Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.(Esther 5:14)

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.
