Fire Scripture:
Esther 6:1-12
1 That same night, the king could not sleep. So he told a servant to bring the history book and read it to him. ( The Book of History of the Kings lists everything that happens during a king’s rule.) 2 The servant read the book to the king. He read about the evil plan to kill King Xerxes. That was when Mordecai had learned about Bigthana and Teresh. These two men were the king’s officers who guarded the doorway. They had planned to kill the king, but Mordecai learned about the plan and told someone about it.
3 Then the king asked, “What honor and good things have been given to Mordecai for this?”
The servants answered the king, “Nothing has been done for Mordecai.”
4 Haman had just entered the outer area of the king’s palace. He had come to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the hanging post Haman had commanded to be built. The king said, “Who just came into the courtyard?” 5 The king’s servants said, “Haman is standing in the courtyard.”
So the king said, “Bring him in.”
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him a question. He said, “Haman, what should be done for a man the king wants to honor?”
Haman thought to himself, “Who is there that the king would want to honor more than me? I’m sure that the king is talking about honoring me.”
7 So Haman answered the king, “Do this for the man the king loves to honor: 8 Have the servants bring a special robe the king himself has worn and a horse the king himself has ridden. Have the servants put the king’s special mark on the horse’s head. 9 Then put one of the king’s most important leaders in charge of the robe and the horse, and let the leader put the robe on the man the king wants to honor. Then let him lead him on the horse through the city streets. As he leads him, let him announce, ‘This is done for the man the king wants to honor!’”
10 “Go quickly,” the king commanded Haman. “Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew. He is sitting near the king’s gate. Do everything that you suggested.”
11 So Haman got the robe and the horse. Then he put the robe on Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city streets. Haman announced ahead of Mordecai, “This is done for the man the king wants to honor!”
12 After that Mordecai went back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried home with his head covered because he was embarrassed and ashamed.
MFM Daily Devotional 12th June 2023 MESSAGE:
Another lesson we want to point out today in the life of Mordecai is that he had faith and that as he took the right steps in the right direction, his faith was rewarded.
All through the book of Esther, Mordecai’s faith in God shined through as a beacon of hope to those around him and a source of strength for Esther. His words and actions reflected a man that wasn’t into prestige or following the crowd, but of standing up (at times alone) on what he believed of God and His will.
Dearly Beloved, God works behind the scenes (ie. in the hidden places where no man can see). This is clearly shown in chapter 6. God used the fact that the king could not sleep to finally bring Mordecai to a place of honour. God uses our enemies to do us good many times. Day and night, God is looking out for those who are faithful to Him.
Dear reader of this devotional, because of this, God richly blessed Mordecai as he strived to remind others of God’s provision for them. The Bible tells us that, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). The second verse says, “For by it the elders obtained a good report.” Mordecai obtained a very good result that catapulted him to the highest point that a foreigner or captive could attain in that kingdom because of His faith in God.
True and enduring faith involves trusting God in all circumstances. This trust will enable the believer to remain loyal to God and His Word at all times.
Have you got to a cross-road in life, and you are not sure of what to do next? Do you have so many enemies and opposition and there is no fulfilment in sight? Just believe that your miracle is on the way and God will have mercy upon you, in the Name of Jesus.
