YOU HAVE A GOOD SUBSTITUTE. DON'T MISS YOUR ETERNAL OPPORTUNITY .
God has given each of us a unique assignment which is a crucial part of our divine purpose, our task on earth. However, the work or task itself is so important to God's eternal, over all purpose that it must be completed—with or without us.There's no greater honor and privilege than to be distinguished and chosen by God out of the sea of humanity, and then mandated to function in a certain capacity, just for His glory.

Now, the danger here is, we often think God chose us because of some very unique, special, and uncommon gift or merit we possess above everyone else in the whole world! I'm talking about our present or future roles as ministers, spouses, leaders, benefactors etc.

Soon, we initiate an insidious, subtle, and highly dangerous romantic affair with the false idea that nobody in the whole wide world can perform this task, look so adorable and wonderful, or tolerate such injustice, hardship, or persecution or whatever like us! Never, ever consider yourself indispensable! don't ever buy that terrible lie from the Devil! Only God is indispensable. Remember this, He always has a competent substitute to take our place! God is too sharp, smart, and alert to completely trust our frail, fragile, and fickle disposition with His precise, perfect, and highly urgent eternal program!

1 Samuel 15:22, 26-29.
But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. .......But Samuel replied, “I will not go back with you! Since you have rejected the Lord’s command, he has rejected you as king of Israel.” As Samuel turned to go, Saul tried to hold him back and tore the hem of his robe. And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to someone else—one who is better than you. And he who is the Glory of Israel will not lie, nor will he change his mind, for he is not human that he should change his mind!”

Esther 4:13,14.
Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: “Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed. 14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

Acts 18:5,6.
And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent all his time preaching the word. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his clothes and said, “Your blood is upon your own heads—I am innocent. From now on I will go preach to the Gentiles.”

IF WE FAIL TO ACCEPT AND FULFIL GOD'S UNIQUE CALL FOR US, GOD WILL HAVE TO USE A SUPERIOR SUBSTITUTE. GOD'S ASSIGNMENT IS PRIMARY PARAMOUNT AND FOREMOST!
Our substitutes for any divine role, assignment, or purpose are currently alive, well, and waiting! For humans, substitutes are usually alternatives and inferior, but not with God! His chosen substitutes are always superior to His rejected heroes!

We must never permit pride and conceit to blindfold us from appreciating, honouring and glorifying God for the rear and very great privilege of being chosen and then used to glorify the precious name of Jesus Christ here on earth. This is our only opportunity, we must never lose it or toy with it!

There's this subtle dangerous force, a spiritual plague that pulls people down into darkness and doom called - Pride. This is a silent killer, a destiny destroyer that actually makes God your enemy! Beware, it's your real enemy! We need to come down in order to go up, we don't climb trees from the top. Pride makes us more like Satan than the saints we are. Needless to say, it depletes our spiritual power and effectiveness! Let's attack pride every day and time in our prayers, determined that nothing should pull us down in Jesus name, amen. Remember that God promotes the humble without limits. I know your promotion is due, congratulations! James 4:5-7; Proverbs 11:2; Proverbs 29:23.

Therefore, don't delay, disobey, or disappoint the King of kings and Lord of lords. If you missed it anywhere, confess that fault promptly to Him and be restored. Let's humble ourselves and please Him first by our absolute focus, faith, obedience, and enthusiasm. Give Him wholehearted thanks and praise regularly for the opportunity to serve God and humanity. Play your role promptly and effectively, Jesus Christ is coming back soon!

Hallelujah!
Read Esther 1;10-22; Esther 4:14; 1Samuel 13:8-14; ; Matthew 24:43,44
