Description

As Christians there are 2 major areas, we must find favour in: favour with God and favour with man. The clearest definition of favour is simply when God is with a person. As we walk with God, he will favour us in a supernatural way. But to receive favour this from God, we must obey him and do so promptly! Our obedience paves a way for us. As we obey, step into higher levels of favour!

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:11] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. It is a new day for somebody. God bless you. I told you yesterday that it was so strong in my heart to share on favor.

[0:26] Listen, on earth, in life, you need favor. You need favor big time. Even, guess what? Even God, when God himself as a human being, he came to be born.

[0:42] When he became a human being, when God became a human being, even God himself said, I can't do well without favor. So God, Bible said Jesus Christ grew in favor in Luke chapter 2 verse 52.

[0:55] Jesus Christ, he grew, he grew up. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor, not only with God, but with man.

[1:07] Two areas of favors we need, favor with God and favor with man. But what you should target more is the favor of God.

[1:17] Jesus said, the Father has not left me because I do those things that please him. In the book of John chapter, I think 528 or so, or 829, somewhere there.

[1:32] He said, the Father has not left me because I do the things that please him. Because I do the things that please him. He hasn't left me alone.

[1:43] Now, favor, the clearest definition of favor is God with a person. When God is with you, that's why the Apostle Paul said, if God be for us, what can be against us?

[1:59] You are talking about victory. Oh, Romans chapter 8 verse 31. If God be for us, what can be against us? Who? Who? What? Favor, another way to say favor is God with a person.

[2:09] God is with a person. Joseph didn't do anything wrong. He didn't do anything wrong. His brothers envied him. Listen, as they envy you, God will be favoring you.

[2:23] Amen. This is a good one. As they envy you, just focus and walk with God. Obey his words. Do what he said you should do.

[2:34] Walk with him. As you walk with him, he'll be favoring you. As they envy you, he'll be favoring you. As I see God favoring you supernaturally. Amen. I see God favoring you strangely.

[2:46] Strange favors. Strange favors. From tonight, I'm walking in strange favor. I'm walking in strange favors.

[3:00] I'm walking in often. Working in unusual favors. I'm walking in unusual favors. in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. You will walk in favor.

[3:13] You will walk in no ordinary favor, but favor that doesn't make sense where money comes to you in a golden pot. Favor that does not make sense.

[3:26] You will walk in that favor. Listen, it is not everybody. Let me tell you my own story. Years ago, I was looking for a job and I applied for a job somewhere.

[3:39] My CV was there and I didn't hear from them. After several weeks, I got a call to come because they need me urgently to come for interview and start their job.

[3:52] They have actually given me the job, but I should come for interview and come and start. So I went. And the one who interviewed me told me, you applied for a long time.

[4:02] the previous manager who was here, he was messing things up. So he was fired. And when he was fired, we saw your application buried under some documents somewhere and we pulled it out.

[4:17] Some people need to be fired for... Some people keep their jobs. You won't get their job. I mean, if Herman stays in that position, Mordecai will never rise.

[4:38] Herman must lose his job for Mordecai to rise into that position. Yeah. That guy lost his job. Now, two things I want to draw your attention to.

[4:50] When my application got there, I didn't find favor before him. I'm sure maybe he saw my name and he said, what's the...

[5:00] Atui, atui, atui, atui, atui, why this African people in Utah is a way. At times, they don't even give you a chance to listen to what you've got to say.

[5:14] Your name alone, your background alone, you agree. One of our pastors right now, he does a very fantastic job. Amazing job. Supernatural. God gave him that favor.

[5:26] And I think he... Before he got the job, I think, where was he living? In... Outside London or somewhere in Crowley also. I forgot where he was living.

[5:37] And now that he does the job, we was with some key people that were making a decision in the city. And somebody's documents came and they look at the postcode.

[5:48] They said, Peckham, they put you aside. They threw it away. They said, Peckham. And he realized it was only God who gave him favor. He had moved out of Peckham before he applied for that job. Yeah.

