*WORD POWER TODAY* *6TH FEBRUARY 2025* *YOU’RE HERE, NOW, FOR A PURPOSE* “Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14 (NIV) *MESSAGE* A lot of people think God only calls preachers and missionaries and those who are “super spiritual.” But God’s calling is for everyone! God has called every one of us to make a difference with our lives. The problem is that some of us are not picking up the phone. You can’t just wonder what you should do with your life or figure it out for yourself. You have to ask God what he created you to do. And then, day by day, you have to look to God’s Word for confirmation that you’re doing what God wants you to do. It’s time to answer God’s call! Discerning your call is not just a matter of life and death like it was for Esther it’s more important than life or death because eternity is in the balance. We’re not just talking about helping people in the here and now. We’re talking about their eternal destinies. Your calling includes your mission to tell other people about the gospel, that Jesus loves them and wants to be their Savior and friend, that he died so they could know God and be with him forever. God is working all things for his good. And you can be part of that when you tell God that you’ll go wherever he wants you to go and do whatever he wants you to do. In Esther 4:13-14, Esther’s cousin Mordecai sends this word to her: “Do not think 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?” (NIV). Mordecai knew that this young, poor, orphaned, Jewish girl had not become the queen of Persia by accident. He knew that God put her in that position “for such a time as this.” God has a destiny for your life. He brought you to this place at this time for a purpose. If you want to know what he has called you to do, you only have to ask and listen. *TALK IT OVER* Why do so many people have a hard time believing that God has a calling and mission for them that only they can fulfill? What keeps you from submitting your plans to God so that you can do what he made you to do? How does it change your perspective when you believe that nothing in your life has happened by accident? *BIBLE READING TODAY* *EXODUS 10* *EXODUS 11* *EXODUS 12* *DAILY WORD OF FAITH CONFESSION* Father, I thank You for this new day. I declare that I am blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved by God. I walk in divine health, sickness and disease have no power over me (Isaiah 53:5). I have wisdom for every decision today (James 1:5). I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). I prosper in all that I do, everything I touch turns to success today (Psalm 1:3). No weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). I have favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). Doors of opportunity and breakthrough are opening for me today (Revelation 3:8). I am led by the Holy Spirit, and I hear God’s voice clearly today (John 10:27).
