THE AREA THAT MATTERS

*THE AREA THAT MATTERS*

Exodus  1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:  1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

The Israelites were in Egypt for some time. They were increasing in number and influence. To deal with this Pharaoh devised a method to deal with both numerical increase and influence. He dealt with the *area that matters*.

Pharaoh instructed Hebrew midwives to monitor child birth and make sure all sons by the Israelite women are killed at birth but daughters or girls were made to survive. Why sons and not girls? It is the area that matters.

Sons were the tribe, they would propel the tribe's name, they carried the seed, they were the future, they spoke to and touched  generations to come. Daughters would be married and the name of the tribe is gone. In fact without the sperm from the sons, sooner or latter Israel will be in extinction. It was the deal. The area that matters.

In life the devil is after your area of the 'son'. He knows when he deals with your key area he is done with you. You may be left with the daughter area but it's not the area that matters. Do you know your area which matters? Never allow the devil tamper with your area which matters. He is very cunning. He allows you to 'excel' in some area just to console but you will never touch generation without the area which matters.

Pharaoh had to use the Hebrew midwives to deal with the area that mattered. The devil will use people close to you to make sure you are disposed of the area which matters and no longer influential. But I like these midwives. The bible records that they feared the Lord and didn't kill the sons at birth. Refuse to be used of the devil to stop another man in his area which matters. Many people are crying because of the 'midwives' who came to take away their area which matters. Is it a skill, a gift, talent, idea? Never allow bad midwives to help you give birth to that but soon after kill the area which matters. My area which matters cannot go into extinction. My influence will touch generations.

*Affirmation*

1. I know the area which matters
2. I will guard jealously my area of gifting
3. I will touch generations with my purpose
