God’s Favour brings Prosperity
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.- Psalms 5:12
God has surrounded you with favour. You don't need to be afraid of disfavor and misfortune, for the favour of God will cause you to prosper. Therefore do not go through life thinking that you cannot make it. You will make it.
Newspaper reports that are negative is not your portion. You are protected by the one that controls all things. And the God who punished the King of Babylon for misusing his cup will also protect you because you are valuable and precious in his sight. When men had rejected you, the Lord of favour will make them change their mind to favour you. Therefore, start focusing beyond the circumstances and focus on God who can sub-due all situations.
Beloved, While you give God first place, he will do unusual things in your life. You are connected to suppliers and creativity. God does not want people to take the place of God in your life and that is why famine is not your portion for God will satisfy you. What the world calls famine, you call satisfaction. David never called Goliath a giant, but he called him an uncircumcised philistine. So don't call it what others are calling it. Start believing Him even in your tests and troubles. The help of man is failing at this hour and God wants to take credit for whatever He is doing in your life.
As light shines brighter than darkness, God's glory is more obvious in adversities and trials. When people are down to nothing, God is up to something. You should allow him to have his ways for his thoughts are greater than ours.
God will direct your step to the very top. He will vindicate you. Demons do not want you to manifest the blessing. That is why they are fighting you. There are somethings prayer does not take away. Some doors have to close for others to open, so stop complaining about difficult moments. You must develop character in these tough times.
Prayer: The joy of the Lord is my strength; the lord is the strength of my life and the peace of God which passeth all understanding keeps my hearth and my mind through Christ Jesus. God is on my side, God is in me now, who can be against me? For he has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. Therefore I’m a partaker of divine nature.
