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.
