Some blessings of favor
1. Having the privilege to serve God by working for Him, building for Him or contributing to the growth and advancement of God's kingdom here on earth. This also includes building God’s house or contributing to the building as it is a unique privilege.
Acts 7:46 “David found favor with God and asked for the privilege of building a permanent Temple for the God of Jacob.
May God grant you the privilege of building for Him.
May you be a partaker of the blessings of building His house and kingdom.
May God favor you and empower you with the resources to build for Him in the name of Jesus.
2. Favor brings you into a position to be singled out to be lifted, blessed, and favorably positioned by the powers that be, positions you to receive generous gifts that will change your life for good and make you a friend of the wealthy.
Proverbs 19:6 Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man, And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts.
May you have favor that will:
- single out to be lifted and blessed,
- favorably position you by the powers that be
- position you to receive generous gifts that will change your life for good, and
- make you a friend of the wealthy in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. Favor brings about growth in good things and brings exceptional blessings from God and people.
Luke 2:52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
May you grow in wisdom and in favor with God and people in the name of Jesus.
4. God's favor lasts for a lifetime.
Psalm 30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.
May you never run out of favor in the name of Jesus.
May the favor you need for each day and for every moment be abundantly supplied to you and your family in the name of Jesus.
5. God makes you secure, protected, and established like a strong mountain that cannot be moved or shaken by evil adversaries and attackers who uproot the destinies of men.
Psalm 30:7a LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
God will add strength to your beauty and make you strong as a mountain. So shall it be for you and yours in the name of Jesus.
Adversaries and attackers will not prevail against you in the name of Jesus.
For anyone whose destiny has been uprooted by evil forces, your destiny is recovered to you and replanted in the Rock of Christ, the precious cornerstone, a sure foundation for prosperity and flourishing in the name of Jesus.
6. Favor turns adversaries to friends, removes the threat of attacks against your life, puts an end to fear and running from the negative consequences of your actions, and blesses you so much that you will be able to give so much without feeling it.
Genesis 33:10 But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
May those who want to hurt you become your friends and begin to favor you, help and bless you in the name of Jesus.
7. Favor of God draws you closer to God, allows God to teach you His ways, grants you understanding and gives you grace and favour before God, and by extension, men.
In Exodus 33:18, the Bible says: Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways so that I may know You [becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with You, recognizing and understanding Your ways more clearly] and that I may find grace and favor in Your sight. And consider also, that this nation is Your people.”
May the favor of God draw you closer to Him, teach you God’s ways and grant you understanding, grace and favor in the name of Jesus.
8. Favor of God delivers a transfer of wealth into your hands. In Exodus 12:36, the Bible states:
The LORD caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!
May God give you the favor that transfers wealth into your hands in Jesus’ name.
9. Favor brings about remembrance for good. It makes God to come to your aid to save you, makes you to enjoy prosperity and brings joy to your nation.
In Psalm 106:4-5, the Bible declares:
4Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, 5that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
May God remember you and your family for good in Jesus’ name.
May God always come to your aid to save you.
May you enjoy the prosperity that only God can bring in the name of Jesus.
May your nation be peaceful and full of joy in the name of Jesus.
