Topic : Your Life Is Precious Before The Lord.

Memory Verse : ‭‭Exodus 34:14. Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Bible Reading :‭Esther 5:12-14 NIV‬. Key Verse: v14.

“And that’s not all,” Haman added. “I’m the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the king tomorrow. But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.” His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a pole set up, reaching to a height of fifty cubits, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai impaled on it. Then go with the king to the banquet and enjoy yourself.” This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had the pole set up.

God had blessed Haman to a point where the king promoted him above other princes in the palace to become second in command in the land of Media and Persia. He couldn’t understand the reason Mordecai refused to bow to him at the gate with others anytime he passed. Mordecai on his part was trying to obey the command of the Lord and walk in agreement with their Jewish culture which forbids them to bow before or worship any fellow man, but God almighty alone. Mordecai wasn’t doing that out of pride, but out of his reverence for God. He believed that worship or bowing of his head belonged to God alone.‭ “When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.” Esther 3:5-6.

He began a wicked plot to eliminate not only Mordecai but all the Jews in Media and Persia in a single day. As he initiated the process with the king, Mordecai got Esther and the entire Jewish people in the land involved who began to pray and fast for divine intervention to save the Jews from annihilation. God began his work of deliverance by taking sleep away from the eyes of king Xerxes, so that he could find out the need to promote Mordecai sp that he can be in a vantage position to fight for the right of his people to life. “So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!” Afterward Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief, and told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him—you will surely come to ruin!” Esther 6:11-13.

When Haman arrived at work the next morning after preparing the gallows for Mordecai, the king was looking for a befitting reward for Mordecai who saved his life in the past without being rewarded. He thought it was himself that the king wanted to honour. Every suggestion he gave the king when he was consulted, he was ordered to do for Mordecai whom he hated. That was the beginning of the fall and destruction of Haman and other members of his family who plotted to cut short Mordecai and numerous Jews in the land. Today, we must learn to fight our enemies in the place of prayer. Nobody who fights battles from God’s presence (a place of power and authority loses). “Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.” The king said, “Impale him on it!” So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king’s fury subsided.” Esther 7:9-10.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because my life is so precious that you gave up Jesus to save my soul. From today, let every enemy digging a pit for my soul fall into their own pit. Let their own evil plot consume them in Jesus precious name…. Amen🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Daniel 1:2-21.
