‘My words of comfort to you, like myself, who have conceived and experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths and evacuations of babies, who died in our wombs and, as a result, have no children to show for the pain we have endured, is that you are not barren’, she stated.
‘I dare to call you fruitful. You and I are potential and proud mothers of children that will come in God’s time. Enjoy the life God has given you. Take your mind off your challenge, and before you know it, children will start coming’, she added.
Penpushing also reports that Obaseki pointed out that her contributions to society had gone beyond the biological aspect of motherhood, emphasizing that being fruitful is not limited to childbearing, but it is about impacting lives and creating positive change in society.
“Being fruitful is not limited to childbearing. It is about impacting lives and creating positive change in society. There is no point in feeling bad. Women can fulfill God’s purpose in many ways beyond motherhood,” she added.
