*_From Esther to Excellence: God's Preparation for Christian Women_*


In the biblical narrative, Esther's life was a testament to divine preparation. Before she could ascend to the throne as queen, she underwent a transformative process that prepared her intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Similarly, the journey of a single Christian woman mirrors this process, as she is intricately prepared by God for the significant roles of marriage and motherhood.


Proverbs 31:25 encapsulates the essence of this preparation, *"Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come."* The preparation isn't merely external; it involves the internal fortification of strength and honor, gifts bestowed by God upon the woman for the seasons ahead.


Intellectual preparation is crucial. Proverbs 4:7 emphasizes, *"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding."* God's Word becomes the foundational wisdom that equips her mind and heart, preparing her to navigate the complexities of life.


Emotional preparedness, vital for the challenges of marriage and motherhood, is cultivated through God's transformative love. 1 Corinthians 13:11 highlights this process, *"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things."* The emotional maturity nurtured by God readies her for profound relationships.


Spiritual preparation is woven into the fabric of her singleness. Ephesians 5:26 portrays this, *"that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word."* God's Word serves as the cleansing agent, preparing her spiritually for the calling that awaits.


Singleness is not a mere waiting period but a divine preparation orchestrated by God Himself. Jeremiah 29:11 reinforces this, *"'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the LORD, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.'"*


May every single Christian woman find solace and purpose in God's meticulous preparation, knowing that it sets the stage for a future filled with His divine intentions.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
