LESSON 308

ESTHER: CASE STUDY IN VESSELS UNTO HONOUR – PART 3
Bible Reading: Esther 3,4
INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we learnt that there is no room for a vacuum in nature, when one queen fall another one rose to take her place. We also saw that the statement of our Lord that many are called but few are chosen had always been true. Today as we study chapter 3, and 4 of the book of Esther, we begin to see some crucial characteristic of a vessel unto honour. May you be a vessel unto honour in Jesus name.
1. GOD MUST COME FIRST ALL THE TIME
There are occasions when children of God may have to disobey the orders of the Government i.e. when those orders contravene the higher orders of the King of Kings Acts 3:4; Acts 5:27-32; Exodus 1:15-21; Daniel 3:13-18. While we must give honour to whom honour is due, the one who knows the end from the beginning must have pre-eminence in all things at all times Daniel 6:7-10; Acts 15:18; Ephesian 5:18; John 14:1.
2. VESSELS ARE MADE TO BE USED: TO LEAD US TO SERVE
Vessels, whether unto honours or not, are made to be used 1 Samuel 16:11-16; Revelations 2:10; Matthew 10:39; John 12:24-25; Mark 2:18-20. He who would lead must be willing to serve and to lay down his life if need be 1 Samuel 15:1-3. If a chosen vessel fails to perform, God, who has a thousand ways to solve a problem, will arrange for a substitute I Samuel 17:45-47; Jude 6:11-16; Exodus 3:7-12; John 15:16; I Kings 17:8-16; II Kings 4:11; Matthew 3:9; Matthew 19:37-40; I Samuel 2:27-31.
Further Readings: Act. 4:18-20; Joshua 1:1-6.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL... DATE: WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL 2017 THEME: DIVINE HEALING Memorise: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Matthew 9:21 Read: Luke 13:11-16 13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, there are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 13:15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to w...
