Enlargement comes with deliverance

Looking at the Unseen
ESTHER 4:14 KJV
“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Israel was at risk of destruction at the instigation and evil plotting of Haman. Mordecai was depending on Esther for her intervention, using her influence over the king.
Esther had depended on Mordecai for her ascension into her privileged position. Although Mordecai depended on Esther, he was not solely resting on her effort. If she failed to use her privileged position to access and implore the king on behalf of Israel, deliverance would come from other quarters.
He was not putting all his eggs in one basket on the means and ways of their deliverance.
God would somehow bring Israel out of the impending peril, with or without Esther.
No man should ever think that he is the only source of your salvation or escape from the jaws of any predicament.
God can raise stones instead of any person, to do His will. He has no shortage of ways and means. No man should think they are indispensable and that lives of others depend on them.
What strikes is that Israel was facing extermination, but Mordecai was looking beyond that to see an enlarged and delivered Israel.
Spiritual Israel takes more territory in times of war than of peace. Mordecai was not seeing their destruction. He went beyond that to see an enlarged Israel.
In danger, see an extended and enlarged you.
He saw Israel delivered and enlarged. He saw Israel better than before the danger it was facing.
When God delivers you, he enlarges you.
God promised to enlarge Israel after deliverance from Egyptian bondage. He promised to enlarge Israel’s borders after bondage. Glory.
Exodus 34:24: “For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.”
When God enlarges your borders, you shall not desire land. You shall not lack land.
It is a principle of the Bible that after deprivation comes plenty. After 400 years of bondage, Israel came out with plenty. They spoiled the Egyptians. It is a principle that after bondage, a slave will not go out empty. He will be liberally furnished by the former master. On returning to her land, the Samaritan woman whose son had been raised from the dead by Elisha, repossessed her land and fruits of seven years.
The Bible says God will restore the years. The years of plenty are returning. Amen.
Deliverance comes with enlargement.
Jabez was born poor and deprived. His mother bore him with sorrow. He refused to remain in that condition. He refused to be held down by his background. He prayed a prayer of deliverance and enlargement.
1 Chronicles 4:10 KJV: “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”
After the prayer, the commentary wrote: “And God granted him what he requested. To the dot. Ask and you will receive. Knock and it will be open. Seek and you will find. His coast was enlarged. He was delivered from evil and granted blessings. You too can ask for deliverance and enlargement.”
God wants to enlarge your territory, your mind, your finances. But you must ask. Do not look up to man and fixate all your faith in what men can do. Enlargement and deliverance come from the Lord. When Mordecai asked Esther to help, but believing a God who is resourceful, God caused Esther to obtain favour before the King.
God made the king to lose sleep. He asked for the chronicles. Mordecai’s forgotten story was resuscitated. Your forgotten story will be resurrected. The tables were turned. God made Haman to hang on his own gallows. God delivered Israel. Joy came in the camp. Deliverance and enlargement were enjoyed.
You will not return from bondage empty.
When Jesus rose from the dead, He came out with the keys of hell, death and the grave. He gave power to His disciples. The church now has power. Power to ask anything and bind anything.
Your health, finances, profession and vocation will receive enlargement after you have suffered setbacks.
Look around for deliverance. Look around for God to come through. He has no shortage of ways and means to help you.
Deliverance comes with enlargement.
