that come on this is the day the lord has made and we shall rejoice uh and be glad in it amen we're just so excited to celebrate number one god on this day and a year ago at this time around the world churches were struggling and challenged whether to go in church not go in church but that was a year ago and what a difference are they make come on let's just bless god for being in church one more time and to those who are watching virtually they are in church too and i i pray as if i am at saint james one of the things i always say though those who are watching virtually i pray that they have consecrated not just their time but their space as well so if you're at home you're watching virtually everything else outside of worship right now we can come back to it amen and so we just want to worship the lord and praise him for another opportunity to celebrate him in so many ways and kind but i don't know about you virtual is fine i just love being in the house of god amen but at home i love being in the presence of god and that makes a difference and so we just praise god on this day for all that the lord has done to continue to do secondly we celebrate the life and the love and the work and the diligence of your first lady amen sister talana amen we celebrate her on on today of god blessing her and using her in ways others just don't even know amen we praise god for her my brother my friend pastor louis nathaniel watson amen a friend and a friend and a friend indeed uh been opened up 20 something 22 22 years am i right 22 years amen um and so i just praise god for first baptist family you are my family and i'm just glad to have a family away from home amen and i praise god for you all every one of you to my first lady amen sister cynthia joanne atkinsley amen she's been a lead ever since she asked me to marry her and i said yeah amen and so we praise god for her as we celebrate life love amen next month two months will be 20 29 29 years amen so we praise god for uh for her as well being my first lady and we praise god for for you all to the leadership of this great church god bless you for your work and diligence as you serve god to meet the needs of god's people sometimes i know leaders are behind the scene and and it doesn't look like sometimes it look like the past if i could just say this it looked like the pastor is doing it all that's because the pastor has leaders amen who work along with him and side by side and encourage uplift and support him amen so we praise god for every leader in here we give you glory for every leader we do not we do not sleep on that we praise god uh for you um and praise god for you for your fellowship as well not going to be too long i just want to encourage my sister on today if we return to the story the book of exodus chapter 1. exodus chapter chapter one exodus chapter one and beginning at verse number 15. if you have it say amen and if you can't find it isn't it's in the old testament i would give you a page number but i don't know how many pages you have exodus one beginning verse 15. i'm going to read the niv translation the king of egypt said to the hebrew midwives whose names were shifra and the pure when you are helping the hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool if you see that the baby is a boy kill him but if it's a girl let her live the midwives however feared god and did not do what the king of egypt had told them to do they let the boys live then the king of egypt summoned the midwives and asked them why have you done this why have you let the boys live the midwives answered pharaoh hebrew women are not like egyptian women they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive god was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous and because the midwives feared god he gave them families of their own amen you may be seated i want to look at verse number 17 for a text the other reading that will serve as a as a context but for a text verse 17 the midwives however feared god and did not do what the king of egypt had told them to do they let the boys live the midwives however feared god and did not do what the king of egypt had told them to do i want to preach this morning from the subject i want to talk about desperate midwives desperate midwives my brothers and sisters as we celebrate on today the life of our first lady in love sister tulan i want to hopefully encourage her but i definitely as we celebrate the month we celebrate this day rather we are told many of great sisters women particularly african-american women better known as we call them the sisterhood we know about people who whose names catapulted them into light the works that they had done and how the recognition they got some of them did not get as much recognition but somehow their their names were put in lights we know them we love them we respect them we know about those such as maya angelou who was a great poet we read her writings her inspired writings and her poetry how she was a gift to the people and who read her poems you know about marian anderson famous singer we know about josephine baker who was a great entertainer before some of us were even born yet we celebrate the latest and newest sister we celebrate vice president kamala harris who serves as the vice president of these united states in some troubling times amen somebody but those are secular those of whom we probably have met known and read rough shoulders with but church let's kind of talk about those in the bible what about sisters in the bible we know about miriam who was a sister we know about miriam who broke out with her tambourine and a praise dance right after crossing the liquid impediment called the red sea we know her as miriam the prophetess we know about hannah the mother of samuel israel's last judge before their desire to have a king saul we know about vashta who was the wife of king aheris modest and refused to display herself before his friends we know about naomi and ruth their own kind they were survivors in their own right in a time of famine we know about those biblical biblical she-rose the church we cannot forget we have she-rose among us we cannot forget we have those among us who we are considered to be heroes we don't really have to look too far to find somebody who we can emulate somebody