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 (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 3;
1 Corinthians 16
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.
