Excerpt XIX from Moral Goodness In Our Life-time, By Pastor Ajayi James B. C. continues in chapter 2

I was living off campus and rented a room-apartment next to a pregnant lady’s. I often heard the lady saying things like, “Good morning David, be a good boy today and always! You are going to be a successful medical doctor. You must study hard, but remember to study your Bible regularly and….” At first l thought she had a teenage boy with her, but l had not seen anybody living with her since l became her neighbour. We often exchanged greetings whenever we met at the house verandah. Weeks later, l met her as she was about to go out. After exchanging the usual pleasantries, l asked how David was doing and added that l was yet to meet him. The lady smiled broadly, and pointed to her stomach. Then she said, “David is still busy kicking me like a ball.”

 

Research by scientists has already proved that a baby acquires some pre-natal cognitive experience of sound which he can identify later in life. Therefore, both the peaceful atmosphere and the tumultuous environment of the home is fully registered in the mini-memory of the unborn baby. The expecting mother should be very careful not to plant weeds of evil in the heart of the innocent offspring. (To be continued in Excerpt Twenty.)
