3. Introduction
Some of the greatest people in history will tell you how important their
mothers were to their lives. George Washington, for example, declared: “All
I am I owe to my mother”.

Mother’s day is one of the hardest one for me to preach. Pag sinabi cguro ni
sabihin sa Father’s day ka magpreach madami ako masasabi,. kse for me
as I’ve mentioned or napapansin I’ve never give credit to my Mom sa
birthday nya or even sa Mother’s day because I have my own issues sa
mom but we all have different issues, different paths, this time when I
thought about this topic habang nag pray ako and ask for the Holy Spirit
what message should I give then when I was reading the bible napunta ako
sa Exodus - dun kay Moses kse as we all know HE IS

One of the greatest men in Old Testament history, a man named Moses.
(As we all know Moses’ story) he became the kind of man he was because
of the type of mother he had. In fact, who he was, was very much
determined by the type of mothers he had, because God gave Moses two
mothers.

Both of the women who fulfilled the maternal role in the life of Moses made
certain choices in regard to Moses that impacted the course of his life.
Their choices made Moses the man he became. Yung old saying, “The
hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” totoo ito sa buhay ni Moses.

Before we contemplate the mothers of Moses, it is important to

mairecognize natin ang primary purpose ng Exodus – it is giving us these
details about his birth and early childhood. They are given to verify how God
prepared Moses to be the rightful leader of Israel and the prophet who
would write the Torah.
In doing so, however, it provides encouraging insights that should
encourage us today.
First, God blessed Moses with his biological Mother.
The name of Moses’ biological mother was Jochebed, but we don’t learn
this until later in the book of Exodus (Exo 6:20; Num 26:59). Instead, we
learn that both her and her husband were descendants of Levi (Exo 2:1).
Having Levi as your great, great grandfather was not an honor. His father,
Jacob, described him as a cruel, dishonorable, angry, self-centered, and
impulsive man (Gen 49:5-6). For this reason, Jacob offered him a curse and
not a blessing (Gen 49:7).
As with any family, the roots of family problems seem to run throughout
later generations.
God blesses us with mothers, nonetheless. The name Jochebed means
“Jehovah is her glory.” Though she inevitably contributed to her son’s fallen
tendencies, she also influenced him heavily for God. By doing so, she also
influenced the entire nation of Israel for centuries to come. What’s more,
she even influences people today, like you and me, who hear about Moses
and are influenced by his biblical teaching.
Then, God blessed Moses with an adopted mother.
Though God influenced Moses (and us) significantly through his biological
mother, he also influenced him (and us) greatly through his adopted mother
as well. Whereas Jochebed was a daughter of Levi (Exo 2:1),
this woman was a daughter of Pharaoh (2:5). So kse lagi sya referred to
Princess (Pharaoh’s Daughter) but her name is Bithiah.

Unlike Jochebed, she was descended from a pagan family who worshipped
false gods and rejected the one, true Creator God whom the Israelites
worshipped.
This woman was likely not as powerful as you may first assume. To be
pharaoh’s daughter (or princess) meant that she was born due to relations
between Pharaoh and one of the many women in his harem. Though she
enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, she was not necessarily an influential or powerful
person. She was an Egyptian princess, meaning that she was one of many
women in Pharaoh’s extended royal family. The odds were small that she
would ever have a child of her own.

Pero gusto ko maexamine nating ang choices they made by BEING the
mothers of Moses. Their choices have much to teach us about love, about
life and about the legacy we leave our children. I want to preach about The
Man With Two Mothers. Allow me to point three of their out HOW these
women made in the life of Moses and just like Moses - God gave me two
mothers. Like sa title ng topic ko ngayon “The Man with two mothers”

First , THEY CHOOSE TO GIVE MOSES LIFE

A. Consider the choice of JOCHEBED

Moses was born into a culture of death. Ill. The context of Ex. 1:7-22.
According to the decree of Pharaoh, Moses should have been killed as
soon as he was born.
 Imagine mo buntis ka, excited ka magkababy nde moa lam kung lalaki or
babae dahil wla pa naman ultrasound nun. (DIBA SATIN TINITNGNAN pa
nga sa pagkabilog ng tyan sabihin lalaki yan or babae anak mo dba) SO,
They had to wait until the mother gave birth. Pero when Jochebed did, she
gave birth to a “goodly” baby boy. The word “goodly” has the idea of being
“good, pleasant, agreeable, and happy.” In other words, he was a lovely
baby boy.

