Divine Positioning

Ps Steven Teo preached at the second service this morning, using reference text Esther 4:14:

"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?"
Few pointers to learn:
  1. There is a God-given place, where we will face incredible challenges. We need to align & realign else we will miss God-given opportunities. Challenges allow God to use, enable & bring us to the next tier (Rom 4:17)
  2. There is a divine timing, where we will discover His will in the process. The way we response will impact the making of God's will in our lives. The will of God is aligned with His perfect timing and divine opportunity (Jere 29:11).
  3. There is sure success, where we will bring glory to His name. We should celebrate success because by doing so, we know that there is victory in God-given place in God's divine timing.

Divine positioning takes the step of faith to do great exploits for God's kingdom. Esther was not threatened by her gender, position & enemies. For such a time as this, she positioned herself & brought deliverance to her people.

How about you? For such a time as this, what has God called you to do & you delayed? You might be the Esther of today :)
