LESSONS LEARNT FROM THE STORY OF ESTHER IN CHURCH TODAY
The story recorded in the book of Esther tells us that God keep vigil over His people. It tells us that God's timing is always perfect, down to the split-second, when necessary.
The story tells us that God can turn a universal death decree into a glorious victory, if His children are faithful and loyal to Him.
The personality of Esther reveals:- PURITY: when the king was searching for a virgin, she was found.
OBEDIENCE: She obeyed all that Hagai and Mordecai asked her to do.
HUMILITY: She did not misuse the position of queen, she reckon with her people in humbleness of heart.
Esther is also a good cook, no wonder she invited the king and Haman to banquet twice.
She is a woman that understands time (She recognizes why is in power and the time to present her request to the king.
Esther is seen as a prayer warrior, a woman who sought the face of God when it is convenient and when it is not, she encouraged others to follow her footsteps. When she witnessed the miracle of God, she did not fail to give praises to the God who rescued her and her people.
Esther is a beautiful woman and maintains her beauty even after marriage. Esther appears in the Bible as woman of deep piety, faith, courage, patriotism, and caution, combined with resolution. Indeed Esther is a great woman!
Wish you all a happy sunday. Thanks for reading .

Esther, was a woman of great courage. As a Queen, she knew the consequnces of certain actions. And when evil Hamman was convincing King, to exterminate jews (little pre telling of Nazi Germany?) Esther did what her was ordained for her by the Creator. Her gentle and kind words turned away death and destruction of people. Knowing full well speaking to a King in this manner could spell out her own death.
This is as if to say the words spoken where not her own, as it softened the Kings heart.
Good post

Amen
