Lesson 306: ESTHER: CASE STUDY IN VESSELS UNTO HONOUR PART 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 Tim. 2:20. 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 Est. 1, Ps. 24:1. But there is a king above all kings, who reigns over all and owns all Ps. 19:1-3; Hag. 2:8; Isa. 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 Rev. 19:7-9; Ps. 34:10; John 10:10; Ph. 4:13, 19. Every Christian is free to alive life more abundant provided he/she puts Christ first John 15:5; Dan. 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; Rom. 13:7. Consequently, we must always have time for God because honour must be given to Him unto whom honour is due Ph. 2:9-10; Isa. 15:22-28; I Sam. 16:14; Luke 14:11; John 15:2; Mk. 13:35-37; Thess. 5:6. The enemy is also constantly looking for an opportunity to strike and displace a vessel unto honour II Tim. 4:5. Watch and pray.
