DAY SEVENTY | FINDING FAVOUR

DAY SEVENTY | FINDING FAVOUR

Genesis 18:3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in your sight, pass not away, I pray of you, from your servant:

Favour is an amazing thing. You know when you have it and you sure know when you don’t have it. In the above verse we see Abraham actually seeking favour. He is actually looking for it and asking for it. One of the key elements to living in the blessing of God is to know how to find favour with God and man.

In Luke 2: 52 we read of Jesus increasing in favour with God and man. Favour is not an accident. Favour with God is always available to those who trust in Him, but must be found and appropriated to life. Let me share a few thoughts on finding favour with God and man.

God deals with mankind on three different levels.
MERCY – He shows mercy to all mankind and does not destroy us as Sinners
GRACE – He extends grace (undeserved favour) to all who call upon His name and become Saints
FAVOUR – He bestows favour upon those who walk uprightly before Him as His Sons.
Favour is the blessing of God resting upon His people for His purpose. For you to live a favoured life you must absolutely do the following.

ACCEPT that favour belongs to you and rests on you.
SEARCH for favour in all you say and do.
ASK for favour from God and man.
EXPECT favour to come into your life.
ALLOW others to favour you in life as you would show them favour.

The favour of God is the most important thing you will ever know. Once you experience it you will never want to lose it.
