MFM Topic, Sat 11 May 24: lessons from the life of Jochebed (1)

Welcome to MFM Devotional, 11 May 24

PRAISE & WORSHIP:

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2

My heart has no desire to stay.
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

4

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Chronicles 27, 2 Chronicles 28, 2 Chronicles 29; Luke 9, Luke 10

MEMORY VERSE: Galatians 6:16 – “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the list of lust of the flash.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
You can never go wrong with the Spirit of God, be sensitive to Him!

11 MAY PROPHETIC WORD:
Receive the grace to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Exodus 2:1-2

And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.

MAY 11 MESSAGE:

Today, we will begin to look at the life of another Bible character, Jochebed, whose life’s lessons have lots to teach us.

Jochabed was the daughter of Levi, the wife of Amram and the mother of the three glorious children that shook Egypt: Moses, Aaron and Miriam. The name Jochebed means God’s glory. What lessons can we learn from her?

Jochebed was sensitive to the Spirit of God. She, by the Spirit, saw something in her newbom son. She saw that he was a glorious child and not one to be thrown into the river of the Egyptian god. When others were throwing away their babies into the Nile river, she saw something different.

“And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months”. (Exodus 2:2), Right from the first day of birth, she saw in him a glorious child.

Mothers, what do you see in your children? Fathers, what do you see? Note that she didn’t just see what she saw by the physical eyesight. Flesh and blood didn’t reveal what she saw to her.

The things of the spirit cannot be perceived by mere eyesight. She saw by the spirit and she was sensitive to what the spirit said and revealed.

Probably, if she didn’t see, she too would have thrown her Moses away as many other mothers did that time. But she SAW.

How far can you see beloved? I pray that God will release the miracle of opened eyes on us all, in Jesus’ name. Parenting is not a task to be taken in the flesh. We need the Spirit of God to help us to know how to guide our children through life.

We dare not rely on our own head knowledge. We need to be sensitive to the Spirit of God and ask God for opened eyes.

What can you see, beloved? Your vision determines your actions and directions. A lot of people have thrown good people and good relationships in their lives away due to lack of discernment.

Some have missed those they should meet and met those they should miss. Some have got angry with their helpers and deliverers simply because they cannot SEE beyond the immediate.

May we not throw away our Moses for lack of sensitivity in name.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. My Father, open my eyes, in the name of Jesus.

2. Spirit of discernment, my life is available, fall upon me, in the name of Jesus.

3. As I go out today, I shall be at the right place at the right in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. I shall not meet those I should miss in the name of Jesus.

5. I shall not miss those I should meet, in the name of Jesus.

6. I shall not throw my Moses away, in the name of Jesus.

7. If I have missed my helpers, mercy of God, bring them back to me, in the name of Jesus.
