TOPIC: A Lesson in Crisis Management (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional for 10 August 2024)
MEMORY VERSE
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."
Isaiah 58:1
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 16, Proverbs 17, 1 John 5, 2 John 1
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Esther 4:1-8
When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.
2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it.
3 In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 When Esther’s eunuchs and female attendants came and told her about Mordecai, she was in great distress. She sent clothes for him to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.
5 Then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s eunuchs assigned to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.
6 So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king’s gate.
7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews.
8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther and explain it to her, and he told him to instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:

MFM Devotional 10 August 2024 MESSAGE
Mordecai was a man of action and urgency. Haman, the embittered enemy of the Jews, had finished plans to eliminate not just Mordecai but the whole of the Jew’s race just because of one person’s offense.
What a tragic level of bitterness! Mordecai heard the news and mourned greatly, not just because of himself but the whole race of innocent people, both young and old, that would be made to perish because of him (Esther 3:13).
Immediately Mordecai got the sad news, he swinged into action with urgency. He knew at that point that it was tragic to be dragging the feet when the king’s business required haste. This was a matter of life and death, not just for him but his whole lineage.
He mourned and mourned publicly. He didn’t do silent prayers. He cried bitterly like a baby and proclaimed it for everybody to see. He wasn’t ashamed of his tears.
READ MFM Devotional 9 August 2024: Choose To Be On The Lord’s Side
He was not like King Hezekiah in Isaiah 39:5-8 who heard the news that would affect his posterity and began to rejoice that, at least, there would be peace in his own days.
Next, Mordecai got the copies of the necessary documents of the proof of Haman’s wicked decree and sent it to Esther (Esther 4:8).
He did not just sit in a corner crying, giving in to fate, saying whatever will be will be. Beloved, whatever will be may not be, if you don’t take the necessary actions. Esther 4:8 teaches us a whole lot on record keeping as Christians.
If you have acquired any property for instance, it is your responsibility to obtain the necessary documents and keep them safe, you might need them as a proof later. Keep the documents of important things in your life, keep records, have journals, you might need them later.
God will not do certain things for us because we are Christians, he expects us to use the intellect He has blessed us with to take charge of certain events of life. Mordecai took desperate steps and God honoured it in the end.
Next, he spoke the truth to power. When Esther wanted to act fearful, he spoke boldly to her to use her position to deliver God’s people. He also obeyed instructions put forward by Esther for him and others to fast and pray.
