Evidence of Favor

How do you know you are walking in God's FAVOR? Read Genesis. Genesis is replete with situations that point to God's favor.

God said when we have his favor, we do not need anything else. Favor will open doors that no man can close. When you have the favor of God:
   
1. Gen. 39:22           You have the confidence of your superiors.
2. Gen. 39:23           Your work prospers.
3. Gen. 39:23           You are given special authority.
4. Gen. 40:5             You have discernment.  
5. Gen. 40:8             You recognize when God is working and reverence it.
6. Gen. 4012            You operate in wisdom.
7. Gen. 40:20-23      You speak words of truth.

It's been said, "Favor ain't fair, but it's in the Book." What does this phrase mean. It can be interpreted to mean that situations where favor is granted may seem unfair to others; however, God has allowed you to receive blessings that someone else may think he or she deserves.

Favor does not mean you deserve what you received. FAVOR indicates that God saw fit to allow you the opportunity to walk in a place that had already been reserved for you (for God's purpose). God knows the end from the beginning; therefore, God knew yesterday what next year would hold for your life. Since God's favor is lifelong. How do you keep it? You stay in a position of favor with God by walking in obedience to God's will for your life. How do you know God's will? Seek it out through fasting, prayer, and study of God's Word. God will reveal what you are to do with your life as you surrender to God's way and not your own way of doing things. 

Do What You Do!
