Memory Verse: Esther 4:16

“…and so will 1 go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and ifl perish, I perish. “

Bible Text: Esther 4:10-14

¹⁰Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;

¹¹All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

¹²And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words.

¹³Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.

¹⁴For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Lesson Introduction

In this time in which we are (presently), a lot of demonic activities are in operation and children of God are dropping their guards. Every believer should know that they are in a particular position to effect divine plans and establish reigns for Christ.

Daniel in the land of Babylon knew why he was there. He was not there to eat the king’s food but to enthrone righteousness and silence all evil operations in that land.

Daniel 1:8 talked of his firm refusal to lose focus in such a time as this. May the Almighty God help us to know the importance of the present time in which we are.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIME

Let’s look at the time we are in:

a. Perilous time – 2 Timothy 3:1.

b. Time, full of hatred, self-centredness – Gen, 27:41; 37:18-20,

с. Time of ingratitude – Judges 15:18-19.

d. Time of pains, affliction and abandonment. Num. 14:43; Deut. 32:15.

e. Time of worshipping of Mammon. Matt. 6:24; Luke 16:11.

f. Time of laziness, less work but anticipating more gains, c.g. Yahoo boys.

WHAT ARE THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND AND WIN IN THIS TIME?

I. The Word of God – Psalms 119:105.

ii. The hearing ear and seeing eye – Proverbs 20:12

iii. Living in holiness – 1 Peter 1:15-16.

iv. Following peace with people – Hebrews 12:14.

v. Grieving not the Holy Spirit – Ephesians 4:30.

MAKING THE BEST USE OF THE TIME

To make best use of time means investing in your time positively, engaging in activities that provide a high fulfilment to someone and others around you.

Develop your mental capacity and inner virtue.
Keep a time diary to access your daily time usage.
Cut off activities that make your time unyielding and unfulfilling.
Think positively on what matters and on things that are profitable.
Know that there is time for everything and time used positively brings gain.

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF THOSE WHO UTILISED THEIR TIME WELL

1. Esther rescued the Jews from Haman’s plot – Esther 7:10.

2. Moses delivered Israelites from bondage of 430 years- Exo. 3.

3. Elisha destroyed the curse that caged a nation for ycars – Judges 6:26. 1 Kings 2:22

4. David deployed his ability to win and stop humiliation of 40 days – 1 Sam, 17:16

5. Jesus came to save the whole world – Matt. 18:11: Luke 19:10.