[5:59] Wow. Pastor, I'm not speaking the truth. Pastor, it is the truth. Then he realized, I... So sometimes your postcode will deny you a job.

[6:12] Sometimes where you live alone, you will never know and no one will ever tell you. That is when favor is... You run out of favor. But what I'm talking about is even with the same postcode, where no one gets a job from that postcode, where no one gets a job from that background, where no one gets that kind of job with that kind of certificate, favor is coming upon you and you shall secure it.

[6:35] You shall secure it. You shall secure that marriage. You shall step into that marriage. You shall step into that contract. You shall step into that position. In the mighty name of Jesus, if you are the one I'm talking about, shall they live in a man?

[6:49] Amen. Amen. Yeah. Cover. I didn't have favor before the guy. But because there was something behind me that was stronger than who he was, the favor...

[7:02] I had... Listen, I didn't have favor with that boss who was removed, manager, but I had favor with God. And I was working my favor with God. Listen, it doesn't matter who doesn't like you.

[7:15] Don't focus your energy there. Focus your energy and work, work, work your favor with God. Work it, work it, work it. Jesus said, I have... The Father has not left me because I do the things that please Him.

[7:30] So how do you work your favor with God? Do what pleases God. Thank you, Jesus. God has an obsession. The way some of us do have obsession, some of us, our obsession is your eyelashes.

[7:43] Some of us, your obsession is your wig. Some of us, your obsession is, I mean, something else, your house, your car, your whatever. You are so obsessed with this guy.

[7:55] He just, when you see his number alone, you begin to feel sleepy. Hey, wow. I'm out. My God, that's shaka, the barrier, that's shaka.

[8:09] So, God also has an obsession and God's obsession is two ways. One, He's obsessed with being believed.

[8:21] When you believe Him, He just, He just has to do something. God has an obsession and His obsession is to be believed. When you believe God, God, God says, He has committed me.

[8:32] Instead of committing sin, commit God. Commit God. When you believe Him, you commit Him. He doesn't have it. He wants to act immediately. And God has an obsession to be obeyed.

[8:47] When you obey Him, He just likes you. He just likes you. When you obey God, He likes you. When you obey God, He likes you.

[8:58] Listen, God likes to be obeyed. That's why as soon as He brought them out from Egypt, He gave them the Ten Commandments and commandments. And can I shock you? That was not the first Ten Commandments God gave.

[9:12] The first Ten Commandments God gave was to creation. It was all in Genesis chapter 1. And God commanded. God commanded. You check it 10 times. God commanded and commanded.

[9:23] He commanded nature. He just likes to be obeyed. So when you obey God, you attract God. When you obey God, He defends you.

[9:34] When you obey God, He stands for you. That's why Jesus said, seek ye first the kingdom of God. Some people can't wait to go and watch a movie as we are on this platform. Wow.

[9:45] Some people can't wait to be, you seek ye first. Some people can't be bothered. What's this of us in? I can't be bothered. Listen, you knew you were traveling overseas and you know we are going to start the fasting.

[9:58] But you know, when you are overseas, you can't fast because they'll be showering you with food and parties. And you'll be able to fast. You'll be able to join there. And you prioritize those things against starting a year with fasting.

[10:13] Because listen, haven't you realized this year is very, very, it looks very bleak. last year, coronavirus came. No one has yet found out what this year is going to come, come with.

[10:26] The chief American scientist, he said the vaccines that are coming, you, after you take the vaccines, you have to still wear your face mask because you have to be protected from other things again.

[10:40] What other things again? What other things again? Because we are not sure. We are not sure. So we have to, everybody must be vaccinated.

[10:50] And after you receive the vaccine, you, you, you have to still protect yourself. You have to still, because there is still being, so why the vaccine? They are not even sure what's going to happen.

[11:02] Look at, in United Kingdom, yesterday or two days ago, our prime minister, the government had to take us into the whole nationwide lockdown. It's a serious situation.

