TOPIC: FAVOUR FROM GOD
BIBLE TEXT: JOB 33:24-26
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
KEY VERSE: “He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness”(JOB 33:26).
MESSAGE
The dictionary defines favour as, “a friendly regard shown towards another especially by a superior.” Another word for favour is kindness. All of God’s creation, look up to Him, daily, for His favour. God is greater than all and He is the only one who can completely meet all the needs of His Creatures. Favour, however, only comes to those who ask for it. It exists from friend to friend, parents to children or from the king to his subjects. Favour can be received only by those who ask and deserve it. We ask favour from God through prayer. Prayer is a personal request from His children to a loving Father.
Our text explains that God’s favour is an offshoot of His grace towards His people. God’s favour brings us deliverance from hell, renewal and refreshing. The prayer of the righteous child will certainly draw God’s favour to all areas of his or her life and he/she will always appear before God with joy of answered prayers. You should be encouraged to pray knowing that God will surely answer your prayers. But remember as you pray, the word of the Psalmist, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18). Therefore, pray and ask from a pure and holy heart.
PRAYER: Lord I ask for Your favour in every area of my life.
FURTHER READING: Psalm 119:56-58
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