In his mother’s eyes, (or kahit sinong nanay) he was perfect, and she
refused to kill him, but she chose life and hid her son. His mother chose to
disobey the command of Pharaoh. She allowed her son to live.

By the way, both of Moses’ parents were involved in the decision to give
him life. Heb. 11:23 says, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three
months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they
were not afraid of the king's commandment.

So, si Amram, and Jochebed hid the growing baby for as long as they
could, Ex. 2:2-4. “God heard their groaning and he remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, with Jacob”.Of course others knew she
was expecting. Shempre alam ng lahat sa paligid nil ana buntis sya. How
would she explain the fact that she was no longer pregnant? How could she
explain a pregnancy that had gone on that long? How could she keep the
existence of a growing, rambunctious baby boy from getting out.

Pero Her faith in God would not allow her to murder her son. But, her faith
in God was so great that she was willing to trust God with the life of her son.
She could not kill the baby, and she could not secure his life either. She
made a little basket of reeds; applied pitch to it so that it would not leak, put
her baby in it, and set him adrift on the providence of God. The baby’s older
sister stayed nearby to make sure nothing happened to the child.

Here was a mother who chose life for her child. It would have been easier to
take his life. Death for baby Hebrew boys was the law of the land. She
could have destroyed her young son, but she chose to give him life instead!

YUNG CHOICE MAG OFW PARA LANG SA ANAK

B. Consider The Choice Of The Princess (BITHIAH)
In verses 5-6, the daughter of Pharaoh comes down to the river to bathe.
When she sees the floating ark, she sends her servants to investigate. They
bring her the basket, and she looks inside to find a crying baby boy. PAANO
NYA ALAM NA HEBREW BABY YUN? Because he is circumcised she
recognizes that he is a Hebrew baby, and immediately understands that his
mother has chosen life over death for her child.

We are told that she “had compassion on him.” The word “compassion”
means “to spare, or to have pity on.” In that instant, this princess had a
choice. She could obey the decree of her father and have the child killed.
After all, it would have been easy. All she would have had to do was have
one of her servants tip over the ark and the child would have drowned. Or,
she could choose life. This pagan princess, born into a culture of death,
chose life for a child who should have been killed.

Let’s face the facts today; we also live in a culture of death. We live in a
world where the most dangerous place for an unborn child is the place that
should be the safest: its mother’s womb. We live in a world where not every
pregnant woman wants to be a mother. We live in a culture that allows a
woman to take away the life of their child.

Illustrations:
The Philippines has one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the world; while
the government has acknowledged that the law may allow abortion to
protect the life and health of pregnant women, in practice such exceptions
are not made. Women have little choice but to resort to whatever
underground treatment they can access and afford, regardless of risk.

But still 1.1 million abortions occur every year in the Philippines, a 2020
study.

Sa ngayon, pinag uusapan paano kung decriminalized ang abortion law in

the Philippines.

There is much more to say about abortion. The fact is, it is too easy in our
world to do away with an unwanted child. We live in a culture of death, and
that cannot be denied!

We need to pray for our pro-life lawmakers, and pray that God will change
the hearts of those who are pro-death. If God can providentially touch the
heart of a pagan princess and make her choose life for a Hebrew baby, He
can touch the hearts of lost lawmakers and doctors and help destroy this
culture of death in which we live.

So, Let me make two quick statements for my points.

