A Leadership Insight
I was reflecting on these scriptures and the idea of how we are created, prepared and positioned by the “I AM” to achieve a heavenly mandate. Our only question is “What does the master want us to do?”
We see areas in this world that grieves us and we quietly desire to “fix it” knowing the current state conflicts with our understanding of what is “possible”.
God’s wisdom and grace uniquely prepares us to be the solution and He would not ask us to do anything more than we are “well able” to do with His leading.
Unfortunately, many are living beneath the promises of God due to the lack of knowledge and understanding. Deliverance for their pain is awaiting for our faith to alignment with Gods plan.
There is still a real enemy that desires to steal, kill and to destroy mankind; but, Christ has come that we all may have life and have it more abundantly.
We all must be taught the truth through observation or instruction to expose our minds and hearts to the sun of “possibilities”. This intersection creates a burning desire to pursue our higher standard and noble calling.
Scripture provides a tangible example with Queen Esther. She was uniquely positioned by God to thwart the evil plan of Haman against the Jews.
Ester was afraid and understood the rule of law and that the resolution path was a high risk and, if done, without the grace, wisdom and the provision of God could lead to death.
Mordecai, Esther’s uncle provided clarity on her options challenging her to understand her purpose while placing a demand on her to press beyond her comfort zone for gods purposes.
She decided to take action by faith at great personal risk.
She then prepared herself by fasting, to get direction on what to do.
As leaders, we will all face our individual giants. My prayer is that we will take the step of faith towards God plans like Queen Ester.
Let us:
1. Decide to Answer the Call
2. Consecrate ourselves to purge our hearts so we can be lead by the spirit
3. Pursue/ Move forward by faith
For “who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion? “
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
”And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews to be destroyed.
[Mordecai] also gave him a copy of the decree to destroy them, that was given out in Shushan, that he might show it to Esther, explain it to her, and charge her to go to the king, make supplication to him, and plead with him for the lives of her people. And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Then Esther spoke to Hathach and gave him a message for Mordecai, saying, All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any person, be it man or woman, who shall go into the inner court to the king without being called shall be put to death; there is but one law for him, except [him] to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live.
But I have not been called to come to the king for these thirty days. And they told Mordecai what Esther said.
Then Mordecai told them to return this answer to Esther, Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish.
And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?
Then Esther told them to give this answer to Mordecai, Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me; and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I also and my maids will fast as you do.
Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went away and did all that Esther had commanded him.“
