TOPIC: From Evil Day To Good Day (TREM Devotional 20 December 2022)
“As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.” Esther 9:22 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
Are you going through a challenging season in your life? Are you faced with a life-threatening situation right now? Is the devil closing in on you and you seem hopeless and helpless? If that is you, blow your nose and dry your tears, get ready for a supernatural turnaround.
In the book of Esther, Haman was a mortal enemy of the Jews and he had received authorization from the King to exterminate all the Jews in the land of Shushan between Ethiopia and India in a particular day. This was done according to the laws of Medes and Persia that could not be changed.

Take time to read the story in Esther 3:12-15. It was a day of mourning and a day of sorrow. The Jews thought that they had no chance. However, God was working for His covenant children behind the scenes. The God that we serve is still alive today and He is working for us (Malachi 3:6) ‘’ For I am the Lord I change not; therefore, ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”
What He did before, He can do today; because Mordecai and Esther rested in God Haman was hung in the very gallows that he constructed for Mordecai (Esther 7:10). It did not end there; the King also allowed Queen Esther and Mordecai to issue a counter-decree to allow the Jews to defend themselves and destroy their enemies on the same day evil was planned for them. Their evil day was turned to a good day, a day of joy. Get ready for your turnaround.
We are a few days to the end of the year, but it is more than enough time for a turnaround. Stand in faith and never give up, God is turning it around for you. This year will end in praise in Jesus’ name.

The peace of God which passes all understanding keeps my heart and my mind through Christ Jesus and my thoughts are on things which are good and pure and perfect and lovely and of good report. I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Philippians 4:7-8, Galatians 2:20; Romans 8:2)
The Lord will comfort me in all sides, He will make my wilderness to blossom and my desert shall be like the garden of the Lord, joy, peace and gladness shall continually be in my house. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord will be a shield to me and my entire family (Isa 51: 3, Psalm 125:2)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose. I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom.
IT IS MY WEEK OF ACCELERATION!
