It seems scary to be a girl or young woman or young mother or any mother in 2024 and the years to come. If boys start doubting what they are and try to change themselves to the other gender and girls cannot voice their doubts and go by feelings instead of facts, it becomes a scary world especially for the ladies and the moms.
We need Biblical Esthers to stand up, to raise their voice and save what still can be saved.
If you wonder if the writer of this article can relate to the challenges of today, yes! She raised a handful of her own, of whom two were taken in at a young age and more than a handful were added later. Many girls and women poured out their aching hearts and lives. As she listened and cared for them, there were many unseen moments of despair and tears for those ones but the challenge to be what God wanted her to be in this time, rose more and more as she heard the Father whisper: “You were born for such a time like this. Just raise up those that I – your Heavenly Father- bring across your path. You can do it as impossible as it seems. There will be many more tears for those I will bring along, but smile through those tears, because they are kept by Me, your Father and are not in vain. Meanwhile hold your head up high and keep going. You Will see more and more Christ Like Esthers rising up. You can do it dear one, and encourage others to start running with you. And when you feel tired and wearisome, just lift up your voice in praise. In your praises, you will hear me speak and rejoice over you to keep on keeping on. Just breathe, sing, get up and run again”
Now here comes God’s go-ahead to all you young ladies and mothers young and old. Can you take the challenge to be the Esther as described in the Old Testament and believe that you were indeed born for “such a time like this” like she was for her time? If you are just starting out, know you are smart, intelligent, skilful. The blue print is inside of you already. God’s preparation for your life and all that is needed to accomplish that plan. Pull it out now and ask God what part He wants you to play in this historic time. Because what happens today is history tomorrow. Can you decide to make your story, His story instead of Satan’s story? There are only two kind of story books written on this earth, God’s storybook or the Enemies storybook. Which one are you part of or want to be part of? If you realised you were playing in the wrong story on this earth, you can still switch. When you decide to switch, get surrounded by God’s story keepers to help you.
To the brothers and men, will you support the ladies to raise their voice for that what is right in a Godly environment without threats of the men’s world? You fathers can you help your wife and support her all you can this year in raising the kids God brought in your lives and do it in teamwork instead of competition? Can you both bring up boys and girls with character, that know who and what they are. If we become the Christ like brothers and sisters, we can raise this generation in what God intended for them to be and do.
Isn’t it high time we will save what is truly precious to us. Our kids and grandkids, our families. Can we build back up the lives that are broken in so many cases now because there are Christ like Esthers and Christ like Joshuas , Josephs and Daniels of this time? When we stand before those 100,000 plus fathers and mothers, grandfathers, great and great great grandfathers and mothers, will we be able to look them confidently in the eyes and say: “ Thank you for giving up your life for Christ, for us so we were able to live free and worship God and see a miracle working God in our midst, see righteousness flourish and God’s plan for the land you died for fulfilled. It was not in vain, because we too carried on!”
Like Paul said in Colossians 1:10, 11-” My prayer for all of you is to take up this Christ like challenge: that you will walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. So you and the ones you raise will become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in his fullness!
It is my prayer that you would be energised with all his explosive power from the realm of his magnificent glory, filling you with great hope to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us if we continue living in the light and pull those walking in darkness into the light we enjoy walking in” .
You might have to step into that darkness not to become part of it but to pull those out, that are sinking in there.
Rise up Esthers! Rise up Daniels! I truly believe that if you are living on this earth today, you were born for such a time like this. To save those who still want to be rescued.
In humble adoration to all those who already stood up and stand out now and fought for the ones no one cared about believing they could still make it successfully and not just pass. All things are possible when we believe in them, and trust God is backing us up if we speak and live faith filled words!
Happy Mother’s day to all mothers out there!
