As we start in Exodus we see that back then it is just same demons different days. Story begins with Pharaoh being obsessed with power and becomes threatened by the numbers of the Israelites in Egypt. His solution is to kill all of the Hebrew boy babies and to kill any Hebrew males that they could. Now slow down and before we think this is crazy let’s look at what is going on today. More men, now more than ever before are sexually confused, abortion rates are sky high, and the most expensive life choice for couples is to have children. For most families it is nearly impossible for them to make it if they have too many children. Also, there is more child trafficking and child sexual abuse than ever before. It is becoming more and more socially acceptable to attack the innocence and vulnerability of children. We also look at the Muslim society and they are literally trying to out populate the world. Sound familiar? It is all the same sins just different tactics. The objective has always been the same. If Satan can get to the man he can affect that man’s whole bloodline. I can’t emphasize how crucial and powerful it is for men to be the head of the home that we were called to be. The highest calling for us is to be fruitful, multiply, and lead our families to Jesus. It has a ripple effect that could change the whole bloodline of your family for generations and generations. How we live our lives doesn’t just affect us, but it affects our children, our great grandchildren, our great great grandchildren, and so on. The father and husband choosing to put his faith in Jesus and turning himself, his wife, and all of his children to Jesus is the biggest mission and responsibility of men. If Satan can get ahold of the man he can affect his children. We are at war with every decision we make and every path we choose to take. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for fathers and husbands to embrace this God given mission we have been blessed with to lead our families to Jesus. It is the most important mission we could ever embrace in this life. Make sure your wife and your children see you genuinely loving and giving yourself to Jesus daily. Make sure your family knows that you walk with God every day and not Just on Sundays. The family will always go where the man is leading them. Love y’all! Have a great day!
Exodus 1:1-22
Read scripture…
“These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each came with his family: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher. The total number of Jacob’s descendants was seventy; , Joseph was already in Egypt. Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation eventually died. But the Israelites were fruitful, increased rapidly, multiplied, and became extremely numerous so that the land was filled with them. A new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. He said to his people, “Look, the Israelite people are more numerous and powerful than we are. Come, let’s deal shrewdly with them; otherwise they will multiply further, and when war breaks out, they will join our enemies, fight against us, and leave the country.” So the Egyptians assigned taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor. They built Pithom and Rameses as supply cities for Pharaoh. But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. They worked the Israelites ruthlessly and made their lives bitter with difficult labor in brick and mortar and in all kinds of fieldwork. They ruthlessly imposed all this work on them. The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives — the first, whose name was Shiphrah, and the second, whose name was Puah — “When you help the Hebrew women give birth, observe them as they deliver. If the child is a son, kill him, but if it’s a daughter, she may live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live. So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live? ” The midwives said to Pharaoh, “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them.” So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very numerous. Since the midwives feared God, he gave them families. Pharaoh then commanded all his people, “You must throw every son born to the Hebrews into the Nile, but let every daughter live.”
