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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
