Participation equals inclusion while non participation
amounts to exclusion.
Esther participated in the search for a queen contest and
God gave her victory. Her participation in the search for a queen contest made
it possible for her to be planted in the palace as queen to King Ahasuerus in
the kingdom. If she had not participated in the contest, she would not have won
and be planted in the palace. The implication is that she would have missed out
on divine purpose by refusing to participate in the search for a queen contest.
Participation gives you platforms to connect with people
whether socially, politically, academically and economically. As you
participate, you meet and interact with people and in the process connect to
people God designed for you to interact with in order for you to achieve
purpose. You are not Moses who has to be at the backside of the desert for
forty years. Moses had to be at the backside of the desert for a divine purpose
and if your purpose differs from that of Moses, then you have no business being
at the backside of the desert.
