TOPIC: LESSON FROM MORDECAI AND ESTHER: Effects Of Prayer – Enhances Patience 4. (18)
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Timothy 2:6.
“6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.”
BIBLE READING:
Esther 5:6-8.
“6. And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
“7. Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;”
“8. If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.”
The virtue of Patience will grow to manifestation in your lives in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
One more effect of Prayer as seen in the life of Esther is the virtue called Patience. With the atrocity committed by Haman against the Jew with the signet ring of the king, she showed patience in handling the situation. She requested for another banquet with the King and Haman for the second time. Patience makes the enemy feel they are winning without knowing their downfall is on the way. Haman had no knowledge the banquet was for his life so he was still happy dinning with Queen Esther. With all situations around our lives, even with the so called visible enemy, patience is a tool that hastens our victory. We need not to react instantly but with our prayers, patience can soften our heart and bring us the victory we desire.
On the other hand, Mordecai desired to see Haman’s downfall instantly after the dinner but never knew Esther’s patience was restoring all loses around his life. He was angry seeing Haman coming out with Joy from the king’s palace after the banquet. He’s reaction triggers Haman’s anger the more. When we’ve prayed about a situation we need to wait on God to take over the situation. Mordecai never knew it was working for his good until everything was unraveled. I pray today, that, patience to earn a befitting victory will rest upon us in Jesus name, amen. May we grow to that level where patience in handling situations will manifest in our lives in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. Prayer enhances patience in the mist of situations.
