Topic: Cooperating with God for Blessings.
Text: Exodus 1
Key text: Exodus 1: 21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Discussion: as we come into a new month, we are starting with the book of Exodus, and this month God will bring you out of every land of bondage in Jesus name.
This morning our passage opens with Origin of the bondage of the Israelites, how there arose a king that knew not Joseph, and because he knew not what Joseph had done for Egypt he made the Israelites slaves.
Two lessons will be drawn from that:
(1)Israel came into a strange land and the comfort of the strange land made them to forget the promised land, dear reader, have you allowed the comfort and blessings of God to make you forget God? God is reminding us that there is a promised land, the Heaven prepared for us.
(2) Pharaoh had fear, that made him to fight against God's Chosen people, but God defended his children, this year, the Lord will defend you.
Also this morning we are looking at the midwives whom the king of Egypt gave commandment to kill all male child at birth, the Bible recorded that they feared God, the fear of God made them not to kill those children.
Unlike many Christian today, they will claim that they fear God, yet, they disobey the will of God for their selfish gains, but this was not the case with this Hebrew midwives they fear God, and that made God to really bless, them.
As we come into this month, God is telling us that the key to success, promotions, and all desired blessings is the fear of God, and this fear of God is to depart from sin.
Challenge: Do you really fear God? Obey him, and depart from sin
Prayer: Put your fear in me that I may please You
