“for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?”
Esther 8:6 KJV
Queen Esther pleaded with king Ahaseurus for the lives of the Jews condemned to death by the king’s decree. “How can I stand to see this catastrophe wipe out my people? How can I bear to stand by and watch the massacre of my own relatives?” Through Esther’s intercession the Jews survived and her testimony is included in the Scriptures of how God did the impossible. Today, the Lord Jesus Christ has remitted the sin of all mankind on the Cross so that judgment has been taken away for those who believe in Christ and we have passed from eternal death to eternal life. This good news awaits all people and God has ordained the Body of Christ, the Church, to make disciples of all the nations, preach the glorious Gospel to the nations. As Esther interceded for her people, Jesus tells us to “pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” That’s our intercession that the harvest in our nation will be plenty because the Lord of the harvest has raised many labourers to bring in the harvest. Let’s join the labour force and seek for the end-time harvest in our nation. Amen!
