Esther 6:1

⭕️When God remembers, he goes ahead to make people to lose peace so that you can enter your season.

⭕️There is a way God causes systems and men to be provoked in your direction when He remembers you.

⭕️When heaven remembers you, men have no choice but to remember you.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD REMEMBERS YOU

1.SUDDEN DIVINE VISITATION AND OPEN HEAVENS THAT RESULT IN DIVINE HELP AND INTERVENTION

(Ezekiel 1:1, Exodus 3:7-8, Acts 10:4-5, 44)

2.YOU RECEIVE DIVINE DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE (Ruth 1:6, Acts 10:4-5)

3.PROPHECIES AND PROMISES BECOME FULFILLED (Genesis 18:10, 21:1-2, Jeremiah 27:22, 29:10, Zechariah 1:12-16)

4.HE TURNS EVERY CAPTIVITY AROUND (Zechariah 2:7, Psalm 105:19, Jeremiah 52:31-34, Ezekiel 38:8)

⭕️Captivity makes people to be in the same spot.

⭕️Captivity produces limitations.

5.JUDGEMENT (Numbers 16:27-30, Genesis 18:20-21)

6. PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED (1 Samuel 2:21)

7.HE GIVES YOU VICTORY (2 Chronicles 20:20-25)

8.HE BRINGS SALVATION (Psalm 106:4, Luke 19:1, 11)

9.HE BRINGS DIVINE HELP, PROVISION AND RESTORATION (Ruth 1:6, 1 Kings 3:5-13)

Amos  3:3, 7, Genesis 18:17

⭕️How satan keeps people at the same spot is by making them keep seeing today.

⭕️Tomorrow is being made today. Today was made yesterday.

⭕️You don’t feel blessed and you don’t feel cursed.

⭕️Curses and blessings are not feelings.

⭕️A curse doesn’t follow you in the present, it goes ahead of you, just like the blessing.

⭕️Tomorrow is not decided tomorrow, tomorrow is decided today.

Psalm 109:17

⭕️Any problem any man faces is as big as he sees it.

⭕️No other man can explain how big your problem is, only you know it.

Numbers 13:33, Job 14:14, Isaiah 61:7, 1 Samuel 1:18, Job 42:10

⭕️The most difficult period to manage your walk with God is when God has intervened but things don’t look like they’ve changed. This is why you need to take a stand of faith.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

⭕️If you are not ready to identify yourself with the beginning, you are not ready to have a future.

2 Samuel 9:1-10

Prayer Point:

LORD, BY YOUR MERCY, LET ME SIT ON MY THRONE.

(1 SAM 9:16, JER 52:32, 1 CHR 22: 9)

Psalm 24:1, 1 Chronicles 16:29, Proverbs 11:9

⭕️Genuine deliverance for those who are born-again comes through knowledge.

⭕️The present (offering) we bring before God is for maintaining a good relationship – a relationship that is not parasitic.

⭕️God doesn’t need presents from us; God has everything.

⭕️We don’t bring a present to a person because they have need of what we are bringing.

⭕️If someone is in need of what you’re giving them, it is a charitable donation.

⭕️Be careful that you don’t have the mentality that you’re giving charitable donations to God.

1 Kings 10:10, 2 Chronicles 9:12, Proverbs 18:16

⭕️A man’s present will make room for him to relate with even people who are great.

⭕️Some people have rich aunts and uncles who are not happy to see them because whenever they go to visit, they go empty-handed but expect to receive.

⭕️God doesn’t like parasites.

Luke 7:5, Acts 9:39

⭕️If you bring a present before God, it shows something about your mentality.

⭕️Parasites are removed harshly.

⭕️Those who only come with a mentality to get, don’t go far but those who come with a mentality to contribute go far.

⭕️The first “Melchizedek” children should have is their parents.

⭕️God saw that you’re ungrateful and that is why those blessings stopped.

Genesis 32:13, 18, 20-21, 33:10

⭕️Sorry has a token, thank you has a token. Don’t let them just be empty words.

⭕️Many people pray a lot but see nothing because they don’t have wisdom.

Genesis 43:11, 15, 26, Luke 16:9, 1 Kings 17:13, Genesis 22:1-3, 1 Kings 4:21

Your gift to God represents your submission and willingness to serve Him.

