HOW TO DELIVER LIKE THE 'HEBREW WOMEN'
Exodus 1 v 15-17
15 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.
16 And he said "when you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women and see them on the BIRTH STOOLS, if it is a son then you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter then she shall live.
17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive."
Any woman who wants to deliver like the Hebrew women should behave like the Hebrew women. The Hebrew women in Egypt never delivered in the hands of unskilled childbirth attendants on mats or plantain leaves or in spiritual homes without trained attendants. They delivered on delivery beds which the Bible described as 'birth stools' in a maternity hospital where trained midwives took the deliveries. They delivered in a hospital where the king can, visit, not a place without name or formal registration with the Ministry of Health. When any pregnant woman claims, she will deliver like the Hebrew women and is being attended to by unskilled and unsafe child birth attendants in an unhygienic environment without facilities to help her if she needs it, such a woman should know that she is out of tune with the word of God, such a woman can never attract the faith that will save her in that pregnancy because faith is confidence in what the word of God said or implies. In this case of Hebrew women, the word implied that they were delivered by trained midwives in a maternity hospital with facilities like delivery beds. Any woman who wants to have safe delivery or deliver like the Hebrew women should register on time for antenatal care in a registered hospital, clinic or maternity where there are trained and God fearing child birth attendants, midwives and doctors. She should also deliver in such a facility long before the advent of Jesus Christ, ancient Egypt was known to have a highly developed medical practice with specialists in delivery matters and schools where midwives were trained.
Herodotus described the Egyptians as "the healthiest of all men, next to the Libyans" due to the dry climate and the notable public health system that they possessed. According to him "the practice of medicine is so specialized among them that each physician is a healer of one disease and no more.
Claiming to deliver like the Hebrew women and doing wrong things like being delivered by untrained personnel and in unsafe outfits make such belief not produce the desired faith for manifestation of safe delivery. What such in appropriate actions produce is unsafe delivery which is the reason for high maternal and new born mortality and morbidity in our surgeon. Belief must be coupled with appropriate actions for faith to come which produces our desired expectations which in this case is safe delivery.
The earliest known woman physician PESESHET practiced in ancient Egypt at the time of the 4th Dynasty. Her title was "Lady Overseer of the lady physicians." In addition to her supervisory role Peseshet trained midwives at an ancient Egyptian Medical School in SAIS.
It is unfortunate that in Nigeria many people depend entirely on supernatural cure neglecting scientific medicine even when it will benefit them while ancient Egyptians more than three thousand years ago, made use of specialists. The ancient Egyptians also recognized and made are of the supernatural which was a good combination.
Finally, “Medicine is of God and therefore it’s not evil”
