Because the fiber with the King. And so when God puts his hand on

favour upon your life, some things begin to happen that you

could not make happen by yourself.

Doors open, opportunities show up out of nowhere, people begin

to notice you. OK, not because of how great you

are, but because of how great your God is.

Can you say I mean somebody Amen.

And so favor with the king. This is a word that God gave me.

And I'm going to read our key verse today from the book of

Esther chapter 2. So let's turn to Esther chapter

Esther 2 · chapter mention Esther 2 · chapter mention

2. That's our key verse and we're

just going to read from verse 17.

It says there now the king was attracted to Esther more than

any of the other women and she won his favor.

Everybody say favor and approval.

Let's just pray together. Father, we thank you for this

moment. We thank you that you brought us

together in your presence. Holy Spirit, have your way flow

in this place. Anoint me, speak through me,

anoint this message. Lord, I pray, let this not just

be a sermon, but an encounter with the King in the mighty name

of Jesus and let the church charge.

Amen. And so is the story is not just

about a girl who became a queen, It's more that it's God's favor.

It's about God's favor, purpose and calling, okay, the courage

of God. And so Esther, as we know the

background, she was an orphan and she was raised by her cousin

Mordecai, and she was raised by car in a foreign land, okay?

Now Esther, she didn't come from a a welfare famous family, she

was not born in while she was not born into royalty, but she

was an orphan raised by her cousin in a foreign land.

And so looking at her circumstances, looking from the

outside, who would have guessed that she, Esther, often girl,

would become queen? And so here's the truth, very

powerful truth. God doesn't need a perfect boss.

God doesn't need a perfect background.

OK, God is not looking for a long list of achievements.

God is looking for someone who say, yes, I am available.

Can you say I meet somebody Hallelujah.

And so I love that song. I'm available.

That is just amazing, powerful song.

I'm available. And so Esther, she didn't try

and force her way into the palace.

She didn't try and impress somebody.

But the Bible says that favor found her Hallelujah.

Somebody shown Hallelujah. OK.

Because I believe that is a word for somebody here today that God

is about to find. God's favor is about to find you

too. Can you send me somebody?

Now? You may feel ordinary, OK?

You may feel like that you are not good enough or you may feel

that you have been overlooked. But God loves to use people who

doesn't feel very qualified. God takes the ordinary post

every ordinary day. He takes that and he turns it

into the extraordinary. And he does extraordinary things

through his people, I mean. And so let me just give you a

quick picture here of what favour looks like.

OK, Imagine, Imagine and sitting at an airport and so he's just

got a regular ticket and he says, but no like extras or, you

know, upgrades or any of that. And then here comes a staff or

someone from an airline walks up to him and just ask him, excuse

me, Sir, can I go? May I see your boarding pass?

And so suddenly, just after a few moments later, they tell

you, listen, you have been upgraded to 1st class, nice

legroom, first class. OK, He did not pay for, he did

not ask for it. He did not pay extra for it, OK?

He did not do anything special to get first class to be

upgraded. That's favour.

That's what our God does. Come on somebody, let's keep a

surprise because that's what God does.

That's the favour of God. God upgrades your life.

OK, now you may feel like you are in the back of the queue on

the back of the road. You may feel like forgotten or

nobody notices you appreciate you.

But when the king calls your name, Oh my God, everything

shows. Everything.

Everything changes when the king calls your name.

Somebody did not some place in this place.

Listen, you don't have to push your way forward.

You don't have to try so hard to be noticed because God already

sees you. And like Esther, like this man

at the airport, favour finds you.

And you say, I mean somebody Hallelujah, so dead ready.

Because when it is your time, God knows how to upgrade your

seat. God knows how to move you and

shift you into places that you never thought you'd be.

Hallelujah. Somebody shout, hey man, I feel

favour in this place. Oh my God, I feel this anointing

of favour in this place. Can you say Amen this And

something is about to happen. The season in your life is about

to shift. OK, You will see this about you

will be upgraded. Can you say?

I mean, if you receive that somebody showed Hallelujah with

birds of praise. Let's celebrate if you are

ready. Who's ready for an upgrade?

Who's ready for favour? Hallelujah.

No way to God. Tell your neighbor.

Get ready for your upgrades. Get ready for your upgrades.

Get ready for your upgrade. Are you ready for your upgrade?

Somebody you ready for it? Yeah.

Hallelujah. Praise God.

Can we go deeper? OK, now I want you to get this

word today, because before Haman even ever started his wicked

scheme to destroy God's people, God had already put history

place. My God, I feel the anointing.

Yet before the enemy even plotted, before the enemy even

formed the weapon, God had already released fibre ahead of

the enemy. Somebody saw Hallelujah, God

already released. It is a God's never liked.

God is not surprised. God's not stressed.

He doesn't panic when the enemy starts moving.

No, God is not in reaction. He's already orchestrating.

He's already one step ahead. Oh my God, I feel the noise in

somebody. So before there was a threat,

there was favour. Now Esther, I mean, she didn't

know what was coming. OK, she didn't know she's at a

palace, but she didn't know what was coming.

So yes, God, and he places Easter in the palace before the

fridge before the attack, places her in the palace for such a

time as this. He plays Easter in the right

time, in the right place, with the right purpose for such a

time as this. Now let me tell you, this

morning, Favour will find you before the battle shows up.

Favor will find you before the struggle, before the sickness,

before the heartbreaking, before the challenge.

