Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 27, Day 2: Sunday, 3rd July 2023. Topic: RISK TAKERS 2.Esther Risk Her Life For The Jews.

“15. Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 

16. Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

17. So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.”

“Taking Risk to save lives,” is a simple theme to be given to Esther’s decision. Despite being the loved Queen, there are rules guiding when to see and meet with the King (her Husband). There are consequences if these rules are bent, but her Uncle also told her the consequences if the risk was not taken, then she sent this message back, 

“16…. and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.”

What a risk! The scripture said, the next day she went to present herself before the king and she was favoured by the King. If she had made up her mind not to go because she was safe in the palace, God would have raised someone else according to Modecia, but she took the risk and saved all the Jews in Susa from the plot of Haman.

To take a risk means breaking a rule for a positive reason. Esther was placed at the palace for this reason so she could be the saviour for the Jews. Your position isn’t just for your family but for generation to be save. What’s the risk presented before you that you deem dangerous? That’s the reason you are in that marriage, that office, and that ministry. You’re to take the risk and save lives. God is telling you this for you to move and risk it all. 

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to  those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
