Why we need the favour? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Good day to you, friends!
The power of God’s favour should not be taken for granted. For this reason, for several days now we have been talking about this important matter.

Favour is the solution for all of your problems – spiritual, physical, material and financial. We see that in the life of the nation of Israel.

«And the Lord had given the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested» (Exodus, 12: 36)

When God gave favour to the children of Israel, in one day they took away from the Egyptians an enormous amount of silver and gold.  For 400 years the Israelites had worked in Egypt as slaves; they were mocked and oppressed. However, in one moment the favour of God restored to them everything the Egyptians were holding back from them. In a blink of an eye they were made rich.

«He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among His tribes» (Psalm, 105: 37).

It was God’s favour that ensured the financial wellbeing of Israelites. That is one of the things God’s favour gives us. We need it so much. Even Jesus needed favour in order to excel with God.

«And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men» (Luke, 2 : 52).

Favour is your heritage in God. It is written:

 «For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield» (Psalm, 5: 12).

Do not lose this wonderful heritage from God! Today be grateful to God for the blessings He surrounds you with and the favour He crowns you with as a shield. Receive His blessing in that sphere of your life where you seem to experience stagnation, and you will see God’s movement and breakthrough.
May the Lord bless you!

Till tomorrow!

    “Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!» (Mathew, 15:25). Many people have a hard time even saying the words „help me”. Many people have a hard time acknowledging that they actually need help. They do not want to admit they are helpless in certain situations and call out for help. Help does not come to those that do not ask for it. Only a humble, broken person is able to ask for help. This woman had a broken heart; for this reason she was able to worship Jesus and ask Him for help. May our hearts be humble before God, so that we can worship God and ask for His help. When you need help, you must humble your heart before God.

    Let’s look at the steps that Solomon took in order to find the meaning of life. We will see what conclusions Solomon came to. The first thing Solomon turned to was acquiring of wisdom and knowledge. «I communed with my heart, saying, „Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow» (Ecclesiastes, 1:16-18).

    The only way to see what the Father is doing is to spend time with the father. If you don’t want to just go about doing your own things in your own way, please follow the example of Jesus. Place yourself in a place where you can receive the love of God and allow Him to show you what He is doing now around you, so that you can join Him in His works.

    The world is changing very rapidly. I am convinced that new changes will come into our lives with an increasing speed. If I told you about different predictions and ideas that experts have about our future, then the hearts of many people would be filled with fear. One pastor spoke to me about it and I saw his heart getting filled with fear after hearing all the predictions. He asked me what to do with all of it; is it worth making big plans if all these terrible things are inevitably coming upon the earth? I told him that – thank God – we have the Bible that contains all the answers.
