BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 30, 2 Chronicles 31, 2 Chronicles 32, Luke 11, Luke 32.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Exodus 2:1-9 (KJV)
1 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.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Jochebed had unwavering faith in Yahweh, and she eventually saw Yahweh’s glory as her name implies. “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” It takes a high level of faith to defy the king’s commandment to protect the interest of God. From our Fire Scripture, Pharaoh had started seeing the nation of Israel as a threat and so, issued a decree that every son born by the Hebrew women were to be thrown into the Nile river. Jochebed already had two children without any hitch but when a deliverer of God’s people was to be born, the serpent raised up its ugly head against the seed of the woman. A wicked decree was signed, targeted against baby Moses. Thank God for a mother who, like the children of Issachar, understood the times and knew what she ought to do. I pray for you: may you know what to do in every situation of life, in Jesus’ name. May you not be clueless in the scheme of life, in the name of Jesus.
By faith in Yahweh, she defied the king’s decree and hid her son for three months. A lot of women would have accepted fate and threw their sons into the river. Some may even have aborted their pregnancies out of fear that it could eventually be a boy. But Jochebed dared to be different. She hid her son. She protected the heritage of Israel and defended the interest of God. She together with her husband were not afraid of the king’s unrighteous decree. They trusted God to protect their baby. The evil that happen to other babies need not happen to their own baby. I pray that God’s mark of exemption from evil shall rest upon our families, in Jesus’ name.
Beloved, the world is getting crazier and earthly powers are coming up with various unrighteous policies meant to destroy the faith of God’s children. A lot are happening out there. In times like these, we need to have strong faith in God. We must stand firm to obey God rather than man. I pray that our faith will not fail, in Jesus’ name.
