Favor: A Kingdom Benefit

Psalm 8 shows us 'man' is God's favored creation.
Favor is a benefit for those in God's Kingdom.
Favor is a kingdom benefit of God's sons and daughters.
Favor is one of the ways God brings about His purpose and plan in the life of His people here on Earth.
We see from the scriptures that everyone who was a significant character for God's cause enjoyed favor.
Eg. Daniel, Moses, Joseph, Esther, Gideon, and Jesus were favored to fulfill God's plan

There is nothing ordinary about favor.
Favor takes an individual from darkness to light.
Favor has taken an individual from the prison to the palace before.
Genesis 41:1-57
Favor made an individual who was a captive in a foreign and godless land rise to the top and serve under 4 kings who ruled that land.
Daniel 2: 46-49
Favor was a part of the ministry and life of Jesus Christ.
Jesus had favor with God and man.
Luke 2:52

Favor releases God given opportunities and brings promotion to those God gives it to.
Favor takes us to heights we can't get to in our own power or might.
Favor can deliver to us very easily what others scheme for, struggle for, fight for, and even kill for.
Daniel 6:1-28
The favor of God is applicable to every area of life.
Be a problem solver, and the favor of men will come to you.
Favor is enjoyed in different levels and favor can grow.

Every living human being is enjoying God's grace and favor to a general degree but we are not all equally favored.
If favor can grow, it means there are grades of favor.
We should ask God to increase our favor regularly.
We should seek to do God's will so that our favor will grow.

There is favor for friendships. Daniel 1:6,7
There is favor for marriage. Proverbs 18:22
There is spiritual favor (with God). Luke 9:35
There is a favor that attracts resources. 1 Kings 10:2
There is favor for our life assignment. Nehemiah 2:6-9
There is a favor that makes men follow you (leadership). Matthew 13:2

Favor may be what you need not necessarily human connections.
God's favor can come upon a family, an individual, a career or even a business.
When favor comes it makes all the difference.
We get favor with people we solve problems for.
Genesis 41:1-13
The scriptures makes it clear God favors the righteous.
Psalm 5:12
The righteous are those in Christ Jesus.
The righteous are those in God's kingdom.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Favor is a blessing you have a right to.
Psalm 35:27

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
