Esther 5-8: Work, labors and endurance
9. Mordecai: Help!
Esther: All the king’s officials and the people of the
royal provinces know that for any man or woman
who approaches the king in the inner court without
being summoned the king has but one law: that they
be put to death unless the king extends the gold
scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days
have passed since I was called to go to the king.
(Esther 4: 11)
10. Mordercai: Do not think that because you are in the
king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For
if you remain silent at this time, relief and
deliverance for the Jews will arise from another
place, but you and your father’s family will perish.
And who knows but that you have come to your
royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4: 13-
14)
11. Esther: Go, gather together all the Jews who are
in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for
three days, night or day. I and my attendants
will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to
the king, even though it is against the law. And if
I perish, I perish.”
Esther 4:16 (NIV)
12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
14. 3 Then the king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your
request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you.” 4 “If it
pleases the king,” replied Esther, “let the king, together with Haman,
come today to a banquet I have prepared for him.” 5 “Bring Haman
at once,” the king said, “so that we may do what Esther asks.” So the
king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared. 6 As they
were drinking wine, the king again asked Esther, “Now what is your
petition? It will be given you. And what is your request? Even up to
half the kingdom, it will be granted.” 7 Esther replied, “My petition
and my request is this: 8 If the king regards me with favor and if it
pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the
king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for
them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”
Esther 5: 3-7 (NIV)
15. Esther 6: King read Chronicle, found Mordecai
had prevented his assassination, instructed
rewarded and honored him, Haman furious.
16. 1 So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s
banquet, 2 and as they were drinking wine on the
second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what
is your petition? It will be given you. What is your
request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be
granted.” 3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have
found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases
you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare
my people—this is my request.”
Esther 7: 1-3
17. 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its
saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good
for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled
underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on
a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and
put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it
gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let
your light shine before others, that they may see your good
deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5: 13-16
Finding Favor
18. Work, Labor & Endurance
We remember before our God and Father your
work produced by faith, your labor prompted by
love, and your endurance inspired by hope in
our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 (NIV)
19. “If my people, who are called by my name, will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will
heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
Every time guest speak we come up to speak they will show their photo with their kids etc. So I don’t have that kind of family yet. For those of you who don’t know what YB means, it means Yang Bujang.
Anyway, I have a beautiful family.

There’s no better time to talk about worst time than it is now. Many people wrote to me and said, is there still hope? Uncertain time – God is in control and he is the God of history – work out for God for those who love him and called according to his purposes.

Esther in a few chapters:
Injustice, greed, hunger for power – spiritual, not people
Esther doesn’t end here…
Romansticism
Haman was happy and boasted with his wife that Esther only invited him. He prepared the pole to hang mordecai.
Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
Love & persevere – keep praying
Remember God’s crucifix love in serving
Persevere – the Lord’s grand plan for Malaysia. The nation needs revival to be healed.
2 ways – 1 is to give up, continue to criticize etc, 2nd is pick a side, work out sth constructive from there. The choice is ours.
