He is the prime minister (deputy president) in the King Xierxier's Kingdom. He is proud and because of his high position thinks everybody should kneel and bow before him when he is passing. But Modercai would not bow before him, because He only bows to God of Israel. This makes Haman furious and his wife  and his friends advice him to kill Modercai if it will make him feel better.

God's Plea for Kenya A few days ago I came across a forward on Whatsapp about  Kenyan Pastor who God recently talked to and asked him to warn Kenyans  of an forthcoming disaster if they would not pray and repent.

Romans 12: 1-21 Romans 12:1-21 explains the kind of life God expects us to live according to His perfect will. This kind of life requires us to die of self and take up the life of Christ. Our own self demands us to look at what our body or flesh desires. More often we can become selfish and only consider what is of interest of us and not others. Our flesh would want to dwell in sin but God wants us to put on the life of Christ and live a life that is according to his perfect will as follows: Your love for God and others must be sincere Hold on to wat is good Hate what is evil Be devoted to one another in brotherly love Honor one another above yourselves Never be lazy but work hard Serve the Lord your God with a heart full of devotion Be joyful in hope-let your joy keep   you joyful Be patient in your troubles Be faithful in prayer- pray at all times Share with God’s people who are in need-Be generous Practice hospitality Bless those who persecute you, ...
