INTRODUCTION

Good morning brethren. I welcome you again to the last Monday in the month of June, our month of Favour and Divine Establishment. I pray that you will enjoy divine favour without any limitation in Jesus name, amen.

By the grace of God, we will be discussing the 7 Keys to Supernatural Favour today and then we will take a few prayers. God bless you.

MESSAGE: 7 KEYS TO SUPERNATURAL FAVOUR

The following are the 7 keys that can lead to Supernatural Favour.

 1. PRAISING GOD WILL GIVE YOU FAVOR.

If you want to know how to move in God’s supernatural favour. . .you’ll find an amazing answer in Acts 2:47 which says:

“Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

When you begin to praise God. . .you change the spiritual atmosphere. . .wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.

If you feel like the hordes of hell have carpooled and headed to your house. . .then just start praising God for what He’s done and is doing in your life.

Start with the basics. . .thank God for being able to breathe on your own. . .to hear others speak and being able to speak so others hear you.

When words of praise start flowing from your lips. . .circumstances change. . .adversaries flee. . .thoughts are purified and energized by the Holy Spirit. . .which leaves a spiritual confidence. . .with every person you meet.

2. WHEN YOU ACCEPT A DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENT YOU MOVE IN GOD’S FAVOUR.

If God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb and He does…, don’t you think He knows every situation and circumstance you will face on your journey through this earth?

Luke 1:29-31 in the Amplified Bible says:

“But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled and disturbed and confused at what he said and kept revolving in her mind what such a greeting might mean.

“And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace (free, spontaneous, absolute favour and loving-kindness) with God.

“And listen! You will become pregnant and will give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus.”

Why do you think Mary found “absolute favour” with God. . .could it be because He knew her character well enough to know how she’d respond?

Luke 1:34-38 says:

“Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. . .For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”

Mary knew she had never been with a man. . .so asking “how shall this be” was a logical question.  But . . . she didn’t say, “This can’t happen. . .it’s never been done before.”  Her question was not one of doubt but of inquiry.  She knew there was something about to happen. . .that she’d never experienced before.  Something beyond the natural realm . . . something born of the spirit.

God counted on Mary being obedient. . .when it wasn’t convenient.

God knew within Mary’s heart she could agree to do something. . . where her actions would be misunderstood and slandered. . .even at the risk of her own death.

Why do you think. . .the people didn’t stone Mary to death as the law directed. . .it’s because she was moving in the favour of God.

Five verses before the angel reveals Mary’s future to her. . .she is referred to as “highly favoured.”

Luke 1:28 says:

“And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.”

Like Mary. . .you may be facing seemingly impossible circumstances or problems. . .but if you respond. . .despite the severity of the adversity. . .as simply as. . . “be it according to your Word” . . .then you too. . .will be moving in supernatural favour.

3. WHEN YOU INCREASE IN WISDOM. . .YOU INCREASE IN FAVOUR WITH GOD.

Luke 2:52 says:

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

How do you and I get this wisdom?  James 1:5 says:

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

Luke 2:52 makes it clear to me. . .there is a proportionate increase in favour as you increase in wisdom.  Once again, the verse says:

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

If you want to walk in supernatural favour. . .get wisdom.

4. GOD’S IRRESISTIBLE GRACE AND FAVOUR WILL FLOW THROUGH YOU TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Even in the midst of difficult circumstances. . .the supernatural favour of God will flow through you.

Genesis 39:21 says:

“But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.”

While most believers will never find themselves confined in a prison with guards and tungsten steel wire fences. . .they may feel incarcerated by their surroundings. . .feelings about freedom. financial and otherwise. . .is just an elusive dream.

No matter what circumstances you’re facing. . .God can move you from the prison to the palace. . .as His irresistible grace and favour flow through you to change hearts and attitudes toward you.

Acts 7:10 in the Amplified Bible says:

“And delivered him from all his distressing afflictions and won him goodwill and favour and wisdom and understanding in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and all his house.”

