Discussion
To be favoured is to be specially selected to be treated kindly. To be favoured means you have been desired above others. It is that experience of being preferred for kindness. Favour is a real thing. To have favour with God and men is something every man desires. There are many who even go for special prayers in order to access favour. There are others who go for deliverance sessions in order to cancel a spirit of disfavor and attract the spirit of favour. But favour is not a mystery at all. The bible clearly tells us how to attract favour from both God and men. Prov.3.3; "Never let loyalty and kindness get away from you! Wear them like a necklace; write them deep within your heart." Notice the words loyalty and kindness. Read the next verse to see the result of showing loyalty and kindness to people; Prov 3:4; "Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will gain a good reputation."NLT. Therefore, if you are loyal and kind to others, you will attract both divine favour and human favour. So, is it possible for a person to deliberately attract favour to themselves? Absolutely yes! Favour is not a mystery. It is cultivated intentionally. It is a fruit and a product of a life of loyalty and kindness to others. Favour is a supernatural response to a life of concern for the welfare of others. Be loyal to your godly relationships. Be loyal to your spouse. Stop cheating your helpers. Be loyal to your boss and his/her company that raised you up. Be kind to people who may not even deserve your kindness. Become a helper to the helpless. As you express loyalty and kindness to people, watch how divine and human favour will gravitate towards you from now on. Shalom Uvracha!
