Evang. John Okah, Gozie Okeke & James Arum - Powerful Worship THE LAW OF RESPECT: ESTHER STAYS ACCOUNTABLE TO MORDECAI (Esther 2: 20-21). Esther was a beautiful young lady being reared by her older cousin, Mordecai. In the days of the persian captivity when Esther found favour with the King and was chosen to become his next queen, the choice surprised both her and Mordecai. She would now hold a significant place of influence in the empire as a jewish captive because she has learned the law of respect, Esther remain accountable to Mordecai. May all find uncommon favour and remain respectful. Amen
