Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Favour is defined as an approval, a kindly helpful act beyond what is due , to endorse, preference, make easier for one. Jesus Christ grew in stature, in wisdom and favour with God and man .
He became close to God through prayer, scriptures and keeping God’s commandments. He grew also in favour with man. Jesus knew how to create relationship, forgiving sinners and serving man. Through this,He increased in favour and other virtues. That’s why we see crowd following Him wherever He went.
If Jesus needed favour to succeed, then we need it more in our lives . What beautifies our destiny is favour. Every child of God qualifies for favour. When we receive Jesus Christ , He gives us His righteousness and qualifies us for divine favour. 2Co 5:21-22- We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ.
In the midst of adversaries, favour was able to produce honour in the life of Daniel (Dan 6;3). The invalid who had been sick was singled out for healing when favour located her( Luk 13:11-13 ). Despite his age and status, God’s favour produced recognition in the life of David ( 2Sa 7:8 ). Favour is a destiny beautifier. May it locate you today and place you where God desires you to be.
