Yes, please spare that life, don’t kill that baby! I know
you may be wondering what I mean by that statement. What I am here to talk
about is against abortion. I know that someone may be asking why it is my
business to talk about it. I feel you about that because two year ago I thought
the same thing too. If you told me that abortion was wrong (despite being a
Christian), I would give you a look to suggest that that was not in the list of
my topic for discussion. But things have changed and I thank God that he gave me
a clear revelation and today I have made it my great concern, my business. I
know you may wonder why I changed my opinion about it and made it my concern so
I will give you my reasons. I hope you too will make it your business to speak
against it.
Getting pregnant is
not easy
Please, don’t give me that look, what I am saying is very
true. I know that this sounds like a joke to you but it is very true. Maybe you
have heard of stories or even witnessed teenagers getting pregnant. Or maybe
you got pregnant the first time you had sexual intercourse with a man (I know
it sounds gross but lets be real). You are blessed and you need to give thanks.
People out there are trying to have babies but they can’t conceive. Some are having miscarriages, others have blocked fallopian tube, others can't produce viable sperms and so many other reasons. They are
crying and praying everyday for a miracle to happen to them. Others are even
cheating on their spouses as they try to conceive imagining that maybe their
spouses are impotent while husbands are fathering children with other women once
they realize that their wives can’t conceive. And for the God fearing once,
adoption has provided a suitable solution for them. So instead of abortion, you
can think about giving birth and raising you child. It will save you the pain
of later finding out that you may not have been able to conceive again.
Babies are not an
inconvenience; they bring more joy than pain
I know this may not make sense to that form three pregnant
girl who is still under their parents’ authority or to that first year girl who just
go pregnant after one night out with a man and right now she looks at herself
and thinks that if she gives birth it will waste her education. It may also not
make sense to that young lady who just got a job and is starting to make her
life but just go pregnant after sleeping with a man and she thinks that a baby
will disorganize her plans. Yes, it is true, you plans will be disorganized and
you may even face rejection. You may be forced to drop out of school and have
to reorganize your life. It is ok but I will assure you that the joy of keeping
and seeing that baby grow is greater than the ‘fulfillment’ of aborting it.
I have friends who decided not to abort their babies when they got pregnant when we were in campus and today they are so thankful they kept the babies because they are great blessing and joy to them.I have seen fathers who had rejected the mother of their
babies when they got them pregnant reunite with them once the babies are born. I
have seen broken families reunite because of the birth of a baby. I have seen
babies transform the lives of parents in many ways. Babies bring joy so please
keep her. You will experience all the joy when the baby is born.
It is a sin because
it is murder
Don’t get me wrong, I am not here to condemn those who have
had abortions. If did have one or even more but you repented then you are
forgiven. The bible says that he who Christ sets free is free indeed so just
let go and forgive yourself, please don’t go back there. I am also not here to
cause people to attack those who have had the abortions and condemn them. Remember that both
murderers, liars, haters etc are all in the same category. All sin is sin to God. However,
I am here to speak to you who is about to get rid of that baby. God desires
that we live holy lives. You may have fornicated or committed adultery, but
remember that two wrongs do not make a right. Do not add murder to the sexual
sin. Just repent and then ask God to help you keep and raise that baby. She or
he has a great purpose so spare that life and that purpose.
Maybe you don’t care about joy or the fact that it’s a sin
to abort or that people are pray to have babies and have gone even for
adoption, but please imagine how it would be if your mum had decided to abort you. For the
sake of her/his future, spare that life. It may not have been planned by you
but it is never a mistake.
God bless you!
