Living Word Devotional By Pastor Mensa Otabil - DIVINE FAVOUR- Wednesday, July 10th, 2019

“And so find favour and high esteem In the sight of God and man” – Proverbs 3:4

Favour is defined as approval; a kind helpful act beyond what is due. To favour also means to endorse, to prefer, make things easier for someone. The favour of God can be described as, tangible evidence that a person has God’s approval at a particular time. It is God’s favour that makes all the difference in a person’s life. God’s favour:

Promotes – like Esther, it will take you to higher levels of success and service. It will bring you to the corridors of power. One day Esther was an Jewish orphaned refugee, a year later she was crowned Queen of Persia. God’s favour caused Esther to gain the goodwill of everyone she met. A day of God’s favour is worth more than a thousand days of your labour.

Gives preferential treatment- like Ruth, Boaz will delight in you and treat you far beyond the ordinary.

Honours – like Mordecai, King Ahasuerus will be looking for you to decorate you. It may look as if your good deeds have been forgotten but get ready, God’s favour will trouble the sleep of the king.

Restores – like Israel leaving Egypt, all your denied and stolen resources will be restored to you without a struggle and in no time.

Overrules man’s rule – like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the eunuch and King Nebuchadnezzar will grant your request against the nation’s policy.

Gives Divine Attention – like Mary, God’s Angel will be sent with your miracle. You need divine favour. You need preferential treatment. You need advantage. You need favour to gain access to opportunities and find success. Every child of God qualifies for Divine favour. Receive it now!

Prayer: Lord, let your favour rest on me.
