God’s Nature Is Favor to Others
Dr RJ Sing
“Now we are no longer slaves but God's own sons. And since we are His sons, everything He has belongs to us, for that is the way God planned. 8Before you Gentiles knew God you were slaves to so-called gods that did not even exist.”
You are made in God’s image. Through Christ Jesus you have the ability to favor others and receive favor from others. You are an heir through Jesus Christ.
“And since we are his children, we will share his treasures for all God gives to his Son Jesus is now ours too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.” (Romans 8:17) God’s plan is for you to go forth in God’s ability and power and for you to favor others. Just as God is a God of love, He is also a God of favor. He seeks to favor and honor you today. A strong negative spirit will destroy your ability to reach out and receive much of His favor. Constantly confessing the negative will keep Gods love from coming through to you. It is like a roadblock or a short in an electrical circuit. God is reaching out His hand to favor you. You are worthy of God’s mercy and favor. You must stop thinking that you are not capable of receiving or giving Gods favor.
The Lord is merciful. He is gracious and plenteous in mercy. Come alive to the riches of His mercy and favor. You are Gods outlet for His love, mercy and favor. You are His ambassador. You are Gods outlet for His love, mercy and favor. Come alive to your responsibilities and opportunities of being heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Meditate on the fact that God favors you in all things.
