God's Exisiting Promise Over Your Life Is Spearheaded By The Prayers From Long Ago

At the start of every year we make plans about what we want to do and what we want to accomplish but in order to do anything great, we need God's Favor. A christian is not supposed to talk about "Luck." Luck implies randomness and meaninglessness but we who believe in God do not believe in Luck. We operate by Favor. Your life is under the supervision and authority of the Holy Spirit. The blessings of God upon your life are a testament to God's Favor. Favor is not something you can earn, yet it is what everyone of us needs. Here are 4 Biblical Steps to access the favor of God each and every day.

** 1. You Already Have God’s Favor

Many Christians believe they have to somehow earn the favor of God, but the truth is, we already have His favor. God saved us because of His favor toward us.

Ephesians 2:8 tells us, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God” (NKJV). Simply put, grace is favor. God’s favor is the power that changes things for us. First and foremost, you and I are saved by His favor, and I’m not just talking about going to heaven when we die. To be saved means to be delivered, protected, preserved, healed and made whole. God’s favor covers every area of our lives!

** 2. You Receive God’s Favor by Faith

Now you may be thinking, Reverend Richards, I know a lot of believers who don’t enjoy the kind of favor you’re talking about. Their lives are full of tragedy and disappointment. Why doesn’t God surround them with favor?

God does surround them with favor. They just don’t know it, so they can’t take advantage of what He has given them. You see, according to 2 Peter 1:2, God’s grace is multiplied to us through knowledge. The first thing you have to do before you can receive the benefits of God’s favor is to know they are yours. Then, you have to receive them by faith. Remember Ephesians 2:8, “God saved you by his grace….” God’s favor provides every possible blessing and goodness He has to give, starting with being saved. Your part is faith—to believe and receive all He has given.

** 3. God Is Searching for Someone to Bless With His Favor

Sadly, many times we are slow to receive God’s favor. We think we’re waiting on Him when He’s actually waiting on us to receive. You see, God has already done everything it takes for you and me to be fully cared for while we’re living here on earth. He has provided every blessing—health, prosperity, peace of mind, joy, deliverance from sin and everything that pertains to our good life (2 Peter 1:3). Then He tops it all off with life in heaven when we leave this earth! It’s all part of His favor. All we have to do is stay ready to receive.

Actually, you can’t get away from God’s favor. 2nd Chronicles 16:9 tells us, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…” . Perfect doesn’t refer to someone who never makes a mistake. It means someone who is loyal, devoted and faithful. This kind of heart is always ready to receive the good things His grace provides. God is always SEEKING WAYS TO BLESS YOU.

** 4. You Must Release Your Faith for God’s Favor

God’s favor is yours, but there are a couple of things you must do to fully enjoy its benefits. First, you must receive God’s favor like every other spiritual promise—by faith. Then you must release your faith.

That’s what the bible says about Abraham, the father of our faith. The circumstances looked hopeless when God promised Adraham he would be the father of many nations. His age. Sarah’s lifelong barrenness. How could it be? They received God’s promise by faith and God’s favor. Receiving God’s favor by faith is a simple act on our part. Get into God’s Word. Put the Word into your heart and speak it out your mouth. Believe it and act on it. Receive it!