Favor, God had already gone ahead of you.

God had already. God is already in your future.

It's already you. Tomorrow, it's already instead.

Hey, Hallelujah. And so God has already gone

before. He's already lined up to help.

He's already prepared the answer even before the attack, even

before there's a challenge. Hallelujah, are you getting

this? Somebody can I preach this this

morning. Hallelujah.

Call it to God, because that was God prepares the victory already

before the battle. Shoja, are you getting this?

Listen, the victory is already in motion.

It's already planned, it's already there.

Listen, you ought to get this ought to give you peace right

here, right now, to know that favour has already been

releasing your tomorrow fiber is already in your toe.

God has already gone before you. He's already a hey, listen,

here's what I want you to catch here this morning.

The bottom line is God is always a step ahead of the enemy.

Can you shot somebody? Can you shot Hallelujah,

Hallelujah because God is ahead of the enemy.

He's ahead of the fray. He's ahead of the attack of the

difficulty. Now some of you, you may be

walking through a difficult situation, a struggle, or a

challenging situation right now. Maybe it is your health, maybe

it's in your family. Maybe it's you feel that your

finances feel tight or your peace feels shaken and you are

saying, God, I did not see this coming.

I did not see this challenge coming.

I did not see this trouble coming, but God did, and God

better just sit. He has already made a way out.

He's already made a way of escape.

He's already prepared the answer and the victory.

Hallelujah, because favour is already in place.

Hallelujah. God have already put Easter in

the palace before the enemy of time, before the freak came.

Can you sign in somebody? But you might not understand

fully everything that you're going through or the challenges

or the difficulties that you might be going through.

But maybe it doesn't look like the palace, but it looks like

more like confusion. It looks more like a challenge

and a struggle and a waiting. And you're thinking, why the

season Lord? Why this place?

Why this path? Why do I have to cut?

But just remember Esther in the palace, she did not fully

understand in at the beginning. She didn't fully understand all

of it right away. Esther did not understand why

she was chosen. She wasn't awful all of a sudden

she becomes queen. So she didn't understand.

She did not see a hit what was coming.

Okay, and so she did not know, but when the moment came, she

was ready. She was ready because favour had

gone before her. And so when you carry the King's

favour, when you carry and you walk in God's favour, no battle

is too big. Come on, somebody, no enemy is

too strong, no situation is too impossible.

Somebody shout Hallelujah. Come on, get this word today,

Trish, when you walk in favor, there's no difficult that's to

impossible, no situation, Hallelujah.

And so Revelation verse 8 it says here, Revelation 3 verse 8,

Revelation 3:8

it says, see, I have placed before you an open door that no

one could already before you. God has already gone into your

future. It's already gone before you.

It's opened the door already. So when God's favor is on your

life, you don't have to force the door open.

God will open it and when God's opened the door, nobody can shut

it. No man, no devil, no delay can

shut or close it because God's favour has opened the door.

Come on, somebody shot Hallelujah.

Nobody can stop it. And I'm here to declare that you

are stepping into favour. You are stepping into favour

that opens doors for you. That is an override obstacles.

You are stepping into favour. That is unstoppable.

Somebody shot Hallelujah promo somebody.

It's a favour in this place. There's an anointing in this

place that is unstoppable. Somebody Hallelujah.

So here's a powerful truth that I wanted to get this morning.

You don't have to chase favour. You just have to chase God.

You don't have to run off the titles or platforms or applause.

You know, you just run after the presence of the king.

Yeah, Ron, he said. The presence of the king.

OK. So much time that we spend these

days in trying to get the right people to notice us.

We are trying to impress, networking, climbing ladders.

But we forget that favour does not come from man, it doesn't

come from that. Favour comes from the fro.

Favour comes from the presence of God.

Favour. God is a king and he gives

favour, He promotes. When God opens the door, nobody

can shut it. Hallelujah, somebody.

And so the closer that you get to Jesus, the more doors open,

wide open. Let's swing wide open, the

closer we get to Jesus, OK? And so the more you spend time

and the closer you get to Jesus, the more heaven will start

speaking your name, OK? And so the more that you sit at

his feet in his presence, door starts out opening up for you.

Amen. Hallelujah.

Now I want to share with you something about very important

the process of preparation, OK? Because before Esther was

crowned, OK, she went through preparation.

The Bible says in fact, she went through a 12 month preparation,

right? And so here she's going for the

preparation, soaking in oil. And so it's all there bathing in

fragrances, learning the royal protocol, OK?

She did not rush through the process that barged into the

courts, OK? Because there's the protocol.

And this is says there was anointed and she was appointed.

That's how God works, OK, God will through a preparation

process, OK. And so he prepares you in

private before he promotes you in public that you get that, OK,

So that's where he prepares you. So he builds you stronger in the

secret place so that you strong enough to stand in the

spotlight. OK, You get that church,

Hallelujah. Praise God, now we're getting

somewhere because you might feel like you are in hiding.

You might feel like if you've been overlooked, but you mean

the hiding seasons, those are holy seasons, right?

And so God sees your secret prayer time.

He sees the tears, He sees the sacrifice, He sees the

obedience. OK.

And what he's saying is this. And I am getting you ready for

something greater is coming. So through this time of

preparation, get ready because Esther didn't soak in the oil

just for her beauty. Esther soaked in the oil for

consecration. OK, because the will marked her,

the will set her apart. Now will in the Bible is

symbolic representation of the anointing of the presence.

