Fulfilling Your Destiny

Ester 4:14 “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Is destiny a matter of choice or chance?

Your choices will determine your destiny

Who determines your destiny?

Who determines the purpose of the vessel, of course the potter; the purpose of the house, of course the builder; apple tree, of course the gardener.

I have a unique (matchless; irreplaceable) calling on my life

Favor leads to protection

Purpose for Favor?

No father and mother

Captive

Some of you are in the place of favor and you are not fulfilling it’s purpose

Some of you are in the place of preparation to see the King

Some of you are in the place of pleasing or serving the King

Some of you are in the place of total disaster, emptiness and captivity
