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 (NKJV)

Many have found themselves in positions they never thought feasible or possible in the recent past, but God's plans in a believer's life are divine and ordered for His purpose. Esther had gained close proximity to the base of power and influence until the stake of her generation and kindred hung on the balance. Her elevation to a sphere of influence was for such a time as this. She became a destiny changing tool for the Jews of that time. The Esther’s of this generation abounds and you and I know what the calling is on our individual and collective lives.

We have been set apart for a time such as this - A time where there seem to be much hopelessness in the land, a time where the trend of things have been on the downward path. We can bring hope back to a weary and confused generation. In the midst of the entire gloomy picture from the modern day media, we can be the beacon of hope and the light of the world, for we have been preserved for such a time as this. Do not miss your destiny changing opportunity.

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
