Why is divine favour released upon a person's life? [Part 2]
1. Favour is connected to your assignment (Ex 3:21, Lk 1:30, 2:52)
• The favour of God comes upon you for an assignment.
• Wherever you see favour in the Bible, it is connected to an assignment e.g Joseph, Esther, Jesus.
• If you do not discover your kingdom assignment, you may not experience favour.
2. Favour is connected to the set time (Ps 102:13, 31:10, 15, Ex 11:2-3, 21, 12:35, 38, Est 5:2, Is 49:8, 60:10, 55:91 Sam 17:17-23)
• God sets the time and announces it to you if you can hear it.
• A set time is like labour. It is a window which needs to be taken advantage of while it is open, it is not forever.
• A set time is short, if you miss it, you have missed that cycle.
• You don’t set the time when God should favour you, you discern it and align yourself with it.
• Humble yourself to know that your times are in God’s hands.
• Make sure you are not absent from where God is, move with Him.
• Favour is not an extended period according to your wishes.
• Those who are waiting for perfect conditions will never walk with God.
• The time that the Israelites were instructed to collect gold and silver from the Egyptians was not convenient in the natural.
• The favour the children of Israel was only for a short window.
• A non-mountainite can come to this place, hear a few things and become a partaker of the waves of favour in this season, while you as a mountainite get left out (Ex 12:38).
3. Favour is connected to righteousness (divine alignment) (Ps 5:12, Mat 18:21-35)
• Righteousness is being in correct alignment with God.
• If you don’t show mercy, you don’t qualify for God’s mercy.
• It is mercy that moves us to do something about somebody’s situation. That mercy is what is called favour.
• If you cannot show mercy, don’t expect mercy from God.
• If someone is looking for a job and you’re in a position to employ them, how can you demand they pay you or sleep with you in exchange for that job?
• We should teach our children to extend acts of mercy to others.
• Children will practice acts of kindness they saw their parents do.
• Whatever you show to others is your seed that you will reap.
4. Favour is connected to wisdom and understanding (Pr 8:35, 13:15, 14:35)
• When you understand, you position yourself for favour.
• Wisdom naturally attracts favour.
