Our opening scripture is culled from an interesting scene when Pharaoh finally bowed to release the children of Israel after the plague of the death of the first born in Egypt. The children of Israel borrowed much treasures as they required from the Egyptians. Prophetically, God had said to Abraham in Genesis 15:14 (NIV), "But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions". How do mourning people lend such great substance without collateral? Our opening scripture gives us an answer to this question, "And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians". Favour channels good towards you. When favour operates, people may not even know why they are doing such good thing towards you. It's a spiritual force of God's grace that pulls what is good towards you.

1 Samuel 16:21-23 (NIV) records about the favour David experienced before King Saul "David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers". Favour causes people to like you and want to associate with you. Jesus also experienced this in abundance in His earthly days. Luke 2:52 tells us, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man". Mark 12:37 records, "The large crowd enjoyed hearing Jesus and listened to Him with delight". Favour causes people to enjoy and delight in you and what you do. Favour causes people to give you their special attention. Do you know that in Christ Jesus you have grace heaped upon grace? John 1:16 (TPT) declares, "And from the overflow of his fullness we received grace heaped upon more grace!" Favour is a product of God's grace.

Live every day with the consciousness of this blessing of favour. It will get you opportunities that don't match with your qualification. It will get you a job that doesn't match with your experience. When favour plays out, procedures and laid requirements are suspended for your sake. This doesn't mean you should not pursue progress in qualifications. Even today this favour is speaking for you.
