How to Experience God’s Favor

“May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.” (Psalm 90:17)

Our relationship with God through Christ means LIFE, FAVOR, and REWARD!

We all want to experience a full and meaningful life to enjoy in this world. Scripture tells us we can experience the favor of God if we establish the right kind of relationship with him. The favor of God is available to us and brings us rewards.

You would think the world would be pounding the path to the door of one who promises such things. For those of us who practice Kingdom of God (and who have become yield active converterlators, converting our perishable time, talents, and treasures to imperishable values), we have discovered this great secret of the kingdom. We have found life, favor, and reward already in this world. Furthermore, we are anticipating much more in the life to come.

Therefore, we pray God’s favor to rest on us. Power belongs to God. He is the one who can change circumstances, open doors, protect us from harm, and deliver us from the evils of this world. He can establish the work of our hands.

We should continually ask for the favor of God to rest on us. Doing so is a checkpoint for us to make sure we are conforming to his will. He will favor and bless the ones who are cultivating their relationship with him.

If we are not consuming his Word and obeying him, then how can we ask for God’s favor and blessing? If we do not seek his favor, we risk falling into the error of those who, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

We want the Lord to bless and establish the works of our hands so our lives will truly echo into eternity. He is the one who prompts us to work for the kingdom and who empowers us to work for him. May we be successful in finding and experiencing the favor of the Lord, both in this world and for all of eternity.

Today, ask yourself:

Am I asking for the favor of God on my daily activities? Am I asking God to grant me success in what he has directed me to do for him today?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
