ABOUT US
Queen Esther's Banquet is a prophetic prayer and intercession platform established to pray for, support, strengthen and raise godly women serving in the corridors of power.
Inspired by Esther, we believe women in government and leadership are strategically placed by God for His sovereign purpose across nations, communities, and generations.
Through strategic prayer, prophetic intercession, leadership development, mentorship, and spiritual support, Queen Esther's Banquet seeks to create a spiritual covering for women who influence public policy, governance, and national transformation.
Our mission is to raise a global altar of prayer for women in government, politics and public service, empowering them to fulfill God's purpose in leadership with wisdom, integrity, courage and excellence.
We believe that intercession is not passive. It is one of the most active and consequential things a body of believers can engage in on behalf of a nation. Queen Esther's Banquet exists to channel that conviction into strategic, consistent, and targeted prayer for the women God has placed in positions of governmental authority. We do not pray generally. We pray specifically, sector by sector, office by office, name by name, standing in the gap for women who carry the weight of public leadership and who need a spiritual covering equal to the assignment they bear.
To see women in positions of authority become instruments of righteousness, justice, national transformation, and godly influence within every sphere of government and public service.
We envision a Nigeria, and ultimately a world, where women who occupy seats of power are not merely tolerated in those spaces but are recognized as divine placements carrying kingdom mandates. We see women in legislative chambers, courtrooms, government ministries, diplomatic offices, security agencies, and public institutions who govern with an unshakeable sense of purpose, whose decisions are marked by righteousness, and whose leadership leaves nations better than they found them.
SCRIPTURE FOUNDATION
Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord
I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority
Rising insecurity. Economic pressure that has pushed millions to the edge. A generation asking whether this nation can still be saved.
We believe it can. But not by policy alone. Not by protest alone.
Queen Esther's Banquet was built for exactly this moment. We are not spectators. We are intercessors, standing in the gap for this nation with precision, with urgency, and with the unshakeable conviction that prayer moves what power cannot.
Banditry in the northwest, insurgency in the northeast, and kidnapping across multiple states continue to strain Nigeria's security architecture, disrupting agriculture, driving displacement, and weakening public confidence in the state's ability to protect its citizens.
Inflation and rising living costs are pressing households nationwide, testing economic policy and the institutions responsible for relief.
Public trust remains strained by corruption and slow justice, raising the stakes for institutions upholding the rule of law.
Queen Esther's Banquet begins virtually, with plans for physical gatherings, leadership roundtables, conferences and national prayer banquets.

FAQ
No. We do not campaign, endorse, or affiliate with any party, candidate, or ideology. Our mandate is not to determine who holds power but to ensure that every woman who does is covered in prayer. Our altar is nonpartisan. Our intercession is for all.
Each gathering is a strategic, sector-focused prayer session. Not a church service. Not a networking event. Every month we focus on a specific category of women in government, praying by office, by title, and by the actual responsibilities those women carry. Gatherings begin virtually, with annual physical conferences and national prayer banquets as the movement grows.
Discretion is a core value of this movement. Women who wish to receive prayer covering can do so privately. Names, offices and prayer requests are held in complete confidence within the community. You do not need to announce your involvement publicly to be covered. Esther herself moved with wisdom about when to speak and when to remain silent. We honour that same wisdom.
Most women's prayer groups pray broadly for families, health and personal breakthrough. That work is valuable. Queen Esther's Banquet has a singular mandate: government, politics and public service. We pray sector by sector, office by office, institution by institution. We study the structures of government so our prayers are informed. Strategic intercession meets people where they actually are.
Absolutely. Every great movement has two groups: those on the front lines and those holding them up in prayer. If you believe that prayer moves governments and that women serving in public office deserve a wall of intercession behind them, this is your assignment too. You do not need a title, a portfolio or a government ID. You need a heart for intercession and a willingness to show up consistently.
When you join the movement you receive an opportunity to share your area of service and any specific prayer needs you carry. These requests are received in confidence and brought before the altar during our focused intercession sessions. You do not need to explain or justify your request. You simply bring it. We hold it, and we pray.
No. The altar does not charge admission. Queen Esther's Banquet is a movement before it is an organisation, and the first thing we are building is a community of women committed to strategic intercession. Joining costs nothing financially. What it requires is consistency, seriousness and a genuine burden for women serving in public office.
