 The Book of Esther is one of the most beloved books in the Bible. It tells the story of a young Jewish woman who was taken from her home and forced to become queen of Persia. Esther faced many challenges, but she ultimately used her position to save her people from destruction

Esther had the chance to turn her back on her people and save herself only instead, she choose the hard option which is saving her people even though it could cost he life.

 There are many lessons we can learn from Esther’s story. Here are a few:

In this post, I will be discussing about the power of faith and prayer using Nehemiah as our case study

Nehemiah was the man who led the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.

This task seems impossible, but what seems impossible was made possible by one man named Nehemiah.

I believe he dared to rebuild the walls because God gave him the vision.

When God gives you a vision, you will have the confidence and peace that it will be done.

What I want us to learn from the story of Nehemiah is holding on to God’s word.

When God gives His word, it is as good as done. God does not lie instead whatever God says comes into existence even though it wasn’t related before.

Whenever the word of God does not come to pass in your life, it is because you didn’t do your part.

The things you need to do includes, believing the word, praying about the word and taking action.

Every successful leader needs to pray regularly because they will be faced with challenges and the only way to overcome those challenges is to pray to God.

Steps Nehemiah used in overcoming challenges.

New King James Version Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”

I will be telling you a short story before I get started with this post.

“Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in a small village. He was known for his hard work and determination, but despite his best efforts, his crops never seemed to yield very much. Frustrated and discouraged, the farmer decided to seek the advice of an old and wise farmer who lived in a neighbouring village.

The old farmer listened patiently as the young farmer shared his troubles, and then he said, “My son, you have been sowing the same seeds year after year, but you are not reaping the rewards you desire. The key to a bountiful harvest is to sow a variety of different crops so that if one fails, the others can help sustain you.”

Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

God said it and it came to pass. We have a powerful God that has control over all things.

We have a God that speaks and it comes to pass.

But do you know that as a child of God, when you speak, it comes to pass?

This is not a feature for everyone but only for those that are children of God.

New King James Version James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Have you ever thought about the statement “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”? If you think about it, you will know that it has deep meaning.

I will be sharing with you my thoughts about the above Bible verse.

I will start from the story of Elijah praying for rain not to fall and rain did not fall for three years.

He also prayed for rain to start falling and rain started falling again.

The Bible says that our righteousness is like filthy rags and I know that sounds scary. But I have good news for you because the righteousness discussed in this verse is referring to self-righteousness and not true righteousness.

Self-righteousness is living right based on your standard.

When something is compared to a rag, that thing is bad and shameful.
