Lessons from esther on how to increase your visibility by transforming your mindset

In my previous post, I talked about Hegai (the King’s eunch’s) role in helping Esther secure the crown

But that wasn’t the main thing that made the King choose her

“So, what was?!” I hear you ask

According to Esther 2:15 and 17, it was favour
So let’s break that down

When I hear the word “favour” it immediately puts me in mind of the concept of grace

Why?

Because grace is by definition “the unmerited favour of God”

In other words…

Without the belief that:

  1. You have God’s favour

  2. He will cause people to favour you also

  3. He made you “for such a time as this”

You won’t go towards your goals or the desires that He gave you

Because we go in the direction of of our beliefs

We see that play out in Esther 4:10-11 when Esther expressed fear of going to see the king about calling off the proposed genocide of her people

And…

We see it in modern day stats that show that women feel less at ease going for their goals by promoting themselves than men- which in turn means that they're less likely to do it.

Can you relate, sis?

What needs to be understood is that walking in God’s favour is a lifestyle that is born out of your mindset. Here are 4 tools that I use to develop it.

#1 Studying

Since we go in the direction of our beliefs, Romans 12:2 says that we can only transform our behaviour by changing our mindset or “by the renewing of [our] minds”. I do this through:

  1. Bible study

  2. Reading books by experts on the topic, secular or otherwise

  3. Attending or watching talks by experts on the topic

#2 Prayer


Studying the Bible helps us to renew our minds because it enlightens us about the promises that God has for us. This knowledge then gives us the confidence to:

  • Know that it is our birthright

  • Ask for it in prayer

Which, in turn, allows us the opportunity to manifest our desires. Not sure how to pray so effectively? Join my free resource library to download the 5 major steps to being audacious in prayer

#3 Affirmations

Aside from prayer, I like to use affirmations.

Yes, I know!

In some Christian circles, the word "affirmation" can come across as taboo or having affiliations with the new age/occult- but The Bible shares on numerous occassions about the power of our words (and it's ability to influence our lives for good or bad). As such, I like to write Biblical affirmations and use them in 3 simple ways. Press play to hear!

#4 Journalling

As I shared in a recent post, I love journalling because it:

Helps you get to the root of your mindset issues

Especially if you use “the 5 whys” technique

Helps you go from trauma to triumph

I like to do this by:

  • Writing down my affirmations

  • Confronting toxic thoughts through this 3 step process
