SELECTED FOR DIVINE FAVOUR


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: SELECTED FOR DIVINE FAVOUR

Divine favor does not belong to all but only to the elect, and as a child of the Most High God you are legally in line for an outpouring of divine favor and promotion that is coming your way. But you must first apply these biblical principles to receive it.

For example, divine favor rested on the life of Abraham, yet none of his family experienced it. His father, Terah, and all his family that stayed in Haran did not know God’s favor (Genesis 11). Abraham was blessed and favored because he was chosen (Genesis 12:1-3).

And that favor was seen repeatedly in Abraham’s life. There are so many examples in Scripture. When he went down to Egypt, he had favor with the pharaoh (Genesis 12). When he fought against the forces that captured his nephew Lot (Genesis 14), Abraham was given divine favor and victory.

Divine favor rested on his son Isaac, but Isaac’s half-brother Ishmael did not know the same favor. Isaac was blessed beyond measure during one of the worst famines of his day. Even though he sowed seed during drought, he received a hundredfold return (Genesis 26:12).

Think about it—he received a hundredfold return in the midst of famine, even though those around him remained in drought! Now that is real favor.
And everywhere Isaac turned he prospered, so much so that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, said to Isaac:

“Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we” (Genesis 26:16).

LET US PRAY
HEAVENLY FATHER IN THIS NEW MONTH SELECT US FOR YOUR UNIQUE DIVINE FAVOUR IN JESUS NAME
