Esther 4:14 KJV ~ “For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
The order had been given. The Jews were going to die! Sometimes it seems like an order has been given to destroy you, But God has a bigger and better plan for your life! You are going to live! God has uniquely prepared you for the crisis that you are facing. Though you may have doubts, but God has brought you to this place, this moment in time for such a time as this! God has a plan for you and your life, you are destined to accomplish something special for His Kingdom!
Today, God has called you “for such a time as this.” It is no accident that you are where you are, and that you are doing what you’re doing, it has all been part of your training and preparation for the next chapter that you are about to enter. You had to be purged, pruned, processed, preserved and prepared for what God has purposed for your life. God has given you everything that you need, the Word, the Holy Spirit, your education, resources, skills and abilities, He has equipped you for the task at hand.
Remember God has an appointed time for every event in your life. Stop second guessing yourself, don’t be afraid or discouraged by the process, Trust God, and focus on His call for your life; for He called you for such a time as this, for this date, Wednesday, January 1, 2025, it is a part of your destiny! Be faithful to Him, the One who has allowed you to cross the threshold of a brand-new day, somebody didn’t get this opportunity to cross over, they got all the way to this day and that’s it. But if you are reading this devotional, it’s because God allowed it, it was on purpose, and He was intentional in His desire to bless you. Now how much more should you be intentional when you do things for Him?
God has opened up an opportunity for you to be optimized for His purposes. He didn’t put those ideas in your head just for you or placed you on that job or in that ministry just so you could just haphazardly walk through it on any given say, He placed you where you are for His kingdom purpose and for His Glory to be seen! You are to be a light, and you are to draw others to God, not to you! And as a matter of fact, you are to be following Jesus and nobody else!
Be mindful of the assignment that God has given you, so that you don’t miss out. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own personal issues that we miss what He wants us to do, you get lazy and comfortable in places that were only meant to be temporary. Stop trying to build in places, where you were only supposed put a movable tent, so that when God says go, you won’t have to feel like you are uprooting your entire life! For when it’s time to move, you should already be ready to go!
This is your moving season, and you must move swiftly and intentionally, as somebody’s life is on the line and you can’t afford to miss these divine moments, even if when it involves sacrifices and denying yourself of what you want? “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:3-4)! God wants you to desire to love Him and to love others!
Let Esther’s life remind you of the power of a divine purpose by God for your life. Don’t move before God, God will sometimes put you in a place of position so that when trouble arises you are already in place to be of assistance. So, despite being placed in a foreign palace under challenging circumstances, Esther found herself uniquely positioned to be a vessel of salvation for her people. Though the weight of responsibility felt daunting, she stepped into her divine calling boldly.
And just like Esther was uniquely placed to fulfill a divine purpose, God has positioned you exactly where you are to accomplish something that only you can do. Embrace this calling by seeking clarity and courage through prayer, trusting that God’s timing is perfect and intentional. Rely solely and totally on Him to guide you through the uncertainty, and take bold steps forward, knowing that you are here for such a time as this, and this is why He allowed you a new day in a new year, it’s personal to God and it should be very personal to you!
I want you to get and keep these three questions before you this year. 1) How many souls will be saved when you choose to step up to your assignment that God gave for such a time as this? 2) How many people will be in Heaven because you did what God told you to do? 3) How many people will be in Hell because you did not do what God told you to do? Remember, only what you do for Christ will last, nothing else can compare to that!
Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Thank You for allowing me to see the beginning of a brand-new year, You didn’t have to do it, but I’m grateful that You did! If I had ten thousand tongues, it would not be enough to thank You for what You have done for me! Father, forgive me of all of sins, create in me a clean heart and please renew Your right Spirit on the inside of me. Fill me to overflow of Your truth and turn my heart and my mind toward You and toward the role You have chosen for me to live out. Help me to put Your will and Your purpose ahead of my own. I humbly bow before You and ask for Your direction and guidance, as well as Your courage to live out the calling I’ve been given for such a time as this. Father, I come to You with a willing heart, seeking to follow the purpose You have placed on my life. Your Word reminds me in Philippians 2:13 that it is You who works in me to will and to act according to Your good purpose. Lord, help me to step out in faith and obedience, trusting that You have equipped me for every good work (2 Timothy 3:17). When fear and doubt arise, remind me of Your promise in Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Strengthen me to do what You have called me to do, not tomorrow, but now. Let my actions glorify You, and may I be a light to those around me. Use me as Your instrument to accomplish Your will. I surrender my plans to You, knowing that Your plans for me are good and perfect (Jeremiah 29:11). Guide me and lead me by Your Spirit, for I desire to fulfill my calling in this season. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen.
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
