TOPIC: ATTRACTING GOD’S BLESSINGS (THROUGH DIVINE FAVOUR)*

BIBLE TEXT: ESTHER 2:1-18
[1]After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
[2]Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
[3]And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
[4]And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
[5]Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
[6]Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
[7]And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
[8]So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
[9]And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
[10]Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.
[11]And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
[12]Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
[13]Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
[14]In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
[15]Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
[16]So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
[17]And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
[18]Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

INTRODUCTION:

Divine Favour is Good will, generosity or mercy from God.
Safe in my refuge, sweet is my rest,
Nothing can harm me, nothing molest;
Jesus my spirit so tenderly calms
Holding me close in His mighty arms
Oh, what wonderful, wonderful rest!
Trusting completely in Jesus I’m blest
Sweetly He comforts, favours and shield from all harm,
Holding me safe in His mighty arms

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS
A. After these things when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti “What she had done, and what had been decreed against her Queen Vashti was proud and she disobeyed the kings instruction so she was removed as a Queen. Do you also have pride? Pride is a sin. Sin is whatever you do that makes God unhappy. Sin separates you from God Romans 3:26. God sent Jesus to save you and I for the punishment of our sin.
B. The king servant said let beautiful young virgin be sought for the king to choose from as wife.
C. And Mordecai a Jew, carried as a captive from Jerusalem to Shushan brought up Esther his uncle daughter, she had neither father nor mother she was also taken to the kings palace into the care of Hegal the custodian of the women.
D. Now the young woman pleased him and she obtained his favor, so he readily gave beauty preparation to her beside her allowance
E. Esther had not revealed her people or family for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.
F. Each young woman came to kingAhasuerus after she had completed twelve month of preparation, in the morning she went and morning she returned to the second house of women.

H. So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month of Tebeth in the seventh year ot his reign.

CLIMAX: The king loved Esther more than all the other women and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins. So he set the royal crown upon her head and made her Queen instead of Vashti.

CONCLUSION: The king made a feast of Esther for all his official and servants and proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and he gave gifts according to the generosity of a king
