Memorise: And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Exodus 32:33
Read: Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV)
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Bible In One Year: Job 33-34, Acts 13:24-52
MESSAGE:
The story of Mordecai is an interesting one with several lessons for us today. The first thing that comes to mind is that every organized kingdom keeps records. Just as king Ahasuerus kept records of events, so does the Kings of kings, heaven has lots of books out of which are registered for human beings.
Revelations 20:11-15 tells of two sets of books; the book of life and the book of death. Wherever your name falls is where your deeds will be recorded.
Everyone who is born again and lives right until the time of death or the Second Coming can be assured that his or her name is in the book of life. It takes your daily righteous living to sustain your life there. Hence, you have to do everything in your power to retain your name in this glorious book.
Prayer Point: Father, please help me to keep my name in the book of life. Let your grace abound unto me.

Hymn 7:
1. I am Thine 0 Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
