SCEPTRE OF HIS POWER
Memorise: But unto the Son
he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness
is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Hebrews 1:8
Read: Esther 5:1-3, 5 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal
apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the
king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over
against the gate of the house.
2 And it
was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she
obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden
sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the
sceptre.
3 Then said
the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it
shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
Bible in one year: Numbers
3, 1st Corinthians 16
MESSAGE!
The dawning of your day of favour causes God to beckon to you. God
beckons to you to bring you close to His power. In whatever way the Lord is
beckoning to you, may you not be insensitive or blind to it in Jesus’ Name! The
sceptre that the king stretched towards Esther in today’s Bible reading is a
symbol of power. When Esther went near the king, she touched the sceptre. When
you touch the sceptre of the King of kings, not only will your history be
rewritten, the history of your entire race will begin to change at the same
time. According to Esther 4:11, anyone who went
before King Ahasuerus uninvited would be executed instantly, regardless of who
they were, except he lifted his sceptre towards them. by lifting the sceptre towards Esther, the king changed
death to life for her.
During a Holy Ghost Service held in the first auditorium at the
Redemption Camp, the Lord said that there was someone in attendance whom the
enemies had planned to kill, but because the fellow had come to the programme
the night, death had been cancelled. Everybody said “Amen” without knowing who
God was specifically referring to. In the congregation that night was a
particular woman to whom some people were heavily indebted. When these debtors
felt they could not pay, they decided to kidnap and kill her so that they could
be free from their debt without repaying. After the programme, they kidnapped
her, bound and threw her into the boot of their car and began to drive towards
a forest in Badagry (a border town between Lagos
and the Republic
of Benin ), where they
planned to kill her. On their way, they came across a police checkpoint. That
was not supposed to be a problem, as they had already packaged cash brides to
be offered to all the policemen they came across along the way. But because God
had already cancelled the plan of death for this woman, when they offered the
money to the policeman, he turned it down and said he wanted to see what was in
their boot. That they increased the bribe offer, but the policeman declined and
insisted on seeing what was in their boot. When they saw that their game was
up, they fled. The police man opened the boot, saw the woman and released her.
Just as He did for this woman, today, the Lord is stretching His sceptre of
power towards you. Wherever the enemy had planned something against you, the
Lord will make a way of escape for you. Praise the Lord!
Prayer Point
Father, stretch Your
sceptre of power to me; let it touch me and thwart the plans of the enemy
against the glorious destiny You have for me.
