God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: ESTHER’S VICTORY OVER THE FLESH AND FEAR OF MAN

TEXT: ESTHER 2:16-19

SATURDAY JUNE 24TH

KEY VERSE: 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Queen Esther was a victorious, godly woman among her peers, who were generally unbelievers and pagans from heathen nations. Circumstances brought her into a contest with all these ladies she won a resounding international victory to be crowned queen of the empire. May the Lord always remember you and make you victorious in all righteous endeavors. May you emerge victorious when you are examined alongside other people as was the case with Esther, and also with Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Esther was victorious over the flesh in many areas: She conquered her flesh. She overcame the fear of King Ahasuerus, the monarch of the kingdom. She contended with the fear of death and overcame it. Circumstances brought her into a life-and-death struggle against Haman, the arch-enemy of the Jews and she overcame him in her wisdom. She conquered because she was a godly woman and her God was with her. The Lord shall raise many Esthers in our time because there are great battles to fight and win for Jesus.
What is worldliness? It means living and behaving like the people of the world. That is, living, speaking, thinking, acting, planning, and dressing like the world. Seeking beauty and running after the fashion of this world that fades away. Admiring and aspiring for false beauty from cosmetics, jewellery, and all forms of artificial beauty. Esther conquered these things. She was victorious over the temptation of carnal and fleshly beauty, even at the peak of a keenly contested beauty pageant. 
Without righteousness beauty is vanity. Give priority to righteousness, else beauty without righteousness will not profit you. Real beauty is not about the face but the heart, possessing the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the sight of God. 

Thought for the day: Without righteousness beauty is vanity

Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believer. Lord, I want to be holy

Bible reading for the day: Job 1-3; Acts 7:1-19

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
