Crowned Through SurrenderSample

The Call to Arise

In the same way that God called Esther to surrender for His purposes, He is calling women today to step into their God-given destiny. Oftentimes, we say, "I'm waiting on the Lord." There is a time and season for waiting on the Lord, but it seems that He is usually waiting on us to get on page with His ways.

You are placed where you are for a reason. The circumstances you face, the relationships you have, and the influence you carry are all part of God’s plan. You are not here by accident, and He is calling you into a place of passion and purpose for His glory and your blessings.

God is calling you to arise with courage, to act with boldness, and to trust Him with the outcome. Will you respond to His call today? Like Esther, you have a purpose that goes beyond your own comfort. Step forward with faith, knowing that God is with you, guiding your steps, and preparing the way for you to fulfill His will.

God is not waiting for women to be perfect. He is looking for hearts that say “yes.” Just as Esther risked her life to stand before the king, many women today are being asked to stand in faith and to speak truth, to pray with boldness, to lead with integrity, to love fiercely, and to reflect Jesus in a world that desperately needs His light.

To be a vessel for Jesus means:

• Embracing your identity: You are not who the world says you are; you are who God says you are. You are chosen, beloved, equipped, and called. (1 Peter 2:9)
• Walking in obedience: Like Esther, it may take courage to step into uncomfortable places, but your obedience can shift destinies for your family, your workplace, your church, and beyond. (Joshua 1:9)
• Staying connected to God: Esther fasted and sought godly guidance before acting. A woman of influence must also be a woman of prayer and surrender. (James 5:16)
• Using your voice: Silence, when God calls you to speak, is disobedience. Esther’s voice saved a nation. Your voice, rooted in truth and love, can bring healing, justice, and hope. (Esther 4:14)

Today is the day to rise up into your rightful place with the Lord.

Prayer:

Lord, I say yes to Your call, trust Your leading, use my voice, and walk boldly in obedience. In Jesus' name, Amen.
