God's Favor

Many years ago, I read the list below entitled “Ten Benefits of the Favor of God.” As I was studying the Word and searching through my computer files, I came across it and wanted to share.

Now before you read the list, stop and think about what the word favor means to you. Favor is a powerful word and position to be in with the Lord. It is something granted out of good will. You can't really earn it; it's just the goodness of God. It's the fact that God is so merciful and loving that He wants to grant you a favor.

God established a covenant of increase with Abraham and that covenant included favor. As a Believer, your job is to trust God and obey His commandments. Roadblocks will attempt to stop the flow of God’s favor in our lives, but we must never give up or believe that God is not on our side.

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12 NKJV)
Ten Benefits of the Favor of God:

1. The favor of God is producing supernatural increase and promotion in my life. (Genesis 39:21)
2. The favor of God is restoring everything that the enemy has stolen from me. (Exodus 3:21)
3. The favor of God is giving me honor in the midst of my adversaries. (Exodus 11:3)
4. The favor of God is increasing my assets and real estate. (Deuteronomy 33:23)
5. The favor of God is producing great victories in the midst of great impossibilities. (Joshua 11:20)
6. The favor of God is producing recognition, even when I seem the least likely to receive it. (I Samuel 16:22)
7. The favor of God gives me preferential treatment. (Esther 2:17)
8. The favor of God grants me petitions, even by ungodly civil authorities. (Esther 5:8)
9. The favor of God causes policies, rules, regulations and laws to be changed to my advantage. (Esther 8:5)
10. The favor of God will win battles that I won't have to fight because God will fight them for me. (Psalm 44:3)

Accept and receive God's favor. It will change your life. Remember to Walk by faith, not by sight!
