SCRIPTURE READING: EXODUS 1: 15-21

FOCUS: “18. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 19. And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.” (Exodus 1: 18-19)

MEMORY VERSE: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2: 20)

In our Focal Scripture, the Hebrew midwives told Pharaoh that the Hebrew women were not like the Egyptian women. Pharaoh wanted to have them kill the male children that were birthed by the Hebrew women, but they explained that the Hebrew women were simply not like the Egyptian women. There was something different about the Hebrew women that made it difficult to kill the babies they were bringing forth.

Friend, let me remind you that you are not like other people. You are not like those whom negativity can catch up with. You are not like those who will have bad news meet them at their doorstep. You are not like those whose results can be delayed. You are not like those whose fortunes can dip suddenly. You are not like those whose doors can be locked at will. You are not like those whose miracles and testimonies can be hijacked.

Pharaoh came with an evil agenda to hurt the male children of the Hebrew women, but the Hebrew midwives were quick to inform him that these were not the same as Egyptian women. They informed him that these Hebrew women were different. Go and announce to the Pharaoh’s of this world, that you are different, and your case is different. The negativity that thrives in others cannot thrive in your life. You are not like them.

You are not part of that generation that can be easily undermined. You are not of that generation whose seed will die before their time. You are not of that group that gains and loses. You are not of the group that rises and falls. You are not of the group that makes efforts and ends up empty handed. You are not of the group that suffers loss in the time of gain. You are not of the group that can be undermined freely by the systems of hell.

You are different, and your case is different. You are not like those that the enemy can take advantage of. You are not like the victims of the works of darkness. You come from royalty; you belong to heaven’s dynasty.
