Give you Tithes and Offerings to be richly Blessed and for Expansion of God's Work
In this study, I will be revealing ten factors that can activate divine favour
in a man’s life. I must however let you know that the underlying factor that
covers all the factors we will be talking about in this study is the
consciousness of God’s presence. Anything that is done outside this
consciousness is carnal and has no reward. We have been blessed by God with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Eph 1:3. Although this
blessing is there already, it can only operate in the consciousness of God’s
presence. Consciousness of God’s presence is what creates the right climatology
for being blessed. Everything God created thrives in its given ecology. Outside
the pre-ordered geography or ecology, the organism will struggle and may even
die without reaching its full potential. Our ecology as sons of God is heavenly
places. We thrive when we dwell perpetually in heavenly places. Heaven is not a
geographic location, but is a place where God dwells. The presence of God is
thus the factor that gives heaven its name. Those that will enjoy divine favour
are those that are sitted together with Christ in the heavenly places. Until
your mind begins to picture heaven at all time, you are sitted outside the
heavenly and so will still not enjoy divine favour. Form the presence of God
there is fullness of joy, at His right hand are pleasures for evermore. You
enjoy this fullness of joy and perpetual pleasures by favour, and the primary
qualification for this divine favour is dwelling constantly in the
consciousness of God’s presence.
In this volume of the Divine Intimacy bulletin, we will take a look at five
factors that activate favour in a man’s life, and in next week’s issue we will
take the concluding five factors.
SALVATION This is the primary factor that can activate favour. Salvation is
deliverance from sin and the consequences of sin through Jesus Christ’s death
on the cross. It is a free gift to all of mankind and anyone who accepts this
gift becomes born again and becomes transformed from the kingdom of
darkness into the kingdom of light. The Bible says in 2Cor. 5:17: Therefore if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are becomes new. The man that is saved thus becomes a brand new man.
His past is forgotten and he begins a brand new life right from the day of his
salvation. Once you become born again, favour automatically rests on you.
Favour is a birthright of children of the kingdom and so your acceptance of
salvation is also an acceptance of favour.
Build A Covenant Place of Worship For that God that Delivered you from those Problems
Acts 2:41, 47: Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Praising God,
and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily
such as should be saved.
We see in the scripture above that those who believed the gospel and became
saved found favour with all people. You begin to enjoy favour from both men and
women when you accept God’s free offer of salvation, If you want to begin to
enjoy favour from God and from man, then you must take this all important step
today. Salvation attracts favour.
MERCY: Mercy is compassion, kindness or forgiveness shown especially to
somebody a person has power over. When you are merciful i.e. show mercy
to people, favour will locate you. You will enjoy favour from men also enjoy
divine favour. When you pardon a guilty person, you have shown mercy and have
qualified yourself for favour.
Prov. 3:34: Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine head: So shalt thou find favour and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.
When you are merciless and heartless, you will not find favour. Being merciful
helps you to find favour even when others cannot find it.
TRUTH: Truth is living a life of honesty and sincerity. Favour is attracted to
those that are always truthful. When you stand for the truth at all time, the
truth will certainly set you free at the end. It may look like you are in
trouble at the beginning, but before the end of the episode, favour will speak
out on your behalf. Telling the truth at all times activates both human and
divine favour in your life.
Prov. 3:3-4: Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine head: So shalt thou find favour and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.
Make up your mind to always be truthful. Your resolve should be that you would
rather die telling the truth than become caught up in a web of lies and deceit.
The devil is the father of all liars and all liars shall have their part in the
lake of fire. You speak truth always, you will certainly live a life of
favour.
GOODNESS This is the quality of being good. It is the quality of having or
showing a kind and generous disposition. Being good to people is yet another
factor that can activate favour. When you are good, you find favour everywhere
you go, even in the most unlikely quarters. People will favour you even if you
don’t have a personal relationship with them.
Prov. 11:21: He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he
that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
Your goodness is a currency for procuring favour. When you are good to people
around you, favour will be handed over to you.
Prov. 12:2: A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked
devices will he condemn.
Sow Your Special Seed of Faith for Miracles you want From God in Your life
When you are in the habit of showing goodness to everyone around you, even to
those who don’t deserve it, then you will be qualified for favour that comes
from God.
CORRECT MARRIAGE: The bible says in Prov. 18:22: Whoso findeth a wife findeth a
good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
As long as a person is unmarried, there is a limit to what he can achieve in
life. He will certainly not get to his full potential. God that Instituted
marriage in the Garden of Eden did so because He realized that it was not good
for man to be alone Gen. 2:18. Woman was therefore made to complement man’s
effort. Finding and marrying the right partner is therefore a ticket to living
a life of favour. Right from the day the two people become one, God smiles on
them and they begin to achieve results with minimal effort.

You must take note however that not all marriages are correct ones. If God does
not sanction your marriage, then you will be making terrible mistakes by going
into it. Such a marriage will end in bitterness and regret no matter how
appealing it looks at the beginning. When you are married to someone who is not
a carrier of favour, you will be dis-favoured. May you not step into a
matrimonial relationship that will separate you from the favour of the Lord.
