FAVOR< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Esther 2:1-18

Favor is what makes the difference in every journey of life. Favor is not a fiction; it is not a fantasy; it is not a failure; is not a fraud; it is not fruitless; is not frustration. Above all, it is not fake; it is real and when God locates you with favor, you will become eternally and forever set for His glory. The exception from this is if you dislocate yourself from His favor. Favor is defined as: a grace, friendly or obligating act that is freely granted. In the Bible days, so many were located by the grace of God for favor and today God is still locating men for favor. A young lady in captivity, brought up by her uncle because her father and mother passed away while she was young, had a encounter with the favor of God and the story of her life was eternally and permanently lifted up for the glory of God. Esther was minding her business in her location. She was not soliciting for any position neither was she looking for a husband when heaven smiled on her because the current queen had made a wrong move that violated her position. The hour that Queen Vashti failed to honor the calling of King Ahasuerus was also the hour a new done was activated for Esther. It could be that somewhere some situation or a situation has triggered your favor, but there is a need for grace to continue to remain patient in location for you to enter into your season of favor. It happened to Esther and it could be that your miracle is on the way also. There was a need for a new queen after Queen Vashti had kicked her position by disobeying King Ahasuerus. The king made a decree that would bring forth a new queen and a new queen had to be chosen from among many women. Esther was among the ones that were taken to the custodian of the women. Esther 2:9, ÒNow the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the kingÕs palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.Ó From the moment the grace of activated favor kicked into life for Esther, she had no need for begging for anything because she was getting all that she needed and all that was the best for her. Esther had no need for a godfather because the Father God was operating on her behalf. When the favor of God is in place, every need will become abundantly in place. What you never thought of to be a need will become available for you. Favor is not a merit; it is God meeting up with you. Favor has no age barrier or any form of discrimination. The bottom line of it all is pray to God for His favor. He has in His power to give and to take. It is never too late for you to be favored because He is a faithful God.
