WHEN HELP IS VOLUNTEERED
Memorise: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good
pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Luke
12:32
Read: Esther 5:1-3 (KJV)
1 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
28-29, Galatians 1
After Esther touched the sceptre of a mere mortal king, death was turned into
life for her; how much more will great things happen to those who touch the
sceptre of the King of kings. I can assure you that lots of transformational
changes await those who can touch the sceptre of the Most High God – the Lord
Jesus Christ. I was once invited to a Fall Gospel Business Men Fellowship
meeting in Port Harcourt (South-South Nigeria). I was asked to speak on “The
New Anointing”; so I told them what the anointing can do in the life of a man.
At the end of the message, virtually everyone wanted to torch the man of God. I
had to be smuggled out of the hall where the meeting held. As we drove off, a
very desperate woman ran towards the car with her handkerchief and rubbed it
against the car and said, “There is power here now”, and she went home. Unknown
to her, while she was away, one of her sisters had gone completely insane. It
was so serious that it took six men to hold her down. When she got home and saw
what was happening, she asked them to make way for her, because she had power
in her hands. She simply laid the handkerchief on the girl and she became
normal instantly.
In addition, after Esther touched the sceptre, the king asked her, “My queen,
what can I do for you?” Normally, when you approached a highly placed individual
for a favour, you should be the one to ask for help. But in this case, we see
the king volunteering help to Esther. This tells us that when your day of
favour dawns, the Almighty God will volunteer to help you. Furthermore, we see
that the volunteered assistance was very significant. The king offered to give
Esther up to half of his kingdom. If she had asked for it, she would have
gotten it. When your day of favour dawns, God will be ready to grant your
request, no matter how big, difficult or how impossible it may sound. This
season, the Lord will volunteer to help you. He will give you an open cheque,
saying “My child, just ask anything you want and I will do it!” During this
season of your favour, your request shall not be grievous to God. Even when you
are at a loss over what to ask, the Lord will lead you to ask right by His
Spirit.
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.” - Romans 8:26
Prayer Point: Father, You know my needs more than I do, please meet all
of my needs today.
