TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Credit Other’s Effort 7
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”
BIBLE READING:
Esther 2:21-22.
“21. In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.”
“22. And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai’s name.”
Happy Weekend to everyone. May God reward all your effort and make you smile to His presence with testimony in Jesus Name, Amen.
Welcome to the continuation of our lessons from Mordecai and Esther. Today, we are learning from Esther’s attitude towards her uncle, Mordecai. Our Bible reading today talked about Mordecai revealing an assassination attempt on the King to Queen Esther, who inturn revealed it to the King and gave the credit to Mordecai. She made it known to the king that Mordecai was privileged to hear it, (in order to be rewarded). Esther was the queen who would have told the King the attempt on His life without mentioning Mordecai’s name but reverse is the case.
Who do you give the credit to, yourself or the revealer? When others get the ideas and revealed it to you, do you remember to ascribe the credit to the right source? I once watched a movie where a step-daughter found her father’s lost cash, kept by her step-sister. But her step-mother told her Husband that her daughter found it where the step-daughter kept it. That wasn’t what Esther did, she credited the creditor, mentioned Mordecai to the king for reference purpose. This is an important lesson to learn. Claiming other’s credit won’t reduce them nor increase you but will rather belittle you when the truth comes out. Give credit to whom it belong and let them be rewarded accordingly. Parents and Guardian should learn to do the needful between their children and others, likewise spouse, may God give us the courage to act rightly in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Day and God bless you.
