Qualified by Favour, not Labour

 

Text: Psalm 44:3 (KJV)

 

For they got not the land in possession in their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

 

There are achievements you do not fight to get it comes as a gift. It is not by your strength you got this far. Many have packed into houses they did not build, dwell in land they did not toil, enjoy vineyards they did not plant, got jobs they are not qualified for all these by genuine favour. You can’t forget many of your colleagues and age mates that are far behind your status today. God knows your works, how you have worked, and made several efforts patiently, but until the Lord build the house your labour is in vain or less result. Our efforts are like manual labour which has a lot of limitations.  It is the favour of God we need to end the frustration in our labour. The effort becomes enjoyable because of the scent of His presence that distinguishes our labour from favour.

 

You have toiled enough and brought in little; it is time to roll back the net to the creator and source of the channels of our blessing. Do not labour alone rather, introduce the unlimited source at each phase of life. Your merit and certification for favour is not by your labour, but the finished work of Jesus on the cross qualifies us and not our works of righteous that any should boast. You don’t struggle for man’s favour rather go for Gods approval and man will align effortlessly. Favour attraction is beyond physical acquisition, as it bottles every good thing we enjoy today. Ecclesiastes 9:11- I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, not the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happened to them.We have found out that the fastest runners and the greatest heroes don’t always win races in our contemporary times.  Labour can make great men of ability with experience to be turned down; therefore, desire favour you can get to any height.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father any area we are still frustrated by our efforts, may the oil of favourlubricates our endeavours in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE:God’s approval for favour can bring you to heights above equals.
