HE’S CHOSEN TO FAVOUR YOU – Pastor Chris
And God Said…I Will Be Gracious To Whom I Will Be Gracious, And Will Show Mercy And Loving-Kindness On Whom I Will Show Mercy And Loving-Kindness (Exodus 33:19 AMPC).
Isn’t the Lord wonderful? When He chooses to bless and favour you, there’s nothing anybody can do about it. David recognised this and said, “Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel”(1 Chronicles 28:4).
The Lord chose David above all his family members, yet David had nothing to do with it. He wasn’t the first son, neither was he the second, but the Lord loved him and chose him. God hasn’t changed; He still chooses to favour people today, and He’s chosen to favour you. It’s nobody’s job to question His choice.
Psalm 102:13 says, “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.”Not only is it God’s choice, it’s also His set time to favour you. Believe this. Paul, writing to Timothy, said: “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus”(2 Timothy 2:1).
That’s what you ought to do; take advantage of the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. He likes you and He’s favourably disposed towards you; be conscious of it. You can get that job or promotion that you desire. You can rebuke that ailment from your body. The Bible says it’s by His grace, not of works lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
There’s grace for you from God for whatever you require right now: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work”(2 Corinthians 9:8).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for loving me and for choosing to favour me. Your matchless love for me gives me the required boldness and confidence to be the success you created me to be. I take advantage of your great grace and lead others into this knowledge, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Romans 9:11-16 KJV
(For [The Children] Being Not Yet Born, Neither Having Done Any Good Or Evil, That The Purpose Of God According To Election Might Stand, Not Of Works, But Of Him That Calleth;) It Was Said Unto Her, The Elder Shall Serve The Younger. As It Is Written, Jacob Have I Loved, But Esau Have I Hated. What Shall We Say Then? [Is There] Unrighteousness With God? God Forbid. For He Saith To Moses, I Will Have Mercy On Whom I Will Have Mercy, And I Will Have Compassion On Whom I Will Have Compassion. So Then [It Is] Not Of Him That Willeth, Nor Of Him That Runneth, But Of God That Sheweth Mercy.
Psalm 102:13 NIV
You Will Arise And Have Compassion On Zion, For It Is Time To Show Favor To Her; The Appointed Time Has Come.

And God Is Able To Make All Grace (Every Favor And Earthly Blessing) Come To You In Abundance, So That You May Always And Under All Circumstances And Whatever The Need Be Self-Sufficient [Possessing Enough To Require No Aid Or Support And Furnished In Abundance For Every Good Work And Charitable Donation].
