Topic: Thank God She Didn’t: | |
---|---|
She was a white, seventeen-year-old
concert pianist. She was an occasional drug addict who got pregnant by a black man. Big mistake. Her Caucasian parents were resolute in their decision: abortion was the only option. Abort the illegitimate mistake and move on with your life. She couldn’t stand her parents’ pressure and had to leave home. Eight months into the pregnancy, she broke up with the father of her baby. She was rejected and dejected. Somehow, in her nomadic escapade, God used an unknown lady to encourage her and tell her that she made the right decision in choosing to keep the baby. That baby who was very nearly aborted was Israel Houghton. For those who don’t know him, he popularised the song “You Are Alpha and Omega.” He is a Grammy Award winner in the gospel category for his work “Love God, Love People” and others. At the age of seven, when he met his Caucasian grandfather for the first time and wanted to play at his lap like other kids in the family, he pushed him down, and he landed on his back. How sad. Today, through his music, Israel Houghton has brought hope to millions of people across the world who are or were in a similar situation as he was, those whom the devil tries to convince that they are mistakes. If you have ever listened to him, you will now understand why Israel Houghton loves this verse of the Bible so much, Psalm 139:14, which says, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Satan will never change. He tried unsuccessfully to kill Moses and Jesus. Today, through abortion, he plots the termination of innocent children that could become instruments in the hands of God for the propagation of the gospel. It behoves you and I to keep reminding the world that life starts at conception, and any form of abortion is murder. It’s also our responsibility to keep reminding the world that nothing surprises God! Predestination is at work in the lives of His children. All things will continue to work together for our good to the glory of His holy name. Amen. |

Oh yes, the rejected stone!
It is a biblical principle. Thank God for the life of Isreal Houghton. When I joined the Leviticus Gospel Choir of Timothy L. Riley (NewYork) her in Hamburg, I felt home. On that very first day, the 4th April 2008 Timothy was teaching Alpa & Omega. It touches me so deeply and tears were running. I said, this is my choir until the end of life. Next morning I woke up, from a loud voice, stopped in the middle of a dream. Haha, I heard myself singing loudly while dreaming, singing, We worship You, hallelujah, hallelujah .... All of his songs are worship, they bring me nearer to God. Even the new song Healer. Thats Worship. Thank God for bringing this man to life! He is a blessing. Thank you for the good teaching Sir! Be blessed |

When i am a freshman in college i have 2 dormmates who got pregnant. And it came to their mind to abort their babies. Before i knew they were pregnant, i had this strange dream about a boy roughly 2 years old. He hugged me and told me fervently to nor leave him. Then i told him i'll take care of him. It was in a couple of days, i know they're pregnant. I tried to convince them the good things that may come if they keep the baby. And i prayed to God everyday then to spare those lives. God really answers prayers because those babies were 3 years old now. And guess what they were both boys! One of my dormmates even asked me to become the godmother of her son! Since i am still 15 back then it did not materialized, because there's this age requirement. But i would love to if its possible.

awesome stories,,,
keeping in mind, it doesn't stop at creation, and plenty of women have probably been talked out of abortion who still raised a killer or a bigot or a thief or a terrorist,,,,, but I do absolutely believe in the value of human life starting in the womb,, I started out in the tube and the doctors wanted to abort,, |
