SCRIPTURE READING: EXODUS 1: 15-21
FOCUS: “And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:” (Exodus 1: 15)
MEMORY VERSE: “The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” (Proverbs 12: 24)
Our Focal Scripture speaks of that moment when Pharaoh reached out to the Hebrew midwives. This was a period when Israel was still in bondage in Egypt. Some Hebrew midwives were outstanding to the point of gaining the king’s attention. They had so much capacity that the king sought them out. They were so good that the king needed to negotiate with them in order to achieve his goal. They gained the attention of the king.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: kings are coming to your rising. Kings are coming to the brightness that God has planted in you. Your capacity will attract the attention of kings. You will be relevant to kings and nobles. You have the oil that causes thrones and crowns to bow. You have the oil that causes thrones and crowns to come calling. You are the one your generation is counting on. You are the one the kings are looking for.
How could a king like Pharaoh be so interested in the Hebrew midwives that took delivery of Hebrew children? What manner of midwives were they that the king would negotiate with them? Be so good in your craft that kings will come naturally to seek for you. Be so competent that kings will need you. Be so useful that you cannot be ignored. Be so empowered that men who matter will gravitate towards you.
You do the kingdom of God no favours when you play the below standards. You do the kingdom of God no favours when you play as a mediocre. You are not ready for relevance if you are still on the same level as those who are still insignificant. You are not ready for the big release if you are playing on a level where everyone is playing. Distinction comes when you leave mediocrity and choose excellence. Distinction lies in excellence.
I pray for you: kings are coming to your rising; but when they come, make sure you have capacity to keep them.