[11:14] Nationwide lockdown. But when people are, when they are saying, there's a casting down, you will say, there's a lifting up. Hallelujah. Amen. It's fine. This lockdown is working for you.

[11:26] It's working for you. Look, you are fasting. You are fasting. You can't even spend time in your room, under your duvet, praying, praying, closing your eyes, praying. And then sometimes you sleep into, you slept into sleep.

[11:38] When you sleep into sleep, you, you wake up one way or the other. You hear the noise and then you wake up. I start, keep going, keep going, keep going. This is, normally, when I pray like that, I see so much.

[11:50] That's when I see a lot. God begins to drop things into your spirit. God begins to drop. I'm showing you, when you have favor with God, you have favor with man. How do you get favor with God?

[12:02] By obeying God. There are things that God will prompt you to do. Obey. I like the lady's testimony. That's quite powerful, you know. She said, after sharing her testimony yesterday, she felt convicted in her spirit to take, it's not a job related, just to obey, to take the steps.

[12:22] So she decided to obey. As soon as she obeyed, not knowing there was a better job with more salary coming, which she never knew about. your obedience will make a pivot for you.

[12:37] He says that, follow the angel, obey his voice. In Exodus chapter 23, verse 20, he said, my angel will go before you, but he said, make sure to obey his voice.

[12:51] Obey his voice. Follow him and obey. Behold, I send my angel before thee to keep thee in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. God has said, as for what I will do, it's settled.

[13:03] But how you will get there, an angel will take you. I will send a messenger. Obey his, look at the next voice. Beware of him and obey his voice. Provoke him not, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him.

[13:18] Obey his voice. Look at the next verse. Obey his voice. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak. So he'll be speaking on my behalf.

[13:29] I'll be speaking to you through a vessel. God is fond and he's used to speaking through vessels. Vessels. I believe that as we are speaking, we have come to work in favor. But as I'm speaking, God is speaking to somebody.

[13:42] I know God is speaking to you. God is speaking to you. God is speaking to somebody right after this service. Delete that gentleman's number or that lady's number from your phone.

[13:52] It has become one of your major, major, it's your Achilles heel. Satan is using it against you. And Satan has told you that if you let her go, if you let him go, you will die.

[14:06] Because the way you feel about him, the way you tell Satan, get behind me, Satan. Maybe when you delete his number and call, she will not know you pick it. So block the number and if you don't put the name there, you put don't answer or no answer.

[14:22] Danger, danger call, bad call or toxic. You can put toxic call, toxic call, toxic call. Change her name or his name to toxic call.

[14:33] More dangerous than COVID. COVID. That call has tested positive of coronavirus. It's bringing corona. Yeah, you can change it and save it as corona, corona, corona, corona.

[14:52] Yes. I know I'm prophesying. I know I'm prophesying. As you obey God, you step into a higher level of favor. Because, listen, Joseph was put in prison.

[15:05] Babu says that you're sold into potty festivals. Genesis chapter 39, verse 2. Look at verse 2. Genesis 39, verse 2. He was in potty festivals.

[15:17] And the Lord was with, you see what I was talking about? And he became a prostitute man and was with him in the house of his master. When God is with you, that's what brings the favor. The Lord was with Joseph.

[15:30] I see God will be with you. Amen. God is with you. God is with you. So, see, see, sister, bro, because God is with you, don't drive him away.

[15:42] Think about it. Anything you are doing, think about the consequences going to have on your relationship with God who is with you. There are things when you do, Bible says, you grieve the Holy Spirit.

[15:54] You grieve him and he turns his face away. You grieve him. He's with you by his turn. Grieve not the Holy Spirit. Don't grieve God. Today, in our reading, didn't you see that? In our reading, Bible says that Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5, they came to lie.

[16:09] Verse 3, he said, why has Satan filled your heart to lie against the Holy Spirit? Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy? They were lying to Peter, but they didn't know that it was actually the Holy Spirit who was awake in the church.

