When God had the most important news in the whole of creation to share with the world, he went looking for the strangest set of people to first tell that good news to.

The prophets played a significant role in the birthing of Jesus by predicting the birth of the messiah

Mary was the mother of Jesus but God used many more people to birth Jesus Christ!

The story of Esther shows us not only the good, but it also comes with the bad and the ugly

What do you trust in? Everything Haman put his trust in failed him so don’t make the same mistake!

Proverbs‬ ‭26:27‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “Whoever digs a pit for another man’s feet will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone up a hill to do mischief, it will come back on him.”

Never envy the people that do wrong and look like they’re getting away with it. Just wait to see their end. They will go from grace to grace very quickly.

The quality of decisions we make are largely affected by our influencers. So who are your influencers?

A person focused on bringing down other people will eventually be disgraced!

God can inconvenience anyone when He wants to favour His children so don’t give up! Keep doing the right thing.!

Pride and offense are a guaranteed recipe for destruction so watch out!

There’s a right time for everything. There’s a time to be quiet and there’s a time to speak out. Esther knew when to do both.

There is a protocol for entering into the presence of a king and Esther had a clear understanding of what to do. So what can we learn from her?

For us to fulfil God’s purpose for our lives, we need God’s help because we can’t do it on our own. It’s not by power or might.

Like Esther, we are where we are because God has a purpose for us to fulfil. We are there for such a time as this.

We all need to have people in our lives who at the right time will burst our bubble and bring us back to earth by being very honest with us when we need to hear the truth! Mordecai was that person for Esther.

Sackcloth and ashes were used in the Old Testament times by the Jews as a sign for mourning, repentance and heartfelt sorrow. It was a sign that something had gone terribly wrong! But what could possibly have gone wrong in Queen Esther’s perfect world?

It’s amazing how something very little can snowball into something so huge that it gets out of control! That’s why we need to pray for God to keep us from all evil.

The story of Esther comes with its own villain, Haman also known as the ‘enemy of the Jews’.

God brings different people into our lives for specific reasons and we must not take such relationships for granted. Can you identify the ‘Mordecais’ in your life?

God uses the weak and powerless to shame the mighty!

Our actions can have serious consequences so we need to be careful. Find out from King Xerxes and Queen Vashti!

Good morning and welcome to the beginning of a new month! Today we’re starting our study on the book of Esther and our topic today is ‘*the heart of Xerxes’*

If you want to know whether you are becoming more like Jesus, check the level of your obedience to God and His word.

One thing I’ve learned about relationships is that we tend to become more like the people we spend the most time with. So want to become like Jesus? Spend time with him!
