Numerical Expositions: Gen 4:1

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

- Genesis 4:1 (KJV)

In this verse, Adam and Eve had their first son whose name was Cain.  This birth fulfilled the first command God gave to mankind, "Be fruitful and multiply."  Obedience to this command produced the desired result of a child.  The name that was designated to the child was Cain.  The name Cain means "acquired" in Hebrew.  The birth of Cain was a new acquisition to the family.

Notice that in the first that the name given to Cain had a specific meaning.  When you have a child, you must give your child a name that has meaning because that name is the designation over the child.  If the child's name does not have any meaning, then the child will not have any meaning on this Earth. 

Although Adam and Eve committed the original sin that was documented in Genesis Chapter 3, they received the reward of the child after recommitting themselves to God.  Another example in Scripture is in I Samuel Chapter 1 with Hannah.  After Hannah recommitted herself with a vow to God, then she was able to have children.  For those couples who are pursuing to have a child, focus on how you can recommit yourself to God.  That new fire will bring about the result that you are desiring.

Numerical Breakdown:  (4) To gain earthly perfection, choose to have good relations with your spouse.  (1) Stay in the anointing in order to conceive.  (5) Stay in God's presence in order to conceive.
