SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE
SECOND SERVICE
THEME: PROPHETIC SERVICE
TOPIC: DEALING WITH ANTI-FAVOR FORCES (PART 2)
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 16:9
MINISTERING: FELIX ULOR
Favour is the best gift of God to man. Favour is the greatest gift of God's mercy. Every error of man makes him fall out of favour with God.
WHAT IS ANTI-FAVOR FORCES?
1. Powers that oppose success and resist growth in a person's life.
Ephesians 6:12.
2. Evil spirits that follow people to block or frustrate breakthroughs in their lives.
Daniel 10:12-13.
In any environment of demonic manifestation, there is lack of favour.
3. Human agents of satan activated to stop or spoil good opportunities or benefits.
1 Samuel 29:6-7.
They will go to any length to destroy you or rob you of promotion.
There are components to everything that work. Nothing operates in isolation. Everything will work in unit. Everyone walking in favour knows something.
SOME INFALLIBLE SECRETS TO OVERCOME ANTI-FAVOR FORCES.
1. BUILD UP FAITH FOR FAVOR:
Romans 5:1-2, Proverbs 8:35.
People think building favour means you don't have to do anything for God to favour you. Build up your faith for favour because you will need favour every day of your life. Favour can take you anywhere because it is a universal currency. You must stay in faith if you must stay in Christ. There is nothing favour cannot give to you. If you don't master faith for favour, you will compromise and enter into problem. Take an account of your life and check how many things you have gotten by favour and by sharp practises. Don't have or pursue a success that undermines God.
2. LIVE A RIGHTEOUS LIFE:
Psalm 5:12, Proverbs 12:2, Proverbs 3:1-4, Proverbs 22:1.
This is a life that is right before God.
Two sides of righteousness
A. A life that pleases God.
B. A life that people know to be upright.
Anyone can pretend but when your heaven is closed for a long time, check your righteousness level. If God is pleased with you, it doesn't matter who does not like you, He will favour you and compel people even your enemies to favour you. Favour will take care of you without you compromising.
3. GIVE FAVOR STRATEGICALLY:
Proverbs 11:24-25, Galatians 6:7.
The wisdom that makes giving command favour is strategic giving. Strategic giving guarantees favour. It is given by divine prompting or instruction. Be careful how you give. There is giving that will not command favour for you because you're not wise. There are the right people and the right environment for giving. Anywhere your money goes is a ground and not all grounds are fertile ground. Be spiritually sensitive to your giving.
There is a way you spend money on yourself and heaven will close over you. Don't try to help a man whom God is not helping and wants to teach a lesson. Be wise when giving.
4. ACCESS SUPERNATURAL WISDOM ALWAYS:
James 1:5, Luke 2:52.
Those who walk by divine wisdom never lack favour. Any believer whose life lacks favour lacks divine wisdom. The Holy Spirit will show you the steps and what to do to access favour. How you know you lack wisdom is that there is one area in your life that is most difficult for you or makes you cry. There is something you will know and you will never be stranded and you will know what to do at every moment. The most difficult days of your life are the most ignorant of your life. You need wisdom for favour.
5. ASSOCIATE BY DIVINE DIRECTION:
Proverbs 13:20, Proverbs 18:22, Genesis 30:27.
Love everybody but don't associate with everyone. Choose your association by divine direction. Some associations will cut you off from grace. Hang around people who walk in genuine favour or success and be selfish about it. Don't hang out with everyone if not, you will never be great. Marry someone who understands kingdom mysteries. Marry someone who has knowledge and knows God.
Don't lose any relationship that is a channel of favour to you, swallow your pride and keep that relationship if not, you will suffer. Ask yourself, what is your growth level in all areas of your life? What do you have to show for following God? What level of power do you operate at?
6. WORK HARD AND MANAGE BLESSINGS WISELY:
Proverbs 13:11.
Hard work is not hard labour, it is making every necessary effort to succeed. Work hard and don't break the law. If you commit to hard work, God will bring favour to you. Have something doing by which God will bless you.
7. BE A KINGDOM SERVANT AND INVESTOR:
Matthew 6:33, Job 36:11.
Become a kingdom servant and investor if you want to break the anti-favour pattern in your life. You are a kingdom servant when you live your entire life to do the work of God. You cannot be kingdom-minded and not walk in favour. Be sold out to kingdom service.
8. MAINTAIN A FERVENT PRAYER/POSITIVE SPEAKING LIFE:
Psalm 119:58, Matthew 7:7-8, 1 Peter 3:10, Psalm 102:1/12, Proverbs 18:21.
Become a prayer addict if you want to break into the realm of favour that satan cannot stop.
Three ways to go about prayer
A. Do warfare always.
Don't do prayer without making a decree against the gates of hell. Declare war against the gates of hell. Be offensive.
B. Pray to access divine intelligence.
If you know what they don't know, you beat them. The race of life is won by knowledge and favour. What you know and who you know. This is knowing what to do per time.
C. Speak positively and prophetically.
We sulk and break down easily, which is why the prophetic mandates of believers are underutilised. Speak positively and prophetically even when things are not going the way you want.
9. ENGAGE THE ORDINANCES WITH UNDERSTANDING:
1 Samuel 10:1-4, Hebrews 12:24.
One of the things that breaks the backbone of hardships or poverty is ordinances. Don't play with mantles and ordinances if you want to walk in favour perpetually. Men who carry favour do not chase men.
10. MAXIMIZE PROPHETIC CONNECTION AND SPIRITUAL COVERING:
2 Chronicles 20:20, Isaiah 44:24-26.
If you're not covered, you're endangered. The three things that God gave us are Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Prophet. If you know how to create a relationship with the three of them, you will not fail. Stay under cover. Followership makes great men but stay under covering. The prophet is your profit if you know how to maximise it. Stay covered.
Where knowledge abounds, Favor Abides
