THE SPIRIT OF FAVOUR IN DESTINY

Then this Daniel was PREFERRED ABOVE the presidents and princes, because an EXCELLENT SPIRIT was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm – Daniel 6:3

LIFE is like a JOURNEY to be commenced, experienced and completed (Pro.23:18). LIFE is like a PROJECT to be pioneered and perfected (Pro.24:3-4). Yet, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:…” (Psa.127:1a). Destiny refers to Life’s Path: the fruitfulness, fulfilment, and finality of processed purpose on life’s path. Destiny is meant to be fulfilled – fully filled! The Spirit of favour lightens the burden of building your “Destiny-house”! In today’s meditation, we see how the Spirit of Excellence distinguished Daniel’s destiny, causing him to be favoured above his contemporaries.

Favour is the divine leverage which helps you to fulfil destiny seamlessly and without stress. Favour adds flavour to your life and mobilizes others to help you in accomplishing your destiny dreams, vision and plans. When the spirit of favour is upon your life, it compels men and spirits to assist you in the pursuit of destiny. Favour spares you the ordeals of needless labour and toiling. Favour endears your countenance to prospective helpers of destiny. It attracts others to help and encourage you. The spirit of disfavour, on the other hand, makes a person’s presence repulsive to those who ought to help.

Without favour, destiny fulfilment may be aborted or needlessly delayed. We’ve meditated on the flavours of favour in the fulfilled destinies of some bible characters. We have noted that Joseph, Samuel and Jesus were not only favoured; they also grew in favour as they advanced from one stage of destiny fulfilment to the other (Gen. 39:6, 21; Sam 2:26; Luke 2:52). Beloved, there is a sure destination for you. The favour of God will ensure that your expectation of reaching destination is never disappointed. Prayerfully trust the Lord to enjoy favour with God and with men.
