MOSES

              Moses is the greatest leader in the BIBLE . The BIBLE says again there will not be a leader like Moses . He is a unique leader whom God has chosen to lead his people into the promised land . Moses did many wonderful works by the power of God , still those works inspire us in our life. He showed the world how a leader should be . Let us see how this wonderful man's birth was.
                                          After the death of Joesph the children of Israel continued to live in the land of Egypt. God has blessed them so they increased in number and started spreading all over the land of Egypt . The Pharaoh (king of Egypt) was scared that these people may fill the entire land and rule Egypt . He started to make the people of Israel to work even harder so that they may become week . Even though the king made them to work hard they started increasing in number more and more . Then the king called  midwife and said 'when you see the Hebrew women upon the stools if it is a male kill them if it is a female let it live' , but the midwives feared the Lord they didn't do as the king commanded them to do and they saved the male child . When the king asked them why they have done like this the midwives replied that Hebrew women are not like the women of Egypt , they are so strong they delivered before the midwives attend to them . 
            Pharaoh passed a commandment that every first born male child of Hebrews should be thrown into the river . there lived a women from the tribe of Levi she conceived a male child and hid him for three months when the child's cry became more louder she could not hide him any longer, so she took a basket and covered it with tar for water proof , prayed and laid the baby in that basket and carried it to the river and left the basket among the reeds on the bank of the river and kept her daughter  Miriam to watch whats happening to the baby and she left home.
                                 By the time the daughter of Pharaoh came to wash her self in the river and saw the basket and ordered her maids to fetch it . The maids bought the basket and opened it and found a baby sleeping inside. The princess felt pity for the baby , that gracious look on the Pharaohs daughters face made Miriam bold enough to step out and ask the princess that if she would like to have a nurse for the baby to look after the princess agreed . Miriam brought her mother to the princess , princess said 'look after this baby and i will pay you wages and he shall be my son and he shall be called 'MOSES' because i drew him out of the water' .
