Our Weapons are not Man-made: Effective Ways of Releasing Your Spiritual Blessings Into the Physical.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: ESTHER 2:2; GNT

Some of the kings advisers who were close to him suggested, Why don't you make a search to find some beautiful virgin.

Our scripture reference provides us with answers as to how Esther, a young Jewish lady in Susa, the capital city of the Persian Empire, was able to be separated by God out of an overwhelmingly odd situation.

The King's former wife Queen Vashti had provoked the king to anger over what was seemingly a minor misunderstanding on the part of the king (See chapter one for insight.)

One might ask, How was it possible that out of 127 ladies, assuming each of the provinces was represented by a lady, Esther was made Queen of the Persian Empire?

The Story of Esther have 5 wonderful principles embedded in it, to help the Christian today win victoriously over prevailing circumstances and situations trying to crawl into and take root in their lives.

Our opening verse says that the requirement for entry was for any intending candidate to be a virgin!


Does it then mean that only virgins are entitled to exalted positions today?!

The word virgin in itself means "self reservation", which is an act been triggered by a sound knowledge of either religious laws, or the Customs and Traditions of an individual's land of nativity. It is the great love for this knowledge that propels one into carrying out self preservation.

For time constraint I will head straight to list out 5 "keys", which would help an individual live an effective Christian life.


1. Sanctification and Holiness:
Sanctification simply means "to set apart to be used for specific Divine tasks."

As Christians, we were sanctified through Christ the day we accepted Him as the Lord over our lives. We were separated from the kingdom of Darkness, and translated into the Kingdom of Light.

Therefore, we are expected to keep that sanctified state; and in order to do that, it would require our own little input or effort. Yes, we are expected to "self-sanctify" ourselves!

What this means is to; remove ourselves from the old places we used to be and enjoyed being, to new places where God comes first or pleasing to Him. There are people that until we dissociate with them, we will never be focused enough to hear God speak to you.

Now, it is not that we hate them; no, it is because we care about them so much that we are willing to leave them for a while, in order to separate yourself to hear from God in His Word through the help of the Holy Spirit.

If you desire to be distinguished and honoured by God, then, you really need to be led by the instructions of the Holy Spirit. There are no negotiations!


I wish to add that by the word "place," it is not entirely limited to physical geographical locations. Before a place could be labeled as "good or bad," the decision was first made with the mind.

Now take for instance finding yourself in a public mode of transportation. You cannot say that because you are a Christian, that every other person who is not, should not make use of it. I seriously doubt if there are special public transportation systems dedicated solely to Christians.

Now, you might see a lot of ungodly activities going on right in there before your very eyes in that train coach but, here is the thing: the train is a bad place so to speak however, you can either get off or change seats; move to the next coach or remove your gaze and mind and fix it in a good place or thought!


Holiness on the other hand, is simply defined as "replacing old habits with new ones, which are inspired from an accurate understanding of what the Word of God says, and not what we want it to say." It is living a godly lifestyle! It is understanding that, "No matter what happens, I will do my best to exhibit the Nature of Christ inside of me to fellow human beings in my immediate sphere and beyond." (Galatians 5:22-23.)

Sanctification and Holiness are so to speak, identical twins as far as God is concerned. One cannot work without the other.

You cannot say that you have sanctified yourself by steering clear dating clubbing or sex, etc., while you still masturbate and cheat etc.; no, Sir/Ma. (Galatians 5:19-21.)


Sanctification and Holiness is a mental state; and that mental state is created by a sound understanding of the Word of God.

This understanding creates rich and deeper love for God, and it is this love that causes a person to make up their mind to be self sanctified. The ability needed to engage in this key is stirred from the Word, and by the Holy Spirit, who releases the grace needed.

Sanctification and Holiness will trigger the Queen Esther's kind of favour and grace for you, even without begging or asking for it!

When a person is self-sanctified and holy, the Holy Spirit is moved to use such a person for the pleasures of the Father.

Self-sanctification and Holiness releases the different kinds of Grace needed to carry out the remaining 4 keys. This first key excites the Holy Spirit so much that in fact, it is the best way to be His best friend.

