FAVOR!
We need God's assistance and help to fulfill what He's created us to do. He is the one who knows us, has a plan for us, and created us to do certain things, but His favor on our life makes the difference. That's what favor means- divine assistance, preferred treatment, etc... We have this in our life!
Galatians 3:29 says, "And if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” That's us. We are Abraham's seed if we've made Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and it says that "we are heirs according to the promise.” Well, what is that promise? Genesis 12:1-3 is this promise. "NOW [in Haran] The Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]. And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].” Notice what God promised us, "I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing.” When we step out in obedience to God, He says it's to our advantage. It always benefits us and others to obey God and do what He ask us to do.
He promised Abraham and us that He would make us distinguished. Some of the meanings of the word distinguished are noted, eminent, famous, excellent, marked. We are marked by God, His stamp of approval is upon our lives and He believes in what He created. He created you to do great things and has marked you with His excellence. God doesn't make trash. When He does something, it is with excellence. Excellence is doing the best with what you have and God has only the best, that's what He has. He made you out of His best. You are created in His image and His likeness. He is the best so you are the best.
To be marked by God is FAVOR. Jesus said in Matthew 5:8 that the "pure in heart shall see God." Pure doesn't mean perfect, it means committing, faithful, and loyal. "You shall see God" means you shall see remarkable things. In other words, because of God's favor you are re-marked. You might have been marked with defeat, but through your relationship with God you are re-marked with victory. You might have been marked by sickness, lack, destruction but by His favor we are re-marked with health, abundance, and restoration. God wants us to expect His favor in our life. He wants to divinely assist us and help us be who He's created us to be and to fulfill our destiny.
These are a few words from Trey Johnson Ministries. We hope you have a blessed day!
