Favour

I declare that my Father has accepted me in ChristJesus, the Beloved. Because I am in Christ, I am highly favoured. Like Jesus,I am His beloved son, and He is well pleased with me. I have received the graceof God and so, I am favoured. In Christ, I am God’s elect: His specialfavoured child. The Father loves me as much as He loves Christ Jesus, my bigBrother. The Father’s favour constantly surrounds me as ashield from sunrise to sunset. The force of His favour attracts all thatpertain to life and godliness to me. It repels whatever is not part of theblessing far away from me. His favour has separated me from the curse. My favour with God translates into favour with men.I have favour with men that matter. The hearts of kings and men of influencewhom God has ordained to play a part of my purpose are in His hands, and Heturns their hearts just to favour me. God gives those with whom I have to deal,respect and attention for me. They are captivated by His Spirit and intoxicatedby His instructions. I am pleasing to God; my ways are pleasing to Him.Therefore, He makes even my enemies be at peace with me. There’s no limit to whommy Father can use. So, even those who may not like me are used as instrumentsand channels of God’s goodness in my life. I am a son of God and I am led by the Spirit ofGod. My steps are ordered of the Lord and He takes delight in my ways.Therefore, I am always in the right place and at the right time. I am alwayswhere limitless possibilities take place, and I recognize them. I am alwaysfound where opportunity and preparation collide. Through the favour of God, doors openbefore me. His favour causes me to succeed where others have failed. God isunapologetically biased in my favour. Therefore, I depend upon the grace and favour of God in all Ido. I choose not to lean on my own understanding. I acknowledge that the raceis not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, norriches to men of understanding, nor favour to men of skill; but time and chancehappen to them all. I am always where time and chance happen to me. I rest inHis favour upon me. I declare that I enjoy abundant, strategic favourwith God and find good understanding in my dealings with men. With each passingday, I experience increasing measures of favour with God and with men. Thank You Father for the waves of Your favourare crashing all over me and they are carrying me to Your destination for me. Hallelujah!

INFLUENCE YOUR TOMORROW WITH YOUR SEED 26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”Mark 4:26-29 Your seed is so powerful that it can influence your tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if the government in your country is corrupt and the officials squander and steal all the money in the coffers, it shouldn’t bother your finances, because you have an advantage. You know how to influence your tomorrow with your seed. If any of them decides to accumulate wealth till they burst with stolen wealth, God will orchestrate things in your direction. The decisions of those in the government should not permanently affect you adversely, if you are a sower. How then does your seed influence your tomorrow? In some cases, like that of the Shunammite woman, God may tell you ahead of time what tomorrow will be, so you can be well positioned and plan ahead of time. At other times, God may not bother telling you, He will just orchestrate things in your favour. He will just let you sleep so you don’t start bothering about tomorrow. Just like the Scripture says you will just scatter your seed on good ground and go to sleep, and the seed will do what it has been pre-programmed to do (Mark 4:26-27). It will yield fruit, which will be waiting for you in your tomorrow. Hallelujah. I can influence my tomorrow with my seed. Confession: I know how to influence my tomorrow with my seeds. The seeds I am sowing today give me advantage over my tomorrow and they yield abundant harvest of fruits waiting for me in my future!

THE FORCE OF YOUR SEED 1 Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.”2 Kings 8:1 Do you know who this woman is? She is the Shunammite woman. She is “the aggressive giver” who sowed habitually, by perception, and progressively and into the life of Elisha, the man of God. When she was not expecting a son, God gave her one. When the son died, God raised him back to life using the man of God, Elisha. However, God was not through with her still. Her aggressive seed was still speaking on her behalf. When there was going to be a famine in the land, God told Elisha to tell this woman what was going to happen. The force of her seed was the influence she had over her future. Force means strength, power, energy, might, impact, weight, and impetus. Have you heard statements like: “Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring?” That is half-truth. Half-truths are dangerous. The Scripture says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). This verse is saying that whatever a man sows today, that is the same he shall reap tomorrow. You may not know tomorrow, but you can begin to influence your tomorrow by your seed. Your today was determined by the choices, habits and actions of yesterday. Similarly, your tomorrow can be created by your choices, habits and actions of today. I have known poverty. We were so poor that the poor called us poor. That situation is changing for the better and it will continue to change and it can only get better because I understand the force of the seed. I understand that to make it have its full course, I should sow my seed habitually and progressively and if I do that, I may not know the day to day specifications of my tomorrow – but I can certainly be sure that my tomorrow is blessed and it is really good. Confession: I understand the strength of the seed I sow today and the power it wields over my future. I sow my seed habitually and I am certain that my tomorrow is blessed.

PERMANENT PRODUCTIVITY 7 [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.Jeremiah 17:7-8 (AMP) The tree just described remains green because it retains its fruit bearing ability all year round, whether there’s heat or drought; whether the season is good or bad, it remains green. As long as it remains green there is always the possibility of fruit coming out. The leaf stays green because the fruit bearing ability is not touched. Today, there might not be a fruit in your life but because you are evergreen, tomorrow, that will change. You may have been trusting God for something, but your expectation is not matching the season you find yourself in. You have become quite anxious in drought. Remember that through meditation the tree that you saw was an evergreen tree. It was a tree whose leaves remained green always. That means, tomorrow, the situation can change. If you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, tomorrow you may miss your period and discover you are pregnant. If you believe God for a breakthrough in your business, tomorrow, that contract could walk in through your door. It can happen any day, so you are relaxed; and you’re not anxious; neither does the drought bother you because your permanent productivity is guaranteed. Confession: In the season of drought I do not become anxious. I am evergreen and ever ready to bring forth fruit.

TRANSPLANTED AND EVERGREEN 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.Psalm 1:3 The word “planted” also means transplanted. In a certain place, if irrigation fails, the trees there are dug up and relocated to a more conducive environment, they are said to have been transplanted. The psalmist was inspired to say that you shall be like a tree transplanted if necessary to make the location conducive. There’re some Christians who may have belonged to churches where they sowed certain seeds and their trees were growing, but the environment was no longer conducive. This is either because the church deviated from the Word of God, or the pastor began to manipulate, seduce and control the members to the point, where they had to leave and relocate to another church. If you’re that kind of person, your seeds are not dead. Just keep on meditating on the Word day and night. As you do so, you are transplanting those seeds and sacrifices that you made out of a sincere heart. The most thrilling and exciting thing about this tree is not even that the tree will bring forth fruit. It is that the leaves of the tree will not wither! We’re talking about an evergreen tree. It means that meditation guarantees you an evergreen tree. The word evergreen means to always have fruit-bearing ability. Whether the fruit is presently on the tree or not is not the issue. With an evergreen tree, there is no telling when the fruit will pop out. With a tree that is affected by seasons, you may look at the tree and you know it won’t produce fruit till after a certain time. An evergreen tree is a tree that remains green forever. Its leaves will neither wither, nor fade. That is to say you will not be rich today and poor tomorrow; healthy today and sick tomorrow; have success today and failure tomorrow. Your leaves will not fade. Your leaves will not fall to the ground. Your leaves will not turn brown, and be destroyed. The tree that meditation gives birth to is an evergreen tree. Confession: I am an evergreen tree. I always have fruit-bearing ability. TCM Bible Reading Plan2 Kings 8:1-9:13, Acts 16:16-40Psalm 143:1-12, Proverbs 17:26