Are you with me? Chose of the presence of the

Holy Spirit. So if you spend time long enough

in the presence of God in the anointing, the anointing marks

you, the anointing sets you apart.

It's the flow of oil. It's in the secret place where

the anointing comes upon your life and the oil starts flowing.

And all of a sudden, if you spend time in God's presence

long enough in a soaking environment where you soak the

oil of the anointing, you begin to change.

You begin to speak differently. You begin to walk the Frankie.

You begin to talk, OK. You begin to walk like royalty,

OK, not because of your credentials or your profession,

but because you have been in the presence of a king.

Somebody shine, Hallelujah. Shine Hallelujah, Righty, Jesus,

Hallelujah. I feel like preaching in this

place. Glory be to God.

I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost in this place.

Oh, Hallelujah. Come on.

Shit. We have to got to go all the way

in. We've got to get in the secret

place. Get soaked, get saturated, get

the oil, get oily. Come on, get oily.

We, we soak in the Princess, we get the weather.

The Holy Ghost, the Princess of God, Jesus said Matthew 6 verse

Matthew 6:6

6. But you when you pray, go into

your room and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father

who is in the secret place, and your father who sees in secret

will reward you openly. I mean, somebody that's a secret

place, the secret place, that's where the oil flows, the secret

place, that's where the flavour flows.

Don't skip the secret place. The enemy will try to do

everything to pull you out of the secret place with

destructions, OK? Mobile phones, social media

busyness, trying to wear us down through discouragement to get

out of the secret. Listen, The secret place, that's

one of my principal, my first I that's the first thing I do when

I wake up in the morning. I get in the secret place before

I see anybody. Before breakfast.

Come on before coffee. That's the very first thing I do

is I get in the secret place. First secret place.

If you make the secret place your first place, favour will

follow you in every other place. My God, I feel the Hallelujah.

That is my secret, the secret place.

I tell you, you get in that secret place and the well,

you've sucked that well, the pressures of God and you walk

out there. Bird is lifted, chains broken

off you, you feel uplifted because you've had time with a

king, that flavour is all over. You get saturated, get soaked.

Spending time. That's what I in the secret

place. I make time for that, sit at the

feet of Jesus. I go for nature walks, talk to

the Lord. That is key somebody so public

favour always follows the private time, private

faithfulness with the Lord. Look at Joyce Meyer before the

millions of people, before the crowds, before the platforms,

before the 1st. A small group of Bible study in

allows in the living room. Joyce Meyer before the big

crowds in her home. Sounds like reading Home group.

Yeah, small Bible study group. Yeah, it's happening.

OK. No crown that she was just a

Joyce, my small group. No applause, no cameras, just

faithfulness. She did not need the spotlight,

Joyce, my city. She just needed the secret

place. That one-on-one time before she

stood before the nations. She stood before God privately,

Privately one-on-one with the King before the nations that

one-on-one time and we see this year heaven was preparing Joyce

Meyer while she was sharing in her home, handful of people

sharing heaven was preparing and so the time was right.

Fable found her don't despise small beginnings that one-on-one

time with the Lord. That's the number one before

ministry, before, before Job, before the his number one

church. He deserves our time.

Now I'm a morning person. I get up first thing in the

morning and I'm out. I go sit by the lake and I talk

to him. And you have a conversation with

the Lord and you spend time in the second.

Your secret place can be anywhere.

You find a place alone. Yeah.

I have to get out of the house because I've got three children

and three kids are very busy. So I get up real early when the

sun comes up and I see the deer, I see the nature, I listen to

nature and I spend time with a king one-on-one time.

Don't skip the secret place. Now, maybe you are in a quiet

season. Maybe you're in a quiet.

Am I still on? Yeah.

I don't know, treat this or not. So I got this all test 1-2.

OK, we're back. So maybe you're in a season.

And what the season that you in? You are raising children,

raising your babies, changing nappies, clocking into a job, a

job that doesn't feel very spiritual, OK?

You are serving behind the scenes in the background,

serving, giving, praying when no one notices.

But God notices, God sees, OK. And So what looks like ordinary

every day down here is being recorded what seems like

ordinary everyday jobs. What we is being recorded in

heaven. OK.

And so heaven is watching what we are doing in the season.

Heaven is watching how and what you are stewarding in the

season, how you steward what you're doing.

And the same God who prepared Esther to stand before a king,

the same God is preparing you to stand into an A place of

influence. God is preparing you to stand in

a place of influence, whether it's in the government, in the

politics, where the the days and swear level of influence that

God gives, he's preparing you to stand before people of

influence. OK, in a place of influence, I

mean, and so I want to show you this in let's go to chapter 5.

Is the chapter 5? Is this OK?

Are you getting something? OK, Can I teach this this for a

bit? And then we'll go into preaching

again because I just want us to get this.

Let's go to the next one. Yes, because I want you to see

this. Just powerful.

Now, let me just give you the background.

So, Esther, this is where we are.

She had been prepared. But then after the preparation,

there comes a time where the preparation has to become

activation, right? OK.

And so then she couldn't just stay silent anymore and just sit

back and say maybe later. No, she had to take action.

OK. And that's what is the day.

OK, So there's a moment in your life when you have to step up

into what you have been born for.

I mean. And so that's what she did.

And she stepped out with full courage with boulders through a

time of preparation, soaking in the well, prayer and fasting.

Thank God for prayer and fasting.

