Good morning highly favored ones!
I want to encourage you today that God is saving the best for last. We’re the ones who are going to experience THE FAVOR OF GOD in its fullness! Hallelujah! Get ready, because there’s going to be some changes around your house – FAVOR is coming!
Psalm 102:13 (NKJV) says,
- You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.
Glory to God! Notice the Psalmist said the set time has come. I believe this is a key phrase. A “set time” would indicate that God’s already programmed it in and no demon, man, or government can change it. It’s a set time. Also, notice what this “set time” is for: FAVOR to come upon Zion. Zion is always symbolic of the church. In other words, there’s a set time for FAVOR to come upon the church like it has never experienced before!
I want to give you 10 benefits of THE FAVOR OF GOD:
- FAVOR produces supernatural increase and promotion (see Genesis 39:21).
- FAVOR produces restoration of everything that the enemy has stolen from you (see Exodus 3:21).
- FAVOR produces honor in the midst of your adversities (see Exodus 11:3).
- FAVOR produces increased assets, especially in the area of real estate (see Deut. 33:23).
- FAVOR produces great victories in the midst of great impossibilities (see Joshua 11:20).
- FAVOR produces recognition, even when you seem the least likely to receive it (see 1 Sam. 16:22).
- FAVOR produces prominence and preferential treatment (see Esther 2:17).
- FAVOR produces petitions granted even by ungodly civil authorities (see Esther 5:8).
- FAVOR causes policies – rules, regulations, and laws to be changed and reversed to your advantage (Esther 8:5).
- FAVOR produces battles won which you won’t even fight because God will fight them for you (see Psalm 44:3).
So, when you get up in the morning, anticipate THE FAVOR OF GOD going before you! Anticipate THE FAVOR OF GOD surrounding you. Expect FAVOR to open doors every day. Expect these benefits to manifest in your life.
Remember, you will get exactly what you expect. If you expect God’s FAVOR to surround you, then you will see it. Your expectations are more powerful than any negative thing Satan can put before you. They will override the negative no matter how often they may manifest in your life.
So, expect God’s FAVOR in your life and watch what it will do. The “set time” has come, so I exhort you to tap into it!
Walking in THE FAVOR OF GOD,
