MEMORISE: Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved
my spirit. Job 10:12.
READ: Zachariah 4:6-9.
6.Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by
power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7.Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain:
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace,
grace unto it. 8.Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9.The
hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall
also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto
you.
In the journey of life, the enemy can place obstacles in the way of a man to
prevent the actualisation of his destiny. Zerubbabel was a man commissioned by
God to rebuild the ruins of
Jerusalem
and to restore the worship of God at His temple. The Word of the Lord concerning
this came expressly to him through several prophets and scribes, including
Zechariah, Haggai and Ezra (Haggi 1:1-2, Zechariah 4:9, Ezra 2:1-2). In spite
of these facts, the enemy still put difficulties along his way to prevent him
from fulfilling God’s divine destiny for his life (Ezra 4:3-5). However,
Zrubbabel found favour before God, and the unmerited favour of God was sent to
uproot the obstacles the enemy placed in his way (Zachariah 4:7). This season,
the Lord will remove every obstacle the enemy has placed in your way in Jesus’
Name. A particular sister trusting God for marriage attended one of our Holy
Ghost services, and a word came from God that there was a lady present, whose
mother was obstructing her from getting married. The Lord said if this mother
continued to stand in her way, she would die within a week. On getting home,
this lady told her mother the word she had heard from God. Her mother later
stormed angrily into my office saying: "You are the one teaching people
wrong things, and saying that I am going to die!” “When did I say that, mama?”
I asked. “My daughter returned from your programme and came to tell me so”, she
responded. To pacify her, I told her that I did not mention any names, and
added, “Don’t mind her. That is how they claim what does not belong to them. “Pacified,
she excused her daughter from my office. When we were both alone, she turned to
me and said “Pastor, is it true that the mother in question will die?” “Mama,
it is not you, but God’s word must be fulfilled. If the person in question
fails to release her daughter to be married, within seven days, she will be
buried”, I replied. She then confessed, “It is not that I don’t want her to
marry, but the challenge is that if she marries, who will take care of me? She
is the only one looking after me now.” I told her “Mama, if that is the issue,
there is no problem. I will tell her husband that whatever your daughter has been
doing for you before she was married should be sustained.” She then responded, “Alright,
she can marry.” Within a week, after several years of waiting, a man looked in
her direction and said she was the right woman for him. Today, the favour of
God will turn God’s search light in your direction and completely flush out
everyone standing between you and your expectations, in Jesus’ Name!
PRAYER POINT: Father, by Your favour, remove every obstacle frustrating the fulfilment
of my destiny.
