The Phaneroo Devotion: The Law of Midwifery
Apostle Grace Lubega
Exodus 1:15-17 (NKJV): “Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.”

In the spiritual realm, God has instituted the Law of Midwifery: for every spiritual burden, vision, or calling birthed in your spirit, God has appointed midwives to assist and guide you into full manifestation.
In 1 Samuel 3, when young Samuel heard a voice calling his name, he lacked the discernment to recognize it as God’s voice. It was the ‘midwife’ Eli who gave him the simple, destiny-defining instruction: “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears.’” That single sentence from a spiritual midwife helped Samuel recognize the significance of the encounter and respond appropriately.
Whether they are mentors, spiritual fathers, seasoned prayer partners, or companions like Barnabas was to Paul, midwives are divinely positioned to interpret what God has placed upon your life. Some midwives will be ahead of you in life and experience, while others may be behind you and less prominent than you. Regardless of whether they are above or below you, their presence is too important to ignore when it is time to push forth your vision. Locate, honor, and lean upon the midwives God has assigned to your destiny!

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for the divine order of Your Kingdom and the law of midwifery. You open my eyes to recognize, honor, and receive the midwives You have positioned in my path. I choose to walk in humility and yield to spiritual guidance so that every vision inside me is brought forth unto Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
