YOUR MORDECAI

Hi ladies, today I want to enlighten us on the need to have a Mordecai. I am sure the name Mordecai rings a bell. Recall the story of Esther in the Bible

            Esther became a queen not because she was only pretty, not only because she was very intelligent, not only because she was outstanding among the maidens, not only because she was humble but because she had a Mordecai.

            According to the book of Esther,  Mordecai was Esther's uncle but he raised her as his own daughter for she had neither a father nor a mother. Mordecai gave Esther the support she needed when she was in the Kings palace before she became a queen. He gave her instructions, monitored her and urged her not to reveal their plans to their relations. Mordecai kept checking up on Esther's welfare everyday to see how she was fairing in the king's palace where all the maidens where kept.

            Though Esther was an intelligent lady, she was calm and submissive enough to understand and obey her uncle Mordecai. She put herself under his authority. Even when she became the queen, she didn't stop listening to her uncle; she didn't show any sign of pride, she was still respectful and submissive.

            As ladies, we need to be under the authority of someone. Remember when we were young, we were under the care and authority of our parents, when we grow up and get married we will be under the authority of our husband, because regularly as ladies we need to be submissive to someone who will guide and guard us at all times. But there is a period when we are not under anyone's authority, the period when we are far from our parents and the period when we are not married. At this stage, we need a MORDECAI who will guide us and put us through. 

            Do not get me wrong, I do not mean a Mordecai like a boyfriend oooo, I mean a Mordecai like a mentor, a Mordecai like a role model (either a man or a woman), and you have to be careful when choosing a Mordecai. Your Mordecai can be your pastor, a trusted relation, a friend indeed, someone who is more experienced in life than you are, someone who can correct you when you are wrong, and someone who will guide you and help you grow.

            Submission is mandatory, you need to be submissive and open to whosoever you choose as your Mordecai, you need to be attentive, always listen to him/her/them and accept their corrections with joy. Imagine if Esther had not obeyed Mordecai, what do you think would have become of her and her people. Recall also, the story of Ruth and Naomi, imagine what would have happened to Ruth if she didn't follow the instructions of Naomi.

            We all need a Mordecai because at every stage in our life when we are faced with challenges, our Mordecai puts us through and help us to overcome our challenges. God uses our Mordecai to pull us to the top. Do not choose anyone whose life doesn't glorify God as your Mordecai because it is very dangerous. Your Mordecai must be Spirit filled and must have the fear of God.

            In case you already have a MORDECAI, obey him/her/them and follow their instructions but in case you do not have one, you need a Mordecai. GET ONE
