INTRODUCTION:
Have you ever partaken in a
race? THE KEY POINT IS THE CONDITION YOU ARE IN AT THE START. We read in the Bible that Paul said he had completed a race. What does this mean? He does not mean that we should win the race. What he does say is finish the race that you had decided to do. Do not stop and give up.
Push through TO THE END. Complete what you decided to do. If not, you have wasted time, effort and you have completed nothing. Do you agree?
Today is a day filled with sadness. The pain and sorrow is great. I have found that in South Africa there is a figure that is high but not at all great.
I hang my head in shame before my King.
These words are not written filled with judgment and hate, they are driven by tears as these actions have taken place in my own family. The results have also been seen.
Years ago i partook in a well know race in Johannesburg. About half way a pain developed in my right leg. But i finished the race with great pain. The motivation was “finish, don’t stop”. BUT I WAS STRONG AT THE START. I KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE.
1.THE PAIN.
On a wonderfull day a decision is made by a Mom and Dad to have a child! Not bad at all it falls under the will of GOD. But the next things that should be remembered are the beautifull words that Jesus said.” Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name.” He is the Father of all. He is also Father to the Fatherless. Then a few more references that need attention:
Psalm 71 vs 8:”Upon you i have leaned from before my birth;
you who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you” (ESV)
Psalm 22 vs 9-10:”Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mothers breasts.
On you i was cast from my birth and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.”
(ESV)
So let us ignore normal birth and look at Caesarian birth.
We look at the above-mentioned verses and add one more. (Totally ignored today)
Genesis 3 : 16 which reads as follows:
To the woman he said ” I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children.Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he will rule over you.”
Pain seems to be a big thing in this matter of child creation. Why? Because of our sin. All have sinned. But we have added sins in the lives of defenceless little ones. The ones of whom Jesus said “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
2. NOW THE SHOCK.
In South Africa Caesarian birth is a very popular.
According to W.H.O.the estimated figures for 2025 are as follows:
In private facilities between 70 to 90%.
In public facilities between 28 to 32%.The global average is 21%.The highest risk level is maternal haemorrhage.
3. SOME REASONS FOR CAESARIAN BIRTH. ( CALLED C SECTION)
This list is far from complete but reflects child abuse clearly.
A. SOME OF LITTLE ONES PROBLEMS which lead to Caesarian birth:
Breech position or transverse.
Abnormal heart or oxygen loss.
Too small or too large for pelvis.
Multiple births by mother.
Placenta over cervix.
Cord slipping through cervix before the child.
B. SOME OF MOTHERS PROBLEMS:
Heart diseases and high blood pressure.
HIV and Herpes.
Contractions weak.
C section leads to repartition.
Planned birth dates.
Over weight and above 35 years of age.
In private hospitals in South Africa doctors, almost without fail, offer the two birth options in a way that has increased Caesarian births.
4. COST OF BIRTHS.
Private hospitals ordinary births between R30000 and R85000 and C sections between R38000 and R135000.
Public hospitals ordinary and C section births between R50 to R200, with some exceptions.
5. SOME ADVERSE EFFECTS ON MOTHERS.
Blood clots, longer pain than virginal birth, longer time in hospital, infection, bleeding risks, vomiting and breast feeding challenges. These are but a few possible results on Mom after C Section In the longer term the following may occur; uterine rupture, placental issues, chronic pain, scars, hormonal shifts. Total recovery from C Section can take six to 12 months.
6. SOME BENEFITS OF C SECTION FOR MOTHERS.
Little pain, as mom is put to sleep during C section, no virginal issues, less depression less pressure on the womb.
7. POTENTIAL FUTURE RISKS FOR THE CHILD.
Cuts to the skin, delayed breast-feeding, asthma, obesity, as well as neck and back problems and breathing issues.
8. NOW FOR THE UNSEEN PROBLEMS FOR A CHILD WHO HAS HAD A “C SECTION” BIRTH.
This is an area that is not known or if know is ignored.
Most problems people have start before and during birth. Words like “child deliverance” are considered irrelevant and or evil. The Great Commission includes “setting captives free”
Now a few simple questions if you are a believer in Jesus Christ.
Who created us ? Who decided when we would be born and later die? Who determines the sex of a child?
The answer is GOD THE FATHER.
The two areas in South Africa where the highest number of C SECTIONS take place are in Gauteng and Western Cape. Western Cape being the highest.
The very first question is why do doctors in private hospitals offer two types of birth as a standard practice. The Prophet Isaiah, i believe answers this question. It is called excessive business practice. Just compare the costs. It can be understood when a Caesarian birth takes place due to an unknown problem or emergency that threatens the life of Mom and or Little One.
But in South Africa it is now normal? Ignore God. Who decides to have a CAESARIAN birth? Mom, Dad or both or the doctor or all three? Emergencies are not part of this question. If it is only Mom there is a larger problem than the endangerment of a child. What about the family? Are fathers playing their roles or not?
CAESARIAN BIRTHS LEAD TO THE FOLLOWING:
A. Sin by mother and father. Where does this lead to in the beloved childs life? This child needs to be set free from the results of it’s parents insulting God The Father.
B. Child trauma. The results thereof may never be seen.
C. Potential physical problems for moms and children.
D. A critical time in a new born child is directly after birth. The time Mom must express her love for her child as soo as possible, by hugging and feeding her little one. Connection with her child is critical. After C SECTION births there is a delay in the expression of parental love for their children. What a permanent mess.
E. Jesus said that we must share the Gospel and set captives free.
That must lead to child deliverance. Child deliverance in the Church is ignored. No thought is given to the results of parents separating children from God via C SECTION birth.
The time does come in the childs life when he or she is held accountable for their actions. I found that there is no such thing as child deliverance in the Church. Exceptions there are, but very few.
It is as if the Power and Authority of God is ignored totally. Jesus said clearly to the disciples that they should not hinder the children to come to Him. But what are Moms and Dads increasingly doing today?
More and more are ignoring Jesus Christ the King and leading children to eternal death from the time of their births.
Each day i see a child i feel pain in my heart for these little ones.
C SECTION births have slowly but surely crept into the lives of children today in South Africa simular to which was previously called “Child Sacrifices”. A great deal can be said about the results of C SECTION births none of which are positive for parents or their children.
