DIVINE FAVOUR - A KEY TO AUTHORITY AND INFLUENCE

SCRIPTURE: For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. – Psalms 5:12
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Divine favour gives a person access to the high places of life.
 
From our anchor scripture, it can be clearly seen that divine favour is the birthright of the righteous. If you are a child of God, you do not need to beg for favour, you are to exist as a mobile favour. 
 
Why, then, do you need favour as a child of God?
 
Favour places one in authority and influence. 
 
Divine favour gives people access to the high places and palaces of the earth. Divine Favour was at work in the life of Joseph in the house of Potiphar who made him the overseer of his house. God also gave Joseph favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison and he was placed in authority by virtue of Divine favour.
 
Divine favour was equally behind the enthronement of Queen Esther (Esther 2:15-17). The King favoured her and made her the queen because divine favour was at work in her life.
 
When Divine favour is on a person’s life, it delivers him from the pit and takes him to the top. Divine favour gives a person access to the high places of life.
 
Remember this: Divine favour gives a person access to the high places of life.
