May 2023 - Month of Shiphrah & Puah

From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Shiphrah & Puah, in Jesus name.  One day, Pharaoh ordered two Hebrew midwives to kill any and all the baby boys they delivered.   


Exodus 1: 15-17 – “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: 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. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive”  

The two God-fearing midwives heard him, but did not do as he has commanded. They not only defied him, but also got away with it! 

They were not like other midwives.  Brethren, you don’t have to go with the flow. You don’t have to do like others do. You can be different. 

Because others are doing something that you know to be wrong, ungodly and sinful. Be God-fearing and brave.  

Mercy Seatizens, welcome to the Month of May 2023, “Our Month of Shiphrah and Puah”. 

This month & beyond, may the Lord set us apart from the rest, distinguish us, differentiate us and single us out for His glory, in Jesus Name. 

Amen.
