The Divine Favor: Why It Matters and How to Walk in It
While God shows no partiality in salvation (Acts 10:34), Scripture reveals He does pour out special favor on those whose hearts are fully surrendered to Him. This divine favor brings supernatural enablement for fulfilling God’s purposes.
The Nature of God’s Favor
- Not favoritism – Available to all who meet God’s conditions (2 Chronicles 16:9)
- More than salvation – Includes supernatural empowerment for service
- Evident in biblical lives – Joseph, David, Esther all walked in unusual favor
Why We Need God’s Favor
- For divine protection in difficult seasons (Psalm 5:12)
- To accomplish impossible assignments (Genesis 39:21)
- To experience God’s best blessings (Proverbs 8:35)
How to Receive God’s Favor
- By faith – Believe you have received (Mark 11:24)
- Through surrender – Fully yield your heart to God (James 4:6)
- In obedience – Faithful stewardship releases more favor (Matthew 25:21)
- With persistence – Like Abraham who believed against hope (Romans 4:18)
Maintaining God’s Favor
- Walk in humility before God and others
- Stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading
- Remain faithful in small assignments
Positioning Yourself for Greater Favor
As with Abraham, God’s favor comes when we trust His promises despite impossible circumstances. When we align our hearts with His purposes, we position ourselves to experience the fullness of His divine favor in our lives.