whom we can stamp our approval on somebody whom we can rub shoulders so we don't have to look too far our families are surrounded by shebo's but today we celebrate a shiro a sister a woman a wife a mother a friend somebody whom we know and can identify with who wear their own hat in their own style we celebrate somebody whom we can we can count on somebody we shall never forget somebody we can point at and said there is a woman of god right there if god were to rewrite another bible for another generation of people to read i believe i believe your first lady would fit right in there somewhere come on talk to me somebody now i know that this is a celebration of sisterhood and celebrate uh first lady but let me tell you i truly believe but today we want to talk about two women in the bible who who never who never did leave god they pledged their life to god they were women of god or they were or and they were god-fearing women whom god used and celebrated and continue to bless them we know them in our story we know them in this first chapter in the beginning of exodus it is a reminder of us that there were two women who were challenged by the pharaoh their their job or their attempt was or their words given to them for them were to stop the women the egyptian women from had or the hebrew women from having babies particularly boys they were challenged by pharaoh he called them two of them by the name of shipra and the pure they in this text they became what i call desperate midwives not to the point where their desperation was a desperate thing but for their desperation to please god they jeopardize their life they jeopardize themselves they jeopardize them family but they did it in the name of the lord and my brothers and sisters that's what we need in this day's society and i know we watched the show have seen the desperate housewives but but these sisters were not desperate housewives they were desperate midwives desperate to please god and to do right by him regardless of the consequences that was going to come they were reminded what i need you to do pharaohs i want you to kill every boy every boy i want you to remove him from the earth just get rid of him some way somehow you figure out your own cognitive ingenuity how you want to do it i just want it done you know how when the boss man give you a job they don't tell you how to do it cognitively you can figure it out and do it your own way he didn't tell them how he just told him what he wanted them to do but the sister somewhere along the line in conversation we don't read about because it is not real or bold but sometimes church you got to read in between the lines everything is not written in black and white some stuff amen you have to have revelation and figure it out yourself and i'm sure these sisters started talking and remembering and thinking about their charge can you believe what the pharaoh want us to do that's not our job that's not what we do we are hebrew women we love god we we know about we know about jesus holy we know about elohim the creator of this world we know about jehovah we know he is active in what he has created and plus we are fearful people of god we know what god can do we know what he has done and we are not them kind of people that is not the ethic that we practice as hebrew women and so therefore we're going to work something out because we cannot kill the boys and so therefore they did not kill the boys word gets back to pharaoh pharaoh finds out and calls them immediately in his office i want to know what in the world are you doing why aren't you doing what i asked you to do and look at what their reply was their reply was pharaoh as soon as we can get to the house they've already done had the babies you know these hebrew women they are not like egyptian women in other words he's letting them know these sisters are not like the typical sisters pharaoh that we've been dealing with these sisters are of a descent that they are strong and they got strong backs these are sisters who are of a descent they are not like they are eurocentric sisters come on talk to me but these sisters of afrocentric they are not like the others they are strong they are vibrant they they they are vigorous uh and so therefore pharaoh when we get there they've already done had the child now whether they were lying or whether they were telling the truth we don't know but one thing we do know that they were defiant to the point where they refused to take orders from the pharaoh and do something like this they so therefore pharaoh didn't say anything else and let them go but god moves in and god was pleased to lana with what these two sisters did the bible says that god told bless them and and rewarded them the bible says and the bible says that because they increased the children increased and became even more numerous the word says that god gave them families of their own that's what he did he he gave them families of their own they were they were desperate housewives desperate midwives brother and god gave them families of their own i questioned a question not why did god do that we know why he's uh he's in the blessing business we know why but but i questioned i questioned their faith in god and they did not put their faith in a man a couple of things one of y'all the first thing i couldn't help but notice is that remember that you have to have the charge rather you have to have you have the charge of taking sisterhood to a new level that's what the deal is uh uh uh god has given the uh the sister an opportunity to take sisterhood to a new level in other words real sisterhood talana begins with a fear of god yes that's where it begins first of all it begins with a fear of god the midwives however feared god and did not do what the king of egypt had told them to do the text says in verse 17 they let the boys live these sisters had a fear of god and real sisterhood and real real sisterhood begins right there and we live in a world in society and i challenge with the fear of god even is in the heart of a lot of folk now in days we have to live in the day and get back to the days of when people feared god many of you remember particularly old school mothers amen back in the day you know how they made they had a fear of god you don't believe me let it start thundering and