GREAT LEADERS CAN LEAD FROM THE MIDDLE.

Team:

Today in the One Year Playbook we see how God uses the Leadership of Mordecai. ESTHER 1:1-3:15

GREAT LEADERS CAN LEAD FROM THE MIDDLE.

Mordecai was Esther's uncle. He watched out for her from a very young age. Mordecai was a very loyal person. He was always in the mix of things. When Esther was chosen to be queen he checked up on her often.

Mordecai heard of a plot to kill the king. He was able to intercept the message and get it to Esther. Esther then told the king. Mordecai and Esther saved the King's life.

God gives all of us certain gifts to be used for His purpose. If we execute everyone wins. God used Mordecai with his special skill and street knowledge to save the king.

This was very important because years later God would use the kings offspring to encourage Nehemiah to re-build Jerusalem. God knew if the King gets killed then Jerusalem doesn't get rebuilt.

Friends, God is always there before we get there. Just like Mordecai we can all lead from the middle. You don't have to be the King to lead. In this case Mordecai led from where he was to save the king.

GREAT LEADERS CAN LEAD FROM THE MIDDLE.

Every decision counts

Start Fast - Finish Strong!

Just Go!
