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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
