THEME: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. Esther 4: 14.
Instead of complaining about your neighbourhood, or your neighbours or your place of work, have you ever stopped to think about the fact that God has put you where you are for such a time as this? If you have suffered in life, God can take your hurt and pain and use it to make you a godly man or woman for such a time as this. A classic example is Joseph.
After he was sold into slavery by his brothers, he was purchased by a man named Potiphar. Joseph was so hardworking and godly that he was put in charge of Potiphar's house. Potiphar's wife, however, wanted to seduce Joseph. When he refused her repeated advances, she falsely accused him of rape. Consequently, Joseph was sent to prison, where he suffered for a long time.
But through God's providence, he was released, stood before the king, and interpreted his dream. The king rewarded Joseph with the second-most powerful position in the kingdom. Eventually, Joseph came face to face with his brothers again. It could have been the ultimate story of payback. Instead, it was the ultimate story of forgiveness
Understand that there are no two people on earth with your exact heritage. The precise events and sufferings of your life have brought you to this hour. God is aware of it. He has been preparing, equipping, and allowing what has been happening in your life to get you ready. He has something for you to say. He has something for you to do.
ACTION POINTS
God has permitted everything that has happened in your life for a purpose for such a time as this. Let Him use your life for His glory.
SCRIPTURE:
Esther 4: 1 , 17
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for all You have brought me through in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, use my past hurts for Your glory in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, fight every battle of my life and give me victory in the name of Jesus.
4. Lord, let me fulfil my purpose in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
