The Favour of God (Part 2)
IWM Devotion: The Favour of God (Part 2)
Scripture: Daniel 1:9, “Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.”
Word for Today
Before we go deeper, I want to pray for you. May God grant you the grace to be fully prepared for what He wants to do through your life. Amen. May you be singled out for favour and success in every place God has called you into. Amen.
Alright, Yesterday we looked at favour from the perspective of Book of Esther through the life of Esther. Today we are looking at favour through the story of Daniel.
The story of Daniel is one of the most inspiring stories in the Bible. Daniel was a young man taken into captivity in Babylon. He was among four young men chosen for special training, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
They were all selected. They all received the same opportunity. They were all in the same environment. But favour singled Daniel out. Today, when we talk about great men of faith in the Old Testament, Daniel’s name stands among them.
One thing we must understand is this, When the favour of God is upon your life, even if you are doing the same thing others are doing, your results will be different. That is the mark of favour. But Daniel did not simply relax and wait for favour to appear. He made a decision to live differently.
The Bible tells us that Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food. In other words, he chose discipline, consecration, and obedience to God even in a foreign culture. That decision attracted favour from God and from men. God caused the official in charge to show Daniel kindness and compassion.
What Daniel did is very powerful, especially in the world we live in today. Our culture is full of noise, pressure, and distractions. Everyone seems to be doing the same thing and following the same patterns.
But it takes the grace of God and a consecrated heart to choose a different path. It takes courage to stand for values, discipline, and integrity when others are compromising. Daniel reminds us that if you truly want to be different and singled out, you must be willing to live differently.
Whether in your Office, School, Profession, Business, and Marketplace. Do not think you are wasting your time by choosing excellence, discipline, and wisdom. Because the Bible says in Proverbs 8:35, “For whoever finds wisdom finds life and obtains favour from the Lord.” My beloved, wisdom attracts favour.
When you walk in wisdom, God causes your life to stand out. Opportunities begin to locate you. People begin to trust you. Doors begin to open.
Favour is not something to take lightly. I say it again, favour is powerful. Favour can Open doors that seemed impossible, Cause people to love you and show you kindness, Bring help from unexpected places, Position you in places of influence
And i pray that the favour of God will surround you. May His favour go with you wherever you go. May God cause your name to ring for good in the ears of your destiny helpers. May people remember you for opportunities, advancement, and blessing. And may the favour of God distinguish your life in every place you step into. Amen.