lightning you'll find out how much fear they had in god they would tell you to come on in the house they would tell you shut those blinds and lay on the floor and my grandmother her carolina accent would tell you to hush your mouth and don't say that was a fear of god there were certain things they were not going to let you do certain things you could not participate in certain places you could not go and certain folk you could not be seen with because there was a fear of god sunday morning was church that's all it was it was just bottom line you were going to go to church you didn't you didn't have to ask amen they gave you the mothers back then that gave you your role for sunday school amen easter plays and christmas plays they didn't actually if you wanted to be in the play they slipped you a note and tell you take this to your mama next thing you know your mama taking you to my neighborhood taking you to war words we didn't have walmart and kmart and all of that took us to woodward from buying cloth what's that for mama you playing joseph what nobody asked nobody taught that's what they did that was a fear of god that's what we need today we need some sisters who have a fear of god we need some sisters who can help some of these young girls grow up and fear god to let them know no baby no no no no no no uh uh no no no no we have to let them understand but there is something about respect for yourself cuteness has its place amen but smartness will get you a little bit further we have to have some sisters who have a fear of god these sisters they feared god they wasn't just defiant it didn't that they said to themselves and put their hands on their hips and dug their heels in the sand and said we ain't going and work there next we ain't going to do with pharaoh so that's not the deal they had a fear which was the common denominator between the sisters that's what they had in common they had a fear of god pharaoh gave the orders but we processed the orders in our head but the answer came out of our hearts our heart says we cannot do this because what would god say if we did this how much further church would the world be if we asked ourselves what would god say if we did this whether they lived or it was uh a biological fact that they did have them that fast we are commending them for their reverence for god and for life secondly they were desperate housewives uh desperate midwives they were desperate secondly uh secondly the world helps us to understand that uh you have to turn your desperation into something constructive and sometimes something constructive goes against the grain oh oh we're gonna get in trouble their desperation desperation was turned into something constructive not something destructive the midwives however feared god and they did not do what the king of egypt had told them to do they let the boys live now here here is the thing what they did is they built up the ancestry of hebrews instead of bodily removing and destroying they decided we're going to do something constructive here because god has a plan we don't know what the plan is but we do know that whenever there is birth there is a new generation coming up in other words they weren't thinking about today they were thinking about tomorrow they were thinking about building up because a generation is coming behind us and if we destroy the generation now then we all have no future to help take care of us on tomorrow women were considered to be a liability to their families particularly if they were not married they were considered to be a liability they were somewhat second class but it was it was the culture it was it was the culture amen women's rights had not yet been voted on but it was the culture it was the way of the day it was of its time that's how it was and so therefore they were looking out for their tomorrow and they knew they knew that if they removed the boys they would remove their chances of a blessed tomorrow they understood that in certain if you look around in the world in society today the same thing is still going on same thing is still going on our young boys particularly young african-american boys are dying amen before they can hit their 19th year before they can turn 20 or 21 it is a trick of the enemy to wipe them out get them on drugs amen get them strung out and get them out there do whatever witnesses it's a trick of the enemy to annihilate them and remove them from their future for tomorrow and mess their world up and mess their mind up and allow somebody to kill them at young ages and get in gangs all of it is nothing but a trick from the enemy and we need some mothers we need some mothers who are desperate enough to go on their knees and pray for their boys do we have a witness in here we need some desperate midwives some desperate wives some desperate mothers some desperate daughters and some desperate sisters up we need some desperate women who don't mind going on their knees and say no no you're not going to kill my child amen no my child ain't going in nobody's gang my child is not smoking nobody's drugs no you will not do this you will not kill my boys my grandsons my nephews my great nephews my great-grandsons my brother my daddy they were desperate that's what we need church oh we need some desperate women who will go to god in prayer we need a prayer warrior like my mama who prayed that god will save her knuckle-headed black boy somebody who isn't scared to go to the lord in prayer somebody who will go against the grain and systems of this world and pray for their children yes that is i believe the role of every first lady you had that not only in your first lady but most first ladies that i know that's what they do they pray the book i read some years ago it was written for a school teacher was it was titled other people's children and that's what basically what they do they pray with and they pray for not just their own they pray for other people's children they pray and they always have a spirit of encouragement they are nurturers by nature that is who eve was that's what eve means she was a nurse that's what first ladies do they do more than just what we see they pray for our child our children sometimes confide in them and they look they're looking for role models they're looking for motherhood they're looking