WALKING IN UNCOMMON FAVOUR


Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
There are three types of Favour:
1.       Those who fight and lose. (No Favour)
They fight and lose because they walk in disobedience.

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.Joshua 7:1
2.       Those who fight and win.(Favour)
They fight and win because God fights with them
·         And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. 36Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 37David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. 1 Samuel 17:34-37

3.       Those who don’t get in the fight at all, because God fights for them. (Uncommon Favour)
1 Samuel 5:3-4

·         And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.1 Chronicles 13:14
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. 7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands. Acts 12:6-7
But thussaith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. Isaiah 49:25

The enemy of uncommon favour
1.       Disloyalty
If you cheat on someone who is willing to do anything for you, you’ve actually cheated yourself out of true loyalty.
·         Loyalty is strong feeling of support or allegiance. Loyalty is devotion and faithfulness to a cause.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:17
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
·         A proud man is rebellious, unteachable and mock people.

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness [that] speaks lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19
