The Right and Power of Decree

UV 4119/10000 The Right and Power of Decree Now write another decree in the king’s name on behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring- for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked. Esther 8 v 8 Esther could not bear to see disaster fall on her people- the Jews. She could not bear to see the destruction of her family for she regarded all Jews as her family. The king had pointed his scepter towards Esther to show she had his favour in this request of hers to cancel the decree to have all Jews killed -ordered by Haman, the Prime Minister. Likewise, we as believers and followers and subjects and co-rulers with the King of Kings, Jesus have the scepter of favour turned in our direction. Like Esther, we can plead with the King of Kings to have mercy on our family, our people. Since He has declared us as His veritable signet ring on earth, His diamond-studded scepter of authority, we have the right and power of decree to write as best as we can and seal it with the blood of the Lamb. Our decree is a divine order sealed not with ink but the blood of the King of Kings, the Lamb of God. It is irrevocable. It is final. The Power of Decree needs documentation or writing. We, as families and as individuals should maintain a book of decrees we issue. Like the decree for the salvation of the condemned Jews was issued in the name of the king, we need to issue it in the spirit and in the name of Jesus, the name recognized on earth as it is in heaven, the source of our power and authority. We can write a decree in the name of Jesus, King of Kings, that no person in our family should die in this pandemic, no believer known to us should die in this pandemic, no disaster should overtake our children, no pestilence should enter our house. It is an act of faith and trust and the Lord will honour our faith. The decree, once it is written, should be sent not on horseback as the ancients did but through the angels, the ministering spirits so that all the people being covered in the decree know of it. The point being made is that we need to write down the prayers, the fervent desires we have of the Lord to protect our families and our people as done and dusted orders from the throne of heaven. We have this boldness to enter the presence of God on account of our faith in the Lord Jesus and we have His favour to decree as best we can in our own language, written in our own hand and issued, made known to others.
