ESTHER’S VICTORY OVER THE FLESH AND FEAR OF MAN

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: ESTHER’S VICTORY OVER THE FLESH AND FEAR OF MAN

TEXT: ESTHER 2:16-19

SATURDAY JUNE 24TH

KEY VERSE: 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Queen Esther was a victorious, godly woman among her peers, who were generally unbelievers and pagans from heathen nations. Circumstances brought her into a contest with all these ladies she won a resounding international victory to be crowned queen of the empire. May the Lord always remember you and make you victorious in all righteous endeavors. May you emerge victorious when you are examined alongside other people as was the case with Esther, and also with Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Esther was victorious over the flesh in many areas: She conquered her flesh. She overcame the fear of King Ahasuerus, the monarch of the kingdom. She contended with the fear of death and overcame it. Circumstances brought her into a life-and-death struggle against Haman, the arch-enemy of the Jews and she overcame him in her wisdom. She conquered because she was a godly woman and her God was with her. The Lord shall raise many Esthers in our time because there are great battles to fight and win for Jesus.
What is worldliness? It means living and behaving like the people of the world. That is, living, speaking, thinking, acting, planning, and dressing like the world. Seeking beauty and running after the fashion of this world that fades away. Admiring and aspiring for false beauty from cosmetics, jewellery, and all forms of artificial beauty. Esther conquered these things. She was victorious over the temptation of carnal and fleshly beauty, even at the peak of a keenly contested beauty pageant. 
Without righteousness beauty is vanity. Give priority to righteousness, else beauty without righteousness will not profit you. Real beauty is not about the face but the heart, possessing the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the sight of God. 

Thought for the day: Without righteousness beauty is vanity

Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believer. Lord, I want to be holy

Bible reading for the day: Job 1-3; Acts 7:1-19

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...
