Esther 4:14 ‘Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?’

DAILY READING; John 11:1-27; 2 Chronicles 10-11; Psalm 75

Harry Truman was the only American president of the 20th century who did not have a university education. However, he had a secondary school education that placed great focus on study of the Bible and ancient history. It was said he had read the Bible through three times before age fourteen.
His understanding of history and of the Bible positioned him to play a key role in the establishment of the modern nation of Israel.
In 1948, as the Jews made plans to announce their new nation, they needed America’s backing. As president of America at the time, Harry Truman made the decision to support Israel. But his decision was met with strong oppositions from many powerful figures in the American government, who did everything to stop the president’s recognition of Israel. But Truman withstood the pressures because of his Biblical convictions..
On Friday, May 14, 1948 the new state of Israel which would be the first Jewish state in nearly two thousand years–was declared in Jerusalem. Eleven minutes later at the White House, the U.S announced de facto recognition of Israel. This was received with joy by Jews all across the world and they expressed their gratitude to Truman for what he had done.
When the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Isaac Halevi Herzog, called at the White House, he told Truman, ‘God put you in your mother’s womb so you would be the instrument to bring the rebirth of Israel after two thousand years.’
As he said this, tears began running down the President’s cheeks. Also in 1961, in New York, David Ben-Gurion, who was the first Prime Minister of Israel told Truman that his courageous decision to quickly recognize the new state of Israel had given him an immortal place in Jewish history. Again tears sprang to Truman’s eyes. He was always moved by the fact that he had been able to do the right when he had the opportunity.

Mordecai said to Esther —“Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”(Esther 4:14).
Each of us has been divinely assigned to special tasks in God’s kingdom even before our birth..
God said to Jeremiah “Before you were born, I knew you and called you to be a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5).
As believers in these last days, we are called, chosen and anointed for strategic roles in the establishment of God’s kingdom on the earth.
We are people of destiny, set apart for God’s divine purpose in these end times.
Though your current situation may look like you will never rise above average or achieve anything great, God has brought you to earth at this particular time to accomplish something significant.
Don’t let anyone or anything convince you otherwise. You are not ordinary, you are part of the elite Joel’s company that will take the world by storm. Certainly, God has saved the best for the last. As an end time saint, God has placed divine grace, giftings, talents and abilities in you that you may not even be aware of.
The truth is that, many believers today, are living ordinary lives of vain and mundane pursuits, oblivious to the extraordinary plans God has for them.
This is why it is important to diligently study the Word and maintain fervent spiritual lives, so that we can understand our times and seasons and quickly recognize divine opportunities and embrace them.
Wherever we go, whatever we do, let us always be conscious of the fact that we have been born for such a time as this. We have been assigned to earth at this particular time for the divine purpose of expanding God’s kingdom.
At every level of life and with every position we are given, we are to continually seek first the promotion of God’s kingdom. As we do, certainly, all other things shall be added unto us.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be sensitive to Your timing and purpose for my life. Help me to draw closer to You, so that I can be en-graced and empowered to accomplish Your assignment for me in Jesus Name.
