DIVINE FAVOUR TURNED ESTHER FROM ORPHAN TO QUEEN
TEXT: ESTHER 2: 8-9 
Key verse: Esther 2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she 
obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the 
the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

To have a fulfilled life that glorifies God you need righteousness and holiness that makes you a child of God, not necessarily the arm of the flesh. Many are discouraged because things seem not to favour them in life. Some feel so lonely because they have no parents, guardians, siblings, children or relatives, as others, but be informed that God can make you reach His desired end as seen in the life of Esther.

Apart from losing both parents, Esther was adopted by Mordecai and raised as his daughter. Couldn't Mordecai have had other children? We trust he had but there is a lesson here especially for those that love their biological children above others the Lord brought to them. Where are the records of Mordecai's biological children? Were it not for Esther, the name of Mordecai would never have been recorded in the scriptures. Therefore, whosoever the Lord brings to you, give him good training and treat him well. We trust that Mordecai must have been married. Mordecai's wife deserves many commendations for the motherly role she played in forming godly character traits in the life of Esther.

When it was Esther's turn to go to King Ahasuerus, she behaved quite differently from her predecessors. They had asked for all forms of jewellery, ornamentation, fanciful dresses and other things they felt could enhance their beauty and give them the exalted position, but Esther required nothing in addition to the things assigned to her, and she obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked on her. And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. If you want God's favour and blessings in your life, remove sin and artificial beauty from your life. Seek and possess inward and outward holiness of life.

Thought for the day: Seek and possess inward and outward holiness of life.
Song for the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord, in the morning…..
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 34-35; 1 Peter 2

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
