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

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...