1. Thank God for every mother who chooses life for her child! I applaud you
and thank God for you, I praise the Lord that my mother chose life for me.
This is always God will, as every human life is precious to the Lord. Dahil
nde madali maging nanay!

2. If you have had an abortion, I want you to know that God loves you and
He cares about you. Your chose to end the life of your child was a sin,
but it is a sin that can be forgiven. Bring it to God and allow Him to
cleanse your heart and soothe the pain you feel over what you have
done.

Illustrations: JAI

Death would have been easier, but both these women chose to give Moses
life.

So, the first point is they choose to give Moses life now in point

II. They Choose to give Moses Love

Both of the women God placed in the life of Moses loved him more than
they loved themselves. His birth mother risked her life to save his life. His
adoptive, Egyptian mother risked the wrath of her father, the Pharaoh to
save his life.

PERO BAKIT NILA GINAWA TO? The only answer that makes sense is
love. They loved Moses more than they loved themselves. Their love for
him motivated them to action. (DIBA PAGMAHAL MO ANG ISANG TAO
LAHAT GAGAWIN MO! LALONG LALO NA PAG ANAK MO!)

Jochebed loved Moses because he was her son. Her body gave him life
and nourished him as he grew, verses 7-9. Her love for Moses allowed
Moses to fulfill the greatest earthly destiny ever designed for any Hebrew.
Because his mother loved so much that she risked everything to save him,
he was able to lead his people out of Egyptian slavery, destroy the armies
and power of Egypt without lifting a single sword or firing a single arrow. Her
love allowed him to fulfill his God-given destiny to be a savior of his people.

The princess loved Moses because God put it into her heart. (Because God
has a bigger plan for that boy) There is no other reason that this pagan
daughter of Pharaoh would adopt the son of a Hebrew slave. Pero ang
heart was moved by the plight of a helpless child and she took him as her
own son.
She named him “Moses.” The name means, “Drawn Out,” referring to the
fact that Moses was “drawn out” of the Nile River. This name was also
providential. Moses was “drawn out” so that he might one day “draw out”
others. Amen

It is hard to escape the irony of this situation. Pharaoh had to pay for the
upkeep of a child he had ordered to be murdered. Again, this is the
providence of God.

Just a reminder, we serve a God Who is in charge of all things. He is

controls every event in life to accomplish His purposes in the world, Psa.
115:3; 135:6; Eph. 1:11.

God put love for this child into the hearts of two vastly different women. God
spared Moses from certain death because He had a plan for this man’s life.
He would use Moses in a tremendous way. There is another reason that
God spared Moses.

According to Acts 7:29-30, which says, “The same dealt subtilly with our
kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young
children, to the end they might not live. In which time Moses was born, and
was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months.”
The phrase “exceeding fair” literally means that he was “fair to God.” God
loved this child and worked in the hearts and lives of others causing them to
love him too.

If you were born into a family where you received love, you should rejoice! If
you have been loved, you have been blessed.

kung nabasa nyo ung news ung Moroccan football player si Hakimi he is
worth millions kse ang sweldo nya 1 million dollars every month. Mayaman
din ung asawa bat nde kseng yaman nito so dinivorce nya kse she was
thinking jackpot ako pero un pla lahat ng sweldo, assets nasa name ng
mother nya. So pagdating nila sa court imbes na ung babae magbigay sa
lalaki, sya nhgayon ang magbigay every month. You know why! Kse nung
pinakasalan palang ng anak nya ung babae nadiscern na ng nanay ang
totoong pakay sa anak nya nap era lang ang habol at ang age gap yata nila
is 12 years 36 ung babae at 22 ung lalaki. ANONG POINT KO! Ganyan ang
nanay gagawin lahat para nde mapahamak ang anak! Mother’s instinct
AND LOVE.

So how can we apply this to our personal life!

Mothers play a vital role in working out God’s plan.
It’s said for good reason that, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” No matter her
spiritual condition, her motives in raising you, or the way she became your mother, you should
thank God for your mother(s). From God’s perspective, the influence of the mother in your life
is more significant than you may realize. The same is true for the way that God intends for her
influence to influence the world through your life.

