Lord, because You extend favor, honor, and love to me, I will release Your love and favor to others. I have received it freely, and I will give it freely. You are pouring out Your spirit of favor. You crown me with glory and honor because I am Your child and created me to do good works.

God’s favor, or grace, is God giving us the ability to do something which is humanly impossible for us to do. For example, it is only by God’s undeserved favor that we can experience eternal life, and it is only by God’s grace that we have the ability to live for the Lord.—Taken from Christianity Today: “What is God’s Favor?

To call for favor in prayer, humbly approach God, acknowledging your need for His blessings and specifically ask for His favor in your current situation, expressing gratitude for His past kindness and committing to live a life aligned with His will; you can use Bible verses related to favor to support your prayer, such as asking for "good favor in the sight of God and man.". Key points to include when calling for favor in prayer: Humility: Begin by acknowledging your dependence on God and your need for His favor. Specific request: Clearly state the area where you seek favor, whether it's in your career, relationships, health, or a specific opportunity. Biblical references: Incorporate verses about favor, like Psalm 30:5, Proverbs 3:4, or Ephesians 2:10, to ground your prayer in scripture. Alignment with God's will: Express your desire to use God's favor for His glory and to live according to His principles. Thankfulness: Express gratitude for any blessings you've already received and for the potential for future favor. Example prayer: "Heavenly Father, I come before You today humbly seeking Your favor in my life. As it says in Proverbs 3:4, 'Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' Lord, I ask that You open doors of opportunity for me in my career, grant me wisdom in my decision-making, and allow me to be a positive influence on those around me. I commit to live a life that honors You and use Your favor to serve others. Thank you for Your love and grace, in Jesus' name, Amen."

The Power Of Forgiveness Scripture: Matthew 6:12-15 Summary: God forgives us our sins, and He commands us to always forgive those that offend us in any way of the other. When we do, we have a lot of blessings to enjoy. THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS Study Text: Matthew 6:12 - 15 Introduction: - It is impossible as human beings to avoid offending others and being offended by others, when we are still alive. And, while we do not have the ability to control how others feel or act when offended, we do have free will over our own lives to decide how we will react when we are offended by others. - Forgiving others wholeheartedly is the secret of a happy and prolonged relationship in all facets of life: in the family, at work, at school, in Church, community, etc. - It’s not easy to forgive others, but it is what Jesus commands us to do. Even if the other person is not really sorry, we still have to forgive sincerely in order to fulfil the will of God. - We shall look at the topic under three sub-headings: 1. The Picture of Forgiveness 2. The Pattern of Forgiveness 3. The Profit of Forgiveness 1. The Picture of Forgiveness In order to fully understand what forgiveness means, we need to look at what forgiveness is not and then to consider what it is. 1. Forgiveness does not Justify the Offender - Forgiveness does not make the person being forgiven innocent. Forgiveness is not approving the wrong that was done, but overlooking it out of love, and with expectation that the offender will benefit with a profitable change of action and attitude. 2. Forgiveness does not Prevent Correction or Rebuke - Forgiveness does not require us to submit or be silent to injustice, bad actions and wrong behaviours. We can correct, rebuke or discipline the offenders while still loving them. This does not only produce a profitable change in the offenders, but will clearly reveal what is right to other people with a positive impact. Luke 17:3. 3. Forgiveness does not Harbour Bitterness - The offences may produce pains or hurts, but there is no true forgiveness if any bitterness is harboured against the offender. He must be seen and related with as if he had never committed the offence. 4. Forgiveness is an Opportunity for Self-Examination - Forgiveness is an opportunity to review our own lives. Whenever we find it difficult to forgive others, we should consider the wrongs that require that God should forgive us. Similarly, we should examine our hearts to see if there are people we are not willing to forgive, or we have not truly forgiven, whenever we need to ask God for forgiveness. - Forgiveness of others in our life is not something that needs to wait for them to come to us and ask. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can forgive those who never ask. 5. Forgiveness is a Way of Handing Over to God. - Forgiveness is an act of our will in which we give up the right to hold another person accountable for the wrongs they have done to us, and handing it over to God. It means releasing that person from any obligation to ever make things right to us, but to God. - Everyone should be careful what he/she does to others. The fact that we receive forgiveness from men does not mean that God will not judge us for our actions. 2. The Pattern of Forgiveness - God’s forgiveness is our pattern for forgiving others, Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12. God has given us this grace in the one he dearly loves. In him, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of his grace Ephesians 1:6. - This forgiveness is at the heart of our relationship with God. God has erased our sins, removed his wrath from us, and raised us from death to life. He has been incredibly kind and compassionate to us. And we now face a secure and glorious future through Christ. - Because God has forgiven us, we have a reason and the strength to forgive others. As God has erased our sins and sees us as holy and blameless through Christ, so we can and should seek to do the same to others: to erase the sins of others from our ledger of wrongs. - Our forgiveness of others is the measure of forgiveness we will receive from God. We can forgive because we have been forgiven. The key to forgiveness is to focus on what God has done for you. As God forgave us freely, we are to forgive those who have hurt us. - God forgives us without limit, as long as there is genuine repentance. We are also expected to forgive others without limit. Matthew 18:21-22. - God forgives us completely, immediately, and with sincerity. We are expected to show these qualities in our forgiveness to others. Matthew 18:35 3. The Profit of Forgiveness Forgiveness is profitable, not only to the person being forgiven, but also to the person doing the forgiveness. Forgiveness is a source of emotional health and freedom. It has the power to set us free from the hurts of the past, whether we are talking about ten minutes ago, or ten years ago. 1. Forgiveness Gives us Freedom from Hatred and Bitterness - When we truly forgive others, we are set free from the hold of bitterness and hatred against them in our hearts. Genesis 50:14-21. - Joseph did not deny the sinful nature of his brother's actions. Yet Joseph had refused to let their actions turn him into a bitter man. - Joseph doesn't make any excuses for their behaviour. He understood that they were accountable to God for their actions, not to him. - However, because Joseph had forgiven his brothers he could comfort and speak kindly to them. 2. Forgiveness Shields us against Satanic Attacks - Unforgiveness will give Satan a place in our lives, and he take advantage of us. 2 Corinthians 2: 10-11. - When Satan gains a place in the lives, he keeps us in bondage, directing us: a. To act selfishly by trying to get our needs met the wrong way. b. To speak hatefully to people c. To live carnally and contrary to the will of God. - Many Christians cannot receive forgiveness from God because Satan still has a place in their lives that he claims as his own because of past, un-forgiven offences. 3. Forgiveness Opens the Door of Mercy and Divine Favour for Us. - God only forgives us as much as we are willing to forgive others. This means that un-forgiveness will shut the door of God’s mercy against a man, and he will not enjoy divine favour in life. Matthew 5:7. - No wonder, Jesus wants us to settle the issue of forgiving others first, before approaching the altar of God for worship and giving of offerings. 4. Forgiveness will Qualify you for Eternal Rewards - One of the greatest requirements in getting to the kingdom of God is to follow peace with all men. Hebrews 12: 14-15. - Root of bitterness and unforgiveness is a defilement of our garment of righteousness, and will hinder us from enjoying eternity in heaven and from receiving eternal rewards. Conclusion: - Perhaps you have never received the forgiveness of sins that God has provided in His Son, Jesus Christ, we will never be able to forgive those who have hurt us, until we have experienced the forgiveness of God. - You need the assurance that your sins are forgiven through the precious blood of Jesus, by receiving Him as your Lord and personal Saviour. - You need to continue to live everyday for Jesus, with the readiness to forgive others their sins against you, even when they did not ask for it.
