It was a wonderful prayer meeting. Hundreds of women gathered to pray. They meet once every three months. If you had never been to a place where women only pray, you might not have seen an outstanding prayer meeting yet. It lived to its billing. I prayed and waited on God that He will visit and He did. The tap of prophetic unction was fresh and running. These women were placing a demand on the flow of the power of God. A lot of it is still flowing in the course of this writing even though its days after. You are not reading this by accident.  As we read, we will agree together in prayers. When I was going for the prayer meeting, I had a set of preset "bullets" - prayer points I wanted us to deal with. 

As the program started, I began to get a quiet nudging to use Queen Vashti’s story in the book of Esther instead to lead the prayer meeting. I resisted as I wanted to stick to my prepared prayer points. I sensed and knew that I would struggle for the rest of the night if I don’t comply. This simple story of Queen Vashti’s dethronement after weeks of partying and reckless madness by her husband (the king) has stayed with me and I will show you now where it has led me and left me with more desire to pray!

It was not her fault. The Lord will preserve you from the negative effect of other people’s madness and error in Jesus Name.  Everyone that God has place over your life will not be an agent of pain in Jesus name. Her husband, King Ahaseaurus was drunk. He did an exhibition for six months and called a party that lasted for one week. He gave liberty for excesses and wantonness

Est 1:7-8  And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king. And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

He asked his wife to come and "model" and show off her beauty to the other drunkards. I decree in Jesus name that your spouse, your acquaintance will not fall into error in Jesus Name. They will not thread the path of error! They will not associate with men of error!  She refused and that got the king angry. Her chance was still 50-50. Why? The king was confused about what to do. The king called the wise men.  Out of about seven "wise" men around the king, one spoke! That sealed her fate. Why? When he finished, the king concurred. The

THE POWER OF RECOGNITION - IF YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE IT, YOU WILL WASTE AND ABUSE IT

If a man does not recognize, he cannot utilize. Awareness is the greatest tool of change. We are so hopeless when we don't know. If we don't know, we are blind and our best efforts will fail. They fail woefully. We lose direction when we do not acknowledge the exact purposes that things are meant for.

Two things led to these recent thoughts of mine. I have been studying the life and story of Naaman in 2kings 5. It has been coming alive and fresh. This man was not an apostle, nor was he an evangelist. His story was only mentioned in this part of the scripture but he deserved a commendation by Jesus in Luke 4:27.

Luk 4:27  And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

He was the only leper healed in pre-Jesus era because of his awareness. On a closer look I could see that there were a lot of laws that governed his miraculous transmission from an adult leper to a man whose flesh became like that of a small baby. This basic law that initiated the other laws, I believe, is the Law of recognition.

2Ki 5:3  One day she said to her mistress, "I wish that my master could go to the prophet who lives in Samaria! He would cure him of his disease." (GNB)

I declare in the name of Jesus that today will be the beginning of your day of change.

He saw a chance. He saw an opportunity. He recognized it. He used it. He did something with the opportunity and the other laws of favor, divine instruction, compliance took over. However, I will be deliberating on the law of recognition today.

Secondly, I saw how powerful the law of recognition is in the life of a man who killed his wife recently in Lagos. May you wake up from all forms of slumber! May you not be blind internally till it’s too late. May we not be deaf that we cannot hear. If you can’t recognize, you will misbehave. It was a 3-year
