JUST LIKE ESTHER - Alexsa (PART 3)

JUST LIKE ESTHER. Cont.

365days is a long time to wait, she says.
But the Silent Whisper...
Wait, hope, help is coming, Esther

From what am I being purified? she asked
Indecency, silly talking, folly, stubbornness, rebellion the king Hates.
Be submerged much more, he says.

Purification is the time of preparation.
But preparation for what? You may ask
Preparation to meet your King.
But will the King be pleased with me?
Again you ask, just like Esther

Today 365days has been completed
Today, Esther, you most to the King appear.
And, as you go, walk like this, speak like, and act like this
For a queen, I have made of you,
And pleasing to the King you shall be.
Now go... 

And to the king she went
Pleasing to the heathen King she was.
And regal she walked, and Queenly she spoke
And like royalty, she acted
And the King was pleased
And on her head the crown was placed.

All Hail Queen Esther!!!
The model of every Christian girl.

Oh, sister.
Away with this stories, you may say to me
But our God is still the God of Esther.
Can you learn the ways of Esther?
For she lost all, without hope, without help,
Without parents,
Without family,
Without identity, without a race
But in a heathen, ungodly land
A queen, she emerged.

Is your God dead?
No, He is not.

Wait, listen, learn, Just like Esther.
Wait in hope,
Listen and be sensitive
Learn to grow
Just like Esther.

Listen!!! My Single sister
Waiting time is not compromising time,
Waiting time, is not fornication time,
Waiting time is not time for idleness.
The time of waiting, is not the time of wasting.

Precious is time, and it's a gift to you.
With care, you ought to handle it,
For when it passes, never can it be retrieved.
Now is the time to be submerged in oil.
Just like Esther.

Submerged, she was, and a light she became, for her nation.
Spiced she was, and flavour she became, for her nation.
Spiced like salt, so she became, and like salt, she preserved her nation.
This is what preparation does.

Now, is the time to prepare for your Kingdom,
Now, is the time to win God some souls
Now, is the time to sow those seeds that will bear fruits in future
Now, is the time to devour those scriptures,
Now, is the time to visit those prisoners.
Now is the time to care for those rejected sick old folk.
Now, is the time to prevail on your knees.
Now is the time, to be a watcher on the wall.
Now, is the time to stand in love,
To stand in love with Christ.
Now is the time...
for, not long from now
You shall marry
And your attention to your husband and children shall be.

Now, you must listen.
You must learn.
Learn to listen.
Listen to Him woo you.
Learn to fall in love.
To fall in love with Christ.
A lover, he is to you
The bridegroom to the Church he is,
And the bride you are, for you are the Church.

Hey sister!!! Listen.
The waiting time, is a trying time.
Many a man will come your way.
Promises of marriage they will make,
Do they mean it? but how will you know?
Is he a brother? No, he is not,
Does it matter? Yes, it does.

But I'll marry and change him,
To God, I will bring a soul, you say.

Do not forget bed undefiled
Will he agree? I asked.

I doesn't matter, so long as we will marry, you say.

But, is that what God said? I asked.

But am getting old, and all my mates are getting married, you say.

Hmm, Sister Sister.
Danger lies ahead.

Compromise brings in Satan into the home, and when he comes, he takes the womb.

Wait, hope, helping is on its way
Just like Esther's

Sister! Sister!!
Keep your heart with all diligence
For out of it comes the issues of life.

Keeping our hearts to some it seems a big task.

Hello! a man says, and off you go picking out a wedding dress.
Choosing colours for your traditional marriage.

Who he is, you know not,
What he does, you know not.
Yet wedding colours you have already picked.
That is not keeping your heart.

Hello!! A man says, and you start spending your money, cooking, washing and cleaning for him.
That's not keeping your heart.

Sister, answer me this.
Can you meet a lady for the first time, and off you'll go imagining 10yrs from now the conferences, fellowships and seminars you guys will attend together? No, why not?

Then why do that with a total stranger you just met?
Esther waited for 365days without even seeing her husband.

From liars, your heart you must keep.
From thieves, joy killers, destiny destroyers, gigolos, and gold diggers, your heart, you must keep...
