In today’s sermon, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, begins an introductory teaching on Favour.He first emphasizes the importance of valuing the messages God sends to His church. Every sermon is a spiritual meal for believers, the inner workings of God within His family. These messages are prophetic, designed to strengthen faith, add what is missing, and establish believers.Key Reminders on the Word:- Words are spirit and life.- Words impart life.- The Word imparts beyond the laying on of hands.- The Word can deliver a supernatural inheritance.Pastor Shola notes that one key way to mix the Word with faith is through expectation, for everything we need in life is found in the Word. He highlights that even Jesus required certain ingredients to fulfill His earthly assignment:- The Anointing - Wisdom- Favour with God and man (Ephesians 1:17)If Jesus needed these, so do we. Without them, life becomes frustrating. Jesus required favour for people to believe His calling, for His ministry to flourish, and to accomplish His mission. Pastor Shola notes that Favour can be programmed. It is both unmerited and merited at the same time. Favour is the unexplainable factor—the reason people find themselves in places they do not naturally merit.Pastor Shola’s notes these points on Favour:- Favour is the highest purchasing power on earth.- It is more powerful than money.- It will give you what money can never buy.- It opens doors.- It accelerates life and ministry.- Favour is a trading tool—the X factor at every negotiation table.Scriptural Foundations for Favour:- Genesis 1:1–3 – Light was required for creation; this light also represents favour.- Luke 4:18–19 (NIV) – Jesus declared that part of His earthly mission was to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.In concluding the sermon, PS highlights the following truths:- Favour is a divine equalizer and neutralizer—placing everyone on the same level playing field.- Life is frustrating without the favour factor.- Favour eliminates years of pain, stress, and struggle.- Favour can transform your life completely.We pray that as you listen to this sermon, your heart is stirred to believe God for a fresh release of Favour in your life.