How powerful it is and we're going to be so doing some

fasting as well. It's powerful when we put some

meals aside. It's very powerful starts

keeping breakfast. God people, if God puts on your

heart fast one day 230. She fasted for three days.

How powerful is that When we start fasting, Oh my God,

there's some deeper levels we breakthrough when we start

fasting. How many of you are ready for

some fasting? Put up your hand if you say yes,

Lord can. Can I see your hands if you say

you are committed for a season of fasting and prayer.

OK, because church, I believe God is speaking to us when God

is putting on your heart to fasten to pray.

We go deeper. I mean and so that's what she

did and she stepped in with full courage into the courts.

Now the Bible says in Easter 51 on the third day knows after

fasting put on her well robe. She stood in the inner quarter

palace and in front of the King's hall.

The king was sitting on his roof round in the hall, facing the

entrance. When he saw Queen Esther

standing in the court, he was pleased with her.

There's the fighter and he held out her, the cold setter that

was in his hand Now that setter, that means you're welcome, you

have access, you have authority. The setter is a symbol of

favour. Yeah, OK.

The scepter represents what Jesus did for you on the cross

when he, when he stretched out his hands on the cross and he

said it is finished. That is your invitation to

divine favor. That is your, that was, that's

your invitation. That's your access into favor.

That's your access when Jesus, that's your acts into the

presence of God. Hallelujah, somebody praise God

and I just love the fact that you know, I just read this the I

don't know. I was like when I was preparing

for this. I'm like Lord, this is amazing

because then Esther and it's it's in the next verse.

I love what she did. She walked up and she touched

that sip that my God, I saw that woman with the issue of blood.

She pressed through the crowds and she touched Jesus and Kong,

she cuts him. She touched him, she touched

him. Oh my God, that's the seven for

another day. But I just want you to get that

because the Bible says come boldly.

She touched him. Oh my goodness.

Hebrews 416. Then I put that in Hebrews 416.

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence.

So we can't both lots of pizza are boldly with confidence, with

full courage. We walk in there, listen like

you belong because you belong there, OK?

Not because of your perfection, but because of his blood.

Hallelujah, somebody come on. It goes off his blood.

And so when the king extended that sitter, he gave her

permission, he granted access, and he gave her a voice because

that's what fiber does. Fiber gives you a voice.

Fiber doesn't just get you in the room.

Fiber gives you a voice in the room.

Yeah, that's it Gives you a vote.

Yeah. Favour doesn't just open the

door, but once you're in it, it gives you influence in it.

It gives you influence in the room.

That's what favour will do. It gives you a voice.

I mean somebody. And so I prophesied today over

you that God is rising up, man in weapon that will speak with a

voice of authority. God is rising up, Estes, in this

generation. People will speak with all this

who will stand up, OK for freedom of speech in this

country, in our nation. And we will stand in rise and we

will not be silenced. We will stand up and we will

speak. We will say what God says.

We will be bold. Come on somebody, Hallelujah.

We will speak with boldness. We will speak with the courage

of God. We will stand up strong like

Easter for such a time as this. I mean, yeah, when God is

calling you to stand up, that's the moment God is calling people

to rise up in this hour right now, to speak in boardrooms, to

go speak in governments. God is raising people up to go

and speak in classrooms, to go into hospitals, to speak.

Yeah. To speak in offices, in the

streets, outdoors are reaching out.

You speak to stand up not because of fancy words or

because we're eloquent of speech, no, but because of the

hand of God is mighty upon your life.

Come on somebody, It's not about an accent or a wages speak or

eloquent of. It's about the hand of God is

upon your life. The favour of God is upon your

life. Hallelujah, praise God.

And so Easter, she didn't just weigh that crown just to enjoy

the luxury in the palace. She didn't just wear the crown

just to enjoy the comforts of the palace.

She didn't receive that that favour to sit and look pretty

and sip from golden cups, OK? She was not called for comfort,

she was chosen for a cause, OK? Listen, favour is not for flash,

it's for function. It's not about status, it's

about service. That's what it's about.

And so this is what Esther understood that deep inside of

us should have listened. This favor that is on my life

isn't just for me to sit here in the palace and look fancy and

pretty and all all bought it. It wasn't the status.

The favor that she realized was on her life was to fulfil at the

fine purpose. Somebody shot Hallelujah, That's

where he was. The favor was for purpose right

there. And because when God opens the

door on your life, when God places favor on your life, it's

not just for your own benefit. But if this was somebody else's

breakthrough, that's the reason. The favour of God, for some to

lift others are to rescue other people, somebody else,

Hallelujah. Look at Latisha Wright,

Hollywood actress, award winner. She did not bend down to the

pressure of that industry. She as an actress in Hollywood,

she did not bow down to that industry or compromise her

faith. She kept her faith and God

opened the door and she uses that platform in the Hollywood

to preach Jesus to the world. She pray and millions of young

people have heard the gospel because of one woman said I will

not be silent even if Hollywood tells me keep it to yourself

because that's what she did and she even declined some roles,

acting roles because of her ethics and her beliefs.

That is bothers. One woman said, I refuse to be

silent and they say you got to keep it to yourself, which is I

will refuse to be silent. They are not going to shut us

up. Church is not the time to be

silent. We got a rise in bothers,

Hallelujah. And so let me know.

Listen, you don't need a mic to have an impact.

You don't need a microphone to have an impact.

Listen, your office is your pulpit, your prisoners.