It is the best way to get His anointing working in, for and on your behalf without stress! It was what singled out Esther among over 127 young virgins; Sanctification and Holiness.


2. Ready to Present Self for Service:
Isaiah 1:19 says that except we are willing to obey God's instructions, we will not "eat the good of the land."

This should have been self-explanatory enough but, there is more. If for instance God should instruct you to go preach His message to so and so persons; would you go?

You say to yourself and the hearing of others, "I love God. I love Jesus, and I love the Holy Spirit." But if then you were asked what your love-level by percentage was for them, what would your response be?

What would your answer be: 10%, 50%, or you have no idea? Think about it. Are you prepared to go out and talk about the Kingdom of God to the unsaved when called upon?


3. Be a Doer After Hearing:
After answering question 2; would you step out? Considering the workload involved, the persecutions and even death?

What is your reaction when you see others in need? Are you only good at spotting the problems of others? Some Christians are professionals at it. They know all the nitty-gritty about Bro. Luke and Sis. Mary. "They have been married for 20 years now without children. I suspect the man is cursed!" someone might say.

Be the Saviour they cry day and night unto God for. You are the light in their world. Be ready to step up and act up!

In chapter 4; Mordecai tore his lovely clothes and put on sack clothes, poured ashes on his well groomed hair to mourn the calamity that was about to befall the Jews in Persia. He did not say to himself, "Boy! I know that I have saved up enough money to move outside the Persian Empire. I will go to the remotest parts of the earth, where this stupid death sentence will not affect me;" no, he did not! If you must enjoy God's Grace in and around your life with little effort, then, you have got to be a lifesaver and a peacemaker like Mordecai.


4. Intercede for Others:
I know this is the part we mostly get weary about, or try as much as possible to avoid. But, if only we understood it immeasurable benefits, Christians all over would engage in it more than for themselves. We are all ONE: different members of the same Body in Christ Jesus.

When last did you fast and pray for someone else's challenges and not expecting any form of reward whatsoever, but their victory?

When last did you fast and pray for Christians in your country?

When last did you fast and pray for the ministry of your man of God, or priest or Reverend?

When last did you forget about your own challenges for once, and concentrated on your siblings and relatives?

When last did you fast and pray for the unsaved in your immediate sphere?

Boost the faith of others through your words and actions. Mordecai boosted Queen Esther's faith when she was scared that she might be killed if she went to see the king without an invitation (for that was the law.)

Boost someone's faith right now!
Take a brief moment right now to call or send someone in dire need of all the comforting words, financial, or any other form of support today. Do not induce fear but rather, inspire faith to cause boldness and courage in others.


5. Confront Challenges Squarely:
Now that you already have 4 super keys in your hands, what should you do with them? Simple!

Pray! O Saint of God, pray and cause the release of your desired inheritances from the spirit realm into the physical. Go to those places eg offices, and meet those persons who were "obstacles" and get what rightfully belongs to you.

We have not been given the spirit of fear; no! We have the Spirit of boldness.

God is not going to "bless you", that is a religious thought. Are you shocked? Do not be.

See Ephesians 1 and you would love what the Holy Spirit said there through the Apostle Paul.


“Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE HEAVENLY WORLD. Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love God HAD ALREADY decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his sons {and daughters} this was his pleasure and purpose. Let us praise God for his glorious grace, for the FREE GIFT HE GAVE US IN HIS DEAR SON!
Ephesians 1:3-6; GNT, emphasised, mine

Did you see that? He ALREADY did it! Hallelujah!


What you really need are the right spiritual keys to open the spiritual "doors" that hold your blessings, so as to begin to enjoy and use them judiciously.

When you consciously engage in these 5 keys revealed, you consciously engage your Angels to boot out the entire negative forces standing between you and those doors.

It is when a Christian uses these keys, and sees the rewards of using them that they are then able to say, "God has blessed me!"


Remember: God does not need those blessings! He gave them because; He knew we would need them here on earth.

God is a Spirit, and whatever you need HAD ALREADY been released in the spirit realm!

Do not forget to share these keys with someone you love, expect me.

Remain ever blessed as ALWAYS!
