Beloved Saints of God,

When we receive the FAVOUR of God, it is important for us to know the reason for it in order to respond to God in FAITH. He will bring us into the fullness of our call with His FAVOUR because He has a mission for us. Without His kindness, we cannot fulfill the assignment He has given to us. We may be trying to do something God has not favored us to do:

Is there a “brick wall” that will not move?
Have we prayed in the Spirit with all kinds of prayer?
Is the timing of the Lord right for this task?
Have we sought the counsel of our pastors or leaders?
Are we sure we have a word from the Lord concerning this task or could it be a desire of our own?

God gives favour so that His assignments can be accomplished. Doors previously closed will open. Provisions and resources for the task are suddenly available. God will move the hearts of people to want to assist you in your God-given work. Favour rests upon you to be successful in your calling from God. Without God’s favour, our best efforts will not succeed. Let the Lord direct you as you grow in your calling. One of the ways He directs is that He empowers you with His “enabling grace” to be successful. As success comes your way, you will realize that it is not a result of your talented abilities. By leaning on God, He will cause us to triumph in every situation – Zechariah 4:6, “…Not by might nor by power, but My Spirit…” He alone receives all glory and honor!

Allow the Lord to redeem the time in our lives. Even though we may have taken some wrong paths or decisions, God knows how to get us back on His tracks. Never under estimate the power of God’s FAVOUR to rest on us by establishing the works of our hands (Psalm 90:17). Let Him rekindle the call He has for our lives. May we be a people who not only hear the call of the Lord but also respond as did the prophet Isaiah –

“Also, I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send. And who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me‘” (Isaiah 6:8).

EVERY TIME WE BRING ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOMEONE, WE RELEASE DIVINE FAVOUR.

FAVOUR IS A TOOL GIVEN BY GOD TO HELP US FULFILL OUR CALLING.

Shalom in Jesus’ love,
Pastor Brian Chua
