Topic Prayer And Fasting Opens Doors Of Divine Intervention.

Memory Vsrse:‭Esther 7:6. Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

Bible Reading : ‭Esther 7:3-5 NIV‬. Key Verse : v3.

Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.” King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”

The deal was done, Haman who was second in command in Media and Persia had secured the approval of king Ahasuerus to exterminate the entire Jewish communities in the entire kingdom at a set date. Haman already had prepared a gallow in his house where he intended to hang Mordecai his enemy in chief, come the set date, for whose sake he decided that him and his people should not live because they don’t kneel or bow to humans but their God alone. ‭
“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods. A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued as law in every province and made known to the people of every nationality so they would be ready for that day.” Esther 3:13-14.

‭
“When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly. But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it. In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.” Esther 4:1-3. When news got to Esther in the palace that her uncle Mordecai was in distress and in sackloth at the palace gate, she sent clothes to him which he tuned down. She had to send Hathak to her uncle to find out what the problem was. Finally there was an agreement that all the Jews in Susa should back Esther with 3 days dry fast so that she could approach the king against known procedures which penalty on it’s own was death, should she not be welcome by the king.

By the instrumentality of prayer and fasting, the yoke was broken. Esther appeared before tKing Ahaseurus at the end of the fast and was warmely welcome. By prayer and fasting, the thick cloud of annihilation hanging over the kingdom against the entire Jews was destroyed. Prayers and fasting opened the door of favour starting with the honouring of Mordecai in unusual manner because the Spirit of God took sleep away from the king till he began to check the records to reasobs he must turn the heat on Haman who was too blind to see the move of the Spiritthe Jews served till it was too late. At the end, his own wicked plot consumed him and his family, while Mordecai was promoted to replace him as second in command and a law passed throughout the kingdom, signed by the king himself for the entire Jewish Communities in his kingdom to stand up and defend themselves and subdue any force of intimidation and annihilation on the proposed day of annihilation. What was meant for evil, turned around for their lifting and blessing because of doors of favour that activated divine intervention and deliverance.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because power belongs to you. You raise men and you also bring down men. As I seek your face in prayer and fasting this season, let every plan of the wicked against me, my family and people be destroyed. From now on, let every door of favour and divine help shut against me by wicked forces begin to open on their own accord by the hand of the Almighty in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Genesis 24:29-67.
