You really matter in the kingdom of God!!!

 Esther 4:14

If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

Between yesterday and today, the Jews are celebrating their deliverance that happened many years ago, where they were nearly destroyed by the man called Haman who was an advisor to the king. However, God intervened and allowed their deliverance, that came through the newly chosen queen, called Esther who was instrumental in saving the lives of the Jews. In this verse, Esther's uncle (who was like a parent to her), reminded her of the challenge they were facing of their possible killing and was asking if she can use her authority to bring relief. What we learn from this story is that queen Esther used her position as the queen and informed the king of the plans of Haman to kill every Jew, including herself. The king was touched by this debacle and intervened and all the Jews were set free! PS- read the whole story in the book of Esther in the bible!

What we learn from this story is that God would put us in positions (that at times we don't even deserve); however, because of His will and plans, we end up being instrumental and bringing victory, relief, joy, hope and so much more, to God's people. We must never underestimate ourselves, nor the positions we hold, as we may never know what supernatural miracle you will bring someone by being obedient in that position. The second important learning lesson, is to be obedient! Like Mordecai (Esther's uncle) said, that who knows if you were raised to this position for such a time as this. Meaning, when God leads and urges you to do something, do it, because you may never know whose miracle will happen simply because of your obedience. We are important in the kingdom of God and my wish is for you to start seeing yourself as God sees you, His instrument that He can use to bring glory and honour to Himself and also touch people's lives through you. Go on, continue shining His light in your world as God has assigned you to.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
