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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
