BIBLE IN A YEAR: SOS 7 - 8
WHEN MISTAKES DON’T COUNT Sunday, November 28, 2010
MEMORIZE: “Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?” (Is. 43:13) READ: Genesis 18:9-15 Another indicator of the arrival of your time of divine favor is that God overlooks your shortcomings. Doubt, fear and unbelief - three major terminators of destiny will suddenly be set aside when your time to receive God’s favor has come. Ordinarily, Sarah’s laughter in today’s reading regarding God’s promise was enough to stop her since she did not receive that promise with faith (Heb. 4:2), yet, because it was her time of favor, instead of hindering it, it rather propelled it; in fact, God celebrated her doubt and the child of promise was named Isaac - laughter! One thing we learn from this is that the same weapon Satan would normally use to withhold your blessing will stop being a weapon against you. It suddenly loses its power to hinder you because of divine favor.  In Isaiah 43:13, the Lord says, “Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?” When your time of favor comes, nobody can hinder God from working because whatever He is doing will not be based on your limitations or performance but on His ability and Almightiness.  At such a time, God just wants to prove that He is Almighty.  When your day comes, what you do not have -certificate, expert knowledge, connection with influential people, money, appropriate skill, etc. will not hinder your breakthrough. In addition, when the time of your favor comes, God keeps your helper troubled until you receive the help in his custody.  God gave Joseph’s helper a frightening dream so that he could seek solution from Joseph. When the time of your favor comes, God will specially design a problem and put the solution into your hands so that no matter what happens, all roads will lead to Rome - to you! God can do just anything for the one whose turn for divine favor has come. This season, the Lord will design a problem and put its only key in your hands. Those in authority will have a challenge that only you can fix. Wherever you are, they shall declare a search party for you until they find you. The Lord has chosen you for favor this season. It shall be well with you. ACTION POINT: Father, thank You for Your divine favor.  Oh Lord, let my day of favor meet me in Your will, not in disobedience. N.
