Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | June 27, 2020 | LESSONS FROM BIBLE LEADERS – ESTHER | WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE | Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 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. – Esther 4:15-16

Beloved, saints of all ages, that must include you shall continue to be eternally grateful to our loving Father in heaven, for given us our Lord Jesus Christ, the unspeakable gift, who is much more than a savior and Lord for us.

This is because Jesus our Lord during His earthly ministry, lived exeplanry lifestyle for saints of all ages and you in particular to replicate and experience noble prizes here and hereafter. These in deed are your heritage and they shall not elude you in particular in Jesus name.

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

No wonder the blessed Holy Spirit exhorts believers of all ages, especially you to look unto Jesus and follow His exeplanry lifestyle for your earthly and eternal well being. See these.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Dearly beloved because you are going to be blessed on this side of heaven and at eternity,, there are dear prices to pay like Jesus to harvest incorruptible prizes.

LESSONS FROM BIBLE LEADERS – ESTHER | WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE | so will I go in unto the king, which is wrong: and if I perish, I perish. – Esther 4:15-16

See Bible days saints that followed after this same lifestyle of Jesus and won incorruptible prizes.

Queen Esther

Esther 4:15-16 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 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.

Joseph

Gen 39:7 — Gen 39:10 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

The Patriarchs.: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc.

Heb 11:13 — Heb 11:16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Regrettably beloved, there were some people in Bible days both in old and new testaments, who failed to pay requisite dear prices, because of this, they lost incorruptible prizes. This shall not be your portion. You must determindly avoid it.

Esau

Heb 12:15 — Heb 12:17 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Judas

Mat 27:3 — Mat 27:5 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Because you have resolved not be like Esau and Judas,. See what you must do till you meet Jesus in the air after the dawning rapture.

Psalms 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

1Co 9:24 — 1Co 9:27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

The grace of God shall avail for you and be sufficient in Jesus name.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
