Topic: ZERO TO HERO PART 3
Biblical Text: “ And the king loved Esther above all the woman 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”. [Esther 2:17]
King Ahasuerus hosted a feast and invited queen Vashti to come and show the princes and the people her beauty but she refused to come out at the king’s commandment. The king was displeased; he consulted with his advisers and concluded that queen Vashti should be banished from the palace and her royal estate should be given to another. The search began for who will replace queen Vashti. Young virgins were carefully selected amongst which the next royal queen in Shushan would be chosen. Among the fair virgins selected was Esther. She was an orphan; with no father and mother; she lived with her uncle in exile. But Esther was a humble and God-fearing fair virgin. The virgins were given twelve months to take care of themselves after which they will be brought to the king. The turn of Esther came to meet the king; the Lord gave her grace and favour in the presence of the king over all the other virgins. The king set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. The king then honored Esther with a great feast. For God to lift us from a zero to a hero, we must be humble and God fearing; just like Esther. Also, the king did not want any lady, he wanted a virgin; it is also important we keep our chastity for God to take us from a zero to a hero.
