Approval For Us
So many people in this day and age never received the blessing from their mother or father. They never felt like they received the approval and encouragement they so deeply desired.
Your earthly father may not have given you his blessing, but your heavenly Father is rejoicing over you! He’s saying, “I’m proud of you. I love you. You are amazing. You are talented. You are beautiful. You’re going to do great things in life!” He’s releasing favor and hope into your future. Today, no matter what’s happened in your past, no matter what anybody else has said to you or about you, know that your Father God loves you with an everlasting love. He’s proud of you, and He is singing over you. Receive His love today. Receive His approval today. Receive hope today. Have confidence and strength to move forward because you have the blessing of your heavenly Father!

Favor's Favorite
One definition of the word “favor” is an advantage for success. When you put God first, when you obey His commands, you open the door for His favor — you have the advantage for success! Even if someone may have wronged you and it looks like they have the upper hand, even if it looks like things are never going to change, you need to keep reminding yourself, “I have an advantage. God is in control of my destiny. He’s fighting my battles for me. He is my vindicator. And it’s just a matter of time before things change in my favor.”
I love the scripture in Hebrews that says, “Don’t cast away your confidence.” One translation says, “…for payday is coming.” In the difficult times, you have to remind yourself that payday is on its way. God is a faithful God. If you’ll keep doing the right thing, honoring Him and expecting His favor, God has promised He will pay you back. He will restore everything in your life that the enemy has stolen so you can live the abundant life He has promised to you!

Just Have Fatih
Have faith in God today. He holds all the answers. He sets miracles into motion. He will begin to change things in your favor.
It is a good thing when we have done all we can do. That’s when God steps in and takes over. If only we would come to that point sooner than later. We get all tied up in knots, stressed out, frustrated and worried; about the situations we are facing in life. When we allow God to have His way in our life we will see miracles, blessings and favor. God doesn’t always remove us from the situation, but He will never abandon us either. He will take us through the storms of life. Never doubt the love that He has for us. He will never put more on us than we can take. Have trust, in other words, trust God today. He does know it all and will be there for you. Deliverance, healing, and hope are in your immediate future.

Be Expecting
Are you expecting God to fill you and increase you beyond measure? One thing we have to realize is that negative thinking closes us off to what God wants to do in our lives.
If you go around thinking “Well, I don’t think I’ll ever meet my sales goals this year with the economy like it is;” or “I don’t think I’ll ever get promoted. I’m not that qualified;” or “I don’t think I’ll ever get well,” then the problem is that your mouth is barely open. But Jesus said, “According to your faith, it will be done unto you.” He might as well have said, “If you’ve got a cup, I’ll fill you with a cup level of blessing. If you’ve got a bucket, I’ll fill you with a bucket level of blessing.” Jesus is saying today, “Why don’t you take the limits off? Why don’t you believe for supernatural opportunities? Why don’t you go out each day expecting increase and promotion?” Expect favor, expect peace, expect joy. If you’ll go out each day expecting far-and-beyond favor, if you’ll “open wide your mouth,” you won’t be disappointed. He’ll fill your cup until it overflows and lead you into the abundant life He has in store for you!

Right On!
When God laid out the plan for your life, He lined up the right people, the right circumstances, and the right breaks. In your future, He’s already released favor, supernatural opportunities, and divine connections.
The good breaks you need have already been preordained to come across your path. If you will stay in faith and go out each day and be a person of excellence, you’ll have times where it’s as if you just stumbled into God’s blessings. You’ll look back and think, “How did I get to where I am? I’m not the most qualified, but I got the promotion. I didn’t deserve that break, but someone went out of their way to help me.” What happened? You walked into that favor that was already poured out on your path. Today, no matter what you may be facing, focus on moving forward. He has already ordered your steps and arranged good things for you. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep hoping because there is favor in store for your future!

Blessed to Bless
No matter where you are in life, or what’s happening around you, start looking for more of God’s favor. Don’t settle for where you are.
Don’t settle for just barely getting by. Believe that God is good, and He wants to do more in and through you. I find it strange that some preachers will preach against prosperity and then ask their congregation for more money. Makes no sense. God is out for our good not our harm. He does want to pour out His favor on us. It can come in many different forms. Money is one of the least of the favor of God, but it is in the blessing of His favor. We have so much that is right there for us, but we stop before we receive it. Receive God’s favor and His blessing today, so that you can be a blessing to others. If you don’t seem to be in the blessing and favor today, it may be because you just want it all for yourself. Not going to happen. God will bless you only so that you can be a blessing to others.
