SURROUNDED BY FAVOUR

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Psalms 30:5

For His anger is for but a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Additional Verses

📖 Deuteronomy 28: 1-14; Psalm 23:1-6; Matthew 5:1-12

If you are a child of God you should know that you are surrounded by favor. It is not the favor which comes from people but comes from God Himself. As long as you are a child of God, you are a joint heir with Jesus Christ and therefore you are the blessed of God. Surrounded by favor means that you are surrounded by blessings. You have been blessed with the gift of life and that is favor because many have not lived to see this day. You can only experience blessings when you appreciate the gift of life. But if you are ungrateful, you cannot experience the blessings. The blessings will be taken to someone else who has a grateful heart. When you dwell in the presence of the LORD, you do not lack because whatever you want is already there and there is no need to struggle for the blessings that are rightfully yours. Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is my Shepherd, l shall not be in want.” The problem with many children of God is that they spend their time focusing on problems rather than on God’s favor. They completely forget what the Word of God says about any problem they may face in Romans 8:28; “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” Remember what the LORD Jesus Christ said to you in Luke 10:19 that, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” You should therefore not be overwhelmed by any problem, no matter the magnitude because all that you need to overcome that problem is right inside you. Jesus Christ now dwells inside you as 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, “Know you not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” All you need to do is to declare the Word of God in faith, and you will immediately come out of that situation. Sometimes God is working in ways you cannot see yet. He maybe strengthening your faith for a testimony, preparing the right timing, perfecting you for something you cannot see or teaching you to trust Him beyond what your eyes cannot understand. Isaiah 55:8 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.” You should know that certain situations are allowed to happen in your life in order that your faith can be tried and tested just as James 1:2 reminds when he says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” From today therefore refuse to be disadvantaged or discouraged by anything or anyone as you are the favored of the LORD. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, l give You all the Glory and honor for You have called me Your child. I bless Your Holy name for so favoring me. Help me to always be conscious of Your presence and favor. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