[16:25] And by lying to Peter, by not treating Peter, by treating Peter in a certain way, who was the leader at that time, he, they were treating the Holy Spirit like that because the Holy Spirit was using him to build the work.

[16:41] Wow. He said, you have lied to the Holy Spirit. Don't grieve God. So you have to do things. That's why when I was encouraging everybody to do the fasting, I said, watch out against things that will come and disrupt you.

[16:54] Sometimes, you know, your cousin or your brother or your sister. Sometimes it happens with our brothers and sisters. They are not spiritual. And you bought these bananas you are about to use to break your fast. And that's the only thing they will eat.

[17:07] There's watermelon. There's watermelon. There was bread. There are apples. There are oranges. There are everything. And the one you bought, the banana you bought, the only thing you bought for your breaking of fast.

[17:22] When it was 5.30, you saw him. He has finished it. And when you say, oh, that's my banana. He began to insult you rather. What is it? All of you are hypocrites. You know, that will really make you show him where power lies.

[17:37] You see what I'm talking about? It will make you show him where power lies. And sometimes, because they know you are born again, they will behave in a way to provoke you. Don't react.

[17:48] Just ignore them. Because this is not the time for provocations. Allow provocations to have the better part of you. Your wife, your wife, your wife. This is when she's doing things that you have always said.

[18:00] My darling, when you do this, when you do this, it just really disrupts me. It really bothers me. That's when she will even do it times 10. That's when your husband will do it.

[18:11] You have told that this is when your mother calls. It's not that I don't want to talk to her. But sometimes, I'm not in the mood. And then your mother calls. Then he comes. He says, oh, hold on, hold on. Oh, you have to speak to my wife.

[18:22] Then he comes and gives the phone to you and dump it on you. And it's a video call. And you are not in a good shape. You've told him. And he did that in your fasting.

[18:33] You see? You just talk to him. Hello, ma'am. Ma'am. And when you are speaking, your natural, your human nature will be boiling. But you know what? Don't allow it to boil into your spirit.

[18:45] When you finish, don't just know that Satan tried to use the situation to provoke you. Okay? So Satan will vex you to move you into a state that can destabilize your spiritual sensitivity and your walk with the Holy Spirit.

[19:01] Am I talking to somebody? Am I talking to somebody? These things are very important, especially those of you who live with people. And those of you who don't live with people, Bible says, it's not good for man to be alone.

[19:12] No, it's not good. Because usually when you are alone, you are not safe. Most of us, you can't just be by yourself alone because your temptations increase too much when you are alone.

[19:28] When you are fasting, as soon as we break the fast, something tells you, come on, come on, come on, log on, log on, come on, go on, go on, log on, send a text, send a WhatsApp, go on, and it's like, you want to stop, but something is pulling you.

[19:42] It's like something comes to hold your hand and begins to type where you are. Why? Because you live alone. Because you live alone, you have too much freedom. Too much freedom.

[19:54] Some of you, thank God for your wife. Had it not been for your wife, the things that Satan would have tempted you with, especially in this time, even when your wife is there, look at what he's trying to do. So, you have to be on your guard.

[20:16] Be alert. Be vigilant for your adversary, the devil, roams above, seeking whom he might devour. He's roping around like a lion, seeking whom he might devour.

[20:28] Be vigilant, be sober and vigilant, be watchful. Jesus said, watch and pray so you don't fall into temptation. Matthew 26, verse 20, watch and pray so you don't fall in.

[20:41] If you don't watch and pray temptation, you will slide into it effortlessly. you will not fall into temptation. Amen.

[20:53] So, let me just round this thing up. Joseph had favor in the house of Potiphar. Look at verse 6, Genesis chapter 30, 39 verse 6. Genesis chapter 30, 39 verse 6.

[21:04] It says that, Joseph was a good person and well favored.

