Daily Quote: If you are favored, then you are the favorite – Michael Gyekye

Bible in One year: Genesis 1:1-2:25 Matthew 1:1-2:12 Psalm 1:1-6 Proverbs 1:1-6

There is a secret that makes a giant out of the ordinary. In fact, there is a journey of sweat-less accomplishments when your efforts and who you are doesn’t count. There is a land of divine impossibilities made possible, where not anyone can get there but except the favored. The favored is the preferred among many. There were many at the Pool of Bethsaida but except one who was healed, there were many dead men who were even few minutes dead but none was raised back to life except Lazarus. Favor separates you for divine turn around. Keep yourself in place because you are next. It is because of you that the Lord has ordained this program. Follow it throughout and pray all the prayers involved if possible and I tell you, you are next.

We are running a hot race. It is a race not for the swift nor the strong but for the favored. Peter toiled all night but yet there was nothing. This is what we have been taught to do. Toil and toil; that is hat the system demands if you want to succeed. So Peter and his friends and family followed the norm. There were many fishermen there but none did the Lord Jesus entered than the boat of Simon Peter. After, Jesus told him to cast it to the deep and the turnaround came. The one who had none now has many. Favor turns your impossibilities possible. It turns Mr. Nobody to somebody.

Now, what is favor? According to Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, favor means gaining approval, acceptance, or special benefits or blessings. It is an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual. It is a selection among many for good works. It is a likability where no one can be liked. It is goodness where there is no good in you. God’s favor is the ultimate that overrides any circumstances that man face. Human approval can be gained through faithful and effective service but what we enjoy from God has no merits.

Joseph enjoyed the favor of Potiphar as he wisely administered Potiphar's estate, though ultimately this recognition came through God's blessing (Genesis 39:4 Genesis 39:21). Ruth found favor in the eyes of the wealthy Boaz because of her kindness to her mother-in-law, Naomi (Ruth 2:2 Ruth 2:10 Ruth 2:13). Although David was badly out of favor with Saul, even the Philistines realized how quickly David could have regained that favor through his military skill (1 Sam 29:4). A king's favor brought many benefits to the recipient (Prov. 16:15). Put on your seat belt, this is just the beginning – #dayone30daysoffavo
