Inspirational Reading from the Book of Esther 4

~...such a time as this...~ Esther 4:4

________________________________________________

Every Thursday 6 pm to Friday 6 pm (sundown to sundown) JIL Canada Pastors and for those who can make it can join us to pray and fast for 24 hours. JILC is a Praying Church and Warrior-Intercessors Network is one of the Strategies of JIL Canada. Prayer should be the first in priority with fasting ... present our special requests to God ... to clear our minds / bodies of all hungers ... except our "HUNGER for GOD!" In a very difficult situation Esther, asked Mordecai and the Jews in Shushan to pray and fast for three (3) days and nights and even her maids to join them. To intercede for Esther's interview with the King. We need spiritual discipline that will deepen our "COMMUNION with GOD!" ...to plug in to the SOURCE... WHO can supply everything that we need!

Esther received a news from her uncle Mordecai about the plot to destroy all the Jews in Persia. As queen of Persia, Esther had many privileges but running to the King wasn't a good idea. If the King wasn't pleased to see her ... her life would be in danger. In moment like this - the decision has to be made. She is going to take a risk to see the King with / without an invitation. To reveal to the King the news she received and her identify a - JEW!

God uses people to bring about HIS purposes and Queen Esther was one of them - to save HIS people from annihilation (Esther 4:4 "...for such a time like this...!"

Each one of us has a special place / position in the Kingdom of the Living God and tasks that needs to be fulfilled to HIM in HIS plan. You are that special - where you are and who you are - for just "such a time as this..."

God chose you...You are the one God wants to use:
You are the best person for the job in your workplace;
You are the best parents for your children;
You are the best leader / worker for the church;
Simply ... you are the one ... God put you there!

God's best are yet to come ... lets give the best to God...~
