“And JESUS increased in wisdom and stature, and in FAVOUR with GOD and Man. “- Luke 2:52, KJV.
Life is full of competitions. There are limited resources that may not be enough or go round several people that may desire them. The same applies to Positions/ Job opportunities, Contracts and Admissions into Basic and Higher Educational Institutions that several interested people may be jostling for.
In addition to qualifications and meeting other criteria to attain any of the above, the deciding factor is to have FAVOUR before GOD and Man.
This was demonstrated in the Life and the Ministries of our LORD JESUS CHRIST right from the time of birth as revealed in the Scripture quoted above.
The difference between the Life of a successful man and another fellow that may still be struggling to make ends meet and unable to meet up with certain basics of life is favour before GOD and Man.
Favour is the currency that all Life endeavours respond to including Marriage. “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD” – Prov. 18:22, KJV
Haven therefore understood this Concept and Principle on which the Life of any person or group of people operates, let us key in ourselves into it and maximize its potentials/ powers to our full advantage.
When we pray for the full manifestations of Favour before GOD and Man in our Lives, Ministries, Families, Communities and even in our Nation, we shall begin to live our Lives to the fullest , prosper and even flourish both at our micro and macro levels.
And Grace to do so, may GOD bestow it upon us in JESUS Name.
