IN CHRIST: YOU HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO FAVOUR
“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is come.” Psalms 102:13 (KJV)
When favor is working in your life, the storm of life cannot destroy you. Today, I want to announce to you that the time for you to be favored has come. That set time is here! The set time has come! This is the set time for the manifestation of Jesus. That is why Jesus came. The book of Luke 4:18-19 tells us exactly why Jesus came: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
God’s favor has come abundantly because it is the favorable year of the Lord. When the salvation of the Lord abounds, it abounds greatly. Where the salvation of the Lord abounds, there is no struggle, no frustration, no anxiety, and no stress. What Jesus did at Calvary has put you eternally in God’s favor. This God’s favor can never be stopped.
Paul underscores this truth in the book of 2 Corinthians 6:1-2: “We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”)
In Christ, the believer has been accepted. That speaks of favor. In Christ, the believer has been brought into right standing with God. You have been approved by Him. That is favour. When you received Jesus therefore, you stepped into a season of unlimited access to favor. Because of this, Paul then encourages us not to receive the grace of God in vain. Don’t receive this favor in vain! Put it to use!