1 Kings 10:25, 2 Kings 8:8-9, 17:3-4

⭕️A present should come from the good things that you have.

2 Chronicles 32:23, Psalm 45:12, 68:29, 72:10, 76:11

⭕️If you’re praising God and the focus is on you, it’s called entertainment because you’re entertaining yourself.

Micah 1:14, Matthew 2:11, Proverbs 6:35

⭕️A gift can ransom your life, it can terminate a curse upon your  life if it is well presented.

⭕️CONSISTENCY AT THE ALTAR OF PRAYER USUALLY ENSURES CONSISTENT DIVINE FAVOUR, VICTORY IN BATTLE, DIVINE PROMOTION, DIVINE PROVISION AND DIVINE PROTECTION.

⭕️Going on holiday spiritually is what makes people to be in trouble.

⭕️Protesting evil powers are powers that choose to protest against God’s good intentions for your life.

Protest means:

1)rise up

2)express opposition through actions or words (to resist).

3) object

4)express disagreement or disapproval

⭕️Every time God speaks something good towards you, there will be a protest.

⭕️Wizards have ability to peep into your life.

⭕️That something tells you things about your life doesn’t mean they are of God.

⭕️The devil is able to look at a person’s life and tell that that person’s future is great.

⭕️Satan had already peeped into  Jesus’  future and seen His great destiny when He was just a baby.

⭕️Evil spirits give wizards ability to peep into the future.

⭕️The Spirit of God gives men of God the ability to peep into the future.

Isaiah 8:19, Psalm 2:1-5, Acts 4:20

Examples of protests in the Bible

1.Jesus vs Herod (Matthew 2:1-13)

2.Cain vs Abel (Genesis 4:1-8)

3.Haman vs Jews (Esther 3:5-6)

4.Pharaoh vs Israelites (Exodus 5:1-2)

5.Blind Bartimaeus vs the multitude (Mark 10:46-52)

6.Nehemiah vs Sanballat and Tobiah (Nehemiah 2:10)

7.David vs Goliath (1 Samuel 17:41-50)

8.The man born blind (John 9:1-11)

9.Paul vs the Jews (Acts 23:12-15)

Psalm 18:14, 135:7

PRAYER POINT:

GOD, ARISE AND LET YOUR ENEMIES BE SCATTERED. OPEN YOUR STOREHOUSE OF LIGHTING AND WIND, GO IN THE CAMP OF THE WICKED AND PUNISH THEM AS VENGEANCE FOR STANDING AGAINST THE LIFTINGS OF THIS CHURCH AND MOUNTAINITES. AS THUNDER STRIKES OUR ENEMIES, WE DECREE AND DECLARE THAT THERE SHALL BE A THOUSAND TIMES INCREASES AND MULTIPLICATIONS IN THE CAMPS OF MOUNTAINITES.

(PSALM 68:1)

Revelation 3:10

What is patience?

⭕️A good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence

2 Timothy 2:2-3

⭕️Hardness is not encountered only in bad things.

⭕️Those who do not have patience do not last in the presence of God.

⭕️Nobody wins a prize for just participating in a race.

⭕️It becomes very difficult for people to admire our God as Christians when there is nothing around our lives for them to admire.

⭕️Nobody can bear fruit without patience.

⭕️Patience is a virtue that works with faith.

⭕️A person that is not patient cannot have hope.

⭕️We serve a God of process.

Romans 15:4, Luke 8:15

⭕️In the absence of patience, there is no fruit.

Hebrews 6:9-10

⭕️Don’t be a good starter and a bad finisher.

⭕️Satan wants to strike you when your zeal is down, because that’s your weakest point.

⭕️We are dealing with an enemy who was with God and knows what God wants from us.

⭕️Every man has got his own seasons.

⭕️Many prophecies, miracles and breakthroughs do not happen because sons of men are not patient to hold on to what God said.

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, BY YOUR MERCY, BAPTISE ME WITH THE SPIRIT OF PATIENCE.

(HEBREWS 10:36)

Isaiah 49:13-14, Genesis  9:15, Exodus 2:24-25

⭕️God doesn’t forget the way we humans forget.

⭕️When people say God has forgotten them they mean God is no longer giving them attention or attending to their matters.

Your thanksgiving for something that God did can provoke remembrance.

⭕️As you celebrate God for your existence and the things He has done while you are going to face your enemy, He will remember you.

⭕️This is why praise and thanksgiving is a dangerous weapon.

WHAT DOES GOD REMEMBER ABOUT HIS PEOPLE?

1.GOD REMEMBERS YOUR WORK (Hebrews 6:9-10, Revelation 2:2, 9, 13, Malachi 38:9)

⭕️God remembers your work and service that you do for Him.

⭕️God knows what you are doing.

⭕️If you pretend to be doing something, He also knows that you are just pretending.

⭕️Everybody has needs to meet but people choose to prioritise the kingdom of God and God knows that.

⭕️God remembered the work of Daniel and Hezekiah (Daniel 6:20, Isaiah 38:1-5)

⭕️Do you have any works that can stand before God?

2.OUR DESIRES (Psalm 38:9, 1 Kings 8:18)

⭕️God sees our desires for Him.

⭕️What desires do you have in your heart for yourself and for the kingdom of God?

⭕️Wrong desires invite satan.

3.OUR WORDS AND ACTIONS (1 Samuel 2:3, Numbers 14:27-28, Malachi 3:16)

⭕️Whether you said or did it secretly, God was watching, and He heard.

⭕️Mordecai (Esther 6:1-3) and Dorcas (Acts 9:39-41) were remembered for their deeds.

4.OUR GIVINGS AND SACRIFICES (Psalm 50:5, 20:1-3, Acts 10:4)

5.OUR PRAYERS (AND FASTINGS) (Psalm 56:8, Acts 10:4, Matthew 6:4, 6, 18, 1 Samuel 1:11, 18-19)

⭕️He remembers our prayers to be answered.

⭕️No prayer prayed to God goes to waste.

6.HIS COVENANT AND PROMISES (Exodus 2:24-25)

Ecclesiastes 11:3, Ezekiel 47:1-5, 9
⭕️Prayer is about making sure your cloud is full.
⭕️This principle doesn’t only apply to prayer, but to many other things such as giving.
⭕️Make your cloud full of rain so that it can give you a harvest.
⭕️Take advantage of every moment to pray.
⭕️When you consistently pray and your cloud is full, it begins to rain glory into your camp.
⭕️Every time you have an opportunity to pray, pray.
⭕️When your cloud is full, it will empty on you.
⭕️Many times, we don’t have enough wisdom to handle the problems that we face.
⭕️Anything that can increase your wisdom is good, and eventually you will overcome your problems.
John 7:37-39, 1 Corinthians 6:19
⭕️When you invest in prayer, you yourself will reap the benefits, not someone else.
⭕️There are some things that will require a one sentence prayer prayed over and over, in order for you to move them.
⭕️Some people become bored when there is only one prayer point.

PRAYER POINT:
FATHER, LET THE KIND OF FAVOUR THAT CAME ON ESTHER WHEN SHE FASTED, THAT CAME UPON THE HEBREWS IN EGYPT, CAUSING THE EGYPTIANS TO GIVE THEM GOLD AND SILVER COME ON ME AND ON THIS COMMISSION.
(ESTHER 5:2, PSA 44:3)

ACTIVATING THE INHERENT POWER INSIDE YOU
Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 1:17-19
⭕️If you do not have a revelation of power, you will be hearing of power but you will not desire it.
⭕️When you pray for God to empower you, don’t think that power is going to come from heaven.
⭕️Power is inherent (present) in you but it is in dormant form.
⭕️Every child of God is like a genset.
⭕️When the Holy Spirit came, He brought power with Him.
⭕️The Holy Ghost is your standby, He is inside you but He doesn’t move without your activation.
⭕️As a child of God, if you don’t pray and study the word of God, that power inside you will remain as though you do not have it.
Acts 6:4, 4:23, 31, 33-34
⭕️Money is one dangerous thing that can make you to lose power as a child of God.
⭕️Some people, because they have money, can access the best hospitals and live in good neighbourhoods with little or no crime, so they no longer see the need for prayer.
⭕️Have a correct revelation of prayer.
⭕️If prayer for you is for getting things, when things come, you will backslide.
⭕️Whatever God said you were born to do may not become a reality if you don’t pray.
⭕️One of the reasons Jesus went to the mountain to pray was to activate the purpose of God upon His life.
Jeremiah 33:3, Isaiah 38:1-2, 5
⭕️It takes an agent of the devil to proclaim the intentions of the devil for those intentions to happen amongst the people.
⭕️It also takes an agent of God to declare the intentions of God.

⭕️What we call faith in the bible is actually attached to honour.

⭕️When you have faith in God, you respect God enough to believe that He will do what He says He will do.

⭕️Not everyone can be trusted and not everyone can be taken at their word.

⭕️If a two-year old child says they will kill you, you will not take that threat as seriously as you would if it came from an adult.

⭕️Honour is a law in the spirit that makes things move in your direction (Hebrews 7:7).

THE BENEFITS OF HONOUR

1.AN INHERITANCE IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH HONOUR (Genesis 27:3-4)

⭕️It is a system of transfer of things from one person to another.

⭕️A father can choose not to give an inheritance to one of his children based on their behaviour.

⭕️Dishonour cuts you off from an inheritance while honour puts you in line to receive the inheritance.

2.IT BRINGS ABOUT MULTIPLICATION (Proverbs 3:9-10, Luke 17:16-19)

⭕️Wherever there is honour, multiplication is straightforward.

3.HONOUR BRINGS SECURITY (1 Samuel 2:30)

⭕️The purpose of authority is three-fold: security, promotion and favour.

⭕️The authority you don’t honour cannot promote you.

⭕️The authority you don’t honour cannot cover you.

4.HONOUR BRINGS ABOUT FAVOUR (Esther 4:16, 5:2-4, 1:1-12, 2 Samuel 15:2)

⭕️It is the authority you honour that can favour you.

⭕️God is honoured when He is believed and trusted.

⭕️When you honour God you receive honour back, and when God honours you there is no door that cannot open for you.

⭕️Mark those who do not want to celebrate with and mourn with you.

⭕️Honour will give you access to a place and keep you long in that place.

⭕️Dishonour is exit.

⭕️Remember who helped you.

⭕️Remember those who blessed you.

WHO SHOULD WE HONOUR?

1.GOD (1 Samuel 2:30, Matthew 6:33)

⭕️Prioritise God.

⭕️Spending quality time in prayer and the word is honouring God.

⭕️Obeying and trusting God is honouring Him.

2.HONOUR SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES (1 Samuel 18:5)

⭕️There are gates in heaven for protocol.

⭕️If you  dishonour the system, the system will take  you out.

3.HONOUR YOUR PARENTS (Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:16, Ephesians 6:2)

⭕️Obey and respect your parents.

⭕️Give them something to show you value them.

⭕️Long life is in honour.

4.HONOUR SPIRITUAL LEADERS (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)

⭕️You are not honouring them because of their personality or the way they dress but because of their work.

⭕️They are appointed by God to do what they are doing.

5.HONOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS (Romans 13:1-2, 1 Peter 2:17)

⭕️Some people’s curses are because of dishonour to government officials.

6.HONOUR YOUR BOSSES AT WORK (1 Peter 2:18, Genesis 16:9)

⭕️Dishonour will make your work difficult and you risk losing your job.

⭕️One of the proofs of honour is adaptation.

⭕️Your ability to adapt shows you have honour.

7.HONOUR YOUR SPOUSE (WIFE OR HUSBAND) (1 Peter 3:7, Ephesians 5:33, Matthew 12:34)

⭕️Dishonour can hinder prayers.

⭕️Words are like water that is poured on the ground.

⭕️Pride, offense and familiarity breed dishonour.

⭕️Are you able to compose yourself when you’ve been offended?

⭕️What you say when you are offended is the truth that is in your heart.

⭕️Think before you speak.

8.RESPECT ELDERS (Leviticus 19:32)

⭕️Those who are older than us deserve to be honoured.

HOW DO YOU HONOUR?

1.THROUGH RESPECT (1 Sam 14:22)

⭕️Speak and act respectfully.

2.OBEDIENCE (John 14:21)

3.Giving (Malachi 1:6-7, Proverbs 3:9-10)

4.THROUGH WORDS OF THANKSGIVING AND ADMIRATION

⭕️To say “thank you” is honour and to be ungrateful is dishonour.

5.THROUGH SERVICE (Philippians 2:21-22, Deuteronomy 28:47, Mark 6:5)

⭕️Honour God by serving Him with your efforts, resources, talents and time.
