IS IVF A MEDICAL MIRACLE?
There is something an Instagram celebrity wrote about infertility issues, something about the majority of people going through IVF and calling out the name of God, in my opinion i think if you have faith that God can work through the doctors, that should be your first port of call. NOW THIS BRINGS MY QUESTION : IS IVF A MEDICAL MIRACLE? I asked a friend she said thus :so giving birth through CS( caesarean section) is a medical miracle? Her reply was more of a rhetorical question! But she concluded that if God has given them the wisdom to do it, shouldn't all Glory be returned to him? I had to chip in and said no one is saying that all glory shouldn't be bestowed onto God, But they should let other childless couples know the extent to which they received such miracles, Rather than making them believe they can wait upon the Lord till they reach menopause! I see people go on the alter and begin to testify how after so many years of childlessness, God failed all medical diagnosis but they won't tell the exact truth the way "God did it" but deep down you won't know how God used Medics to "correct the medical diagnosis" that made her whole.
The point is sometimes when people receive a medical report, they go through denial and other emotions, What i can relate is medicine and science are both miracles from God, if God didn't give wisdom neither of them would be useful. Also the same friend told me that they can only tell people close to them the exact truth. I quite disagree, majority of them don't disclose this even to the so called people that are closed to them, most times they were left guessing the source of such miracles.
I attended a dedication few weeks back of a couple that received their own miracle after 17 years of childlessness. I was stunned when the lady came to give her testimony that they tried all they could,some doctors, spiritual daddies and mummies even gave up on their case but here they are with their triplets because God didn't give up on them. she would have gone straight to the point to advise any couple seeking for such miracle to quickly try IVF if they have the resources for it. Her testimony was merely deceiving that childless couple that is waiting upon
the Lord to continue waiting.
It's even wicked not to share the story but show off the children . It's misleading not to inform women who are wearing same shoes. Childlessness is something no one should even wish upon her worst enemy , so please let people know how you had your triplets after 20years.
I know this post will seem quite controversial, give honour to whom honour is due just the way the bible said give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser and to God what belongs to God!
Ps : i believe in God.
Do mind to comment, upvote and resteem.Share with me what you think if IVF is a medical miracle or God's own miracle !
I would rather say it's God's inspired medical miraclee
Indeed it is

I really appreciate your thoughts on this issue, @eurogee.
Kind regards, @maryfavour for @redfishpillar .
Thank you for the upvote, i appreciate @redfishpillar.
You are most welcome, @sweetestglo-eu. The issue of IVF as a medical miracle was well presented, in my opinion. Very many people are not sincere about how their miracle babies came about. With the percentage of childless couples increasing by the day, unfortunately, it's good that those who have received miracle babies, be they through spiritual or medical means (assisted pregnancy), tell those who are facing same challenges how they succeeded.

