Mordecai Company (Part 3)

Mordecai had a role of siting at the gate of the king. In those times, the people who sit at the gate are men considered to be noble. They get a lot of information because they can see what and who is entering the palace of the king. This was the position where Mordecai occupied in those times and that was why he could hear f the plot to kill the king.

Mordecai made sure that Esther had about the plot who inturn reported to the king. In this, he showed a great loyalty and committment to the king as a gatekeeper. A gatekeeper is a custodian of several secrets and stories. They can be the source of rumors in a town and sometimes judge matters brought to them.

Today, the Mordecai company represents a prophetic people who can see what is about to happen in a territory and be able to alert those with the access to make adequate preparatioons to avert an impending danger. We need the relationship between the prophet and the king in this time to be able to ward off the enemy and stay sane.

Severally, we have seen policies come out of the government that didn't favour the people. There are several streams of the prophetic oil, but the one that Mordecai carried is the one that knows what is about to happen and can affect a territiory or a people. Prophets need to understand that God is concerned about the situation of their territory.

For example, are we aware that God is concerned about that state of education in Nigeria? Do we think that God has infomration He wants tp share with us on the solutions to this matter? The relationship between Mordecai and Queen Esther sowed how the prophetic can help establish righteousness in the market place.

Prophets with access to those in the king's court have used this access to enrich themselves alone. This was not the patern with Mordecai. He was concerened with the affiars of the state. We pray for alignment for our prophetic brothers and sisters around the world.

As we sit at the gate and get to know what is about to happen, do not use of rour own gain, but rather for the gain of the entire nation.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
