FAITH CAPSULE: Where there is expectation there will be a manifestation.

Esther 1, 2

It is written, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2) In this season of a new beginning, what is your expectation? Where there is expectation there will be a manifestation. It is one thing to have a New Year resolution and it is another to have a New Year expectation. Your New Year resolution is in your rest solution. Rest solution is no where other than in the living Word of God. Trusting God for unlimited breakthrough is not a sin but a blessing. Esther’s kind of encounter of unlimited breakthrough is a kind of breakthrough to desire. Esther was the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter. (Esther 2:15) It was the refusal of Queen Vashti that allowed for the entrance for Queen Esther. Pray that someone, somewhere, someday will make a wrong move or a wrong decision that will bring forth your right move into your breakthrough. Queen Vashti was the Queen of King Ahasuerus. At one point, King Ahasuerus requested the Queen’s presence, but the Queen made a decision not to move at the request of the King. This did not sit well with the King, so he sought counsel from his closest advisors about what to do in response. Esther 1:15, “What shall we do to queen Vashti, according to law, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus brought to her by the eunuchs?” The result of the King’s Counsel was Queen Vashti’s banishment from the presence of the King. As a result, Esther was brought into place as the new Queen. Esther, meaning star in Persian language, lived to answer her name. A daughter of a captive became King Ahasuerus’ Queen. Esther was the least expected to replace Queen Vashti. Have you thought of your story changing overnight in a land in which you were an alien or a land where all hope is hanging in the balance? Someone, somewhere, someday will make a wrong move that will bring forth your right move into your breakthrough in this new season. Esther’s elevation brought forth deliverance for the Jews who were under the control of King Ahasuerus. Are you in your “Esther position” now? Do you know if you have come to your present position for such a time as you now find yourself? Do not be silent, be a relief for those who are in need for God’s sake. If you are one that believes in the name of God, be expectant and God will bring forth your breakthrough.

Prayer for today: Ask God to have mercy on you as His custom is towards those that love His name.
