FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS! Esther 4:14

The words of Mordecai to Esther, "Who knows that you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this", are as pertinent today, for us, as they were then.

There is a sense that God is stirring our hearts for what He has called us to do. As we are preparing to commence praying for 24 hours this Sunday there is an expectancy that God is about to do much as we surrender our hearts to Him.

The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding the pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Jesus is the pearl of great price and as we surrender our lives to Him, Jesus says "whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

Ask God to stir our hearts, put fire in our bellies, and make us people with zeal and passion. Youthful David killed Goliath, and Caleb, at 85, still had the fire in him to claim his promise from God.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of God has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. Young or old now is the time for us as the church to grab hold of what God has for us.

Be expectant; those who know their God shall do mighty exploits.

God bless,
The Eldership team
