SCRIPTURE READING: EXODUS 1: 15-21
FOCUS: “And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.” (Exodus 1: 16)
MEMORY VERSE: “For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?” (Isaiah 14: 27)
The proposal of Pharaoh to the Hebrew midwives was that if any of the Hebrew women came for their services, they should kill the male new born babies. That meant that people would come all the way to the place of birth, push out their baby, and go home in tears because their baby had been killed. Coming to the place of birth means good news is waiting; Pharaoh wanted them to come to the place of good news but leave with bad news.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: you will not come to the place of good news and leave with bad news. You will not come to the place where your expectations are to be met, only for the enemy to prevail. You will not come to the environment of your congratulations, and leave empty-handed. You will not come to the place that should make you smile, and end up leaving in tears. You will not come to the place of birth, and leave a mourner.
Pharaoh’s plan was that the babies would be killed. It was not that they were to be born dead. They were to be born alive, but then, they would be killed. The plan was to see good news that was alive, and kill it. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every plan of the enemy to kill your good news, I decree, he will not prevail. Any plan of the enemy to squeeze life out of your good news, let fire answer. Your own good news will not die.
If God has given it to you, the enemy will not take it from you. If God has already made it happen for you, the enemy cannot undo it. No good news that has already come your way will be killed. No open door will be shut afterwards. No congratulations will turn to bitter tears. No elevation will lead to your destruction. No good news of life will end in death. No wicked hand will kill your good news. No attack of the enemy will waste your good news.
Welcome to that season where your good news will not be killed. Welcome to that season where your good news will not turn to bad news.
