The intimate secret of power


Queen Esther had a need that only the King could fulfill…Her people will live or die, depending on her intercession…
As intimacy is the foundation of authority, Esther had doubts about the level of favor with the king. She forgot that the authority entrusted upon her at the coronation ceremony was for a life time. The crown is not just for beauty and honor. The cro…

wn means the authority to rule, to reign and to judge (Ps 9:7). It did not depend only on her emotions on her wedding day.
This is a lesson we have to learn as believers. We may not have heard a fresh word from God recently. Walk on the basis of the last word He spoke to you in the past. The word of the king is eternal. The assurance of salvation and the authority we have in Christ is also eternal.
Do you want to know Esther’s secret!!! She was a woman of God! She was a woman of the ‘ministry of the interior’ as some call it. She knew God and He made her into a true princess, or better said, a queen. It is not her beauty or her charm that made her to fulfill her destiny. It was God, the One whom she worships.
No one can withstand the man or woman who comes out of the furnace of the Spirit. Like Moses’ face who shone, no one can resist the power of the Spirit upon the one who is intimate with God.
‘You shall receive power with God and men once the Holy Spirit comes on you!’

    Esther’s story is always an inspiring one. I thank God for godly examples that we might yearn for more and desire more… I yearn for more of the anointing of Esther, worship in the secret that can change a nation. Powerful!
