What Is Favour?
Favour is divine help, and assistance God in partnership with men provides to help and assist your destiny.
In addition, Favour is when God raises men to invest their time, invest their credibility and their resources in their destiny. This for some reason is about the hardest of grace received by men.
Video: This Grace Called Favour With Apostle Joshua Selman (Koinonia Sunday Service)
Source: Koinonia Globa:
Favour is a grace that is multi-dimensional. In the hindsight, to believe favour is unmerited looks like sincere communication, but it is destructive and box one in a prism of ignorance. Favour is merited. Proverb 13:15.
Unmerited access is just one of the definitions of favour. It is just one dimension of flavour that appears to look unmerited access. That is when it has to do with salvation. The substitutionary sacrifice of Christ. Any other dimension of favour is merited.
Valid Points
- Every testimony of victory and success in the kingdom is connected to favour.
- One man can be used by God to open more than a hundred doors of opportunity for you.
Systems of Advantage that the Believers Enjoys
The major system of advantage a child of God enjoys in his favour. Exodus 3:21, Exodus 11:3
Five Keys that Activate the Grace Called Favour
1. Honour
The first key that controls favour is honour. Honour is the key to accessing favour.
What is Honour?
Honour is the discerning, honour is the celebrating and rewarding of men of their distinctive difference. Real honour starts with discernment.
Honour is one of the mysteries that when you engage it would bring you favour almost immediately.
Never enter the presence of greatness or excellence and act as if you are not aware of it. Always appreciate and celebrate greatness wherever you find yourself. However, this should not be misconstrued as human worship.
One of the greatest expressions of honour is gratitude. Ingratitude is a display of dishonour. When you show gratitude and honour an individual, it opens the window of unplanned favour from the individual which in turn opens doors for you.
2. Value
This is the second key that activates favour called grace.
What is Value?
Value is a measure of your users through your ability to solve problems and provide extraordinary solutions (or simply puts solutions).
Focus on developing yourself more than your business plan. It is good to give value but it is best to be the value yourself.
Your value as to be needed and useful within the context of a solution. Moreover, the kingdom work based on a reward system.
How do you know you’re Valuable?
1. By who is willing to pursue without restraint?
2. By the inconvenience that people can make to have access to you.
Valid Point
- When people begin to complain and give excuses for not seeing you, it’s because you’re not valuable enough.
What does it mean to be Valuable?
To have the capacity to provide solutions. Your solutions have to be needed and useful within the context of a civilisation
How do you know your Value has Gotten to its Prime?
When your audience isn’t that of ordinary men but Kings and captains of industries. When you find yourself in the palace working for Kings and Leaders it is only then you can be certain your value has gotten to the apogee of greatness.
3. Relationship (Amos 3:3)
The third key that activates this grace called favour is called relationship. There is an intelligence that has to do with managing relationships.
Unfortunately, many Christians do not understand the power of relationships. This is where respectfully unbelievers seem to have an edge over believers.
Everything multiplies based on the relationship. The relationship between the wife and husband is how the children come, a relationship between you and the holy spirit is how the anointing comes, and a relationship between you and the word is how understanding comes.
The moment God lifts you, the first thing to do with your lifting is to use it as leverage to build a relationship, because according to the law of times and seasons, it will not always be like that. Your relationship during the period of your trying time will keep you afloat.
The relationship is an investment. Don’t expect a return if you did not invest. When people do not perceive you to be advantageous to their lives and destinies, they’ll love you but will put you in a group quietly and leave you there.
The Kind of Relationship you require to obtain Favour
- Divine connectors
- Men of influence
- Gifted people
- Burden bearer
If you do not have these people in your life it will be difficult to exploit this system of advantage.
Your Primary Relationship
- Your relationship with Lord Jesus Christ
- Your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
- Your relationship with the word of God
- Your relationship with a strategic helper.
4. Prayer
Prayer is the fourth key that activates the grace called favour. The prayer which is a spiritual exercise is a potent instrument to enjoy the system of advantage that the believers enjoy
Minimize knocking on the offices of men and ask God through prayer to do the knocking for you. Only then will you receive a speedy answer to your needs?
The Bible says whatsoever ye desire, when ye pray believe that thou receiveth it and thou shall have it.
5. The Esther Anointing (Esther 2:15)
The last of the keys to exploring the grace called favour is what we call the Esther anointing.
The grace for a favour can be imparted as Hegai imparted to Esther with the anointing that made her obtain in the sight of the king and among all men in the palace, ahead of Queen Vashti and other beautiful maidens in the palace.
The anointing of Esther a common village girl made her become the Queen and she received great favour in the sight of the Queen.
The Law of Impartation
1. You must believe in God who is the source of all things.
2. You must believe in the vessel he is using.
