PIDGIN SUCH A TIME AS THIS!

Esther 4:1–14

 Wen Mordekai hear evritin wey dey happen, e tear en klot kon wear sak, pak ashes for en head; den e go di town centre kon dey kry. 2But e nor waka pass di king gate: bikos nobody wey wear sak klot go fit pass der. 3And for evry aria where dem for read dis law, Jew pipol wey dey der, dey kry, fast, wear sak klot kon pak ashes for dia head.

4Wen Estha savants tell am wetin dey happen, e vex well-well kon sey make dem go remove Mordekai sak klot kon wear am betta klot, but Mordekai nor gri. 5Den Estha koll Hatak, one offisa for di palis wey di king sey make e dey serve am kon send am go ask Mordekai, make e tell am wetin dey happen.

6Hatak go meet Mordekai for di town centre for di palis gate. 7Mordekai tell am evritin wey dey happen and all di money wey Haman sey di kingdom go get, wen dem don kill all Jew pipol. 8E give Hatak one kopy for di kommand wey dem read for Shushan, sey make dem kill all Jew pipol. Mordekai sey make e go give and tell Estha evritin, so dat e go beg di king make e sorry for en pipol.

9Hatak do as Mordekai tell am, 10den Estha sey make e go give Mordekai dis message: 11“If anybody, weda na man or woman enter di inna kourtyard go si di king without sey e koll am, dat pesin must die. Dat na di law; evribody from doz wey dey advise di king go rish evriwhere for di kingdom, know sey na so e bi. But na only one way wi fit take break dis law: if di king show pesin en gold rod, den dem nor go kill dat pesin. But e don rish one mont since di king sey make dem koll mi kom.”

12Wen Mordekai hear Estha message, 13e kon sey make dem go warn am, “Make yu nor feel sey yu dey save pass any oda Jew pesin, bikos yu dey stay for palis. 14If yu keep kwayet for dis time, God go send help kon from heaven and wi go dey save, but yu go die and yor papa family go end. Yu know weda na bikos of dis tin, na-im make yu bi kween!”

 

God no dey do things anyhow—He dey move with strategy and perfect timing. Everything get season, and timing matter for God plan. You don ever think say maybe you dey where you dey right now for a reason—because God put you there for such a time as this? Which position God don place you inside this season, and how you dey use that influence wisely? 

Bible show us say Esther enter position of influence “for such a time as this.” God use her to fulfil Him purpose for the dangerous time wey she dey live. Esther be Jew wey dey live among foreign people for Persia, just like many of us wey dey among people wey no share our belief or faith. 

Her cousin Mordecai train her well and teach her how to behave when she enter palace of King Ahasuerus. Esther obey the instruction wey Mordecai give her—she no tell anybody say she be Jew. Later, she find favour with the king and come become queen for Esther 2:17. 

You fit ask yourself this question: where I dey now, God position me here for which reason? God fit raise you, like He raise Esther, to act for Him purpose during this exact time for history. He don call every believer to make impact for God kingdom in our own day. But the question be whether we dey answer that call? 

Time come now for Esther when she suppose show her true identity. Even though Mordecai first tell her make she hide am, God decide say the time don reach for her to speak and act. That na the moment for her divine assignment. 

The same way, wherever you day now—whether your workplace, your home, ministry, or community—God get plan for you there. You no dey there by mistake. Life no dey random; God dey arrange every detail around you. Sometimes you just need to pause and pay attention, because God still dey work quietly for wetin look normal to others. 

When time reach for Israel deliverance, Esther dey rightly positioned to act. She use her chance take enter the king presence and fight for her people freedom. You too don receive that kind call to rise “for such a time as this”—you go answer am? If you no accept the mission, God plan no go fail; He go raise another person to take your place. But you go miss the blessing wey for follow obedience. 

Bible talk for 2 Timothy 1:7 say, “God no give us spirit of fear but of power, love, and sound mind.” So, make fear no stop you from stepping into the assignment wey God design for you. God fit do without us, but He choose to work through us according to Ephesians 1:11. Like Esther, we be the instrument wey God go use to fulfil His purpose. 

No matter where you dey or wetin dey happen, God always get Him people ready—men and women wey go act with courage, obedience, and faith—people wey go rise and answer kingdom call for such a time as this. If we ignore the call, God plan go still move forward but we go miss our chance to be part of the story. 

Make you remember say, when God call person to serve, na privilege and blessing, not burden. Every opportunity to serve na open door to receive blessing. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

·       Where God position me for this season, and how I dey use my influence for Him kingdom work? 

·       Which fear dey hold me back from entering fully into the assignment God give me for such a time as this? 

·       I dey respond with obedience to God call, or I dey risk to miss the divine opportunity wey He place before me? 

PRAYER: Father, in Jesus’ name, thank You because You position me for this season according to Your plan and purpose. You put me exactly where I suppose dey for such a time as this. Give me grace to recognise the influence You give me and to use am faithfully for Your kingdom. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