That's your mission field. The people you're talking to

every day. That's your mission field.

OK. The classroom, the hospital

ward, the cafe that is your palace.

Hallelujah. You understand what I'm saying?

Just because you have been placed there in the office, out

in the world, you have been placed there for such a time as

this. Yes, it's for such a time as

this. Somebody now it's the 414.

It says one of the famous verses.

And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for

such a time as this. Easter wasn't crowned to wear a

robe and just to look. Britain, enjoy the conference of

OK. She was crowned to rescue a

nation, to save a nation. You have been favoured in your

job today. God has opened that job for a

purpose. My God, when I worked in Bristol

and I was a manager, retirement manager, I said, God, I had such

wonderful opportunities. My office was my deputy manager.

That was my pulpit. It started there before even,

yeah, long before really, I was sitting down in my days ministry

to people, to some of the wealthiest elderly people in the

UK. Check it out to Monica Trust.

It's a retirement, one of the most affluent retirement

villages in the UK. There's a 10 year waiting list.

I was the first point of contact.

I had opportunity to share the gospel with the most incredible,

wealthiest people and God saw that God's like, what are you

doing with the opportunity that's right in front of you

with that disk right there. And so now let's not forget

about Mordecai. It's this cousin, because he was

a faithful, honourable man and he raised Easter and you know

Mordecai, he saw and he overheard the enemy's black and

he was full of faithfulness and integrity.

And while Heyman plotted wicked skin, there's Mordecai.

Now listen, it looked like Heyman with his wicked skin to

destroy God's people. It looked like he was, he had

all the power. Let me just tell you, God is

still in control. God is still in control.

OK. And the king, you know the story

how he had a sleepless night. I love how God used the

sleepless night, how God used insomnia and he shifted the

entire situation. You know the story the king read

about Mordecai tantapages. Oh, and he read about the kind

act of royalty that Mordecai and the king himself realized.

Mordecai has not been rewarded. And like that overnight.

Mordecai, somebody that's been overlooked sitting at the gate

outside, like I forgot. God promoted over his enemy

over. Hey, man, come on.

Come on, somebody. Hallelujah.

That's the kind of a reversal that God can only pull off.

OK? Come on.

So don't stress when it feels like you've been ignored.

Don't stress or panic when you've not been recognized or

you feel overlooked or you're not getting the credit because

God sees. And let me tell you something

about God that ties in with the story.

God never sleeps. God never slumbers.

God is working. It never start working.

Thank God he's up in his way like well, we actually.

God is planning a good future. He's planning your reward.

Your Mordecai moment is coming. Your moment of promotion is

coming. The king is turning the page at

your moment. God is the reward is coming.

Your reward is coming. Somebody shout Hallelujah,

baseball. That's right.

Just stay faithful. Just stay humble.

Just stay obedient. Your mammoth is coming.

And so listen, this is where it now gets.

I want to show you this because the way the rubber hits are out

where Esther had to make the decision, am I going to stay

silent and just hash it under the carpet?

Am I just going to shrink back because Monarch has just dropped

the bomb on me? He just told me the enemy's

plans. Am I just going to ignore it?

Am I going to shrink back and just enjoy the luxury of his

palace or am I going to risk it all and it's going to cost it

will be a it gets she knew it. Am I going to risk it all loser

and fulfill my assignment? So that's your choice.

Am I going to stay silent or And I'm going to speak up and step

out boldly. And you know, Mordecai, you

didn't sugarcoat it. He told her the truth.

But in love he said, listen, Esther, if you are going to stay

silent in this moment, first of all, God will find help

somewhere else. And that is a shocking, sobering

warning for us. If we don't go out and reach

this, the lost God will find somebody else.

If we don't go to the Peel Centre, if we don't reach out to

where we are, God will get the job done and he will find

somebody. If it's now when it comes to

giving, if God is putting on your heart to give, to show, to

minister, to reach out, to pray for somebody, if we don't, God

will find somebody, he won't get the job done.

OK, God is God, he's your so unlike Lord.

What a sobering fault. Please, I don't want to message

because this is what Mordecai told me.

He said this. And if you're going to be silent

right now, help will come for because God will always protect

his people. But he said to her, Esther, you

will miss out, you and your family will perish.

That is sobering. That's hard, real hard talk.

OK, the truth, but in love. And I want I want you to read

this because it reminds me, you know, God revealed to Catherine

Kuhlman she was not his first choice.

God had already asked 3-4 other guys to take on the healing

ministry and they all declined it.

When God came to Katherine Kuhlman because she knew it's

going to cost her everything. It's going to cost her because

we have to die to the flesh. It's going to cost everything.

Katherine Kuhlman, she received that healing in the same.

It is that healing anointing. So the other said no.

So God's like, I've got to find somebody else.

OK, Now I'm going to come to this person.

Do you want a healing ministry? Can I?

No, I'm going to go to this person.

But God will get the job done because they're sick people that

needs to be healed. And he dropped on a woman who

said, oh, the Holy Spirit. Catherine Kuhlman grabbed that

anointing. What many others said no, God

will come to you and he will ask you and he will give you.

He said this is your moment, this is your time, Are you going

to do it yes or no? And we are available.

I don't want God to bypass us to find somebody else because the

end time harvest will come in. OK, now watch this because this

is very sobering. It says, for if you remain

silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will

arise from another place, but you and your father's family

will perish. And who knows but that you have

come to your royal position for such a time as this.

