Meekness by kpakpandoN(m): 5:44am On Nov 11, 2013
One of the outstanding qualities of the midwives in Exodus 1:15-21 is meekness.Many people usually misconstrue meekness for weakness but this is not so.To be meek is to be capable of doing a lot of damage but to refuse to use such powers for evil.Those midwives had the power to kill new born babies but they refused to use it.Matthew 5:5 says "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth". This tells us that if you are meek,you will attract material possessions in ways you cannot explain.That also means that if you usually use the power at your disposal to do evil and not show mercy,you will be repelling material things in ways that you cannot understand.No wonder meekness of the midwives gave them households! In addition,meekness causes things on the earth to cooperate with the one who has it.Meekness is a show of mercy.The merciful obtains mercy and the way of meek is clear.When the way to progress or prosperity is blocked for some people,they will begin to look for some external enemies,not knowing that it is their vengeful,highly retaliatory and unforgiving disposition that is causing it. Every believer is a potential divine midwife and as such should be meek.When somebody is doing everything to pull you down,and you have information about the fellow that can bring him or her down,don't use it.Those who say: 'Before you bring me down I will clear you out of the way',are lacking in meekness. A meek fellow does not have the terms: vengeance, unforgiving spirit, impatience with offenders,etc.,in his or her dictionary.The meek fellow makes excuses for his or her offenders.Moses was the meekest of men in his days.Also when Stephen was being stoned to death,what did he say? He told the Lord not to record the event leading to his death because they did not know what they were doing.That was also what our Lord Jesus Christ did. That is meekness.