[21:18] Ah, you will be well favored, though. In your family, in your marriage. One of the things, brothers and sisters, those of you who are not married, that's why you do not rush into marriage before, without God's guidance.

[21:33] But if you are not married, you have to be praying that God, when I'm married, let me find favor with my wife. Let me find favor with my husband. So that, the things about you that are very annoying, it will annoy them.

[21:47] Even when they are annoying, they'll be okay with it. I'm telling you, what you don't want is you are married and they're annoying things about you really, really, really irritates to a higher degree your husband or your wife.

[22:02] It irritates him so much. It irritates her so much. No, it's not good. You ask one question, you get response of attack. Why, why, why?

[22:13] Every time. Because he's too irritated. He is too irritated. Meanwhile, the head that has been growing, overgrowing this, it's not you who made it grow. It's that natural.

[22:24] But he just can't stand. A wife who has married a husband who snores like a hippopotamus. Snores. One day, a certain man told me, my wife, I was asleep. I could hear pow, someone slap me.

[22:36] My wife slapped me. Hey. And it became fright in the room. Why, why do you do that? Why do you do that? He said, I can't sleep. I can't because of you. I can't sleep. I can't sleep every night.

[22:47] Every night I'm suffering. I'm struggling to sleep because of you. But he does, he make himself snort. Does he make it? What do you think marriage is about? When you say, I like you, I like you. And like, when you were chasing romance, you didn't know that there are other things that come with romance.

[23:01] Other things. There are so many other budgeted things that come, that are behind romance. That's why you don't have to fall into romance without commitment.

[23:16] that person must commit because when they discover what is about you, they might run away. They might run away because, you know, nobody's perfect. Some of the things about you, people don't know.

[23:28] Outsiders don't know. They never know that you, you wee on the bed. They never know. But you look so pretty, you know, but nobody will know.

[23:39] And it's good, nobody knows. But before, before you let go so fully, don't let them know too much about you. I'm not saying hide things onto marriage.

[23:50] No, that's not what I mean. What I mean is, let me, let me explain myself. Do not jump deep into the deep end of romance without proper commitment.

[24:00] Okay. Because the person might find you, might be familiar with you and it's enough. She's had enough of you. It's not had enough of you. Anyway, you will find favor before your husband.

[24:13] You will find favor before your wife. Anyone who is married, who is married and you can tell that your spouse can't stand you. I pray that may God give you favor before that spouse.

[24:23] May God give you favor before that spouse. Amen. Joseph was well favored. You should, in fact, when someone asks you, how are you to tell them well favored. Well favored. Bible talks about how Samuel had favor with the Lord.

[24:37] Genesis, first Samuel chapter 2 verse 26. Samuel had favor with the Lord. So as I spoke, you can have favor with the Lord. Moses said, if I found favor with you. So you can have favor with both.

[24:48] Samuel had favor with the Lord and with man. Is that not the same thing that happened to Jesus in Luke chapter 2 verse 52? So you can have favor with the Lord and with man. But did you see here, Samuel put back, Samuel, first Samuel chapter 26, 22 verse 26.

[25:02] Quickly, please. It says that Samuel had favor both with the Lord. It's always better to start with the Lord. Some people try to start with the man. Start with the Lord.

[25:12] Start with the Lord. And Bible says, if a man's ways please the Lord, he will make even his enemies to be at peace with him in proverbs. If a man's ways please the Lord, he will make even his enemies to be at peace.

[25:24] So start with the Lord. If a man's ways please the Lord, he will make even his enemies to be at peace with him. Because once you please the Lord, But remember, without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord. How do you please the Lord?

[25:35] By faith through obedience. Faith in obedience. Demonstrate your faith through obedience. So without faith, it's not possible to please the Lord. Jesus said, I please the Father so he has not left me.

[25:46] How does he please the Father? He said, I do not do anything except that which I see the Father do. So you only please the Lord through obedience. I told you God is obsessed to be believed and to be obeyed.

