Monday, July 13, 2009, The Favor of God, Part 3

Favor, you are entitled to it because of your covenant with God.

God says: My intent for establishing covenant is so I can have an avenue to bring blessings to your life and be a channel to increase favor in your life.

God favors you in all things.

Things you have been struggling with for a long time start coming to pass when you realize you have favor with God and act on it.

Favor brings so much into your life. Over the next few days, we are going to explore the many ways that favor enhances your life.

Favor brings SELF-CONFIDENCE

Understanding that you have favor gives you self-confidence.

Psalm 145:16 You open your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor.
Psalm 89:17 Favor gives confidence because you know God is on your side.

Psalm 8:5
Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor (favor).
Believe God has crowned you with favor.
See God clothing you with favor.

Act like it.

Live, expecting favor everywhere you go and in everything you do.
Expect favor to change your disappointments in appointments, your failure into success, your failure into victory, your discouragement into encouragement, your insecurity and frustration into success.
Past failures and disappointments condition you to accept disappointment and discouragement. Don’t let these failures and disappointments determine your future. Expect divine appointments and encounters and connections

You are God’s prized possession.
You are of a royal family.
Your ancestry goes back in the family line to God Almighty.
The blood of Jesus flows through your veins.
You wear a crown.
You are special

Jesus earned this favor for you. It has nothing to do with your merits or good deeds. You’re not somebody special because of what you did but because of what He did—He did it because He deeply loved you.

GOD WANTS YOU TO ASK HIM FOR FAVORS.
AS A FAVOR TO ME, LORD, INTERVENE IN MY BEHALF OR _______’S BEHALF WITH YOUR GOODNESS TO MAKE THIS SITUATION RIGHT.
