Up to Half the Kingdom

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning,

I hope you are doing well. 

Today is Memorial Monday - The Financial Accelerator. (You can learn more about the 7 Accelerators here)

Mondays are a reminder that a Memorial Portion, just one very small step of faith, can help you remember that God is with you and He's more than enough. One small step of faith can open up a supernatural flow of whatever you need. 

When Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves, it started with just a little bit of bread and fish. 

When the widow woman was down to her last meal Elijah had her make him a small cake first. 

If finances are tight... Give a few dollars.

If a relationship is strained... Do one small kind act for the person. 

If you are pressed for time... Give away a few minutes to someone else.

If something looks overwhelming take one small step in that direction. 

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month we have been talking about Resetting Your Confidence, away from yourself to being confident in God and the finished works of Jesus. 

And recently we talked about how we can approach God with freedom and confidence. 

This reminded me of the story of Esther in chapters 4 and 5. In this story, Esther has become queen, and when her people were in trouble, she was scared to approach the king. She was scared because anyone who approached the king without being invited risked being killed if the king did not hold out his golden scepter to them.

Think about this for a moment, she was risking her life to approach the king. In the Old Testament, it was also very risky to approach God.

But we can approach God with freedom and confidence.

Here is what happened when Esther approached the king in Esther 5:1-3:

"On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. 2 When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter. Then the king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you.”

Esther was scared to approach the king, but when she did he wanted to give her up to half the kingdom.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us be confident in how much he wants to share his kingdom with us.

Physical exercise is meant to teach us how to exercise our faith. And one of the keys is to exercise in a way that allows you to be consistent over time.
