The word for today is - Favor !

Good morning,
The word for today is -  Favor !
 
What exactly is favor? Well, favor is defined as excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment: to treat some people with favor. Also,favor means to give special regard to; to treat with goodwill; to show exceptional kindness to someone. Read Esther 2;17; Esther received royal favor above all the other virgins. Sometimes, it means to show extra kindness in comparison to the treatment of others; that is, preferential treatment.God's favor is that God will shut every door that need to be shut in our life and open doors that are shut. How many of us have longed for a miracle, something supernatural, I would say almost every soul on this planet even the ones who don't know Jesus. Do you know that we as God's children have God looking out for us at all times? Some say that, "Favor aint fair." Other believers speak of themselves as being highly favored by God, some even pray for the favor of God during certain troubles and trials in their lives. The reality is, God's favor is automatic when we do exactly what he requires of us. Secondly, it is the favor of God that sustains and maintains us during our times of affliction prior to our blessings.The bible tells us that when God blessed them (Adam and Eve) they became authorized or empowered to do five things that they could not do prior to the blessings, and they were: To be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue and finally to have dominion, Read Genesis 1:28. As an added fact, the bible further states that the blessings of the Lord makes one rich or brings increase to him or her and he adds no sorrow to it .Heavenly Father, I thank you that you are God and God alone. It is because of your sovereignty that no one is qualified to question the favor you've bestowed upon us. I thank you for your favor that is the evidence of the pending blessings that you've promised us.Thank you!  It is my prayer Lord, that the spirit of ungratefulness and the lack of unthankfulness be destroyed and instantly be replaced with a spirit of thanksgiving and appreciation towards your many blessings for us. Thank you for your word. Amen !
