THEME: PRINCIPLE OF FAVOR
Luke 2:52 NKJV
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
INSIGHT
-Jesus, the Son of God, grew in favor with God and man as He lived a life of obedience and righteousness. Jesus resonated with His Father’s heart and the knowledge of Who He was as a Son, He was obedient and upholded righteousness. Favor was upon Him because He is the Son, Who knew His Father and Who knew Who He was. Out of that place He could manifest His Sonship loving as His Father loves. We are called to grow in the realization of God’s favor as we grow in knowing our Father and Who we are as sons and daughters, and we will love as He loves; obedience and righteous living will result in Jesus name.
SUMMARY
Favor in Hebrew is written as chen and charis in Greek which is commonly translated as grace, kindness, or goodwill. God blesses the righteous and surrounds him with His favor as with a shield (Psalms 5:12). Favor is acquired through obedience to God’s word, and watching daily at the gates of God, but those who sin against God wrongs his own soul and loves death (Proverbs 8:33-36). The favor of the Lord establishes the work of our hands (Psalm 90:17). We excel in business and our work through the favor of God. He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22). Married couples obtain God’s favor, not only the husband who finds a wife but both parties. Esther found favor before king Ahasuerus instead of all the other virgins, and she become queen of the kingdoms of Persia instead of Vashti (Esther 2:17). As queen Esther found favor before God and was tasked to save the Israelites from extermination by Haman, may we obtain God’s favor in our lives so that we may walk in divine destiny and leave a worthwhile legacy.
PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus You are the Light of our salvation and in Your light we see light. In Your salvation we find favor before You and before men. May we find favor, grace and wisdom before You Lord together with our families, communities, and nation. May all our children grow in favor before You Lord and before men, and in wisdom and stature. May You forgive us all our sins and iniquities and deliver us from every anxiety, fear, oppression, depression, limitation, barrenness, torment and addiction in Jesus name. May You break every barrier, limitation, barrenness, hinderance, delay, bar of iron, gate of bronze and every chain in Jesus name. May shall overcome by the word of our testimonies and by the blood of the Lamb. May You hear all our prayers, petitions and supplications and make a way for us even where there seems to be no way. May You give us the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that we may know that You are God, the God of Israel. May You our God of peace, sanctify us through and through body, soul and spirit and keep us blameless at Your coming dear Lord Jesus Christ. May You grant Your true salvation to us and all people dear merciful Savior. We surrender our lives to You, our families, marriages, businesses, future, ministries, legacy, influence, future unto You dear Jesus. Lord may You do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask of or think of according to the power that is at work in us. Lord we trust in You and exalt You. We believe that You are able to do more than we can think of or imagine. We believe that we shall be extremely fruitful since we abide in You and You in us. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in Your house forever. May You bless us and keep us loving Father, may You shine Your face upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance towards us and give us peace. Amen
Blessed Weekend
