by“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” — Proverbs 3:3-4 NIV
Favour is inevitable if you want to rise to the high level God wants you to reach in your divine calling. Many things are required of you to possess at that great height, especially finances, but don’t come by your own hard work or strategies. They come by the favour of God manifested in people committed to helping you.
As a child of God, you must never downplay the impact of favour upon your destiny. As great as Jesus was, He needed favour to carry out His divine mandate on the earth. Luke 2:52 (NKJV) says,
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Luke 2:52 (NKJV)
Favour is a necessary possession in making a Christ-centred impact on this world. But the question is, how can we win favor in the sight of God and man? That’s what Proverbs 3:3 (NIV) teaches.
It says, “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” So the two primary ways of winning favour before God and man are: walking in love and faithfulness.
Focus on loving others as Christ loved you and gave Himself for you. You’ll see that you’ll walk in love by grace. Also, when it comes to faithfulness, do whatever gets handed to you to do excellently, handling things entrusted to you with much care. Doing these two things will make you win favour in the sight of God and man. You wouldn’t need to beg God or anyone to favour you. They’ll just come with you as you walk in this knowledge. Treasure these teachings of wisdom in your heart.
You’re a blessing.
Prayer
Father, help me treasure Your love and faithfulness in my heart, that by continually walking in them, I’ll win favour before You and people to carry out Your divine assignment. Amen!
