LESSON 306
ESTHER: CASE STUDY IN VESSELS UNTO HONOUR PART 1
Bible Text: Esther : 1
INTRODUCTION
The Bible teaches that there are kinds of people or “Vessels” in any great house. Some of these vessels are unto honour and some unto dishonour. II Timothy 2:2. To be a vessel unto honour is a costly endeavour, but a very worthwhile one. As we study the life of Esther, may we find grace to become vessels unto honour for God in Jesus name. Amen.
1. THERE IS A QUEEN ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS A KING: THERE ARE CHRISTIANS ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS CHRIST
Ahaesuerus reigned over a large kingdom and was very wealth Esther 1, Psalms 24:1. But there is a king above all kings, who reigns over all and owns all Psalms 19:1-3; Haggai 2:8; Isaiah 55:1. His name is Jesus Christ. Queen Vashti was free to enjoy as much as she wanted provided she remembered that she was queen because she belonged to a king Revelations 19:7-9; Psalms 34:10; John 10:10; Philippians 4:13, 19. Every Christian is free to alive life more abundant provided he/she puts Christ first John 15:5; Daniel 4:28-33.
2. WATCH AND PRAY
We must realize that all gifts are from God and are to be used for Him James. 1:17; John 3:27; Romans 13:7. Consequently, we must always have time for God because honour must be given to Him unto whom honour is due Philippians 2:9-10; Isaiah 15:22-28; I Samuel 16:14; Luke 14:11; John 15:2; Mark 13:35-37; I Thessalonians 5:6. The enemy is also constantly looking for an opportunity to strike and displace a vessel unto honour II Timothy 4:5. Watch and pray.
