This word speaks to every Esther and David because you are in the world for a time such as this. God is expecting you to stand up in a time such as this. God set you up He knew you when you were in the womb.
This church MZM is not here to look cute we are here for the business of God. This church is not political we are a Holy Spirit church.
We are not political but we have a governmental anointing.
Our government needs to seek God’s guidance, He has been on the people’s side for the past 300 years, with Him on the people’s side we have no doubts or fears.
We must stand for God. He is still Lord over Barbados.
Esther 4:13-17
13 And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
17 So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.
You cannot hold your peace, we must do what we have to do, true Apostles speak out even though they are martyred. They crucified Jesus because of what he said. He spoke out.
1. There will always be a Haman and a Goliath
2. The word of God must be kept in focus
3. There must be a deliverer
4.The victory is always assures
We are prepared to march for the will of God in this island before the judgement of God falls on our region.
God is calling this nation back to His will. We have the world mixed up and messed up. Take God back into the workplace and school. Be proud of being a child of God, not gay pride!
1. There will always be a Haman and a Goliath
There was a Haman in the land. There are giants in the land let the David’s rise up. God is still alive and the Holy Spirit is still alive and working.
What came upon Esther? It was the Holy Ghost that anointed her.
The devil is a liar he came upon the church and calls it non essential during COVID.
MZM has been raised up for a time such as this to stand up against this new civil gay union.
Esther 3: 8-9
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”
We are those ‘certain people’. We have a different law we follow God’s laws. We are the moral minority that has the power of God and are crying out for Barbados. Don’t mistake our softness for weakness.
The devil wants to silence the church. Every time you see a Haman rise up it is always for destruction.
2. The word of God must be kept in focus
We must keep our eyes on God. Look at the ramifications of this move to legalize homosexuality, it opens a legal door for all the demons in hell to flood into our island.
David heard and asked is there no cause?
Remember what the Word of God says. I will be your God and you will be my people and He will dwell amounts us. He will supply our needs, we got here by people on their knees.
The Lord rebuke you Satan. Keep the promises of God in your focus.
Isaiah 6:9
6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
Revelation 21:3
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
A nation without God will perish. We want Barbados to be a place where the presence of God dwells, but we must acknowledge Him.
Proverbs 3:6
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
3. There must be a deliverer
Esther and David both came up against the giants.
1 Samuel 17:48
48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine
There must be someone prepared to charge towards the problem, not run away.
4. The victory is always assured.
And the same gallows that the devil is planning against you God will turn around
Proverbs 17:15
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
Stand against these laws in Barbados and we will celebrate. When you stand for God He will stand for you.
Esther 8:16-17
16 The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor. 17 And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.
We don’t fear man we fear God. We are facing an onslaught of Haman’s and Goliath’s we must stand up like Esther and David.
The church must confront to conquer. God will find the crack in the armor, the hole and God will find it and bring it down. We are determined to stand with God and for His laws .
