In Exodus 1 : 15 – 21, we read about the role of some midwives who assisted pregnant Hebrew women to deliver babies. Midwives are a very important class of people because they are linked with delivery of babies. As ministers and servants of God, we too are midwives of another order – a higher divine order, saddled not with the responsibility of birthing physical babies but divine babies. God is pregnant and needs spiritual midwives to assist in the birth of divine babies. According to 1 John 3 : 9 – 10, a Christian is born of God. You are a child of God today because you were born of God via the assistance of some midwife – a preacher. “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John 4 : 35 The above passage tells us about the state of God’s pregnancy. It is not just at its first trimester but the third. God has been pregnant for so long and it is now delivery time. The field is ripe for harvest but God is only waiting for harvesters – you and me, people He has already saved to lead these souls into His Kingdom. God is calling out to you “Help me to pull out the babies”. What is your response to His call? Why are we in ministry? Is it just to bear the title of deacon, assistant pastor, pastor, prophet and evangelist, etc? When it comes to this all important subject, Heaven recognises untitled believers who assist God in delivering the babies more than those who are titled but hardly assist in the delivery of babies. Since you were born-again, how many babies have you assisted God to deliver? This year, how many of such babies do you have to your credit? God does not joke with divine midwives. If He could bless the Hebrew midwives for ensuring the birth of physical babies, how much more will He bless the spiritual midwives who birth divine babies? Cooperate with God from today! Go into the field and bring in the souls.
