“Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.”
Esther 5:1-3.
Favour gives territorial authority. Therefore, you cannot have favour and be small. Our opening scripture shows us that Esther put on her royal robes; our royal robes as Christians is righteousness which gives us right standing before God. Just as Esther found favour in the sight of the king, you also have found favour in the sight of God.
When someone finds favour in your sight, there is a way you see them. It doesn't matter how others see them, what matters is how you see them because they have found favour in your sight. Now that you have found favour in God's sight, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks about you, what matters is that you are favoured in God's sight so accept yourself as the righteousness of God because that is how God sees you in Christ. When you accept the fact that you are righteous in God's sight, you procure favour.
Esther came before the king and obtained favour before him which also gave her territorial authority. The king said to her "What wilt thou, Queen Esther, and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom." Esther 5:3. Favour leads to territorial authority. I pray that such favour will rest on you today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