at sometimes and sometimes it comes with a rebuke because we can't agree with everything our children do sometimes there has to be a rebuke these sisters were desperate are we i know pharaoh has commanded us i know what the rules and the bylaws and section 8 part b i know what it says i hate to be defiant but it ain't about being defiant but it is about pleasing god i'm sure they touched and agreed i'm sure i'm sure they were on a prayer call together i'm sure they stopped by each other's house they went on a fast and they prayed that they talked about it they therefore concluded we've got to step up our game and we know what will happen the bless let's be able to tell pharaoh something let me tell you when you do stuff for god god will give you what to say out your mouth and whenever they told pharaoh we don't read where pharaoh punished them we really see really where he believed him now pharaoh gave the call and pharaoh gave the charge but the sisters were so different they said no we take another another route and what god did lastly what god did was he created an atmosphere just so god can enter into it let me help uh um so what god will do is this sometimes god will uh create a atmosphere we know the story of jonah it created that scenario sometimes god will create a hill and put you in it just so you can see there is no way out of it just so you can now call on him to be your only way out of it he created this scenario god knew this was going to happen this ain't nothing new god he knew what was going to happen he knew what was going to what the deal was going to be he knew but he created a scenario that requires some time choices we normally would not have we normally would not make scared to me can't make don't know how to make until we seek first the kingdom of god then god will give you the cognitive ingenuity to put it together in other words what god will simply do is god will help you plan your work and work your plan and make sure that it does happen that's basically all i'm saying that's all all i'm saying god got with these sisters because these sisters first got with him and again he created an atmosphere just so he can step into it in other words khan says look i know y'all don't know what to do but i'm i'm going to help you out i know you don't know what to do but i'm going to make sure that you understand that i'm going to give you some discernment so that you will know what's going on that i created it to go on just so i can step into your world that's what god does he creates scenarios just so he can step into our world and bless us and show us a glimpse of some of his glory he created this scenario for these sisters and these sisters put it all together and knew that god was in control they knew god was going to make a way out of nowhere they knew he was going to do what the god kind of god do they understood and the atmosphere was perfect for god to show up that's what i love about god in closing is that he always shows up and he's not only show up but he shows up and he shows out he shows up when we don't think he will show up he shows up when sometimes it doesn't look or appear he's going to show up but he showed up in this situation how do we know look at the rest of the text the babies kept on coming the babies kept on coming rayquans were born every day hello somebody chunkuedas laquishas were born every day after this babies kept on coming and babies kept on coming they kept on coming the scales they weighed them they gave birth them they kept on and they kept on coming to pharaoh realize that he has more than what he can handle the bible says in closing that god did not forget about these sisters he did not forget about them and what did god do for them and because the midwives feared god he gave them families of their own that's what god will do for you that's what god will do nothing for god does not go unrecognized everything and anything you do for god it will become recognized nobody else might not see it but god sees it nobody else may not believe your story but god believes it you may not have what other people have but god gave you what you have you got to work with what you got god did not forget about these sisters he did not forget about them and he gave them families of their own he didn't just give them a little boys and give them little girls and gave them husbands if you look at what he means when he says he gave them families of their own really what god was telling them is i'm gonna look out for your tomorrow that's what i'm gonna do what you doing for me i'm gonna look out for you for your tomorrow i'm i'm stacking the deck just for you he gave them exceededly and abundantly more than they can ask all of what they could think he didn't just give them sons he didn't just give them daughters he didn't just give them husbands but he gave them what he ordained in the beginning of time in other words god took them to the beginning of why he put him here in the first place you do know the word says that god had ordained families and god gave them what he ordained and god gave them favor in their life that's what we need from god as i conclude we need the favor of god praise god for families praise god that god gave you favor anybody can shout off for that or anybody in here glad that the lord gave you a favor and he gave you a family not just a family but god thought about your tomorrow he gave you sons that will look out for you and take care of you he gave you a husband that will provide all that you need he gave you some daughters that could procreate and keep the family line going he gave you favor and that's what i love about god for the favor in my life he didn't have to do it but because i've been desperate to do better because i've been desperate to have more because i've been desperate to want to please him the lord has added to our life do i have a witness tell somebody he's added to my life he's done more than what i can think he could do he walks with me he talks with me somebody says he tells me that i am his own he opened doors that no man could ever open the he opened doors no man could ever shut he is anointed afresh he woke me up this morning and started me on my way up do i have a witness in here tell somebody i'm desperate i'm desperate i said i'm desperate to please
