TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Risk Taker 2
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”
BIBLE READING:
Esther 2:8-9
8 As a result of the king’s decree, Esther, along with many other young women, was brought to the king’s harem at the fortress of Susa and placed in Hegai’s care.
9 Hegai was very impressed with Esther and treated her kindly. He quickly ordered a special menu for her and provided her with beauty treatments. He also assigned her seven maids specially chosen from the king’s palace, and he moved her and her maids into the best place in the harem.
This week, the strength of God will rest on you, to profit, to succeed and please the Lord in Jesus name, Amen.
Lessons from Mordecai and Esther is our focus for this week. We studied how Mordecai took responsibility over Esther by raising her as his own daughter. The lesson to learn from Mordecai today is the ability to take risk, what risk? Allowing Esther, a Jew and a slave, to participate in a contest for a new Queen. The king needed a replacement for his queen which means, he will need a woman without blemish or someone from a royal family. But a slave was disguised to participate. Come to think of it, if the king later discovered during the contest what would have happened? That will be beheading her, but above all hold, Mordecai sent her for the contest.
Most times our fears would have become our breakthrough if those risks were taken. We loose many privileges and opportunity by thinking too deep about our decisions. Discussing our fear with the wrong people can also discourage us from taking certain risk. Joseph’s case was different from this case because the king knew him to be a Hebrew before requesting for his service but Esther disguised to be an indigene to contest and she later won. That risk is not what you should broadcast before taking. Seek God’s face concerning it, then take the leap of faith and you will land right in the King’s palace.
Good Day and God bless you.
