Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Esther 4:13-14)
Haman had an ungodly ego. When he was appointed prime minister, the most powerful official in the empire next to the king himself, he demanded that all the king’s officials should bow down before him to show respect whenever he passed by but Mordecai refused to bow. There is no way you can bow to God’s authority and also bow to man’s authority. Haman then decided to destroy all the Jews because of Mordecai. But God who sees the end from the beginning had already positioned Esther as Queen. With Mordecai’s encouragement she took the matter up with the king, God moved and Haman was destroyed.
A lot of God’s people live in constant harassment from people who are in authority over them because these people have literally transformed themselves into agents of darkness. This is typical of large corporate multinational organisations that are managed by people who do not know nor serve God. They make their staff work even on Sundays when they should be in church worshipping God. Once they know the week day that God’s people have their midweek fellowship, they will always come up with work or meetings that will keep them in the office beyond official work hour that are globally recognized.
This has been the plight of many of God’s children and some who cannot bear it have been forced to quit such jobs. But this month, I have come to judge such situations; God will bring Esther into such organisations and all Haman managers will be removed in the mighty name of Jesus!

Prayer:
Fire from the throne room, fall down and consume every power competing with God for reverence in my life, in the name of Jesus!
I refuse to bow down and yield to satanic manipulators working against my destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Father, thank you. You are sovereign in my life, in the name of Jesus
Amen
Amen.
