THEME: He Turned Sorrow To Joy. II.
MEMORY VERSE:
“As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.”
Esther 9:22.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Esther 3:13-14.
“And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the opening of this series, we saw a gloomy scenerio, in which a woman whose husband is late, was on the procession of burying her only son. Her anguish was high to the heavens, although, sympathises were all around her, but what she needs is a compassion from the above. To glory of God, she got it and her sorrow was turned to joy.
Beloved in Christ, God is still in the business of turning sorrow to joy. Our today’s text tells us of Haman’s evil plot against the Jews in Babylon, in which he determined to exterminate the Jewish Nation on a particular day.
However, the information was sent to all the constituted authority in land, to prepare and carry out the supposed order from the king. The agony of the Jew was enormous, and been slaves in Babylon, they cried day and night, for
salvation seems to be impossible.
In conclusion, the scripture says: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalms 46:1) Unknown to them, that God had prepared a way out for them. And the supposed day of mourning, God turned it to a day of celebration, rejoicing and yearly festival. And their enemies died in their place. May God overturn the wicked plan against you, and shame your enemies totally in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
The Lord will turn the table, for my sake. And I will celebrate.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, you know the end from the beginning. Give the enemies of my destiny, a shock that they will never recover from in Jesus name. Amen.
