 2: WITHSTANDING CHALLENGES (MATT. 7:25; 1 COR. 10:13)

Every family faces challenges at one time of the other. No family is spared - the rains will descend, the floods will come and the winds will blow. Either a family will keep standing through the storm or will collapse depending on the foundation. The storm one family faces differs from that of another family. It is not the severity of the storm that matters, it is how prepared the family is. Some families have faced the storm of premature death of loved ones, some have faced the loss of jobs or collapse of business; some have had to deal with poor health; some families have had to deal with a spouse’s infidelity; etc. Whatever challenges a family may be going through, that challenge is not peculiar to that family, other families are going through the same or have passed through that path before. The families that will stand through the challenges will be those who are sustained by divine grace.

Divine grace is made available for whoever asks for it. It is the will of God for every family to keep standing (Eph. 6:10-12). We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses (Heb.12:1) – those who have successfully weathered similar storms.

What are the various storms that Christian families face?

Why are some families able to successfully weather the storm while other families crumble?

Why does God, who is all-powerful and can prevent storms, allow such storms in the families of genuine Christians?



CONCLUSION

Challenges will come. Some are evitable, while others may not be. God’s grace is able to carry the Christian family through the storms of life. Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed (Heb. 12:12-13)



QUESTIONS

Why are the preparations embarked upon by intending couples important and necessary?

Why should the spiritual foundation of couple should be taken serious?

Who are the families to stand the test of time?

What is the most significant about the storm faced by different couples?

How should couple who are facing crisis apply Hebrew 12:12-13 to their situations?

Premature Death Of Spouse
Ruth 1:1-9

Premature death of spouse negates the purpose of marriage especially that of companionship. The spouse is left lonely without a companion to share life’s joy and sorrow with. The case of Naomi was a pathetic one; she lost both her husband and sons. If it is the husband who died prematurely, not only has the widow lost her companion, she is also exposed to abuse. In some cultural settings it is believed that the widow is culpable for the husband’s death. Coupled with the agony of losing a loved one and the loneliness is the challenge of coping economically without the spouse’s support. Premature death renders the children fatherless or motherless, which affects their normal development. They are denied the father-role or mother-role input. If the widow or widower is young, the problem of remarriage creates its own problems too, compounding the already difficult situation. Family going through this experience needs support from the church.



Point of Emphasis: Widows and widowers need committed support from the church to weather the storm of premature death.

Prayer Point: Father, we commit all widows and widowers around us to your care, that you may do all that you alone can do to help them.

Saying happy new month is far better than say saying happy independence

Loneliness In Marriage
Gen. 29:31-35

Though Leah was married, she did not enjoy the companionship which marriage ought to have accorded her. The husband did not love her, so she was a stranger in her marital home. When a couple fails to become one as they ought to, they may live together under the same roof but they experience loneliness in the home. One symptom of loneliness in marriage is one partner seeking comfort and companionship outside the marital home. The husband is likely to hang out with friends till late in the night, while the wife wants to attend every outing with her friends and relatives in order to be outside the marital home. The cause of loneliness in marriage can be refusal for the couple to trust each other, one party being overtly secretive about his or her life, refusal to take the wife as a companion, unbiblical cultural practice which relegates the wife to a necessary evil that should not be trusted. All these negate God’s plan for marriage.



Point of Emphasis: The two should both be naked, the man and his wife, and should not be ashamed.

Prayer Point: Father, grant each home such love that the members will not miss the joy of marriage.

Financial Hardship
2 Kgs. 4:1-6

The wife of the dead prophet faced two major challenges that could befall a family. One, the husband died prematurely, leaving her and her two young sons. She had to cope with the problem of loneliness due to her husband’s demise. Second, even before the husband’s death, the family was facing financial hardship which made the prophet borrow some money from creditors. Financial hardship can arise due to the family’s inability to generate enough funds to meet their basic needs. It can also arise due to poor financial management, in which case the family is spending far above the income. When income is grossly inadequate for basic needs, the family undergoes stress that robs them of the joy they could have. The family needs divine intervention and counsel on how to generate extra income. We need to know also that joy in the family is not a function of the material acquisition the family gathers.



Point of Emphasis: Families undergoing financial stress need divine intervention and counseling.

Prayer Point: Father, open the windows of heaven and attend to the needs of families that are going through financial difficulties right now.

Sorry for the late update.. I apologize for any inconvenience experienced

Health Problems
Jn. 5:1-9

The man at the pool had his infirmity for thirty-eight years. His family had deposited him at the side of the pool and left him there. It is likely that when the problem first started they put a lot of energy and resources to get him help. As the days ran into weeks, the weeks into months and the months into years, the patience grew thin, the funds ran dry and the care-givers grew weary. They left him to pursue other things. When health problem strikes a family, it puts a lot of stress on both the sick person and on those taking care of him or her. The sick person needs care, prayers and encouragement. Difficult as long-time care may be, the family should ask for the grace not to get fed up or become discouraged. Both the sick person and the care-givers need help and encouragement from the brethren. The greatest support however is prayers for the healing of the sick.



Point of Emphasis: Health problem is a drain on the family resources.

Prayer Point: Father, send divine healing to all of your children that are suffering from ill-health.
