DIVINE PACKAGING (EXAMPLE OF QUEEN ESTHER)

Esther 2:7(And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. 8 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the King’s house, to the custody of Hagai, keeper of women).

As we continue in this line of message THE PURPOSE; even though the product is designed to meet a specific purpose but for it to get the attention of those it meant for; there will be need for packaging. The way you package your product will determine whether it will sell or not. God the manufacturer knows the beginning and the end; He already knows the end user of His product before manufacturing it. Every product is unique and packaged to meet the need and satisfy the taste of the people. The bible tells us that after God finished His work during creation He said that everything is good (Genesis 1:21). When He gave Adam his wife; Adam said the woman is beautiful and called her flesh of his flesh (Genesis 2:23). Whatever is not good is not of God; if it is not good that means the destroyer has polluted the original purpose because that’s his job. He came to seal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). The good news is, Jesus came to repair whatever he has destroyed.

Queen Esther was divinely packaged to meet the exact need of King Ahasuerus; her being in that kingdom at that time was not an accident, it was for a purpose. Her purpose was to save the life of others; that’s why I know for sure that whatever you are going through now is for your lifting in Jesus name. God is preparing you for your throne so that you will not be disgraced or dethroned prematurely like Queen Vashti (Esther 1:12-19). Friends, when your time to be enthroned comes no one will stand on your way in Jesus name; every obstacle will be cleared off. The King’s wise men described the woman that should replace Queen Vashti and it fit the perfect picture of Queen Esther. God anointed and prepared her for that period with oil of favor; that same oil is coming upon someone reading this message now in Jesus name. Esther was manufactured and given to Mordecai as his daughter because she was an orphan, she was a special child and was raised to see herself as queen in making and behave as such. Being an orphan and a slave does not stop her from getting to her destination. When the time came for her to manifest her destiny as a deliverer her uncle needed to remind her that she was created for this particular purpose and that was a wakeup call for Queen Esther. Esther 4:14(For 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?) At times we need a soft or harsh reminder from God to know why we are here in the first place. Those words empowered Esther and she was strengthening and said if she perishes she perishes but the job has to be done. Esther 4:16(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). Until we face our assignment with if I perish, I perish mentality we will not be able to fulfill our destiny in life. I pray for someone reading this right now you will not be paralyze by the spirit of fear in Jesus name. I decree boldness upon you right now in Jesus name. Esther defeated Haman without physical ammunition but spiritual and famine advantage. You are created to be a woman for a purpose and that purpose is what you need to find. The description of Esther and that of David should tell you that God knows why he made you the way you are; it is not His fault that you have not discovered yourself. That word because you are a woman is ammunition against your confidence, don’t fall for it. I am not saying you should be rude and not give men their place, Esther did not disrespect the King like Queen Vashti does and yet she won her battle and fulfilled her destiny. Parents, please train your girl child well and don’t weaken her by telling her because she is a woman she cannot be an Engineer or a pilot. That word limits their ability to be who God has designed them to be; it is a confidence killer. Let your girl child grow naturally in the Lord, the best gift you can give any child is to train them in the way of God. Mordecai trained Esther in the way of God and she behaves very well and very strong and wise. Esther’s approach in solving the problem of Jews was to please God first and seek His face in prayer and fasting. Our relationship with God should be our priority; it is only God that can turn the king's heart to favor you. Friends, here is another opportunity to enter into a relationship with God, in case you have not by praying this salvation prayer below.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
