Enjoying God's Special Favour And Privileges

Last week, I talked about how Esther, an unknown orphan somewhere, was able to rise to become a Queen of a global empire due to the immense favour God blessed her with. Indeed, favour is one prominent spiritual tool that can help you become great in life without compromising God's Holy ways. 

 Now, God is Good, and He is always Good to everyone - irrespective of tribe, gender, religion, etc. However, there are certain special privileges that can only be enjoyed by qualified persons. In Luke 1:27-30, we saw another woman who enjoyed God's special favour: 

 "The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God." 

 God's favour is not just a thing of luck. God loves everyone of us equally and is always eager to bless us with His blessings, including favour. Also, you can determine how much of God's favour you enjoy. 

 So, we see Mary up there. Out of the millions of women available, she was favoured and selected to become the mother of the Lord Jesus. Of course, this act of favour changed her life forever. However, if she hasn't fulfilled the requirements of being a virgin, she won't have been considered at all. 

Therefore, if you want to enjoy special privileges from God, you must not allow sin to disqualify you in the first place. You should instead embrace your qualifications through faith in Christ Jesus. In Christ Jesus, you become righteous to God, and you earn the special privileges God gives to righteous people. 

 Therefore, you should forsake anything sinful you are still holding on to, and allow Jesus be your Lord and Savior. Simply call upon the name of the Lord today and ask Him to show you mercy. He comes.