OK, so he dropped the bombshell on Easter and he said this in

Easter. Don't become so comfortable in

your life. Don't become so comfortable in

this luxury, this good life here in the palace that you actually

forget what's your purpose, OK? Don't think that this moment is

random. Don't think that you are just

here by accident, OK? You notice your vibes.

You have been placed this an Ester.

You have been placed here by heaven for such a time as this.

Come on, somebody listen. That's the work that I want to

release over you today, That this favor is not random.

It's not a coincidence. It's not an accident.

OK. That the.

You'll notice. Yeah.

By chance, you are. Yeah.

Destined by God. God's design, God's choosing,

that's why you are here for such a time as who knows that you

have come to your position, to your job, to your family, your

neighborhood, your place of influence for such a time as

this. OK?

So listen church, this is a sobering warning.

Don't miss it, OK? Don't 3 back.

Don't silence your voice when God asks you to rise and shine

and speak up and tell the world about the Lord because God don't

want us to three back because he's placed you in that position

to shine, OK? He's placed something on your

life that he wants to release through you into the lives of

others, OK? So that favour that's on your

life, that blessing, that's on your life, OK?

It's not just for you, but it's for somebody else's miracle.

It's also for somebody else to lift others up.

Amen. So let me talk to you about to

somebody who's been asking about your calling.

Why am I here? What am I supposed to do?

What's my purpose, the calling that God has placed my

assignment. If you've been struggling and

asking God about purpose and you've been wrestling about

direction, one of the ways that God will reveal your assignment

is look where he the areas where he's already given you

influence. Looking around in your life

where he's already opened the door, where he's already given

you a job, a situation, a person, that relationship is

already open. That that is look where God has

given you opportunities. What God keeps on putting in

your hand those opportunities, those gifts.

Look at that places of influence, that places of favour

because those people in your life, those job opportunities,

those say that's not coincidence.

OK, that is divine confirmation, that is direction.

So just look where God has got you, the place that he's given

you right there, OK? Even is the she realized that

this is the very place that I am in, right in the palace.

Goddess. I mean, I from an orphan to a

queen and she's a foreigner and God put her in the palace.

She realized the place where God has placed me, this that's where

God wants to use me. Amen.

No, I remember one of our very first members going back now 7-8

years when we started the church, OK.

I've always used the opportunities that God has given

me. When it wasn't sports, I would

pray. We like, listen guys, you're

going to play rugby now let's pray.

When I would coach tenors, I say to the kids, listen, OK, let's

just let's pray every opportunity I get.

And so we were out in the park, we talk about Jesus and these

guys listen. Why don't you come and join us

for rugby? And so I played rugby and I had

this conversation with this one guy in the rugby and the leading

to the Lord. I got on fire for God.

It was our first judge member. Listen, Ma, that also really my

pulpit, OK? My pulpit is not just younger

son wherever I go, it's just it flows.

You cannot stop what's on my life.

You cannot stop it, OK, I'm in a grocery store in the park,

wherever I am and sounds like listen, you have to be so bold.

I'm like, Lord, sometimes you know, I I cannot stop, but to

share, OK and talk to people. It flats out of me, OK, wherever

I am, OK. And Pastor Miss Charlotte, this

is we would go on holiday and we would just speak about the Lord

because that's who we are, OK? We are not secret agents hiding

somewhere in a closet the way I am, not ashamed of the gospel,

OK, Somebody rejects me. I know it's not personal.

OK, so that's already my pulpit right there.

I'm like, OK, God, I'm not going to wait for Sunday for church.

I'm going to go play rugby. That's my pulpit, right?

There's the first person and he got so on fire now he was

working at a school. Yeah, I'm back now.

And he, the fire got so powerful on him, he couldn't keep his

mouth shut and he would be in the school amongst the students.

And so he came to me. And so as a young Christian and

so he asked me past the world, but what about my purpose and

what about my calling now? Because I feel I'm so on fire

and I mean it's all over him. But you know, I want to be more

involved with like full time ministry.

But now I feel like I'm stuck in this school job.

So I prayed for him for direction, and something

shifted. Something.

Favor opened a door. The headmaster gave him

permission to pray for the students in the classroom.

OK, something, now we can. Oh my God, I've been anointing

in this place right there in the school in the classroom, revival

broke out students, children's hearts got touched, hearts got

healed. Lives were changed in this, not

in the pulpit, not on the Sunday church surface in the classroom

in the school. OK, that's where it's happened.

Listen to it. And he realized in that moment,

what is this is my calling, this is my purpose.

He's I I realized it. Listen, this is not just the

truth. So that when he came that school

job, that job like that, that's his pulpit, that's his calling,

that's his assignment. And that's what he realized that

that school hallway, that was holy ground right here.

And so he had been placed in that school for such a time as

this, in that job, and he got open the door to pray for the

children. And he would come back with

testimony himself every Sunday how God has touched the

children. And so if God had placed you

there, then that that's your, that's already sacred, that's

holy ground, that's your assignment.

Where you, that's your platform, that's your pulpit.

Right there in the office, right there going to the grocery

store, that's your pulpit. Walking amongst the grocery

store, beating people in the park, walking past through the

Lexicon shopping centre, right there, there is your pulpit.

That's your assignment. Going to the Peel Centre,

handing out for us, reaching out to community.

That's your pulpit. That is I've realized speaking

to your neighbor in the park, two people, that is holy ground,

that is sacred. That's your assignment.

