-When the scripture talks about the hand of God, what does it mean? The hand of God represents God’s active power, presence and authority.

– When someone says, “the hand of God came upon me,” he may be trying to say the power of God came upon him.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

What is inside these waves of favour for mountainites? (continued)
10. Supernatural acceleration (Is 60:17, 22)
• It drastically reduces time and effort required to achieve goals.

Why is divine favour  released upon a person’s life?

• Wherever you see favour in the Bible, it is connected to an assignment e.g Joseph, Esther, Jesus

• God sets the time and announces it to you if you can hear it.
