Breaking protocols Esther 5:1-3



In the first chapter of the book of Esther, the queen (Vashti) did something very wrong, she refused the king’s order, the king was very wroth, the king was so angry that he couldn’t keep the matter to himself, he had to inform the wise men to know the best punishment for her, the elders concluded she didn’t just sin against the king but against the princes and the entire province.

Esther in the third chapter did almost the same thing, she refused the king’s order not to appear in front of the king uninvited, instead of been punished she was blessed.

What differentiated Vashti from Esther, was it beauty?, no, it was anointing (power) the Bible recorded that Esther and her people fasted and prayed 3 days before she appeared before the king and broke protocol.

Vashti had guts but her guts got her killed because she doesn’t have heaven’s backup, it goes beyond some physical strengths or power or self-esteem to confront the Lion, to approach the unapproachable, don’t go empty before the devil and expect him to let you go free if he spares you at all, it’s gonna be your dead body.
Only power not even the letter opens the door. There is power in the name of Jesus, Esther appeared before God (the king of kings) before she moved near the king.
