INTRODUCTION:
Pregnancy is a miraculous journey ordained by God. From conception to birth, each step is a testimony of His divine handiwork. This service focuses on encouraging expecting mothers to embrace the miracle of life with faith, gratitude, and hope, trusting God to perfect all that concerns them and their unborn children.

1. THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF LIFE

a) God as the Creator of life
Every life begins with God, who forms each child in the womb (Psalm 139:13).

b) God’s knowledge of the unborn
He knows each child before they are born (Jeremiah 1:5).

c) The uniqueness of every child
Every baby is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

d) God’s purpose for the child
Each child is born with a purpose and destiny.

Biblical Example: Isaac’s birth (Genesis 21:1-3)
God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah highlights His role in the miracle of life.

2. THE ROLE OF FAITH DURING PREGNANCY

a) Trusting God for a safe journey
Faith in God’s protection is essential (Isaiah 41:10).

b) Overcoming fear and anxiety
God’s peace guards the hearts of expecting mothers (Philippians 4:6-7).

c) Speaking life over the unborn child
Declare God’s promises over the child’s life (Proverbs 18:21).

d) Praying consistently for the child
Commit the pregnancy and child to God in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Biblical Example: Elizabeth’s faith (Luke 1:41-45)
Her joy and faith confirmed God’s blessings over her pregnancy.

3. THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH

a) God’s presence during delivery
God promises to be with His children in every situation (Psalm 46:1).

b) Strength for the journey
God grants strength to bring forth (Isaiah 66:9).

c) Safe delivery as a covenant right
Exodus 23:26 assures us of God’s plan for safe delivery.

d) Rejoicing at the birth of a child
The birth of a child brings joy and fulfils God’s promises (John 16:21).

Biblical Example: The birth of Jesus (Luke 2:6-7)
His birth was a fulfilment of God’s greatest promise.