[25:58] So as you obey him, he will favor you in the name of Jesus. What's the favor of God? There's so much. There's so much. Esther was favored. Nehemiah was favored. Joshua was favored. People were favored.

[26:09] But let me tell you, let me just end with this. That in Psalm 30, verse 5 and verse 7. I like that one. Psalm 30, verse 5. The favor of God can do this for you.

[26:20] Bible says that in his anger, for his anger endures but for a moment. In his favor, his life. Did you see that? When you have favor with God, you will enjoy life.

[26:31] When somebody says, I want to enjoy my life. Listen, the way to enjoy your life is to have favor with God. Because in his favor, his life. That's when weeping. Weeping, you are not permitted to weep constantly.

[26:44] To sorrow permanently. It doesn't last. Your challenges won't last when you have favor with God. Because in his favor, his life. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody. I prophesy.

[26:54] Nobody on this platform will be diagnosed of any terminal illness in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. You will not be diagnosed of any terminal illness.

[27:05] And no illness is permitted to be said to be lifetime in your life in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. It's every lifetime illness in your life in the name of Jesus.

[27:16] Amen. Amen. So shall it be. So back to Psalm 30, verse 5. In his favor, his life. Look at verse 7. Look at verse 7.

[27:27] By thy favor, thou hast made my own, my mountain to stand strong. Did you see that? It is, you see, what's your mountain? Your mountain is the area of your strength.

[27:40] Okay. So you finish, your certificate is your mountain. That's where you used to get a job. Ideally. You see, you, maybe there's something that you, you know how to sing.

[27:51] That's your, your mountain. You know how to cook. That might be your, your mountain. Like something that you know how to do that can sell you. That can stand out tall amongst all other things.

[28:02] That can be identified with you for favor. Okay. Whatever makes you stand out amongst others, you can classify it in this instance as your mountain.

[28:13] And he says that by your favor, by God's favor, he makes, by thy favor, thou hast made my mountain to stand strong. Thou didst hide thy faith and I was troubled.

[28:24] My mountain, by your favor, you make my mountain to stand strong. In other words, through God's favor, the things that sell you will be highlighted in your life. The favor, the favor of God will bring like a highlighter.

[28:38] You see, the favor of God will bring like a highlighter and then highlight, highlight something in your life. So things that people wouldn't notice quickly. The good things that people should have focused on to favor you, which they wouldn't have noticed.

[28:52] The favor of God will make them notice those things. How did Joseph come out of prison? They remembered that at least there's a guy in prison who interprets dreams. Therefore, the Bible says, and the battler forgot about Joseph.

[29:05] He forgot. But because of the favor of God, his mountain is too strong. And in the crisis, they remembered this, the only guy who can do this. They went and brought him. The king said, bring him, bring him.

[29:17] Because what? His mountain was standing strong. The king sent and brought him from the chains. In Psalm 105, I think verse 18 and 19. He says, somewhere from 18, 19, 20, 21.

[29:30] He says that the king sent for him and loosed him from his chains. Yeah. The king sent for him. Joseph. When his time came, the king, he sent a man before them.

[29:41] Joseph. No, go. Where is it? The king sent him. It's 18 or 19. Okay, quickly. Yeah. The king sent and released him. The ruler of the people let him go free.

[29:52] It doesn't matter who put you in prison. The king himself said, now is your time to go free. Someone shout favor. Favor. And prophesy favor into your life.

[30:04] Amen. Listen. If there is something you shouldn't lack in life, it's favor. It's favor. Even if you don't have qualification, make sure you have favor.

[30:19] Yeah. Yeah. Look, I'm telling you, one of the things that helps me is favor. Favor. I have big favor with my wife. What? The way my wife likes me.

[30:32] Favor. May that be your testimony. Amen. And two days ago, so I was telling her, I feel so blessed to have you in my life.

[30:44] You make life easier. She's such a wonderful woman. And she has also won my favor so much. I'm thinking, what can I even buy for this woman?

