We have entered the month of Tevet on the Hebrew calendar on Tuesday December 12 and this is the month we remember Esther and her promotion into the house of Ahasuerus.

Esther 2:15-16 reads, “ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.”

In this month of promotion you have not only received a mantle, and mantle assignments but now you will have the favor to pursue the assignments. That will be favor that will encompass you as a shield (Psalm 5:12). This favor was upon the hero’s of the faith as God used them mightily to accomplish the plans and purposes that He had for them. God has a plan for you and HIs favor is needed upon your life to accomplish this purpose.

Jesus had favor from Luke 2:52, “ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

Favor is a key that opens doors that no man can shut because those doors are open to accomplish God’s purpose. You have been called, anointed and appointed and God is going to use you mightily in 2024. This is a time to learn to walk in this favor. Favor is being released and angels are all around you as God prepares you for 2024 assignments. During this week of Christmas , thank Him for His son Jesus Christ who made a way that through His shed blood we may walk in the unmerited favor and grace of God for salvation, healing, restoration, eternal life and so much more! Set time aside this week as a dedicated vessel of the Lord to thank Him for His favor upon your life ! Merry Christmas!
