Topic:FAVOUR UPROOTS OBSTACLES
Memorise: Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved
my spirit. Job 10:12
Bible Text: Zachariah 4:6-9
Bible in one year: Genesis 19:1-21:7, John 13:31-14:14
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 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.
