Walking With GodSample

DAY THIRTY

Abundantly Increasing in God's Divine Favor

What is favor? 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.

Another definition is: a gift bestowed as a token of regard. In other words, God just wants you to know how much regard He has for you, so He does favors for you as a token.

The Bible says the Lord is merciful, gracious, and full of compassion. The Hebrew translation of compassion is "disposed to show favors!"

I don't think we have believed God for favor like we should. We are always asking people, "Would you do a favor for me?", or "Could you do me a favor?" God is disposed to show favors TO US!

When the favor of God goes before you, it opens doors that NO man can shut! It opens doors that men say are impossible to open! The favor of God will change rules, regulations, policies, and even bring down governments, if necessary, to get you through the door God wants you through.

The favor of God will work for you not only in spiritual things, and not only in life and death situations, but the favor of God will go before you and cause the very desires of your heart to come to pass. God even wants to get involved in your hobbies.

If you are up against battles right now and you have done everything you know to do, and you're not getting anywhere, then call on the favor of God! Say, "God, I need a favor!"

The favor of God on your life enables you to win battles that are impossible for you to win in your own strength. Psalm 5:12 says, "For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with FAVOR wilt thou compass him as with a shield."

When the favor of God is upon you, you can walk with your head held up high even in life's storms, because somehow—someway, you know the favor of God will take care of it and turn it into a VICTORY! Confess this every day over your life:

My Covenant calls for an abundant increase of the favor of God in my life!
