Walk in God's Favour

 *WALK IN GOD’S FAVOUR EVERY DAY ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*


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.”



“Why was it only Noah and his family that were saved?” You’ve probably read the story of Noah and the flood and asked this question or pondered on it. The answer is simple; the Bible says in Genesis 6:8 AMPC, “But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.” That’s why when God decided to destroy the earth by flood, He instructed Noah to build an ark to protect him from the deluge. As it rained, it didn’t matter the extent of the flood and the destruction it left in its wake for the people of the world; the same waters bore Noah’s ark up. He didn’t have to bother about the flood because he was in favour with God. Romans 5:17 lets us know that God has granted us abundance of grace, meaning we’re in favour with Him.


Accordingly, you’re expected to live and walk with the consciousness of one who’s favoured of the Lord. No matter what happens in the world, refuse to fret; you’re not of the world. Maintain this consciousness, or otherwise, you’ll be walking against the Word of God without realizing it, thereby exposing yourself to unnecessary challenges, difficulties and frustrations, because you’re not living in the consciousness of God’s favour. 


Walking in favour doesn’t mean that the flood will not come. Remember, He warned Noah ahead of the flood and instructed him to build an ark and stay in the ark. It would have been foolish for Noah to pray against the water instead of acting on the Word to build and remain in the ark. Live in the Ark of God—His Word—and you’ll never be disadvantaged in life because you’ve found favour with the Lord. 


Some think that if everything is all right, then they’ll find favour with God; no. It’s the favour of God in your life that makes everything all right, and not the other way round. God wants you to have this consciousness, the awareness that nothing is designed to work against you! No matter what happens, you can always win, because you’re the object of God’s overwhelming love and supernatural grace.

James 3:5 Learning to tame your tongue is very important. The tongue, as small as it is, can do the greatest good or harm depending on how you use it.

Fiery Darts

 *QUENCH ALL FIERY DARTS ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*  Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Ephesians 6:16 The title of today’s devotion isn’t talking about actual fires, no; “fiery darts” here refers to situations that are contrary to God’s Word for you. The Bible says such situations are fiery darts (Ephesians 6:16).  For example, if you felt a sudden pain in your body, that’s a fiery dart. What you should do immediately is come against it with faith- filled words and in the Name of Jesus. Remember, your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Hallelujah!
