REWARDS

And the king said what honour hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. (Esther 6:3)

Beautiful people of God we will look at this verse once again and glean the necessary lessons. We all know by now that what do will always show the kind of people we are. Our character is evident in our deeds. ‘By their fruits we shall know them’ is a popular scripture we know and quote. We are in an era where people are tired of hearing us talk about what needs to be done. It is what you do that makes people take you seriously.

Mordecai was indeed a good and noble man. He had virtue oozing out of him. This we see evident in the way he raised Esther who became queen. Mordecai was also a strategist. He was not talkative in approaching the delicate matter of treason. Bigthana and Teresh, the king’s chamberlain did not know that Mordecai heard their plan from outside.

  

Rather Mordecai went to report the conspiracy where it mattered. He made sure another didn’t take the credit. When the deed was recorded in the chronicles, it was Mordecai’s name that entered the books. We should learn from Mordecai at this point. He was not a parrot.  Some people just talk too much and don’t know information management. We must learn restraint. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Mordecai did what was recordable. Make a tangible impression as you go through life. Mordecai was vigilant at his duty post. “Seest thou a man that is diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. (Proverbs 22:29)”. This scripture was literally experienced by Mordecai.

BE STRATEGIC IN GOOD DEEDS. GOD REWARDS! BLESS YOU.
