Why we need the favour? II
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!
