Bible Reading: 2 Kings 25: 27-30
Memory Verse: Evil-Merodach was kind to Jehoiachin and honored him more than any of the other kings held prisoner there. 2 Kings 25:28 (CEV)
It is reported that in February 1961, the late Godson Linsay was in Mount Olives in Israel and God said to him, “Go to Africa and pick a man called Benson Idahosa, whom he had never met, and take him with you to America.” From Mount Olives in Israel to London and from London to Lagos, Nigeria and he asked for a missionary called Elton. He said God woke me up and said: Go look for a man called Benson Idahosa.
They sort for him and the next day they found him. He said to him, “God told me on Mount Olives two days ago to take you with me to America and bring you back to do the work He sent you to do. This is the definition of FAVOUR! That man took the late archbishop to America and sponsored everything. He said to him, “Benson, anything you buy in any store in America, send the receipt to my office and they will give you the money back.” FAVOUR!
The day you will realize that it is not your skill, it is not your might, it is not your power, but your God, your prayer will change.
Dear brethren, there are depths in the school of favour. If all you do is all you deserve, favour is not at work in your life. It is favour that qualifies the unqualified. It is favour that moves a man from a beggar to the status of a palace prince after the order of Mephiboseth. It is favour that singles a man/woman out of the multitudes after the order of Mary the mother of Jesus. She was not the only teenage virgin after all. It is favour that singles a man from the least of the tribe of Israel and makes him a king after the order of Saul. It is favour that restores a person back to his original glory after the order of king Jehoiachin.
It is favour that makes the last become the first after the order of Joseph. It is favour that turns a convicted prisoner to a palace king and a preserver of generations to come after the order of Joseph. It is favour that brings healing to a man’s doorstep after the order of Blind Bartimaeus. MAY THE FAVOUR OF GOD GIVE YOU BOTH WHAT MONEY CAN BUY AND WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY, IN JESUS NAME.
Quote: Favour is the flavour of destiny.
Prophetic Decree: May God embarrass you with an exclusive Oil of favour in the journey of life, in Jesus name.
