What is favour?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Peace to you, dear friends!
Today I would like to share with you a word about the power of favour. I believe this word will be a special blessing to you.
In this series of devotionals, I will talk about what favour is. We will discuss the foundation of favour and about how to release, maintain and multiply favour in our lives.  I believe this to be an amazing revelation which will have a great influence on our lives.

Today I will try to give a description of the word “favour.”
What is favour?

  • Favour is a secret desire of an individual to take part in your life and help you to be „the best you”.
  • Favour is the grace and benevolence of other people towards you.
  • Favour is the acts of kindness and mercy that others show towards you.
  • Favour also means having special privileges or someone’s support and/or help.

All of this is your heritage in Christ. God desires to cover your life with favour.

«For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield» (Psalm 5: 13).

If you are made righteous through faith in Jesus Christ, then God promises to bless you and surround you with favour as a shield.
Decide for yourself today that you will walk in the favour of God in all areas of your life.
May God bless you today in a special way!
Till tomorrow!
Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    I must note that ‘accountability group’ (small group, home group) is not the place where you only share your problems or weaknesses. Of course, accountability implies all of it. But if we only do that, then there is no time for instruction or feed-back, and then this group can turn into a place of gossip and slandering.Accountability group or Christian fellowship is the place of learning where we all strive to be more like Jesus. We do it through questions and answers, Bible study, prayer; we listen to each other and support each other.

  • Our highest calling – to reveal God in our flesh

    The Bible says: «For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him» (John, 1:17-18).The law can never save people because the law only reveals the sinful nature of man. The law was given in order for people to realize their need for God and His help. It was Jesus who brought to us the truth and the grace that conveys spiritual power necessary to live in accordance with God’s will. Anyone who will accept this truth and grace will have the power to live a holy life and become an instrument in God’s hand that is able to manifest or declare God’s truth and grace to other people.

  • Faith is obedience to the Lord!

    Are you willing to experience God and His power in your life? If so, trust God and express it via your obedience to Him. The Bible says that without faith you can´t please the Lord. If you don´t please God you cannot experience His presence nor power neither. When God reveals you something He is going to accomplish, you have to follow his invitation without hesitation. It proves your devotion and your desire to listen to His voice. Meanwhile, disobedience turns your heart to stone and shuts our ears to God´s voice. Faith is acting in accordance to the word of God. Quite often God calls us to do impossible things, those only God Himself can accomplish.

    First of all, God ”will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able”. Maybe you don´t even feel that He is keeping all your situations under control but as a matter of fact, He has already set the limit of your hardships. God will not let things, that are above what you can bear, enter your life. You probably underestimate your own strength, but God knows better. When your reasoning is right you prevail over hardships. God will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, so you can overcome all difficulties in life – that´s the idea you should feed your mind with.

    One of the important habits that we need to develop is to pray daily. Prayer must become habitual. God desires to teach us how to forsake bad habits and to develop good ones.Some people have a habit of wasting time. They may know that they need to pray, what they need to pray about, what prayer does etc, but they still don’t pray because they seem to lack the time, since they waste their time on wrong, unfruitful things – TV, computer, telephone conversations and so on. We must make an effort and find the time to pray.
