Mothers Impacting Generations (Exodus 2:1-10)

Scripture: Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 6:20, Hebrews 11:23-29, Proverbs 22:6, Acts 5:29

• Jochebed’s Faith and Vision:
   
  • Jochebed, Moses’ mother, defied Pharaoh’s decree to kill male Hebrew babies, trusting God’s plan (Exodus 2:1-10, Acts 5:29).
•  
  • Her obedience and closeness to God preserved Moses, the future deliverer of Israel, impacting generations for God’s glory.
•  
• Identity in God:
   
  • As a Levite, Jochebed was dedicated to God, instilling a godly identity in Moses (Hebrews 11:24).
•  
  • Parents must pass down true identity in Christ (John 1:12), not worldly or traumatic legacies.
•  
• Divine Strategy:
   
  • Jochebed followed God’s unconventional plan, hiding Moses and placing him in the Nile despite dangers (Exodus 2:3).
•  
  • Parents should seek God’s higher strategies (Isaiah 55:8, 1 Corinthians 2:16) rather than worldly logic.
•  
• Great Faith:
   
  • Jochebed’s faith is celebrated in Hebrews 11:23, as she trusted God over Pharaoh’s threats.
•  
  • Parents are called to trust God fully (Proverbs 3:5-6), even in risky or uncertain situations.
•  
• Vision for the Future:
   
  • Jochebed saw beyond immediate threats, envisioning Moses’ role in God’s plan.
•  
  • Parents must raise children with a long-term vision for godly impact, exposing them to worship, prayer, and ministry.
•  
• Guarding Against the Enemy:
   
  • The enemy targets children early (e.g., Pharaoh’s decree, Herod’s slaughter, modern challenges).
•  
  • Like Jochebed and David guarding his sheep, parents must protect and train children in God’s ways (Proverbs 22:6).
•  
• True Success:
   
  • Success is not worldly achievements but raising children who love and live for God (1 Peter 4:2).
•  
  • Parents should expose children to God’s presence, fostering a lifelong pursuit of His glory.
•  
• Call to Action:
   
  • Parents, spiritual parents, we pray for divine wisdom, strategy, and strength to raise godly children.
•  
  • Seek Heaven’s strategy...
