INTRODUCTION:
Favour is one of the greatest blessings a man can receive from God. When God causes men to favour you, doors that have been shut for years suddenly open. Opportunities that seemed unreachable become accessible. Divine favour goes beyond human connections; it is God’s supernatural hand directing the hearts of people to bless and support you.

The Scriptures reveal that favour is not just an accident—it is orchestrated by God. Joseph found favour in Egypt, Esther found favour in the sight of the king, and even Jesus grew in favour with God and man. This shows that favour is both divine and human, but the root is always God’s intervention.

Beloved, when God decides to favour you, even your enemies will be compelled to bless you. Favour breaks protocols, cancels struggles, and positions you for greatness. Let us consider how the God we serve causes men to favour us.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL FAVOUR
Before men can favour you, God must first release His favour upon you.

a) Favour flows from God’s mercy (Psalm 5:12)
God surrounds the righteous with His favour like a shield.

b) Favour is a divine gift, not earned by works (Romans 9:16)
It is not by effort but by the mercy of God.

c) God controls the hearts of men (Proverbs 21:1)
He turns hearts in your favour as He wills.

d) Without God, human favour is empty (John 3:27)
Nothing good comes without Heaven’s release.

Biblical Example: Joseph in Potiphar’s house found favour because God was with him (Genesis 39:21).

2. FAVOUR BRINGS SUPERNATURAL LIFTING
When God favours you, no barrier can limit your rising.

a) Favour changes your status suddenly (Exodus 3:21)
The Israelites left Egypt with wealth because of favour.

b) Favour brings access to great opportunities (Revelation 3:8)
God opens doors no man can shut.

c) Favour distinguishes you from the crowd (Esther 2:17)
Esther was preferred above all others.

d) Favour lifts you beyond qualification (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
It is not by skill but by divine favour.

Biblical Example: Esther found favour before the king and became queen (Esther 2:15-17).

3. FAVOUR ATTRACTS DIVINE HELPERS
God causes men to rise and help you in your journey.

a) Favour connects you to destiny helpers (Isaiah 60:10)
Strangers shall build your walls.

b) Favour makes people willing to assist you (Exodus 12:36)
Egyptians gave the Israelites what they asked for.

c) Favour brings the right people into your life (Proverbs 18:22)
God aligns you with supportive relationships.

d) Favour turns hearts of kings towards you (Nehemiah 2:4-5)
The king granted Nehemiah’s request to rebuild Jerusalem.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah found favour before the king to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

4. FAVOUR PRESERVES AND DEFENDS YOU
The favour of God shields you from harm.

a) Favour makes you untouchable to enemies (Psalm 105:15)
“Touch not mine anointed.”

b) Favour brings deliverance from danger (Psalm 41:11)
The enemy cannot triumph over you.

c) Favour ensures divine protection (Psalm 30:5)
His favour is life.

d) Favour keeps you standing in tough seasons (Isaiah 41:10)
God upholds you with His right hand.

Biblical Example: Daniel found favour in Babylon and was preserved in the lions’ den (Daniel 6:21-22).

5. FAVOUR MAKES YOU A TESTIMONY TO OTHERS
When God favours you, your life becomes a testimony of His goodness.

a) Favour gives you good success (Joshua 1:8)
Your results bring glory to God.

b) Favour brings joy and celebration (Psalm 30:11)
God turns mourning into dancing.

c) Favour makes your life enviable (Genesis 26:12-14)
Isaac prospered until the Philistines envied him.

d) Favour positions you as a channel of blessing (2 Corinthians 9:8)
You abound in good works.

Biblical Example: Mary found favour with God and became the vessel of Jesus’ birth (Luke 1:30).

CONCLUSION:
When God arises to favour you, protocols are broken, limitations are lifted, and doors are opened. Divine favour is God’s supernatural endorsement upon your life that compels men to bless you, defend you, and lift you. May this be your set time for favour in Jesus’ name.
