OBSG Series 10 - Reward of Obedience prt.2

Esther 2:15-17 Esther was a no body and the niece of an Israelite living in a foreign land, but obedience brought her before King Ahasuerus and even made her head Queen who took over the position of a disobedient queen and wife (Queen Vashti)…Praise the LORD of HOST!

Esther only followed the instructions of the King’s Chamberlain Hegai, who was also instructor to the other ladies waiting upon the King.  In the midst of plenty, when she would have lived like she pleased, she disciplined herself to listen to the chamberlain and got favoured and GOD crowned her Queen, wife of the most powerful king all over India and Ethiopia.

This is a great lesson for us all, most of us today find it hard to obey instructions, we prefer to live as we please just like queen Vashti, who lost all she had due to her disobedience while Queen Esther gained everything and took over her position because she was obedient and followed instructions to the letter.

Let us learn to listen to GOD concerning all that concerns us, and also be ready at all times to obey HIS instructions, take directives from HIM and live right as the believers that we truly are.
Let me draw our attention to what I noticed in this message, Esther didn’t go into serious fasting and prayer, she just obeyed instructions.  There are some circumstances and challenges in our lives that requires just simple obedience, not necessarily prayer and fasting. I pray we learn from Queen Esther’s story and live an obedient life henceforth in JESUS Name, amen.

Prayer: Dear HOLY SPIRIT, please guide us henceforth and cause us to live in obedience always and to live according to the will of GOD in our lives in JESUS name, Amen.

OBSG Series 07 – GOD’s Favour

Genesis 29:1-8  Jacob proceeded cheerfully in his journey, after the sweet communion he had with God at Beth-el. Providence brought him to the field where his uncle's flocks were to be watered. What is said of the care of the shepherds for their sheep, may remind us of the tender concern which our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, has for his flock the church; for he is the good Shepherd, that knows his sheep, and is known of them.  The stone at the well's mouth was to secure it; water was scarce, it was not there for every one's use: but separate interests should not take us from helping one another. When all the shepherds came together with their flocks, then, like loving neighbours, they watered their flocks together. The law of kindness in the tongue has a commanding power, Proverbs 31:26 . Jacob was civil to these strangers, and he found them civil to him. Same way, if we today’s Christians listen and obey GOD’s word, HE will definitely do more...

OBSG Series 02 - Esau’s Mistake – Genesis 28:6-9

Esau had married two Canaanite women, women who were from different backgrounds as him, without the fear of GOD in them.  They were idol worshipers. After seeing that his parents urged Jacob to go marry from his mother’s people, he realized his parents were really displeased with his choice.  Esau trying to fix what he had done, took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son as a wife, because to him, marrying his cousin like Jacob was instructed, would fix his broken relationship with his parents but little did he know he was going about it the wrong way, fixing a mistake with another mistake. Genesis 28:6-9 6 Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,” 7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram. 8 Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not p...

OBSG Series 04 – Matthew 28:1-8

Matthew 28:1-8 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. JESUS said I will destroy this church and I will raise it up in 3 days… ( J...
