Hello there!
Our journey isn’t over yet. Today we continue our journey
with part 6 of the amazing book of Esther. I keep calling this book amazing
because it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Honestly journeying through this book has exposed
me to so much lessons as I prepare not only to be a godly wife but also as I strive
to grow in my knowledge of the Word. My utmost desire is that you will be
blessed by these lessons and most of all be challenged to act on them. I also
urge you to read the chapters from your Bible so that you may gain better
insight into the story of Esther as we continue this journey together.
Esther 6: This is the story of how Mordecai’s good deeds
are remembered and he is honored by the king in front of the whole city.
Lessons:
Vs 1: When God wants to bless me, he will cause important
men to lose sleep because of me! He will not allow them to have peace until I am
blessed and rewarded accordingly. It was because the king could not sleep that
he requested for the historical records to be brought to him and then he found
out about Mordecai’s revelation of an assassination plot against his life.
Vs 2: God always remembers and rewards good deeds. I must
never relent in doing good. Even if I am not rewarded for it immediately or at
all, I must not be weary in well doing…The Bible says that we shall reap if we
faint not. (Galatians 6:9)
Vs 5-10: God has a wonderful sense of humor and His ways
are mind-blowing and perfect. Just when my enemies will come to plot against me
is when God will choose to publicly shame them and use them to reward me! God works
in wondrous ways. God has a way of turning bad circumstances to my favor. Great
God!
Vs 11: When I do good in secret, God will reward me
publicly. Mordecai literally saved the king’s life. Nothing was done to honor
him but did he resent and begin to misbehave? No! he kept on working at the
palace gate and serving God until his day of reward finally came and the whole
city got to know what he had done. Also, what I do in secret should honor God
so that when it is public knowledge, it will be a thing of joy and not of shame
and ridicule.
Vs 12: When God publicly honors me, my enemies will be
publicly disgraced as well. Bottom line.
Vs 13: Even the advisers of my enemies will see the
handwork of God in my life and admit defeat. The way God will honor me will
shake their evil plans to the very foundation and they will begin to doubt the
success of their plans.
The Bible
says that no weapon formed against me shall prosper… the Bible also says that
they that trust in God shall never be put to shame… they are so many parts of
the Bible that speak of the sad end of evil men. Their plans will never prosper
over the lives of any child of God because we are protected and flanked by God
on every side.
It is
important to honor God wherever I am because when He chooses to reward me, the
whole world will hear of it. It pays to serve Jesus. It pays to do god. It pays
to honor God. All my enemies will be put to shame because I have chosen to
honor God.
Pray with me:
“Glorious God, thank You for the very many lessons from
Esther 6! Its amazing how You turn bad circumstances into god in favor of your
children. Thank You because though my enemies will plot against me, their plans
shall fail. Thank You because You reward those who honor You and do good. You are
a great God. I worship You. Halleluyah.”
I really hope that the lessons from this chapter have
blessed you.
In Christ,
Shanpepe.
