PREPARED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Posted by Pastor Ernestine Gold-Livingston on

In the book of Esther 4.14, Esther's uncle,  Mordecai appeals to her to save her people and says at the end.....
"Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this." (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

1 Peter 2.9 says, Those who are in Christ Jesus are God's own possession and belong to a royal priesthood. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light”

We are that holy nation,  that royal priesthood called out of darkness to proclaim the praises of our Lord God Almighty.  So speak what God says about you. Do not receive or repeat what the world is saying, but instead Decree and Declare the Blessings and Promises of God over you and your family. You will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. (Ps.118.17) You have no lack. (Ps. 34.9)  You have everything you need. (Philp. 4.18) You are the head and not the tail. (Deut. 28.13) God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. (2Tim. 1.7) If you are in Christ Jesus, it is easy to speak and declare these truths over yourself because they are part of the inheritance of the saints in Christ Jesus. God is faithful.  He is not a man that he should lie, nor is He slack, or slow concerning His promises. His word will not return void! 

You have been prepared for this day.  God has given and equipped you with all things, everything you need, that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue. (2 Peter 1:3, KJV) 

Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. (1John 4.4).
Jesus will always be with you for He has promised to never leave or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5.
And remember, He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1: 6.)

Continue to fight the good fight.
Finish the race and, by all means, keep the faith!

(I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Tim.4:7 -NKJV)
