YOU'RE NOT AN ACCIDENT

THERE'S A REASON FOR YOUR BEING.

Our Key Scripture: Esther 4:13-14.
Have you ever wondered why you were born in this generation and not in the 1800s,for example? You have to understand that God has something to do with your being alive at this time.He has a purpose for your being.
The children of Israel were in a terrible predicament, in the days of king Ahasuerus. A certain man named Human hated the Jews,and he happened to be a very influencial figure, and wielded so much authority at the behest of king Ahasuerus. The king promoted and elevated him above all the princes in his kingdom and so all the servants in the kings gate bowed and reverenced Human whenever he walked by.Read( Esther 3:1-2).Thus, Human had a political might and influence to annihilate the Jews whom he hated,as Mordecai the Jew would not bow to him.
However,Esther, Who was also a Jew,and married to the king,was relishing the glory of the palace, completely oblivious of Haman's hatred and quest to destroy the Jews. Mordecai, her uncle, sent a touching message to Esther which we read in our key scripture.He told Esther," Who Knows,perhaps, you have come to royal position to prevent this from happening."Indeed, Esther's timely intervention prevented Haman from actualizing his wicked plot against the Jews.
Maybe you're" the Esther" that God has placed in government, in that office, in that choir, in that church,in that company, in that school, in that family,that pastor,that neighbor, that close friend of yours who is not born again, in that strategic position, where you can be of help to God's people. Sometimes, it might even be for you to help an individual,or the work of the kingdom in your locality, country or region to progress further. Perhaps God placed you there because he knew a time of need would come, and you'd rise to the occasion.Don't fail him.Don't neglect any opportunity to help.Dont think about yourself only;think about the gospel, and its spread around the world through your personal contribution.
For further insights Read.(Romans 15:1),(Galatians 6:8).
prayer points you should use praying for 15 mins.
(1).Pray that God creates opportunities that will make you become available to help others.(2).Declare that you are relevant in the spread of the gospel around the world.(3)Declare that you'll recognize & take advantage of the grace in you to win for others.(4)Declare that youll fulfill that which God has created you for & that you'll fulfill your role in the ministry of reconciliation.
Summarize by praying it in all:Dear father, I'm grateful for the opportunities you've made available to me to be of help to others and be relevant in the spread of the Gospel around the world. I recognize and take advantage of your Grace in me to win for others and fulfill my role in the ministry of reconciliation,in Jesus'Name. Amen
Have A Great Day
