Activate His Favor

In the Scripture, Nehemiah had a dream to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. They had been torn down, and the people living there were unprotected. This dream seemed impossible. Nehemiah was living in exile a thousand miles from Jerusalem, working as a cupbearer to the king. He didn’t have any influence, connections, resources, or funding, but when God gives you a dream, He lines up everything you need. When Nehemiah asked the king for permission to go, for protection in his travels, and for all the supplies and money for the project, the king granted his request.

When you face situations that seem impossible, do as Nehemiah did and start declaring, “The gracious hand of God is on my life.” The dreams that God has put in your heart, you need to speak favor over them. Those problems that look impossible, declare that the favor of God is turning them around. His favor will help you defy the odds. The question is, are you going to activate this favor?

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for the dreams You put in my heart. Thank You that You’ve equipped me and empowered me to accomplish all of Your promises, even the ones that seem impossible. I declare that Your gracious hand of favor is helping to take me to new levels. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
