The favor of God is the best thing that can happen to anyone.
When you find favor with God, your life will never remain the same. A moment with the King will change your life forever. When you find favor with God and then with men, everything will just fall in place for you.

In the book of Esther 2:8-15, it was recorded that Esther found favor with the king and she was chosen out of the several maiden that came before the king. If you read from verse 9, of the same chapter; “and the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him and he speedily gave her things for purification”. You can see that when you are favored, everything will work out fine for you. When it is your turn, favor will bring it to pass. When God wants to favor you, He uses your very situation to glorify Himself. What do I mean by this? Before the King called for maidens to be chosen, there was a place to be filled. The reason you are going through your situation now is because God wants to favor you.

Now back to the text, Esther 2:12, the maidens went before the King one after the other, but the King did not choose anyone of them before it got to Esther’s turn. Why, because ‘Esther’ has been ordained to take the position. When it is your turn to get that job, to get a child, a promotion, own your house, nothing can stop it; no demon from the pit of hell can stop it.

Listen to me, the turn of Esther came, and she found favor with the king. Not even the extra things used by the other maidens made the king to choose them. You don’t need to sleep with the chairman/director for you to get a job or get promoted. You don’t need to bribe anyone before you get the contract because God does not need your assistance to favor you. When your turn comes, you will get it.

The bible says, “Heaven and Earth belong to God” (Ps. 24:1). Whether you’re in the North, East, West or South, with God’s favour upon your life, you can begin to possess your possession and become the king of that land. God is working behind the scene for you to be promoted, for you to get married, to get your own children. When it is your turn to shine, nobody can stop it. When it is your turn to get married, no witch or wizard can stop you from getting married. No matter what you are going through right now, hear me child of God, God is saying to you, now is your turn to be favored, now is your turn to get those your heart desires and nothing can stop it.

Are you comparing your life with your mates/friend’s life, in terms of achievement, listen to me, now is your turn, it is not how long you wait that matters, but the timing of God that matters. God will not because of you spoil His ‘C.V’. He is a God of integrity; He has never failed anyone, and will not fail you. Did He say he will give you a child? He will do it. Whatever it is He says He will do, He will do it and now is the time because of God’s favour.

You don’t have to leave your place of blessing. Where you are now is where God wants to bless you. He knows where and when to give it to you. Wait for Him so that you don’t miss out of God’s favor for your life. A word from God for you. It does not matter how many has gone ahead of you in that interview, marriage, own their house, when it is your turn, favor will take you ahead of them. Time and chance happen to everyone. Your chance will definitely come.

The children of Israel had been slaves for a very long time. Thus they were in captivity in the hands of their masters. Their masters hated them so much and made them to work harder than usual but when it was time for God to release and set them free, God said they will not leave Egypt empty handed. What did God do? God gave them favour with their masters to such an extent that whatever the Israelites asked of them the Egyptians gave to them knowing full well that the Israelites were not coming back. Know that God is the same always. What He did for the Israelites He will do for you. He will make those that have risen against you in your political party, office, community, etc, to fall in love with you. Remember that the hearts of kings are in His hands and like the rivers of waters He turneth it to please Himself. Just as God did to pharaoh, so shall He do to everyone that is sitting on top of your blessings. He will make them to favour you and release the blessings to you in Jesus name, amen.
