Secondly, every good deed a person does has a time of reward. Until God made the King not to be able to sleep, and the king opened the book of remembrance and reward, Mordecai got nothing. It is important to know the following concerning God opening the book of remembrance and reward concerning a person:įirstly, until God causes the book of remembrance and reward to be opened concerning a person, like Mordecai, the good deed of the person would go unrewarded. The king asked Haman what honour should be done for a person the he (the king) delights in, Haman answered and the king said that Haman should go and do so to Mordecai. So, the King decided to reward him.Īs this was going on, Haman walked into the court of the palace to ask the king for permission to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had made. The king asked what honour and dignity were bestowed upon Mordecai for His deed, and he was told that nothing was done. While reading, God Almighty divinely guided the reader to the portion where mordecai's good deed was recorded. Once night, the king could not sleep and he commanded that the book of records of the chronicles should be brought and read to him. (Esther 3:5-6).Īs Haman's plan was in progress, God divinely intervened. Life went on for Mordecai until Haman, whom the king had promoted above all the princes of the land (Esther 3:1), decided to destroy Mordecai. The matter was recorded in the book of records of the chronicles and the case was closed. If the matter had been investigated and not proven to be correct, the king could decide that he should be killed.īased on the fact that he endangered his own life by exposing the plan just to save the king's life, he ought to have been rewarded or honoured but nothing was done for him. Mordecai risked his life by exposing the plan. It must be noted that it was a serious allegation for a person who was carried captive into a foreign land to accuse anyone of planning to kill the king of the land. The two accused were killed but Mordecai never got any kind of reward or commendation for revealing the plan. The matter was investigated and discovered to be true. "1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles and they were read before the king.Ģ And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.ģ And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him." Esther 6:1-3 KJV.īy God's grace, Mordecai got information that two people (Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains), wanted to kill the king (Ahasuerus).
