The favor of God brings light to even the darkest night.
This is the third message in Pastor Sharris’ series on the Favor of God. In it she examines the life of Jesus and explains how he is an example for us in the area of God’s favor.
Key scripture for this series:
Luke 2:52 “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
Our Example
Jesus is our pattern son – Firstborn, the first fruits of the new creation. He is the first complete new creation. Spirit, Soul, and Body.
Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” — John 8:28-29
We need to pattern our lives after Jesus. We need to increase in favor with God and man. We need to bring influence and impact into the world. We need favor in politics, business, community, church.
What to Expect
An increase in favor releases and brings increase in all areas and opportunities; promotions, open doors, opportunities to share Christ. Opportunities for ministry will be all around you!
With all this favor here is what else comes with it: Increase in opposition, jealousy, hatred false accusations. Those who are out there manipulating and negotiating for your position will be jealous of God’s supernatural favor on you and hate you!
