POWERFUL SECRET OF FAVOUR FROM THE BOOK OF ESTHER | Apostle Joshua Selman Sermon

Apostle Joshua Selman New Sermon 2020 | Powerful Lessons Learnt From The Book Of Esther.
The Book Of Esther is a powerful book and a mystery of how God Raises Up Esther To Protect & Propel His Plan For His People & His Plan Of Redemption. "The Secret Of Favour"
As scripture reveals, Esther is a Jewish woman living in Persia and reared by her cousin Mordecai. She was taken to the King of the Persian Empire to become a part of his harem—but because there was something special about Esther, he made her queen. Mordecai, however, didn’t tell the king about a major detail—Esther’s Jewish heritage.
Esther knew, of course, that going to the king unsolicited could be her death sentence. Anyone who came into the king’s presence without being summoned could be executed. So what does she do? Before making a life or death decision, she calls for the Jewish people to join her on a 3-day fast. Following the fast she put on her best royal robes, approached the king, and told him of Haman's plot against her people. The Jewish people were saved, Haman was hanged on the same gallows that had been prepared for Mordecai, and Esther received Haman’s estate. This dramatic unfolding of events moves like a novel and played like a great chess game with several life lessons. Here are some powerful lessons from the book of Esther that we can each apply to our living
Lesson 1: God has a plan for our lives
Mordecai nailed it when he said, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the royal palace for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). God loved the Jewish people. And, he didn’t create Esther’s beauty and finesse for her and her alone. Esther was placed in a royal position to assist in the delivery of God’s divine plan.
Lesson 2: We are given divine moments to alter circumstances
As believers, there are no such things as accidents or coincidences. God’s timing is providential. Esther’s divine moment of providence came by accepting her responsibility to go to the king. However, Mordecai was clear when he said to Esther that she could be the one who saved the people, or not. God will use you only if you’re ready—or he will find someone else.
Lesson 3: We must stand with courage
“I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16). Esther was willing to die to save her people. Sometimes we must stand in courage, even when it is not popular to do so, and risk it all.
Lesson 4: Fasting and prayer brings clarity and hope for deliverance
God is not mentioned in the Book of Esther even once. But Esther was clear that in this particular situation, a heavenly response was needed for an earthly situation. Esther needed direction. When we need God’s grace, fasting and prayer opens the portals for spiritual growth, removes distractions and places us on a path to humility.
Lesson 5: God demands obedience
Esther’s obedience saved God’s people from genocide. The reality is that Esther didn’t know what would happen when she approached the king. She acted in obedience and by doing so she saved a nation and received the best. We don’t get a pass on this one.
Lesson 6: God uses everything and everybody for his divine purpose
No part of our lives is untouched. God is in control of every aspect, whether we want him to be or not, and there is nothing that is not subject to him (Hebrews 2:8). And, the best thing we can do for our lives is to search for and surrender to his will.
Favor Changes Everything
It is very apparent throughout the book of Esther that she walked in supernatural favor. It says that she had favor with everyone she met. She was not only favored by God but also with man.
Honoring, even when you don’t have to
She wasn’t shallow or consumed by worldly things. If Esther lacked this portion of character then nothing would have changed for Mordecai or the Jewish people. This was really more of a reminder to not let the things of the world hinder us from doing what is right in God’s eyes.
God’s favor changes everything
We can move past self-preservation and become sacrificial
Honoring others is a heart condition and not about a persons position
