FAVOR FROM A FUNERAL

“…you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:4 (ESV)

One of my closest spiritual brothers, Overseer Michael Ingram, experienced unusual favor during one of his most difficult times. Last week, he buried one of his most faithful members. During the homecoming celebration, a major radio host was present. As he was exiting the church, the gentleman walked up to him, introduced himself, and then expressed how he was blessed by the eulogy. The next day, the gentleman announced to the entire listening audience his experience at the Carter’s Chapel Full Gospel Baptist Church in Somerville, Tennessee. He communicated his appreciation of the spirit of excellence displayed in the overall ministry. Even in the midst of a painful time, my brother and his church experienced God’s Supernatural Favor.

The life of Joseph is an example that the believer can walk in God’s Favor—even in the most adverse situations and circumstances. As a child, he had favor with his father. After his brothers sold him into slavery, he found favor in Potiphar’s house. Even in prison, he walked in favor while institutionalized. I believe that if you look back through the rolodex of your life, you’ll see how God’s Favor has been with you in some of the most tumultuous times. God promises us His Favor—not only with Him—but with man as well. (Proverbs 3:4)
My brothers and sisters, regardless of where you are and what you’re going through, God’s Favor is and always has been upon your life.

Let’s Pray:
“Father, thank You for Your Favor during every season of our lives, in Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”

The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
