I believe the Bible is a book of principles, as pastor Morgan always says, “The word BIBLE stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”. Taking this note into account our Topic for today’s intercession is 10 Lessons from the Hen.

  1. Lesson Number 1: GOOD PLANNING
  • The Hen First Lays enough Eggs before she sits on them

The Book of Proverbs 21:5 reads (New Living Translation) “Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty

  • Lesson Number 2: DISCIPLINE
  • When the Hen starts sitting on her eggs, she minimizes movement.

The Book of 1st Timothy 4:7 reads, “Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness

  • Lesson Number 3: SACRIFICE & SELF DENIAL
  • The Hen Physically Loses weight while sitting on her eggs due to decreased feeding.

The Book of Colossians 2:23 says (New Living Translation), “These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.”

  • Lesson Number 4: INDISCRIMINATION & GENEROUSITY
  • A Hen can sit on eggs from another Hen.

The Book of Proverbs 22:9 says (New Living Translation), “Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.”

  • Lesson Number 5: FAITH, HOPE & COURAGE

The Hen sits on her eggs for 21 days, patiently waiting and even if they do not hatch, she will lay eggs again.

The Book of Romans 8:24 says, “For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?”

  • Lesson Number 6: SENSITIVE & DISCERNING
  • The Hen can detect unfertilized eggs and rolls them out.

The Book of Job 34:4 says, “Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good”

  • Lesson Number 7: WISE, COURAGEOUS & REALISTIC
  • The Hen abandons the rotten eggs and starts caring for the hatched chicks, even if it is only 1.

The Book of Mark 12:34 says, When Jesus saw that the man answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” But after that no one dared question Him.

  • Lesson Number 8: PROTECTIVE LOVE
  • No one can touch the Hen’s Chick.

The Book of Psalms 121:5-6 says,The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night”

  • Lesson Number 9: UNITY of PURPOSE
  • The Hen gathers all her Chicks together.

The Book of Romans 15:5 says, “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus

  1. Lesson Number 10: MENTORING
  • The Hen Never abandons her chicks before they Mature. 

The Book of Titus 2:6-8 says, “Likewise urge the young men to be sensible; in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech, which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us

The book of Luke 13:34 (Good News Translation) says “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets; you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times I wanted to put my arms around all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me!

I believe from today going forward into the Easters we will all not only learn from the HEN, but we will apply these lessons such that we can allow God to put his hand amongst us all just like the hen gathers her chicken under her wings.
