God's Favor and Wealth

Introduction 

A. What Is the Favor of God?

1. Favor is the same word for grace-God's kindness and help extended toward us.

 

2. Promotion, restoration, honor, victory, recognition, preferential treatment and

Supernatural increase in assets and real estate.

 

3. The favor of God is God personally acting on your behalf doing for you whatever it

takes for you to prosper, thrive, flourish and be the success you were created to be.

 

4. The favor of God will cause people to go out of their way to bless you, provide for

you, help you, assist you and make special concessions just for you.

 

5. The favor of God will make a way where there is no way, open doors where there are

no doors, provide where there is no provision and do the impossible in the midst of

the most impossible situations

 

B. The Favor of God Will Increase Assets and Real Estate

1. Psalm 84:11 (AMP): "The Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present]

grace and favor and [future] glory! No good thing will He withhold from those who

walk uprightly."

 

2. Psalm 44:3: "They got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did

their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy

countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them."

 

3. Deuteronomy 33:23: "And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and

full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and the south."

 

a. NLT: "...You are rich in favor and full of the Lord's blessings: may you

possess the west and the south."

 

4. Exodus 3:21: "I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall

come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty."

 

a. NLT: "...I will see to it that the Egyptians treat you well. They will load you

down with gifts so you will not leave empty-handed."

 

5. Genesis 39:1-6: "And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer

of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the

Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. And the Lord was with Joseph,

and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him:

and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and

over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and

the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he

left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread

which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored."

 

C. Today Is the Day of God's Favor

1. Luke 4:18-21 (AMP): "The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed

Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the

poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the

blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden,

bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity], to proclaim the accepted and

acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God

profusely abound]. Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and

sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him. And

He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled while you are

present and hearing."

 

2. Psalm 5:12: The favor of God surrounds us

 

3. Proverbs 14:9: The favor of God is among us

 

4. Luke 2:14 (NIV): The favor of God rests upon us

 

5. Genesis 12:2 (AMP): God blesses us with an abundant increase of His favors

 

D. Say, "The favor of God is working on my behalf!"
