Esther 7:3-6, 10 AMP
Then Queen Esther said, If I have found favor in
your sight, O king and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my
petition and my people at my request. For we are sold, I and my people, to be
destroyed, slain, and wiped out of existence! But if we had been sold for
bondmen and bondwomen, I would have held my tongue, for our affliction is not
to be compared with the damage this will do to the king. Then King Ahasuerus
said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he who dares presume in
his heart to do that? And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this
wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and queen. So they hanged
Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath
was pacified.
The Rope Holder...
The story of Esther and her uncle Mordecai is an exceptional one. Rising from nothing to something and in order to keep the position and not fall by the axe of enemy there had to be an agreement. If you read Esther4:16 you would see where Queen Esther requested that all the Jews go into fasting and prayer for her. There was a time when Esther was just a slave and ordinary Jew. She rose to become the Queen in a foreign land. Mordecai never let off the rope of right and godly parenting and this led to him being able to pass on Haman's threat towards the Jews to Esther. Esther who was at the receiving end of the rope is now the rope holder. The fate of the Jews depended on her role as the Queen. Had it been she neglected them God would have made a way out of no way. Esther remembered who she was, were she is now and knew it was the will of God. She did everything prayerfully with wisdom and Knowledge to get justice for the Jews against Haman. Tides can turn at any time friend if God bless you its not for your sake alone but for the sake of others. When you pray for blessing ask God to make you a blessing. Esther rose from being blessed to become a blessing to her generation. Are you holding the rope or at the receiving end, whichever that applies to you do it to the glory of God remember God is not a man you can't deceive Him.
