When God decides to honor nothing is able to prevent Him

You who perform the ministry have to be aware of the power God gave you

When God speaks in Isaiah He raised sons, and He talks about the position He set us. What makes a bishop or a pastor to give up on the ministry is not understand that God is the One who makes him grow in everything he does. Haman controlled from India to Africa, one hundred twenty-seven states, but he was affected by the devil that wanted the death of all Jews. This same devil keeps using many who believe they are powerful and chase Christians, God`s people. Even so, we go through several difficulties to do God`s work. I`ve already suffered a lot. I was humiliated, expelled from home with no food, no money, no conditions, and no health. We struggled a lot, but God never allows anything to overcome our lives. When we think about unfairness, it`s because we don`t pay attention to everything God gives us and to several times that God honors us. We are Mordecai from today, and God is the king that makes irreversible decrees. Esther 6 says that Haman hated the Jews mainly Mordecai. God put us in a position which is not just social, but according to the hierarchy of the most significant power, the only eternal power, the power of God. We pastors and bishops are called as angels of the church in the Bible. What God gave us is extraordinarily big and if God decided to honor who would be against God`s wish? God is for us, so, nothing can be against us, but even so, how many times have we fallen on our conditions? We worry about who likes and who doesn`t like us; who sees or not our work; if we are or not honored by men. The one who decided to honor us were not men. This ministry undergoes attacks and probably has ready strength to us, but it will never be extinct. This ministry will be taken to the glory. What we do here is more important than any other job, segment, or profession. Although all of them are noble and instituted by God, we are in the profession of a prophet. Even the king is an important position, but the prophet never checked the king, the king checked the prophet. The prophet is more prominent because God established. In some moments, we don`t realize how big our lives are and how He fulfills our word honoring us by our faith. Mordecai was the principal one among the Jews while Esther was the queen and didn`t have authority because of her position but faith. Among the people of Israel, the queen couldn`t talk to the king, and if he lifted his scepter when she entered the room, she could be dead. Imagine Haman`s power who received the royal ring to do whatever he wanted. The power, the authority in the hands of disturbed people are puzzling issues, and they are evil to God`s work. They become tools, heavy weapons of the devil to combat God`s work. Haman was one of those. Against Haman, the Jews were extremely vulnerable. Historically, God`s people always depended on God and required even rights and the same opportunities that every segment has because we have faith, wisdom, and God`s direction. God will honor anyone who is submitted to God and praise Him as well. God`s people are not humiliated, and they thrive more than those around them.

Even if your soul become shaken by situations you consider irreversible, they are carnal conditions because you will never be defeated while you honor God and you see a solution by your faith. When God decides to honor someone, it doesn`t matter the situation because God does things that make us astounded.

God is much bigger than what we preach or can imagine. You were called, and when God calls, your ministry will be guaranteed as long as you are faithful and keep your faith. You have to use your skill to conquer the Kingdom of God. Haman had authority to kill whoever he wished. But, he couldn`t kill the one God wanted to honor because only God could determine the end of their lives. They couldn`t put an end to yours, and you couldn`t take the career of anyone. God, in the person of Ahasuerus, told Haman he was the biggest threat to the Jews, and he had to follow Mordecai honored. Likewise, the lost son as in the parable Mordecai, who was the fool of the court, left wearing the crown of the king, the ring, clothes, shoes, on the king`s horse. That`s the way God wants us, honored, using His wealth and magnitude. If we feared and used our faith, we would be able to change the world in few days before dying. It`s not what we think it will be, but the way that God`s word says and He wants to honor us.
