God said we are to be fruitful and multiply, and nowhere did he take that command away. I was reminded of that recently when my daughter Chandrda and her husband Jeramiah received their third blessing into the world. Corban Peter Townsend was sent by God as a blessing into all our lives. That's a message that isn't heard very often in our world today ... that children are a blessing from the Lord.
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Genesis 24:60 where Rebekah is being blessed by her sisters as she heads off to be married to Isaac. Remember the blessing they gave her? They said: "Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies." God did tie the command to be fruitful and multiply to the general dominion mandate. Let the unbelievers have 1.8 children each, let the children of God increase to thousands upon thousands and fill the gates of our land! God has a plan ... are we listening?
