RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL
YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS
Friday, December 5th
Pastor Chris
โฆAnd who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this (Esther 4:14 NIV).
The verse we just read is part of the words with which Mordecai challenged Esther to take a stand against the heinous and devious plan of Haman to annihilate the Jews. Esther didnโt know she was part of a divine setup until Mordecai opened her eyes. Her position as queen wasnโt for comfort; it was for a purpose. The same is true of you.
Thereโs nothing accidental about your life. Predestination is at work in you. Your birth, your placement, and your assignment in the Kingdom are all divinely orchestrated. You were born for such a time as this, strategically positioned by God to influence and impact your world for His glory.
God placed you in your family, workplace, city, and nation as a soul winner and Kingdom ambassador. Everything about youโyour education, talents, resources, and personalityโhas been given to you for Kingdom use. Donโt withhold your voice when itโs needed. Donโt retreat in fear when youโre meant to speak up and take a stand for the Gospel and advance in faith. Live unto Christ and fulfil His purpose for your life.
2 Corinthians 5:15 says, _โAnd that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.โ Let nothing hinder or deter you from passionately spreading the good news of Christโs salvation. Thatโs your number one job in the earth: _โAnd all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliationโ_ (2 Corinthians 5:18).
Let your light shine where and when it matters most. Like Esther, you must boldly declare, โIf I perish, I perish,โ because living for the Lord, fulfilling His will and purpose is worth everything. Youโve been trained and called to this. Now is the time to act and say like Paul, โBut none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of Godโ (Acts 20:24).
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for choosing and positioning me for such a time as this. I am bold, ready and willing to fulfil your purpose for my life. I declare that my light shines brightly, and I make lasting impact for the Kingdom wherever I go, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY= Esther 4:13-16 KJV Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. 14 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? 15 Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer], 16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
2 Timothy 1:8-9 KJV Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Acts 20:22-24 KJV And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
