The King That Purifies

By

Good morning

 Scripture Reading: Esther 2

Worship song: Refiner's Fire

 


Meditation:

    Esther cleanses herself before meeting King Ahasuerus, but our King, Jesus Christ purifies us to meet Him. Esther was subjected to twelve (12) months of purification using oil and incense before she was brought before King Ahasuerus. Still, only the efficacious blood of Jesus Christ purifies us and brings us into the presence of the King of all kings. Seven maids help Esther to get purified to meet King Ahasuerus, but God is the only one who thoroughly purifies us of all our sins and unrighteousness. 

    Ahasuerus delights in physical cleansing, but God takes pleasure in spiritual purification. Esther's beauty pleased the king, but our desire to live a holy and righteous life delights our Heavenly King. Esther could only go to her king when he summoned her, but there is no time slot, appointment required, limitation, boundary, or distance that will hinder us or prevent us from going before our King. Of all the women who purified themselves to meet the king, only Esther obtained grace and favor, but all those who seek to walk according to God's precepts and commands will receive his grace, mercy, and favor. Esther was a replacement, but we are all deemed worthy and accepted through the blood of Jesus Christ. When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has found.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, as I bow before you, I beseech you to empty us of all impurities, from presumptuous sin and carnal weaknesses. Cleanse us from deep within and blot out all our transgressions. Almighty God, only you are worthy and capable of purifying and sanctifying us, only you, O God, can cleanse us of all impurities and iniquities, and so Father, I beseech you to plunge us beneath the fountain of your blood. Wash us thoroughly with hyssop, mighty God until our hearts are completely purged. Lord, we present our case before you and boldly ask you to forgive us for trespassing against you as we forgive those who trespass against us. Almighty God, purify our hearts, set us apart for your purpose, and allow your light to shine within us and radiate outward so that others may see the Christ in us. Father, we need you more than anything this world has to propose to offer, so Lord, do what you propose to do in us through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen. 

Wishing you a day of abundant blessings. 💘🙏

    Sin has been the obstacle of every child of God, young or old and must be dealt with as early as it is discovered less like cancer it reaches its deadly stage. Let us help one another so no one dies in sin. Take care. Let's march forward for God in His holiness. Shalom.

Good morning Day of Testimony- Learning to Depend on Jesus Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all your ways ac acknowledged him, and he shall direct thy path. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Worship song: Learning to Lean on Jesus   Personal Testimony:      Looking back on my journey, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for where the Lord brought me. Without his boundless grace, I truly would have been lost. His grace is truly sufficient for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

I gladly boast in my weaknesses, knowing it is through them that the power of Christ shines the brightest. Learnin...

Routine Worship

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St Luke 4:16 Worship song: The Heart of Worship   Meditation:      It is customary for believers in Christ to gather in synagogues and places of worship at least once weekly to fellowship, praise, and honor God, our Creator. These religious practices, if performed without genuine desire and heart engagement, can become mere routines, detached from a life pleasing to God and a desire to glorify and submit to Him. Matthew 15:8 is a reminder that outward expression of faith must align with a heart that is connected with God. When our lives are governed by customary rituals, we become complacent, and the purpose of our worship loses its true value because we are committed to following a routine rather than seeking to develop a closer relationship with God.       Our prayers are mere words uttered from our lips with no inclination from the Holy Spirit. We read the word of God but lack the wisdom to co...

Good morning Day of prayer - Depending on God I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2                          Worship song: Jesus We're Depending on You   Let us pray:      Dependable, capable, and adorable God, I have learned to lean and depend on you to supply my needs according to your riches in glory. You are my strength and my shepherd, I lack nothing. All my help comes from You, Lord, so I put my trust in You. Daily, you provided shelter, divine blood courage, and protection for which I am extremely grateful. Lord, you have calmed the biosterous storms, kept me safe from danger, and allowed me to dance to the rhythm of your faithfulness. Amid adversity and uncertainty, you grant me hope, peace, and happiness. In my distress, your presence calms my anxieties and fears.   ...

Prioritizing Your Desire

By

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 6::25-33 Worship song: I Desire Jesus   Meditation:      What is your greatest desire in life? Is it for worldly gain or the Kingdom of Christ? Your desire to know more about Jesus Christ should be your priority over earthly pursuits. The ultimate aspiration of every believer is to deepen their relationship with Christ and follow the pathway of righteousness. As followers of Christ, we must diligently study God's word to gain knowledge and a profound understanding of his will. Our desire must be to submit fully and surrender to God, our Master.       Reflect on King Solomon's testimony. After experiencing the heights of worldly success, he realized that without a connection to God and a spiritual purpose, even the greatest achievements and pleasures are ultimately meaningless and lead to a sense of emptiness and weariness. King Solomon confessed that all his gain was vanity and vexation of spirit. While we...
