Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 28 January 2025 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Favour Of Upright Living
TOPIC: The Favour Of Upright Living (Seeds Of Destiny 28 January 2025)
SCRIPTURE: For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Psalm 5:12.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Integrity compels the favour of God on a man; righteousness is a pathway to accessing unusual kindness from both God and men.
MESSAGE:
The Favor of the Lord has been identified to be one of the profits of godly living. Psalm 5:12 says, For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. Proverb 16:7 corroborates it: When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. It takes the favour of God to make your enemy at peace with you. When the favour of God is on you, you don’t need to struggle to please any man.
That was what played out in the life of Esther in Esther 2:15: Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. When Esther displayed the character of contentment as against covetousness, by requiring nothing except what was made available, the Scripture reveals that she obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. That was a good example of the favour with both God and man.
A member of our church once testified of how God favoured him and made him the sole supplier of a product. All other suppliers were asked to stop supplying and he was made the sole supplier of the product. That was the favour of God at work. What made him the sole supplier was that the owner of the site saw the price others quoted compared to the price he quoted. They saw his faithfulness and the quality of his product and made him the sole supplier. Beloved, integrity compels the favour of God on a man; righteousness is a pathway to accessing unusual kindness from both God and men.
Remember this: Integrity compels the favour of God on a man; righteousness is a pathway to accessing unusual kindness from both God and men.
