THE MONTH OF PURIM

Hello everyone! I believe that we have enjoyed the year so far and that we have all made use of the opportunities that God has brought our way this year bearing mind that, “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose”. So shall it be for us all in that we are fully grounded in the love of God and his mercy through our Lord Jesus Christ!

We are now in the third month and as we know that the tri-unity of God gives us an all round protection and victory through his grace and mercy bestowed on us all. In this month we shall begin our journey to that place where we have victory over every form of captivity holding us down. THIS IS THE TIME IN THE THIRD MONTH just as we read in the book of Esther 8:9; “Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language”. In this month the letters has been written in the blood of the Lamb and signed with the name of God as its seal, that in 2010 we shall rise together like a great army and stand against those devices and habits that want to destroy our joy even in that land that we have been held captive.

For the children of Israel were slaves in a strange land, a land in which they had no right to live as they will, with no say and no will of their own. They had left Egypt centuries back and now here they were in Persia and Medes, and even in captivity the enemy was not satisfied, he wanted them totally annihilated because he had put himself in the position where he had complete authority over them. So he bought a race so that they could be destroyed in the first month; “Esth 3:12 Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring”. The enemy wrote his letters and sent it out in the first month however in this third month you shall begin your journey to Purim a place of victory.

Let us remember that captivity is not just on the physical it has more to do with the spiritual, in every way that we have been slaves and been captive to alcohol, sex, lust, power, money, procrastination, pain, sickness, poverty, lies, and any form of vices or habits known to man that has not enabled you to move to your place of glory, hear today; GET READY TO STAND UP AGAINST THEM!!

We must be able to do 2 things to in preparation of this victory; first we must join Esther in prayer and fasting which we have done or else Mordecai would not have been remembered nor would he have been able to write the letter, second we must get ready to stand up against anyone that would lay their hands upon us. “Esth 9:2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.” We must gather together against anyone or vice that might want to lay hold of us to seek our hurt.

With the grace of God none shall be able to rise against us for the fear that would take hold of them would be great. In that place that we have been thought to be held captive we shall rule as Kings and Queens and have control.

PURIM IS ROUND THE CORNER, GET READY!!
