Luke 2:14; Luke 1:28

Leverage Devotional For Today Message:
The favour of God signifies God’s approval of man, made possible by God’s grace. Through Jesus, you now have acceptance with God. Jesus, entering this world, brought God’s favour upon you. It’s crucial to understand that God is pleased with you; hence, His favour rests upon you. While God may not be pleased with everything you do, He is pleased with your person, and His favour has rested on you on earth, as our opening scripture declares. God’s favour chooses, loves, and accepts you, fighting your battles. It serves as both your approval and defence, acknowledging you despite your shortcomings and defending you against attacks. The favour of God guides you through challenges, leading you to your destination.
Never doubt God’s favour upon your life. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Believe that God loves you, that He’s pleased with you, and His favour is upon you. Know that you are highly favoured of God. Beloved, regardless of past mistakes, the favour of God is upon you. It’s not reserved for the perfect but for the imperfect. The goal of favour is to bring you to the place of correction and acceptance. Remember God’s favour, hold on to it, and repent when needed. Never doubt God’s favour in your heart. Settle this conviction in your heart and enjoy a peaceful life.
My Solid Front (Confession)
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of your dear Son, Jesus Christ, who has brought Your favour upon my life. Now, I’m beginning to enjoy favour like never before. I declare that I am highly favoured of God, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Further Meditation: Isaiah 61:1-7, Psalm 5:12
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame
you will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace
you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
