FAVOR IN THE SIGHT
OF ENEMIES
And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight
of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they
plundered the Egyptians. Exodus 12:36
Favor is a
preferential treatment meted out to you even when you have done nothing to deserve
it. It is that special grace God deposits on His children so that they always
stay steps ahead of their colleagues. Beloved, God has called you into His favor.
Today, He promises to favor you even in the sight of your enemies.
The memory verse
says God gave the people of Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians so much
that the Israelites received their requests and even plundered the Egyptians.
God caused the same people who oppressed the Israelites to favor them beyond
measure. The Egyptians probably may have thought that they were trying to help
the Israelites by favoring them when actually it was the finger of God
instructing them. The Egyptians were left with no choice than to favor the
people that God has selected and ordained to be priests and kings unto Him.
David re-enacts this event by singing ‘He
prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies.’
Today, God will
cause the people who despised you and rejected you to favor you. They will
inevitably prosper your cause. Solomon, in Proverbs 16:7, said ‘when a man's ways please the LORD, he makes
even his enemies to be at peace with him.’ The people who didn’t want to
see your face in your office, in your school, in your locality or even in your
family will begin to favor you. They that thought evil against you will
announce your promotion and they that denied you will now accept you.
Prayer
I love You Lord for
You have caused even my enemies to live at peace with me. I thank You that You
have caused my enemies to favor me today. May my life overwhelm and plunder the
devil and his cohorts as I walk in favor and increase. I thank You for Your
favor in Jesus’ name. Amen.
