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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...
For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