@maryfavour upvoted and commented on my post.. What a way to start my day, i truly appreciate ma'am and that for the compliment... As for the contest i saw it, i am a shy person who isn't good at videos, but i can only try with the Audio part....
Thanks Mr Euro.. 😄
This issue to me is not controversial, IVF have saved so many marriages from collapsing and should be encouraged.
Thanks for seeing it from my own point of view...
Your article isn't controversal, its contradicting. Infact
it is so contradicting thatI am to unable to tell exactly what you are trying to convey or is it that you are bringing across two related messagesin addition to a contradicting one which is also related to the two others messages you are trying to bring across. You've basically mixed oil and water together along with some other insoluble solid which is partially soluble in either liquids.<\del
My only guess is that you are trying hard to mask your stance on the subject in other to not be judged by religious people being religious yourself while thinking logically. I know, in a way it doesn't make sense.So lets separate the two:
Medical miracle: Medical breakthrough from hard work of research independent of God's direcy intervention.
Miracle From God: God's direct intervention in any said event, almost without explanation and seemly unbelievable. Example: Jesus being conceived in Mary's womb. (No man involved).
I'll give Cesar what belongs to Cesar. Invitro-Fertilisation took years of research and scientific advancement. It just a wasn't just a wave of hands and poof.☄ . The ones who dedicated their time, effort and sacrifice to make this a reality deserve the full credit. This isn't an opinion but a fact.
No room for arguments there.Men were not given knowledge, they seeked it.I'd like you to read again, i wasn't imposing on anything or making my point look hard to understand, give honour to whom honour is due, if God used the doctors to make her whole, why not tell the congregation as how God used certain doctors to prove satan wrong! This isn't contradicting in anyway.
I didn't read it again as i've read it over several times and your article still isn't so clear or it sends more than one message relatable but opposing.
Don't mind my assumptions, I said "maybe". I tend to overthink things most of the time. All can be wrong. So with your confirmation, i'll slightly amend tht comment above .
Your article is interesting as it brings light to something I never wondered about or thought could happen. Many times i've witnessed couples who claim to go years without having a child and after some long years of praying God finally answered their prayers. I've always thought of it as they claimed ; "a miracle from God!". If some couples seek help and did undergo invitro-fertilisation, I don't think it qualifies as a "Miracle from God", which I believe is what you are trying to say-because i'm sure they prayed genuinely and God could have maraculously blessed them with a child. However it possible that God may have intervened in one way or another--->Either He gave the medical researchers, medical professional and all who contributed some sort of knowledge or idea to make IVF a reality; therefore God himself deserves some credit should thar be the case. That too I got from your writting. But then in the end you asked whether it is a "Medical Miracle" or a "Miracle from God" ; meaning one or the other but not both. For that reason, in my opinion and to be clear, I defined them in my own terms to ensure it is either one or the other. And then I proceeded to give my opinion in which I stated IVF as strictly a medical breakthrough due to years of Medical research making it totally independent of any Godly intervention or "Miracle".
I believe a Miracle to be something out of this world without any sort of scientific explantion. Example Jesus turning water into wine or making a blind man see or by bringing the dead back to life by just saying "wake up" etc etc. I am open to accept that I may be wrong.
The other message I got from your article ---> Couples who have undergone IVF should make it clear that it was through a Medicale procedure, that they were able to conceive a child and not by any direct miraculous intervention from God as it sends the wrong message to couples undergoing the same problem. Had they been transparent and honest, others couples would have gone straight to seek medical help instead of just tirelessly praying for a "Miracle from God".
Hope I got it right this time.

Now you understand my point of view, lol you're a good critic, thanks for stopping by.
All miracles are of God including IVF. Nice post @sweetest glo.
Thanks a lot...
Ignorance is bliss Contemporary medical and biological sciences suggest that except in very rare cases, women on this route do not have to wait that long to have children. It's high time Nigerian women started to discharge themselves
from healing/miracle pastors so they could seek treatments in ivf clinics. And when such babies finally arrive, please let the world know science because God works in mysterious ways, fertility treatment and interventions have been discovered for a reason.
@chidiebere i total agree with you..... But believing in a supernatural being gives the strenght we lack..... Nice and lovely post @sweetestglo-eu. I always know i will find somthing awesome when i visit your blog
@steve1122 thank you so much, i always look down on my post, i always beat myself hard, thinking maybe i am not meeting the standards here, i think that is where i am having this "low self esteem " issues, lol i will start believing in myself the more, i appreciate you stopping by... 😊😆
Thank you dear, exactly knowledge is power, thanks for stopping by
Agree somewhat. I've low v
Thank you dear...
It's God own way of miracle
Okay dear
God uses different instruments to perfect his will. medication is not ungodly. However, when that which beyond human comprehension happens, When The supernatural meets the natural in this case, miracles occurs. Voodoo means is completely ungodly. Cheers
I don't understand your point tho... 😀 thanks for stopping by.
My dear to my own test and understanding i believed that ivf is Gods doing, if i may ask.. the Knowledge of a man,is it from God? I believed that all power belong to him only, and it's high time to enlight our people about this great opportunity especially marriage ones becouse we have over 30% of them who have never had about ivf and still suferring the same problem of childless in their various families.
Thanks.
If you say so... 😄 thanks for stopping by..
theres nothing that happens above and beneath the earth that God dosent know about, God created man and blessed them with diverse knowledge to perform greater things than he did. so without the power of God man is nothing. Thus, I will say its God own miracle, man is just fullfiling the scripture, so that God's name will be glorified.
Okay, thanks for sharing dear.
