We are slowly coming towards the end of our journey through
the amazing book of Esther. I truly hope you have been blessed! The Word of God
holds such amazing treasure that is just waiting to be uncovered! My utmost and
continuous 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 8: This is the story about how Haman’s property was
given to Esther and how Mordecai was elevated by the king. It also tells of how
a decree was sent out to nullify Haman’s earlier decree to kill all Jews.
Lessons:
Vs 1-2: God’s favor on me is like an umbrella that covers
those around me. Mordecai benefited from God’s favor upon Esther. Also, when
God blesses me, I must not forget those who supported me. I shouldn’t also
forget family.
Vs 3: Esther and her Uncle’s life were not in danger
anymore but Esther did not forget about the rest of her people. She still went
to the king again to please for the lives of the masses.
Vs 6: When God elevates me, I must not turn a blind eye to
the suffering of the masses. I still have responsibility to care for them and
to fight for their cause. God always takes care of His people even if they are in a
foreign land.
Vs 16: When God fights for you, you will be honored
wherever you are.
Vs 17: People should see/hear about what God has done for
you and because of that, want to be like you and most of all, want to know God.
Prayer has amazing power. Because prayers were offered when
the evil decree was issued, God turned the decree around for their own good at
the end of it all. In fact, Mordecai had the privilege of writing the new
decree himself.
Favor with God is definitely favor with man.
God’s favor always sets a person apart even among thousands
of people. May God’s favor fight for you and your family… One with God is
majority!
I hope you are blessed.
In Christ,
Ishanpepe!
