(You’re Specially Favoured By The Lord!)
TO THE BIBLE: John 1:16
“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.”
LET’S TALK
When the angel of the Lord appeared before Mary in Luke 1:28, he greeted her in a very special way. He said, “Rejoice, highly favored one…” This same expression is used in Ephesians 1:6, but wrongly translated as “accepted.”
The Greek is “charitoo” and it means “to grace or be imbued with special honour,” or “to make accepted or be highly favoured.” Rendered correctly, Ephesians 1:6 will read, “…by which He has made us highly favoured in the Beloved.” Hallelujah!
As a child of God, you’re divinely favoured, and it’s important that you recognize it. When we talk about being divinely favoured, it means that God’s grace has been lavished upon you in Christ Jesus. John 1:17 tells us, “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
Romans 5:17 says, “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.).” That’s what we received: abundance of grace!
Our theme verse calls it “grace upon grace.” Hallelujah! Every so often, you should declare, “I’m walking and functioning in divine favour.”
You’ve got to take advantage of the grace of Jesus Christ at work in you. With that grace, everything works: the earth responds to you, the heavens respond to you, life is glorious, and whatever you lay your hands to do prospers. Hallelujah!

John 1:16 AMPC; Psalm 5:12; Ephesians 4:7
Speak:
God has granted me abundance of grace; I’m in favour with Him! I’m divinely positioned by His grace for a supernatural and transcendent life. Therefore, I live and walk in the consciousness of the favour factor! And no matter what happens in the world, I will not fret! Glory to God!
