At such a time as this ! TESF
I remember the book of Esther and the story .. in this book we have 4 main characters
Esther
Hamman
Mordecai
The king Azerius
BUT I BRING THIS STORY UP NOT REALLY TO TALK ABOUT THE XTERS BUT WHAT ESTHER DID “at a time like that in that century – thousands of years ago”
She did not think she was young or just a Jewish girl … an ordinary girl?
She did not think she was not useful to turn things around at a time like this !! SHE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY!
She became a solution provider for her tribe & people. In these days , l would call her a history maker, an evangelist, a true disciple of Christ Jesus.
And so l asked myself , what are the privileges l have today, in this season, at a time like this in my Nation, in Africa and the World ? It threw me into a long 11 year journey of ups and downs traveling on a narrow straight road of disappointments, betrayals, dislikes, misrepresentations, and even lack at sometimes.
It is to demonstrate God’s love to all but to call forth all Elites to be cured and come out of their addiction and bondages to the spirit of SELF, WASTE, PRIDE, LACK OF EMPATHY AND PARTICULARLY ACCOUNTABILITY. Taking charge and being responsible.
In the book of Esther l see God’s love at work for a race (the Israelites). I see two people who were not afraid to stand up and speak out despite the deadly consequences that may erupt !! And l daresay, l took stock a while back of my life and deep down knowing the inequalities were massive took up the call … to reform my views, change my mindset and do my part concerning my role in society as an Elite. I started with passion but became weakened by the thorns and challenges of life… going through diverse challenges & trials and though l knew God had called me out for this purpose and in my generation at a time like we are in… finances was scarce, volunteers low but God kept speaking and knocking at my heart … and l kept asking for the help of the holy spirit as l wrote multiple messages and prayed for enablement, courage and boldness to SPEAK -OUT !!
I don’t want to fall short of what He has called me out to speak to Elites. I pray for a miracle in each person’s heart reading my publication to become open to God and ask for understanding and wisdom towards their role as an Elite … Why has God blessed me? Why was l born into a rich family? Why was l able to make it to the position l am in at work, in business, in governance, in the church/mosque, in society at large. Am l living right ? Am l solving problems? Am l useful to God’s agenda for mankind? Am l glorifying God ?
How many people (Elites) care for Godly things being promoted in media ? Fight against injustice ? Fight against corruption and acquiring wealth at any cost? Turning the blind eye to the lack of others in society – Depravity, lack, poverty, hunger, injustice,
Dictating how a whole Nation should be governed via our constitution is in the hands of Elites,
and sadly even as written it is not adhered too even with all its imperfections !!!
We are living in a time where we have thrown away our conscience.
⁃ Rule of law thrown out
⁃ Equality at State & National levels in the education of all children
⁃ Intelligentsia at work and not practical remedies to priorities
Makes a lot of sense ! A real mind re-engineering
