What is favour?
1. To give special regard to
2. To treat with goodwill
3. To show exceptional kindness towards someone
The favor of God can be described as “tangible evidence that a person
has the approval of the Lord.” Favour is giving a person preferential treatment.
God loves everybody, but there are people who He responds to, quickly when they
pray or in need.
In life you find some people usually get things easy, while others
struggle and labour hard to get the same things. The difference between these
two kind of people is favour. The
ones who get things easily done without sweat, are operating in favour. Somehow
these people have found the pathway to the house of favour, having obtained it
and are operating in it.
Everyone needs favour to operate in the fullest . favour just makes
people to like you and do business with you. God is the one that gives favour,
when the favour of the Lord is upon a man’s life everything turns out to be
good. Every misfortune turns into a fortune. Every misery turns into Ministry.
Joseph practically demonstrated and operated in this kind of favour.
But, favour do not just come on its own accord, some things need to be
done to attract the favour of God. God is not moved by our faces or situations
but the dependence upon Him. Ps 102:13, Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon
Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come
The set time to favour you has come, don’t just sit by and watch other
people operate in favour, do things to attract the favour of God and maintain
it. Many have obtained the favour of the devil; it is deceptive and only last
for a short while. Prov 10:22; The blessings of the LORD, it maketh rich, and
he added no sorrow with it.
PEOPLE THAT OPERATED IN THE FAVOUR OF GOD
1) Joseph; Joseph was favoured so much that Jealousy set in. He was
sold into slavery by his own brothers that hated him. But the favour of God
turned his captivity into dominion. Joseph had favour with man and with God; he
turned into a leader in Portiphar’s house and in Prison. Gen 39:21. It was
favour that made him a Prime Minister in a land where he was supposed to be a
slave.
2) Ruth; Ruth was a foreigner but had favour and married Boaz and
became the grandmother of David and great grandmother of our Lord Jesus. It
takes favour to be taken as a wife. Ruth 4:13.
3) Esther; Esther found favour with a foreign king and became the
queen of the land. She was not wearing any beauty agent yet she won the beauty
contest. God’s favour located her. Eshter 2:17
4) Mary; Mary was favoured and became the mother of Jesus on earth.
Luke 1:30-31
