Bible Reading in One Year: Numbers 34-36

And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared: Est. 6: 13-14. Haman was the enemy of the Jews when they were in exile in Babylon, and because of his hatred for Mordecai, he vowed to see the entire nation of Israel destroyed in one day. While he was working at it, things started to turn against him. The evil he planned for the Israelites was given back to him; God gave him 'back to the sender'.

Zeresh, Haman's wife and his wise friends had advised him, ''We wish you would stop fighting against these people because Mordecai is a seed of the Jews and you surely cannot prevail over him. You have already started to fall before him and you will continue to because he is born of Abraham.'' (v13). Haman's wife and friends were speaking from revelation and knowledge because earlier in Scripture, God had said to Abraham: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed: Gen 12:3 (NKJV).

These people understood that anybody who curses a believer will bear the curse and anyone attempting to work against us is planning his own death. We don't have to do anything physically against these people; just by praying, the enemy gets into the grave. Mordecai prevailed just because he was a seed of Abraham and the word from God had already gone ahead of him that anyone who blesses the seed of Abraham is blessed and anyone who curses him shall be cursed. He prevailed by the covenant God made with his fore-father Abraham. Similarly, the enemy cannot stand against you; you are the seed of Abraham by faith, and you only need to activate the covenant. As Mordecai, the seed of the Jew, had greater strength and influence than Haman, so shall you always prevail over everything that confronts you, in Jesus’ name.

I wish your enemies will have the wisdom to know that they should no longer attempt to work against you because from today things have started turning against them, in Jesus’ name. Praise God!

Prayer/Action
* Ask for the strength of God that never fails over your battles.
* Ask the covenant of Abraham to go to work in your matter.
* Ask God to turn the battles against every Mordecai confronting you.
