Prayer Pointers- Week 17

Announcement: Hi guys, e '100k campaign' is not exactly e '100k campaign' and we dun really hav to follow e things abt it, but it's a time for us to bless others becuz blessings remove e blindfold tt Satan has on non-believers spiritual eyes. If u can only bless 2 pple, it's ok. If u need more time, it's ok. God will still be proud of you if you try your best, so take the step of faith and go forth and bless pple. This is your calling right at this time.

Prayer Pointers:

Respond to e calling and purpose God has 4 u Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, "All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that he be put to death. The only exception to this is for the king to extend the gold scepter to him and spare his life. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king."

When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, 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 royal position for such a time as this?"

Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."

- Esther 4:10-16, NIV

Esther had a calling to respond to, she was to beg for mercy for all the Jews and save them and Esther was afraid. She would have a high risk of being put to death. But Mordecai, he told Esther that she had a calling, that's why she came to such a royal position at this time. God planned for her to be there when Esther didn't know that all the royalty and being promoted to queen was 4 god to use her. And Mordecai also said, "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." What he is talking about is that God will use someone else and bring relief and deliverance for the Jews, but because if Esther did not respond to the calling, because if Esther remained silent, then she losed out! When we do not respond to the calling, the opportunity that God has given us, God does not lose out, we do! God has placed us where we are for a purpose, for Esther it was to save the Jews.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.- Rom 8:28, NIV

We are called according to his purpose and God is working for the good of us. He plans every little detail for us to respond to the calling. If we don't respond to it, we lose out, not God! We lose out maybe in not being able to see God's mighty works in our lives and it working though us, we lose out maybe in missing the opportunities that God would have given us, we can lose out in many ways. Do not lose out and respond to the calling.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. -Heb 12:1, NIV

Let us run the race marked out for us and respond to our calling! Remember that where you are now is where God wants you to be!
