Topic: *DO WE DESERVE ASKING FOR GOD’S FAVOUR ❓*

Text: Psalm 5:12; 84: 10-12

MESSAGE: Understanding what favour mean is crucial to understanding how it works. The word ‘favour’ was chosen by Bible translator as the closest English word to the original Hebrew “ratsown”, which means “pleasure, delight, favour, goodwill, and acceptance.” Our English word for favour has several meanings which are worth looking at:

❗ Something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act.
❗. Friendly or well-disposed regard; goodwill.
❗ The state of being approved or held in regard.
❗. Excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment.

Most of us understand that when we ask God to do something for us, we’re asking for favour. It’s something that He would do out of His goodwill not because we deserve it. That’s the first definition of favour. But, when we ask God specifically for His favour on our live or over a situation, many of us do not understand what we are really asking. We’re are moving into second, third, and fourth definitions of favour and that’s where thing get a little murky. Being held in high regard; excessive kindness; preferential treatment: are we really supposed to be asking for these things as favour from the Lord?

As we study the Bible, you will notice that there are many people who asked specifically for favour and received it; Jacob, Moses, Ruth, and Nehemiah. Since there is no respect of persons with God, as you ask for His favour today, rest assured that He will answer you. But, let your request for His favour be in line with His goodwill and word.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
A day of favour can be more rewarding than a year of labour.

PRAYER:
Lord, show me your favour and goodwill today.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
2 Chronicle 4-6; Luke 5:17-39
