TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Let this truth sink down into
your spirit today: God’s favor is not for a season; it’s for a lifetime. How
do we obtain God’s favor? Proverbs three tells us that when we honor His
Word, when we obey His commands and walk in mercy and truth, that’s how we
find favor in God’s sight. When we do our part, God will do His part.
Today, if you are believing
God for something, maybe a turnaround in a relationship, career or your
health, stand firm that God’s Word is true. When you put Him first place in
your life, when you follow His commands, He promises to pour out His favor on
you. When those thoughts try to tell you, “It’s not going to happen. It’s too
good to be true.” Turn it around and say, “Father, I want to thank You for
Your favor on my life, on my children, on my career, on my future. I am Your
child, and I know it’s not temporary. It’s not seasonal. It doesn’t come and
go. Thank you, God, for a lifetime of favor!”

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
