All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.(Esther 4:11)

Esther knew how to work as a team with others
The story of Esther teaches us about obedience, teamwork, and using the resources God has given us to fulfill our purpose and destiny. We must embrace our identity in God, seek to obey Him, and be willing to get out of our comfort zone to fulfill His will.


Dr. Roberto Miranda
An Esther cannot be neutral
Dr. Roberto Miranda speaks about the book of Esther and encourages the church to be prophetic and not neutral in defending the values of the Kingdom of God. He sees every member of the church as an instrument for the preservation of life and urges them to live intentionally. The author cites the example of a couple from the church in Colombia who decided to get married after living together for many years, as an example of people whose lives have been transformed and who are witnessing to their unconverted family about Jesus Christ.