[30:55] Anything. I want to buy, but I don't, because I'm not yet there to be able to buy a house for her. You see, I'll get there. I'm talking about more beautiful. Amen. One day, one day I'll be there. But I'm thinking, what can I even buy for my wife?

[31:08] This woman. She does favor. May your husband be thinking about what can he do for you to make you very happy and to honor you? What can I do to honor you?

[31:19] Like the king said to him, what can be done to the man the king chooses to honor? Hey! May they say that about you. Amen.

[31:30] May your boss be thinking. May your boss be thinking. May your father be thinking. Your mother be thinking. Will this all my property and my acquisition and assets? May your uncle, who is very wealthy, may be thinking, what should I even give to this my nephew, this my niece?

[31:46] What should I even give to them? May they be thinking, your wedding, what should they even do for you? May somebody buy a house for you for your wedding. A wedding present. Amen.

[31:57] They bought a whole house, five bedroom house for you as a wedding present. Amen. Receive the favor. Receive it.

[32:08] Amen. That's what favor can do. So, I have, brothers and sisters, I have favor. Some of you, the reason why you like me is because God has given me favor before you.

[32:21] I said, God has given me favor with my wife, with the church, Caris, and with our leaders. Favor has to do with something that is on you. Look, ag bishop, for me to be invited by the ag bishop, I'm not in that league.

[32:36] But favor made the man say, son, come. Son, come. And he has never actually seen me preach. And he puts me on his biggest platform. This must be the work of favor.

[32:47] I'm telling you. And if favor is working in my life like this, I'm telling you. You are not far from favor. Favor, strength. Strength, favor. I'm a professor.

[32:58] Strength, favor. Strength, favor. Strength, favor. Strength, favor. Favor that makes the journey sweet. Favor that makes the journey easy. Favor that makes the journey smooth.

[33:09] Favor that makes the journey great. Receive it in the name of Jesus. Amen. Receive it. Last month, I was at Shiloh. As soon as they closed Shiloh, Bishop Oedepo was walking out.

[33:21] He was shaking past us. And then I got the privilege to shake him a little bit because where I was, it's quite far. Shook him. Then he stood. Then he called me. He said, come. Bishop Oedepo called me.

[33:31] Come. Everybody was looking at me. Just like the blind bat to me. Because when Jesus called him. But me, I was even shouting. And then he said, come. And so I went. And when I went, he just spoke to me.

[33:42] Whispered in my ear. He asked me one or two questions. We spoke. Me and Bishop Oedepo. Can't you imagine? Bishop Oedepo. Bishop Oedepo. One of the greatest agents of God in our generation.

[33:52] He spoke to me. And then when we finished the service, I went to say hello to him. I got the privilege. You guys didn't get close. I got the privilege. Getting to Bishop Oedepo is better than a president. American president or anything.

[34:03] No. I'm telling you. I got to Bishop Oedepo. He lays hands on me. This must be the work of favor. This must be the work of favor. This must be the work of favor.

[34:14] This must be the work of favor. I see God favoring you. I see God favoring you. I see God favoring you. Favor. Favor. Favor. Favor. Favor. If there's one thing that you need.

[34:28] Bible say in the book of Acts. The Christians. They had favor. With the people. And things were working. Acts chapter 2 verse 47. They had favor with the people.

[34:40] May you have favor with your. The people who select. Who do the appointment and selections. When they look at your document. For some reason. May favor. And praising God.

[34:50] And having favor with all the people. Not only some of the people. They were having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to the church. This is one of the ways church can grow. When we begin to have favor with people. Favor with your family.

[35:01] Favor with your sister. Everybody fears that sister. She's like a tyrant. But for us. For you alone. You have favor with her. You have favor with the boss. Who everybody fears. You have favor with the lecturer.

[35:14] You have favor with authorities. May that be your portion. In the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for listening. To hear more from David Entry.