God will even give you favour with people who have tortured you. . .laughed at you. . .perhaps even enslaved you.

Exodus 12:36 in the Amplified Bible says:

“The Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they asked. And they stripped the Egyptians [of those things].”

God’s WORD Translation of Exodus 12:36 says: “. . .So the Israelites stripped Egypt of its wealth.”

So, my prayer is for the irresistible grace and favour of Jesus Christ to flow through you. . .giving you favour with every person you meet.  Many of these people may not even know why they’re giving you such favour. . .but we will know.

5. NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT GOD’S FAVOUR.

1 Corinthians 16:23 in the Amplified Bible says:

“The grace (favour and spiritual blessing) of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”

From the time we awakened in the morning till we pillow our heads at night. . .our Heavenly Father wants us talking, walking, living and acting in His favour. . .wherever we go and in whatever we’re doing. . .as long as. . .we bring glory and honour to Him.

Oftentimes we don’t walk in favour because we don’t ask for it or expect it.

Do you expect to find a parking space close to the entrance of the mall?  When you do. . .that’s the favour of God.

There will be moments where we pray for favour in specific situations thinking that things should go one way. . .when, in fact, something else is better.  But whatever the scenario we’ve got we must realize that “Father Knows Best”.

Psalm 139:5 in the Message Bible says:

“You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence.

“I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too—your reassuring presence, coming and going.  This is too much, too wonderful—I can’t take it all in!”

6. EVEN SINNERS RECOGNIZE THE FAVOUR OF GOD ON YOU.

“I don’t know what it is but things always seem to go your way.”

It’s important for each of us to realize that even when the enemy tries to trip us up. . .or set traps for us. . .he loses and we ALWAYS win.

Take comfort in Proverbs 12:13 in the Amplified Bible which says:

“The wicked is [dangerously] snared by the transgression of his lips, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall come out of trouble.”

Not only come out of trouble. . .but many times. . .the favour of God will keep us from ever falling into traps of the enemy.

Psalm 91:3 in the Contemporary English Version says:

“The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases.”

Jacob had his wages changed ten times by his conniving and greedy father-in-law Laban. 

Despite the best efforts of a sinful man. . .Jacob continued to prosper because Jacob kept his trust in God.

The favour of God on Jacob. . .became clearly evident to Laban.

Genesis 30:27 says:

“And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.”

Even sinners can’t overlook, deny or rationalize away the supernatural favour of God on someone’s life.

Genesis 21:22 in the New Living Translation says:

“About this time, Abimelech came with Phicol, his army commander, to visit Abraham. “God is obviously with you, helping you in everything you do,” Abimelech said.”

What a witness. . .for God’s favour on your life to be clearly evident to everyone around you.

7. DOUBLE FAVOUR CAN BE YOURS.

2 Corinthians 1:15 in the Amplified Bible says:

“It was with assurance of this that I wanted and planned to visit you first [of all], so that you might have a double favour and token of grace (goodwill).”

The New Living Translation of 2 Corinthians 1:15 says:

“Since I was so sure of your understanding and trust, I wanted to give you a double blessing by visiting you twice.”

Talk about favour. . .two visits by Paul would be an incredible experience.  The opportunity of being in his presence. . .experiencing the power flowing through him and the revelation pouring out of him.

What would put a person in such a unique position?  Simply put, obeying what the word says whether it’s convenient or not.  Doing what God says we should be doing and how we should be doing it.

Which now leads me back full circle to the original seven keys. . .which I now know underscore the importance of this teaching and how God wants us to operate in the earthly realm.

CONCLUSION

Its God plan that you live in and enjoy supernatural favour. Don’t let your present circumstances which may be unpleasant determine your belief in and acceptance of God’s plan for your life.

But a life of sin could be a hindrance to enjoying supernatural favour. So, if you are yet to fully surrender your life to Jesus, do so now so that you don’t hinder your ability to enjoy supernatural favour.