Somebody you've been placed there to shine.

And so Esther had to take the risk.

She had to face fear. And she, I thank God she did not

stay silent. Thank God I did not have to find

somebody else. But he did it through Esther

because she spoke up. She went to the king.

She didn't play itself. And she stood out in boldness.

And she just said it. And it's in the word, if I

perish, I perish. And that's not a fierce, that's

not fear talking. In fact, if I die, I die.

That's that's boldness. That's actual boldness.

Counting the cost, let's say it will cost me everything.

I've been on tubes in London, in the trains, loud, without a

speaker. I get up, I introduce myself and

I say that's that there's about 5 minutes, you know the

underground tubes and I would preach and we know how to preach

the gospel and which I would tell them how Jesus loves you.

I would look both ways and I'd preach the gospel.

I'd get off bus station, train stations everywhere preach the

gospel. I'm not ashamed of the gospel.

I'm not ashamed because that's what we take to heaven with us

because when God called me, I said this and I know if it will

cost me because the guide was preached with me from Christ's

forgiveness managed in Canada. He ended up in prison.

They locked him up. I know that I said to my wife

before Pastor Michelle, he said this is this is my fault.

If I get erased it if I get listen, we count the cost.

If we have to die, we die. The end is coming.

We don't have long on this earth Church, we're not going to be

here for long. We are living in the end days.

I believe Jesus is coming back in this generation.

So there's work to be done. And so God is going to mobilize

each and every one of us. And I want you this week to

spend time in the book of Esther.

Let that fire come on you. Because listen, she knew if I

perish, I fail. But she understood that her

voice met it, that God has placed it in the palace for such

a time as this. And your yes to God will always

impact more than just you, because your obedience will

touch somebody else. Somebody else's deliverance is

tied to your obedience. OK?

And so are you getting this somebody?

Because I just want to go for this because go with me to

Esther Chapter 9. Because listen Hammond, when he

Esther 9 · chapter mention

released that decree of death over God's people, OK, it looked

like that everything was falling apart, that evil was stronger,

evil was in charge. It looks like this is it for the

for God's people. Their time has run out.

OK, the evil 1 had the upper hand and God's people were

outnumbered. But I just love this that God is

always ahead of the enemy. Grab that into your spirit

today. It says here in Esther 9 verse

one, it says on this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to

overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Jews

got the upbeat over those who hated them.

OK, now that's that's powerful. It says, and I want you to get

back. The tables were turned.

Get ready. Tables are about to be turned.

Come on, somebody what's against you is going to be turned.

What's been troubling you is going to be turned.

What's this next translation? This is the NIV.

What's this one? In the NKJV version, on the day

that the enemies of the Jews had hoped so, the enemies hoped to

overpower them, but they couldn't because the opposite

occurred. Come on, somebody, the enemies

thought the devil fault is going to crush God's people.

It was flip. Just the opposite occurred.

Just the opposite. Glory.

What the enemy meant for evil, God turned it for good.

That closed door is about to open wide.

It's about to swing wide open. Just the opposite.

I love that. Come on, somebody.

It's going to be just the opposite of what it looks like.

The very man Haman who tried to kill Esther's cousin Mordecai.

OK, he skinned, He lied. He plotted.

Haman, the guy who pulled the gallows to hang him high, What

happened? Just the opposite.

The gallows that he built for Mordecai.

He ended up hanging himself. Please, somebody get this word

today. The enemy ended up hanging

himself. He planned to get to God's

people. He planned to.

He ended hamming on his own gallows.

I'm here to tell you that the trip that whatever trap the

enemy has set for you, he's going to fall into his own trap.

Oh, my God. I want you to get this word.

Come on, Somebody. Hallelujah.

Whatever the enemy is planned against you or your family, he's

going to foil his own trap. Oh, my God.

I'll watch that. Tom and Jerry cartoons.

And this cat always says this job for the mouse.

But he is. I'm falling into his own traps.

Yeah. Yeah, his own traps, the enemy's

lies, accusations, plans, plots, whatever in the politics,

whatever it is to try and form weapons against God's people.

Listen, it's not going to work. Weapons may have been for.

It's not going to work. The freights, the weapons, the

allegations is not going to work.

It's going to backfire on the enemy.

It's going to fall in his ultra Psalm 50, it says you turned my

morning into dancing. There is God turned it around.

God turned the tables when God intervenes, He knows how to turn

it around. He turned the tables.

Tell your neighbor God turned the tables.

God turned the tables and so yeah, Mordecai did, it is not

just paid, but he was promoted over his enemy.

His enemy Haman fell in his own trap.

And so that is favour. That is a divide reversal.

Come on, somebody that is turn around.

And so I hear the Spirit of God is saying right now it's time

for your turn around. You are next in line for a turn

around. Now it might looks like the odds

are against you. It might looks like the

situation is impossible, but I'm yet to tell you that God is

turning the tables. God is turning the tables.

He's standing. Listen, God loves to turn the

tables. He turns the tables.

Yeah. And so instead she went from an

orphan to Queen Mordecai from the gate, from the from the gate

to the palace. And so God knows he's saying to

you today that listen, my son and my daughter, I'm turning the

tables. I'm turning the tables.

That's what God is saying. That's what he's like.

Listen, when fear says it's too late, you say, listen, I was

born for such a time as this. The Hallelujah and let me

prophecy over your life, the tables are turning and your

family and your finances. The tables are turning in your

health. The tables are turning in your

children and your family and your marriage.

