Never you hold back when you need intervention
1 – “When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2 – And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 – And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 – So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5 – Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.” (Esther chapter 4 verses 1 to 5)
If we must see the supernatural intervention at work in our lives and situations, there is need to understand that we have a part to play in it.
It was obvious when Mordecai perceived what was done that he could not hold his peace. He understood any atom of delay to create an alarm from his angle might create havoc. You don’t have to be calm when you are expected to react. If we must see the supernatural intervention at work in our lives and situations, there is need to understand that we have a part to play in it.
It is wise to know where your strength can carry you. You have to know that there are times in life when the going will get tough that our strengths will fail us if we do not do something about it. We have to deal with the things in life as we believe that we have the capacity to handle and deal with each of them. It is also wise to know the source of our strengths and keep it in tight.
There are times in life you can’t keep quiet to die in silence
Mordecai could not hold his peace. There are times in life when one needs to cry out, so that people will know where it hurts. There are times in life you can’t keep quiet to die in silence. Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry. He cried bitterly for it is time for intervention.
He knew it is only an intervention for it will bring about the salvation from what was about to befall him and his people. He knew keeping quiet in a time as such s then, will cost him his life and that if others So many people have kept quiet when they are meant to act and they lived to regret ever been quiet seeing things going bad when they had the opportunity and capacity to put an end to the situation.
Some persons have kept so quiet that people around assumed all is well with them
In the time when the going gets tough, it is not time to sit only in your closest crying. There is need to make some moves. There are people who need to hear you cry. When they hear your cry that is when they will actually know that everything is not alright. Some persons have kept so quiet that people around assumed all is well with them. There is time for everything under the sun which the wisest man ever lived said.
1 – “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 – A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 – A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 – A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;” (Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verses 1 to 4)
He was not that selfish and sentimental to think of himself and forget about others
Mordecai was on point with his action. He was not fighting for his own freedom alone. He was not that selfish and sentimental to think of himself and forget about others. He was fighting for the salvation of everyone. Putting on sack clothes was for a fight to liberate the Jews from the evil that was about to befall them.
He has witnessed such occurrence in the time past and it was bloody. They who were alive to witness what happened in time past never wished to witness such occurrence again. When Mordecai cried bitterly, he had a memory of what happened in the past and he knew it will not be pleasant with the present day. He chose not to seat back. To seat back in a time as such will cause havoc to the whole Jews and he will regret not taking action.
Conclusion:
He went through the power of authority which drew the attention of Esther. Then they went to prayer through fasting to get God fully involved in the matter at hand. Of course God has to shown up whenever His people called on Him with the sincerity of heart. Do not keep quiet when you are to talk.