Even complex mother situations reveal God’s providence.

Even if your mother is a nonbeliever with ungodly motives and an ungodly lifestyle, God can
still use her influence in your life in strategic ways. The same is true even when you have
multiple mothers (i.e., a stepmother, an adopted mother, etc.). because later on bka ikaw pa ang
daan sa pagbabago ng nanay mo.

We should still raise children, even in a hostile world.

An antichristian culture and a wicked society is no reason to cease having children. If anything,
it is even more of a reason to have children and to raise them for God.

Mothering requires risk-taking and sacrifice.

There’s no easy way to be a mother (or father). Bringing a child into the world is risky on so
many levels, and these risks multiply with every child you raise. These risks include:

- decreased privacy
- increased financial pressures coupled with unstable employment trends
- a bewildering array of psychological disorders, dietary problems, and allergy conditions
- complex educational options
- intensified marriage challenges
- effects on the mother’s health
- harmful outside influences
- the unpredictable nature of the child’s personal choices
- the potential for disappointment and a broken heart

Mothers should learn to accept their limitations.

To be sure, parents should not abdicate their responsibility to govern and guide their children’s
development and to nurture their relationship with God. Even so, God sometimes allows
challenging circumstances beyond your control.In neither case did either mother of Moses
enjoy full control over his life. Pharaoh’s daughter had no control for the first 3-4 years
(formative years!) and Jochebed had no control throughout his schooling years. Despite this
limiting scenario, God still accomplished his plan.

So, when circumstances beyond your control prevent you from exercising full control over your
child(ren), you must trust the LORD as Jochebed did.
You can trust God with your schooling options.
There’s no one right and universal way to educate your children. Homeschool, charter school,
public school, boarding school, or public school (did I miss any options) all have their place in
the world. What’s more, these options all have their own set of strengths and weaknesses in
every case. God used the public education of Egypt (at the elementary, junior high, high school,
collegiate, and graduate school levels) to prepare Moses for his special calling. In fact, this
experience underscored his fitness for his role and prepared him for effective leadership and
service..

Thank God for godly, supportive fathers, too! (KUNG WLA THANK YOU NA
LANG SA KASAMA SA PAG GAWA NG ANAK)
According to Hebrews 11:23, Amram (his father) and Jochebed both conspired to hide Moses
for three months rather than kill him. Exodus likely doesn’t mention him because he would
have been away from the home a lot doing heavy, burdensome labor for the Egyptian
taskmasters who were requiring inordinate demands. As such, Jochebed would have carried the
primary burden of keeping Moses quiet twenty-four hours a day for three months and of finding
a way to hide him after that. Even so, his father, Amram (Exo 6:20), equally supported her
decision and was not afraid to do the right thing.

Thank God for the love of parents for their children. Genuine parental love
is a window into the very heart of God.
I. They Chose To Give Moses Life

II. They Chose To Give Moses Love

III. They choose to give Moses Leadership

Both of the mothers God gave Moses invested themselves into his life.

A. His Egyptian mother gave him the best that Egypt had to offer. Acts
7:21-22 says, “And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up,
and nourished him for her own son. And Moses was learned in all the
wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.” This
means that she gave him the best education available. It is possible that
Moses, by virtue of being adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh, was in line
for the throne. He was trained as a prince in Egypt. He was trained for
leadership, and that training would serve him well in his later years.
B. His birth mother gave him something his adoptive mother could not give
him. His real mother introduced Moses to the God of Israel. She told him
about the true and living God. She would have warned him about the false
gods and religions of Egypt. She would have told him the stories of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. She would have told him about the reason the
Israelites were in bondage in Egypt. She would have told him about the
promises of God to delver His people from bondage some day. She would
have instilled within him a love and respect for the God of his fathers.