The tables are turning and your career and your coworkers and

your boss. Wherever you are in the offices,

the tables are turning. The tables are turning for God's

people. He's favorite of God's people.

God is shifting the atmosphere. He's shifting the season, the

climate. This time the tables are

turning. In your finances, in your

health. Hallelujah.

If you grab hold of this word, your life will never be the same

again. Somebody shot.

The tables are turning. Come on, shout like you believe

it. The tables are turning.

The tables are turning. The tables are turning.

Yes, Hallelujah. You've got some price.

Somebody that is the God of reversal.

Get ready. These reversals that's been

released in your life, in your situation right now, in your

career. And so as we come to the end of

this message, favour releases victory.

And that victory that it just blessed Esther's life, but it

saved the nation. And so it says, chapter 8, verse

16. For the Jews, it was a time of

happiness and joy, gladness and honour.

Every province, every city, the king kind, there was joy,

gladness, money. We're feasting instead of the

tables. Can you see that?

That's what favour does. Favour brings victory.

Yeah. And so I began with theatre and

Feisty. What a turn around.

And they walked out in victory. And so you might be in a hard

place. You might be right in the middle

of the battle right now. But this is not the end of your

story. There is a new sound coming to

your house right now. There's angels at your house.

There is a new sound coming to your house.

Come on, somebody. There's a new sound coming to

your family. And it's the sound of

celebration. It's the sound of Troy.

It's the sound of feasting. It's the sound of victory.

Somebody showed victory, victory, Hallelujah, victory.

So in closing, I'm here to tell you that there is favour is on

you. The sector has been extended to

you, the King is smiling over you.

Hallelujah, somebody. Are you ready?

Because God is saying this is your Easter moment, this is your

moment right now. This is your hour, this is your

time. You were born for such a time as

this. I mean, let's all stand

together. Hallelujah, praise God and I yes

in a minute and right now under the sound of my voice, if you

are in this place and you've been walking through a season,

maybe it's a season of preparation like Ester, you are

on the verge on the threshold of something great of greatness.

You've been chosen for such a time as this for greatness and

the king is calling you. He's smiling on you.

He's sector is extended to you. He say come, you have access has

been granted to you and so right now you don't have to have it

all figured out. You don't have to have it all

together. All you need is a willing heart

and says yes, I am available Lord, because Jesus already made

the way he's already extended the center OK and he's blood

paid it. He's paid the price for you and

for me. He chose you.

He loves you, He calls you. And so he brought you into this

place, into this visitor, into this Kingdom for such a time as

this. And so if this word is stirring

in your heart today, this is your word.

And you are saying before God, like Esther, yes, Lord, I will

not be silent in this time, but I will speak up.

I will be bold. I will put my life on the line,

my career, whatever it is. I say yes to you if you're to

say, if you're ready to say yes, if you're ready to say this is

your moment of favour, favour with the king, then raise your

hand before the Lord. If you mean business with God,

God means business with you. And receive this prayer.

Father, we come before you. Just like Esther in the court

that said yes, Lord, we are saying yes.

We are saying yes to call yes to your fire right now.

Lord, I pray, let your favour fall on this congregation,

everyone under the sound of my voice, not just to lift us up,

but to lift others through US. I pray right now for boldness.

Let there be courage, Lord, boldness to rise.

That we would not be silent in the pilots, but that we would

speak the truth in law. Law.

That we would use our offices, the platforms for purpose.

Where there's been fear, release coverage.

Where there has been opposition, release a reversal.

Turn the tables, Lord. Turn the tables in families, in

marriages, finances. Lord, turn it right now.

Lord, I prophecy every person, Lord that has with enemies come

against. I pray let the enemy fall in his

own trap. Let the enemy fall right now.

Break off every addiction, every affliction.

Break it off every depression. Right now, break it off in the

name of Jesus. How is for it come?

What? Let the enemy fall in his own

trap. Let the enemy fall.

Let the enemy be crushed. Let the enemy be.

Put your flag right now. In the name of Jesus.

We the flag, the esters do rise. The monarch is to be promoted.

Lord, we say yes to the call of God.

We say yes. Lord, here we are.

Send us yes to your favor. And we declare it in the mighty

name of Jacob. A summary shot.

Hallelujah. Glory to God now I want us to

make some bold declarations out loud together.

Say I declare I am chosen for such a time as this.

The favour of God is resting on my life.

God is opening doors that no man can shut.

What the enemy made for evil, God is standing for my good.

I have found favour with the King.

I was born for such a time as this.

Somebody should Hallelujah, Glory beat you God, Glory beat

you God. So if you're in this place and

you've never given your life to Jesus, right now I want to give

you an opportunity. Or maybe you have drifted or you

feel your backslidden. You need to come back home.

This is your moment. Don't leave it for another day

or don't spend another minute outside the palace gates.

Come, God is calling you. The king is smiling of you is

safety is extended towards you. So if that's you and you're

ready to say yes to Jesus, just raise your hand right now before

the Lord is I see that hand. Anybody else that wants to say

yes, I want to come back. I want to be in the paddle where

God's blessed me. Anybody else I just pray

together. I invite Jesus to come into my

life to be my Lord and Savior. I defense of my sins come into

my heart. I give you my life only with

your spirit. From this day forward, I am

yours. Hallelujah.

Come on, somebody can God some grace.

Thank you Jesus.
