Scripture: Esther 2:12-17
“So shall thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:4 (KJV)
Feedback: How does it feel sharing the word of God with others?
What is it that makes people select you even when you aren’t the most qualified? It is favour. Though you might have all the connections in the world, it is favour that helps you dig out the treasure that exists in such relationships.
Even if you don’t have an adequate connection, favour makes you stand out and causes people to notice you. Favour is God’s signature in the life of a man.
Esther was probably the least qualified contestant. First, she was an orphan with little influence and contacts. She was a stranger and a slave in Persia. She was a Jew who were the most vilified people at the time. But favour kept announcing her everywhere she went. She found favour with Hegai and he speedily gave her things for purification and also gave her and her maidens the best apartment (v9). Esther also obtained favour in the sight of the king above every other virgin. Esther was the only girl that caught the king’s admiration so much so that he couldn’t help but place the crown on her head as queen.
You may think you have all it takes to be the “selected”, but you’ll be surprised to know that it’s not by what you think you have or know, rather, it is by the favour of God in your life. God’s favour will elevate you and put you in palaces.
Reflection: Am I conscious of the favour of God over my life?
PRAYER: Lord, let your grace saturate me that I will find favour anywhere I go, in Jesus name.
FAITH BYTE: I cease to struggle anymore because my time of favour is here.
This Week Walk of Faith: Locate at least 2 favour scriptures and declare them over your life, this week.
