Kingdom People: Favoured for Kingdom Purposes
Do you know what time it is?
When we know the time, we know what is required from us.
The Bible says that the men of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel should do (1 Chronicles 12:32). We may know the natural time, but do we know the spiritual time?
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 says, ‘As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says, “In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.’
Now is the time of God’s favour. Now is the day of salvation.
We can have a relationship with God though Jesus today.
This is a season of divine favour.
Isiah 61 declares the year of the Lord’s favour. The Lord’s favour is that He is with us and His Spirit in us.
We are royalty, chosen and God’s special possession (1 Peter 2:9). We believe that things you may have struggled with in the last season, you will not struggle with in this season because there is favour on this church family.
We are in a season of rapid acceleration, growth and fruitfulness. The runway is clear- God’s provisions are now able to ‘land’ because it is His time and His season of favour.
Souls will be saved, family members will be saved, and there will be favour on our finances for this year.
Favour is for purpose. Favour is to win victories for God’s glory. Favour is a tool for Kingdom Purposes; it is to save lives and glorify the King.
God’s favour is from Him and for Him.
We are a favoured people for Kingdom Purposes.
So, how do we steward favour?
We need to prepare the soil of our hearts and lives so that God’s favour can flourish in our lives. That which attracts His favour sustains His favour. We want our lives to be a pathway for His favour.
In the Bible, Esther, David and Joseph were marked by favour and lived lives of prayer, consecration and humility.
1) Cultivate a life of prayer. Develop prayer altars- times and places of prayer- for you and your family to pray and read the Bible.
2) Walk in humility. Isiah 66:2 says, ‘These are the ones I look on with favour: those who are humble and contrite in spirit.’
God wants us to be transformed into His likeness and reading His Word and praying changes us.
If Jesus was standing beside you, how would you live? Would you be unkind to someone or shout? He is not just beside us, Jesus lives in us. as we submit to His word and prayer, it transforms how we treat others and handle ourselves.
We must steward God’s favour well by humble lives before God, going deep into Him.
A call to action
You were born for ‘such a time as this (Esther 4:14). You are favoured for 2026. God has a plan and purpose and calling on your life that only you can fulfil.
Ask God to show you your divine assignment this year. Esther’s assignment was to go before the king to save the Jewish people. She had to be bold and take steps towards this.
What steps do you need to take today? Perhaps its opening up your home to neighbours or starting a prayer meeting in your workplace. Perhaps it’s starting a business or travelling to another nation.
