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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
