For such a time as this

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His goodness, faithfulness, and loving kindness.

Primary Text

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2v10 (KJV)

“It is God Himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago He planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.” Ephesians 2v10 (TLB)

God has work that He has laid out for you to do. Yet, it is possible to go through life selfishly without being a blessing to anyone; to be successful but live a life of insignificance. But God would have us do good things. Of our Lord Jesus it was written “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.” The seed of God is on the inside of you, and His Spirit is in you. The One who created you has good works for you to do. Will you accept this mandate? Will you seek His face to know what He will have you do? For Esther, she did good by deciding to speak to the king about the plight of the Israelites. What is that work the Lord has asked you to do?

“he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 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 your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4v13-14 (NIV).

Prayer

My Father and my God, I thank You for making me for a purpose. Father, those good works which You before ordained that I should do, please reveal them to me this day and help me to do so in Jesus name, amen.
