The Favor of God, Part 9
Tuesday, July 21, 2009, The Favor of God, Part 9
There is so much to learn about favor. Let us continue today with the various points of favor with God.
There is favor for those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity (Ephesians 6:14). We serve those whom we love. We serve the Lord Jesus Christ because we love Him, and the Father honors us (John 12:26). When we are honored by someone, we receive preferential treatment from them. We are honored by God. We are favored in that honor. Contained in honor is favor.
When we love God, we are walking in fellowship with Him. We are devoted to Him. As a result of loving Him, we love those around us. What He asks us to do, we are happy to do for Him. We are people of prayer as a result of our relationship with Him. That relationship opens us up to success in the law of favor. Favor is our portion. In fact, look at Psalm 84:11. The Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. Do you see that? No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly before Him.
As children of God we must continue to confess favor with God and man. We are to speak good confessions over ourselves: I am a person of prayer. I am obedient. I walk in fellowship with God. I love God and others. I am devoted to Him. We are to speak to the rock of circumstances and limitations and expect (like the water) good things to flow to us (Numbers 20:8).
We have said this before but it needs to be repeated: Don’t accept what has happened in the past as a determiner of your future success. You and I do have the favor of the Lord. He favors us with good all the days of our lives. What we must do is believe it and say it is ours.
There are benefits to walking in the favor of God. Psalms 102:13,16 tells us that the “…set time to favor me is come.” This set time of favor will precede His coming, the appearing of the Lord and His Glory. We’re in it NOW. God is a NOW God!
Here is a list of some of the benefits of favor:
1. Favor precedes supernatural increase and promotion.
2. Favor produces restoration of everything the enemy has stolen.
3. Favor produces honor in the midst of adversaries.
4. Favor produces increased assets, especially real estate.
5. Favor produces great victories in the midst of great impossibilities.
6. Favor produces recognition, even when you seem least likely to receive it.
7. Favor produces prominence and preferential treatment.
8. Favor produces petitions granted, even by ungodly civil authorities.
9. Favor causes policies, rules, regulations and laws to be changed and reversed
to your advantage.
10. Favor produces battles won which you won’t even fight because God will fight
them for you.
11. Favor brings wealth or riches financially. (God gives us an assignment and
supplies everything we need for it. With these riches come the right people,
all we need, abundance, plenty, expertise, quality, talent, and anointing.
You are highly favored!
