TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Tell It To God (12)
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”
BIBLE READING:
Esther 4:15-16.
“15. Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,”
“16. Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; …”
Today shall bring you Joy, headway, and fresh inspiration to those situations that seems endless in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Proverbs 22:6, has this to say,
“6. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Esther was well trained, she knew what Mordecai will do when faced with difficult situations such as this but he was beclouded and lost focus of God until Esther reminded him. Mostly, in difficult times we turn to men instead of God. We tender our requests to men and pray God uses them to answer our prayers, when we are supposed to speak to God first before speaking to men. Esther reminded her uncle of the importance of prayer and pleaded with him to spread the news to all Jews to fast and pray while she and her maid will also do same to that effect.
God can’t be sideline, He should be the first and not the last, He’s meant to lead us not we leading Him. Have you spoken to God about those situations or you’ve concluded in your mind the person God should use? These are reasons for disappointment.
Hebrew 12: 2 says, “Looking up to Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith…” Who do you look up to? It should always be God first, others second not the other way round. Fasting and prayer are tools to change things for good. Pray to God about everything because He cares so much for us.
Good Day and God bless you.
