Esther 4:14: For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?
Did you know that you are in a royal position in Jesus Christ? We who are in Jesus Christ are heirs. We are all part of the Kingdom of God. Through Jesus Christ we are all put in a position regardless of what the world sees us as in our daily positions. Every daughter is a princess and every son is a prince. We are all royalty and we are all royalty at this time in history. We must all see ourselves as loved, elevated, and part of the Kingdom of God here on earth. We may not walk around in tiara's and scepters but we have the covering of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the Lord of lords. We are robed in righteousness. Be reminded of that today.
We see from Esther, all the millions of things that had to happen for her to be in the position where she found herself. It was designed that way by God. She had a real choice on whether or not she would accept it. The truth was that others may come along to do it if we don't. God the Father will use another if we decide not to step into the authority that He has given us through Jesus Christ. And yet we have the choice to walk in it, and take ownership in the truth.
There is a ripple effect in this world when we receive the call on our lives. There will be many who will want to wipe us off the face of the planet like Hamon wanted to do to the Jews.
Here is the thing. We have favor in this world because like Esther and Mordecai we will always rise to the top like cream when we see and receive the truth of the authority of Jesus in us. They trusted in God even in the midst of a foreign secular kingdom. We are all living in an ever increasingly secular environment. We will all have choices to make. When we trust in the finished work of Jesus, we will never have to fear.
Choose to accept what your call is. Do the tough things the right way, and the right way will stop being tough. Some people will try and bring you down when you move forward in your walk. Don't listen to them, God has that all worked out for you. Just keep going forward when He calls you and you will never have to worry about what others say or attempt to do to you. We were bought at a price, and so with that ownership comes care, protection, provision, and peace. We have a choice though, and when we claim the royalty that we belong to, up to half the Kingdom will be given to us, just like it was for Esther.
Father, we choose to accept our call over our lives today and give you full control over our circumstances. We can't wait to see what You will do with our lives when we release that control over to You. Thank You for choosing me before You made the world to be Your child and to step into this authority to watch Your power and glory demonstrated for all to see. All glory to You Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
