DIVINE FAVOUR LOCATED ESTHER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: DIVINE FAVOUR LOCATED ESTHER

TEXT: Esther 2: 1 -4, 8 -10

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10th

Key verse: Esther  2: 17: And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor 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.
Many easily get discouraged when they lose their loved ones like parents, mentors, siblings, friends, etc… especially at the infant stage and they feel like giving up life because to them there is no more hope. Esther’s case was not so; she remained obedient to her uncle, Mordecai, who adopted her as his daughter and kept to all his instructions. She remained a virgin even in the face of hardship that the uncle could have been facing as an ordinary gateman. How many of our parents today can beat their chests and say they have so trained their daughters to the point that they handed them to their husbands as virgins?
Esther presented herself even before the contest for the position of a queen, in her natural beauty and discipline different from others, as the keeper of the women preferred her and her maid and gave them the best place in the house of the women. The lifestyle she has been living before the contest reflected, unlike others who may want to fake their true nature and character to gain acceptability, win, and demonstrate mischief in the palace like Vashti did. 
The transparent lifestyle of a true believer is what is pleasing to God. Sincere children of God are known by the way they conduct themselves. Use of trousers by females, weave-on, attachment, false nails, miniskirts, ungodly dresses. false hair, tight-fitting dresses, and such like are of the devil and all that do so have no place in the kingdom of God. Esther was favored to be a queen because of her exceptional attitude of taking to instructions, respect for all, and godly dressing. The position of a queen did not stop her from serving God when she took a dangerous decision to come before the king against palace policy, to save the life of the Jews. 

Thought for the day: Seek God to clear all hindrances in obtaining His favor

Song for the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord
Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 17-18; 2 Corinthians 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...
