TO THE BIBLE:
1 Corinthians 1:30
“But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
LET’S TALK
As a Christian, the favour of God upon your life has distinguished and qualified you to be the head and not the tail, to be the best and receive the best. Psalm 5:12 NASB says, “For You bless the righteous person, Lord, You surround him with favor as with a shield.” That means you’ve got the Lord’s preferential treatment! Glory to God!
In your life, be forever conscious that you’re divinely favoured. Ephesians 1:6 says He has made us accepted in the beloved. The word “accepted” comes from the Greek “charitoō,” which refers to being highly favoured. It’s the same word that the angel brought to Mary in Luke 1:28, ‘And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”’ If that angel were to come to you today, he’ll use the same expressions because it’s already written concerning you that you’re blessed and highly favoured!
This is what Paul was telling the Christians in Corinth in our opening verse of scripture when he called them sanctified. The word “sanctification” is from the Greek “hagiasmos,” and it means to be separated from the world onto God, to be distinguished in Christ. You’ve become friends with God.
Luke 2:52 says concerning the Master, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Do you know that the same is true about you? You have favour with God and with men. Therefore, in your life, welcome favours every day. Your life has been beautified with divine favours from God. Affirm this every day about yourself. Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER
Psalm 5:12 NIV
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Genesis 39:21–23
But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
Daniel 1:9
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
SPEAK
The favour of God upon my life has qualified me to be the best and receive the best. Today and always, in every place and in all that I do, God’s supernatural favour is manifested on my behalf. It opens doors and opportunities for me that can’t be humanly explained. I’m conscious of the favour factor. Hallelujah!
