15 When Mordecai left the king’s presence, he was WEARING ROYAL GARMENTS, Esther 8

15 When Mordecai left the king’s presence, he was WEARING ROYAL GARMENTS of blue and white, a large crown of gold and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa held a joyous celebration. (Haman had Susa Bewildered, Esther 3:15) 16 For the Jews it was A TIME OF HAPPINESS AND JOY, GLADNESS AND HONOUR. (God will do this again for His people) Esther 8

LORD, GIVE US NEW CLOTHES FOR THE COMING NEW YEAR!

The servants of a ruler have something in their dress and demeanour (the way they Carry Themselves) which speaks of their identity. Very few wear the ‘crown of gold’ in our walk here but someday we will wear a crown because He has ordained it.

41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.’ 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in ROBES OF FINE LINEN AND PUT A GOLD CHAIN ROUND HIS NECK. 43 He made him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, Genesis 41

Joseph, was sold into slavery and help in an Egyptian prison until the age of thirty. Then he stood before Pharaoh and stepped into an entirely new identity. God needs His Children to step into our true identity here, to rule and reign for Him. Don’t think it’s too late, His timing is perfect for us.

The year of the Lord’s favour

61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
    to proclaim freedom for the captives
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour
    and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
    and provide for those who grieve in Zion –
to bestow on them a CROWN OF BEAUTY
    instead of ashes,
the OIL OF JOY
    instead of mourning,
and a GARMENT OF PRAISE
    instead of a spirit of despair.
They (it’s US) will be called OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
    a planting of the Lord
    for the display of his splendour. Isaiah 61

This is Christ’s manifesto, revealed centuries before He came to this earth and it hasn’t changed. He’s calling us to Rule and Reign with Him, to step into all that He has for us now.

WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE GREAT KING, MAY WE UPGRADE AND STEP INTO OUR TRUE CALLING MORE AND MORE IN THE COMING YEAR.

God bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