Her lessons took root in heart. How do we know? Heb. 11:24-27 says, “By
faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the
reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had
respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is
invisible.”

By the time he was grown, Moses understood that God would use him to
delIver the people of Israel from their slavery. Acts 7:24-29 says,

The lessons Moses learned from his mother set the very course of his life.
Thus it is with the children we have been given the responsibility to raise.
We need to give them something that all the universities, schools, and
extracurricular activities in the world cannot give them. We need to give
them knowledge of God!

REALIZING WITHOUT HER I WOULDN’T BE HERE AND DAD for taking

What I am saying is this: In the culture in which we live, TAYONG MGA

PARENTS GUSTO NATIN UNG MGA ANAK EH MAS HIGIT PA SA
MERON TAYO NOON, GUSTO NATIN CLA TO HAVE better education, a
better home, a better life. BUT ANG KAILANGAN TLGA NATING GAWIN
IS they have a deep, personal, abiding relationship with God. What we
should do is to do everything in our power to cultivate their love for the Lord.
We should pray with them, and pray for them. We should read the Bible
with them, and to them. We should take them to church faithfully.OR KUNG
ANDITO TAYO ENCOURAGE ANG PAMILYA NATIN ANDUN We should
see to it that they are involved in the programs of the church. We should
see to it that our personal walk matches our profession of faith in the Lord.
We should be real in front of our children!

More than anything, we should give our children Jesus Christ and Him
crucified and resurrected, the only hope of salvation!

CONCLUSION
God providentially prepared Moses for his role as the deliverer of Israel
through the two women he gave him to be his mothers. Their influence
made Moses into the man he became. AMEN so let me remind you

· If you were blessed to have a good, godly mother, you should thank
Him for that today.

· If your mother was not what she should have been, ask the Lord to
help you overcome her negative influence and to help you be a better
person than she was.

· If your mother is lost, you should pray for her salvation.

· If your mother is alive, you should confirm your love for her.

· If you are like me, and you need the Lord to work in areas of your life
that are lacking, you should come to Him today.

· If you would like to come and pray for your children’s growth, maturity
and successful departure from your home, this would be a good time.
After all, “The most important thing that parents can teach their children is
how to get along without them.”

· If you are out of God’s will, you should come home today, so that you
can be the kind of influence God wants you to be.

· If you are lost, we should come to Jesus Christ right now for salvation.
He will forgive your sins, save your soul and change your life. When He
changes you, He will change those around you through you.

This is the word of God for this day!

Let us stand and pray HEAVENLY FATHER, we bless our Mothers this day,
no matter what they have done or left undone. We do this because we
believe in God’s love. For some of us our Mothers are but a cherished
memory now; others are blessed with the opportunity to share good times,
concerns & conversations. We honor our Mothers & we praise you, O God,
for your gift of Motherly love. We are grateful for the loving hands that have
worked so hard in raising us, cared enough to guide & encourage us, and to
bless us in ways we could not have fully known as children.

Mothers of the world…you may be someone who has given birth, or you
may have assumed the role of Mother…but you are God’s love in
expression.

No matter your age, where you are, or who the children are who need you,
you are there to reassure, to listen, and to love. Of all the roles you fill in life,
Motherhood is a constant and rewarding one. God bless you! You are loved
and honored for what you have done and continue to do in life as you
nurture, love and care for all the children of God.

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR GOODNESS TO US MOTHERS.

LET US sing that song ‘Goodness of God’

BENEDICTION
Heavenly Father, Now unto Him He is able, let us Go in peace, love and
care for one another in the name of Christ; thank you for this time that we
have spent together learning more about you and worshiping your name. As
we leave this place today, may we be committed to worshiping and serving
you in our daily lives. Lord, show us ways that we can bless others each
day. Help us to see you in the monotony of the mundane; help us to see
your blessings around us in the simple, small things that bring us joy each
day. As we leave this place, please fill us with peace. Help us to go forth
with joy that can only come from you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen
