CONNECTING WITH FAVOUR THROUGH FASTING
Est 5:2
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.
KJV
Fasting is a powerful tool in the Kingdom of God. It is not a religious affliction, but a spiritual weapon designed to guarantee your victory in every battle of life.
The lack of understanding of this Kingdom key called FASTING has made a lot of Christians to lose their inheritance. Fasting is God's command and it is designed to empower the children of God for a cheap victory. Matt. 17:21.
Esther is a jew and a queen in the land of Shushan. She was a slave girl who became the Queen of the land. A decree was issued that all the Jew would be slain at a given date. She had to intervene, but there was a law in the land that you don't appear before the king unless you were sent for, meanwhile, it is only the king that can Intervene. Esther 4:16.
"This kind goeth not forth but by Prayer and Fasting". I suppose, Esther remembered that Scripture and asked Mordecai to organize the Jews to fast for her. She needed a favour to be able to stand before the king since she was not sent for. The law had to be suspended for her to have access to the King. Her beauty could not give her access, her status as the Queen could not give her access, but, Prayer and Fasting gave her access.
Our text, Esther 5:2 says,
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.
KJV
God is a master planner. On the third day of her fast, God positioned the King. He was on his Royal throne in his Royal house facing the entrance of the house, so that it will be easy for him to see Esther in her full regalia as a Queen. Esther 5:1.
No matter how difficult it physically seems, when Fasting is added to Prayer, the solution is inevitable.
Favour is so powerful that it can cancel poverty, death, frustration, struggling e.t.c. That office where you are working and you have been stagnant for long, what you need is favour. Your financial state requires favour, that stagnated business needs favour, in that death plot what you need is favour, you'll just discover that one of those among the plot will just start defending you saying that NO, this man should not die. WHY? God just put your favour in his heart.
