The Power Of God’s Favor – By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

🌺Beloved, the Bible speaks of God’s favor as a powerful, divine blessing that empowers us believers, protects us from our enemies, and opens doors to blessings and opportunities.

🌺God’s favor is a gift received through faith, not earned, and it involves seeking Him, living righteously, and having a heart of obedience and faithfulness toward God.

🌺This divine favor is intended to establish the work of our hands and bring glory to God.

📒Psalms‬ ‭84‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬ tells us …

⭕️”For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

👉🏾O Lord of hosts, How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation].”
