Hegai: Do you have a Hegai in Your Life?

One Night with the King
Do you have a Hegai in your life? Hegai knew the king so well. He knew the king's taste, preferences, wants, needs, caprices, mindset, moods, and highs and lows. In fact, Hegai was well acquainted with the king's heart and mind. Hegai was close-in eunuch of the king. He was always in the king's presence.

Esther pleased Hegai. This was crucial. You didn't get any chance with the king unless you pleased his close-in eunuch. Hegai knew just what the king wanted and needed. So, if you wanted to please the king to the max, Hegai was the man to give you the vital tips. He knew how you should look and smell and talk and move, and things like that for the king. 

And because Esther pleased Hegai, Hegai immediately gave her the keys to success--the needed "beauty treatments and special food." Yeah, the Word says "immediately." Do you have a personal Hegai in your life? One who is a close-in and personal confidant of the King of kings, and who really knows the King's heart and mind--His needs,  wants, pleasure, preferences, moods, will, and things like that?

There are many fake "King's eunuchs" out there who are just as lost as their clients. They parade their titles and degrees and mega churches and beautiful programs and sermons but don't know a thing about pleasing the King. If you fall victim to them, you'd never get your rare chance to be let into the King's private chamber. 

That's why a lot of church people have to shout all day when they worship. They failed the test and are not allowed to remain in the King's chamber. They are there outside his mansion, in the courts, where they shout to be heard. They never get past the "enter His gates with thanksgiving" and "enter His courts with praise." 
The God Chasers: My Soul Follows Hard After Thee

Entering the gate and courts are important, but merely staying there all day, everyday, and each worship service is not. The real goal is to be with the King in His private chamber, in His Throne Room, forever. To get past the gate and courts, God's way teaches that we need a spiritual Hegai, a genuine discipler, a true faith father, a spiritual man of God, who knows the King well--and in fact has the King's spiritual DNA.

Do you have a spiritual Hegai?
