QUALITY DECISION

Text: Esther  4:16

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

 *Quality decision taking is a major determinant of life's quality.* But you will not be able to always make quality decision without God's help and direction.

Queen Esther took a very tough decision to go in to the King at the peril of her life. Though this decision looks dangerous, but it is a quality decision that would save all her lineage (the Jews) from being annihilated.

Until Queen Esther decided to disregard her own life, the lives of the Jewish community would have been totally destroyed according to Haman's plan (Esther 3:8-11).

Remember, before Queen Esther could say, "If I perish, I perish", she had already requested that her Jewish community in Shushan should fast for her for three days and three night (that's complete abstinence from food  and water for 72hours).

 *Your quality and right decision at best would remain a risky attempt of trial and error if you disregard God's intervention.* 

Queen Esther's call for God's intervention via fasting was what made her deadly and dangerous decision a  worthwhile and qualitativeone.

You will always make quality decisions if only you will:

1. Trust in the LORD with all your heart;

2. Not lean on your own understanding and;

3. Acknowledge God in all your ways.

These will always bring clarity and direction to your life. 

Bible  Reading: Esther 4: 1-17.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to always involve you in all my decisions from now on.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
