TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Knowing Who You Are Attracts Enmity (10)

MEMORY VERSE: 
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”

BIBLE READING:
Esther 3:5-6
“5. When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down or show him respect, he was filled with rage.” 
“6. He had learned of Mordecai’s nationality, so he decided it was not enough to lay hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he looked for a way to destroy all the Jews throughout the entire empire of Xerxes.”
Our stand for God will profit us and what we believe will surely be rewarded. 
Two days ago, we talked about record of Mordecai’s good gesture being recorded but wasn’t rewarded. Instead, Haman was lifted which was also one of the reasons for Mordecai not bowing to him. Mordecai was adamant with his decision which provoked Haman to seek for revenge. Now, Haman went the extra mile to include the entire Jews in order to get at Mordecai but he never knew he was treading on a path to his own death. 
Your righteous stand and decisions attracts more enmity to you and to those that are loyal and close to you. This is the reason your enemy seek revenge on your children instead of you. Doing God’s will attracts enmity, evil act and negative reactions. That you didn’t offend them but they choose to be your enemy is as a result of your way of life not because you have hurt them. When you know who you are in Christ the devil is angry and uses any means to get at you. Don’t be distracted, don’t be afraid because God is on your side and he will keep everyone who look up to Him in safety. Your identity attract more enmity.
Good Day and God bless you.

TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Knowing Who You Are (9)

MEMORY VERSE: 
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”

BIBLE READING:
Esther 3:1-2.
“1. After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.”
“2. And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.”
HAPPY EASTER
Mordecai from our Bible reading today teaches us a lesson as Christians which is so important. Knowing who we are and to whom to bow is part of the life of Jesus Christ. In Luke Chapter 4 verse 4 to 8, we read of how Jesus was tempted by the devil to bow to him in order to give him the whole earth and Jesus made it known that, only God should be worship and not man. Likewise, Mordecai did the same here, since He was a Jew, he recognized His position that he is above Haman regardless of his title and he refuses to bow to him. 
Many of us has bowed to what should bow to us, in order to please the world, get money or get title. Some christians have bowed to human, principalities and thrones. Some women in the name of Job bowed to immorality likewise men. Some ladies sacrificed their virginity for marriage promises but later loose on both sides. What pressure are you bowing to? The three Hebrew boys told the King, we will not bow to your God because we know who we are. Until you discover your identity you will always bow to circumstances and human. Do you know who you are?
This is who we are as Christian,
1 Peter 2:9.
“9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
When you know your juridiction then you can know what your rights are. Identify who you are and live according.
Good Day and God bless you.
