Esther didn’t realise she was a warrior.
She didn’t know that beneath the silk robes and palace perfume was a woman of wisdom, strategy, and divine favour.
Like many of us today, she enjoyed a season of comfort while chaos brewed quietly in the background. The threat didn’t affect her directly. It was out there, just a headline, someone else’s problem, not her lane.
Until it wasn’t.

Haman’s plot reached her doorstep. The silence of safety no longer felt holy. Suddenly, the throne wasn’t just a privilege. It was a platform.
Esther had a choice stay silent or stand up. She chose the harder path.
Esther wore favour like armour unseen
She used it wisely, calm yet keen.
Favour is not just for battles to win
But for building, leading, and reigning within.
Not marble walls, but mindsets. Comfort zones. Job security. Followers and influence. But what do we do when injustice knocks?
When family dysfunctions worsen?
When society decays and the church retreats into silence?
Some ignore it.
Others justify it.
“I don’t want trouble”
“As long as I’m okay”
“It’s not my assignment”
But there is an Esther within you.
The part of you that remembers who you were before life made you polite.
The part that knows silence is expensive.
The part that realises your voice was not given for vanity, but for victory.
This is not just about palace politics.
It is about real life.
When the family feud escalates
Will you step in with grace and truth? Fast and pray.
When the colleague is bullied or isolated at work
Will you speak up or walk past? Fast and pray.
When your child is struggling silently
Will you ignore the signs or seek their heart?
When your church plays it safe
Will you intercede or stay passive? Fast and pray.
When leadership fails
Will you criticise or become the light? Fast and pray
Esther reminds us that true courage is not the absence of fear, but the surrender to purpose.
You were raised for this.
You carry treasures you’ve not yet tapped.
The battle does not always need your blade just your boldness.
And when surrender meets boldness
Favour fights for you.

Prayer Declaration:
I declare that I carry divine wisdom, favour, and strategy.
I will not be silent when it matters most.
Like Esther, I rise in boldness, clothed with purpose.
I choose responsibility over comfort.
Heaven backs my obedience.
I win battles without bloodshed because the Esther within me is awake.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bekemified-Pampered. Prepared. Positioned
