YOUR ENEMIES MUST HONOUR YOU!



Today's message is about a man in the Bible called Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite.
In the book of Esther 3:1, it was written that king Ahasuerus promoted Haman to a higher position, a position so high that he was higher than the princes that were with him.
So big a title - that the king commanded everyone to bow to him where ever he went to.
Mordecai, a Jew to the core, was the only man that didn't bow to him.
For that, Haman already full of pride got enraged with anger and made plans to exterminate not only Mordecai, but him and all his people.
Haman formulated a plan to exterminate the Jews, he had a gallows built, it was 22 meters tall! - just because he wanted to hang Mordecai on it
(but God was working behind the scene) .

Haman went on his way to meet king Ahasuerus; To tell him about this 'great' plan he formulated, but what he heard next shocked him beyond words - while Haman was busy building a gallows to hang Mordecai, the Bible
said in
Esther 6:1-3 -

'That same night the king could not sleep, so
he ordered the official records of the empire to
be brought and read to him. The part they read
included the account of how Mordecai had uncovered a plot to assassinate the king -
the plot made by
Bigthana and Teresh, the two palace eunuchs
who had guarded the king's rooms.
The king asked, "How have we honoured and rewarded Mordecai for this?"
His servants answered, "Nothing has been done
for him."
"Are any of my officials
in the palace?" the king asked'.

Isn't it funny? - Just like clockwork that was the same time Haman came into the palace to reveal his wicked plans
to the king, but the king had another plan,
he wanted Haman himself to be the very
one to honour Mordecai, the king said to Haman in

Esther 6:7-9 :
'Order royal robes to be
brought for this man -
robes that YOU YOURSELF WEAR.
Order a royal
ornament to be put on
your OWN HORSE.
Then get one of your
highest noblemen to
dress the man in these
robes and lead him,
mounted on the horse,
through the city square.
Let the nobleman
announce as they go:
'See how the king
rewards a person he
wishes to honour!' ".


Hallelujah!!! Wow! What better way to honour someone
than this? The Lord can never
forsake His people, your enemies can NEVER win
any battle against you.
Even Haman's wife told him in -
Esther 6:13-

''you are beginning to lose power to Mordecai.
He is a Jew, and you
cannot overcome him.
He will certainly defeat
You''.

And that is the HARD fact the devil cannot change!
That proves that you are too protected to be a victim.
You matter very much to God, He listens to your cry for help when you call upon Him. He is ever ready to answer your prayer as long as you are a christian and do what pleases Him. He won't let anything happen to you.

Remember what the Lion of Judah said -

.... "I will never leave you
Nor forsake you"
Hebrews 13:5


you are born to be a
Conqueror! Your
enemies will honour you!
Anyone who has vowed to
destroy you will end up
like Haman -
hanged on the gallows
he himself
Built.

Ecclesiastes 10:8.

Praise God! This is your
Month!
