Let us seek the knowledge of God………
Proverbs 18:15-24 

An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of =
the wise seeks knowledge. A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him be=
fore the great. The one who states his case first seems right, until the ot=
her comes and examines him. The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides bet=
ween powerful contenders. A brother offended is more unyielding than a stro=
ng city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. …

The fa=
vor of God is 
available to all……….

Isaiah 60:1 

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of =
the Lord has risen upon you.

Please=
read the 
following from Joseph Prince, who I have =
come to know through his teaching’s on KAZQ TV, on the favor of God and the=
n I add my comments at the end……….

If you would like t=
o walk in a greater measure of God=E2=80=99s favor, 2 Peter 1:2 says that g=
race, which is the undeserved favor of God, and peace, can be multiplied to=
you. Peace is the word =E2=80=9Cshalom=E2=80=9D in Hebrew. Its definition =
includes wholeness,  health and prosperity. So when you walk in d=
ivine favor and peace, you will walk in blessings in every area of your lif=
e!
B=
ut how do the undeserved favor and shalom of God increase in your life?

I=
t is not by your laboring or toiling to earn it. The Bible says that it com=
es as your knowledge of Jesus and His finished work increases. It comes as =
you learn more about and believe that through Jesus=E2=80=99 one sacrifice =
at the cross, God removed all your sins, gave you His righteousness as a gi=
ft and put you in Christ to enjoy everything Jesus has. God=E2=80=99s favor=
is multiplied in your life when you simply believe that the favor of God t=
hat is on Christ is also on you because of what Jesus=E2=80=99 work at the =
cross has accomplished.
T=
oday, you don=E2=80=99t have to struggle for favor. Just release it by spea=
king forth God=E2=80=99s Word in faith. On your way to work, say, =E2=80=9C=
God=E2=80=99s favor surrounds me as with a shield.=E2=80=9D (Psalm 5:12) As=
you continue to speak God=E2=80=99s favor over your life out of a revelati=
on of Jesus=E2=80=99 finished work, you will see more of it being released.=
W=
hen I first entered the workforce, I began to declare the favor of God in m=
y job. Every time I was given a new assignment, I proclaimed that the divin=
e favor of God was on me. The company began to prosper and I was blessed fi=
nancially. By the time I left the company to serve God full-time, my income=
had increased so that I was in the top 15 per cent of earners in my age gr=
oup in Singapore.
T=
oday, in your workplace or at home, begin to declare the favor of God by fa=
ith. Expect to receive preferential treatment wherever you are. Say, =E2=80=
=9CI am surrounded with the favor of God because of Jesus=E2=80=99 finished=
work. I have favor before God and man!=E2=80=9D And see God=E2=80=99s favo=
r work for you!

Thought For The Day

You don=E2=80=99t have to struggle for favor. Just release it by speaking f=
orth God=E2=80=99s Word in faith.

Good words from Joseph Pri=
nce.
Seeking the knowledge of God…….What Prince writes abou=
t the favor of God not coming from our labor or toiling to earn it, is so t=
rue! God’s Word says it comes as your knowledge of Jesus and His finished w=
ork increases  in you.Years ago Pastor’s and friends began to tell me =
that the Favor of God was over me. I had not had that spoken to me before. =
I knew I was blessed, but favored? I now know more than ever  what the=
favor of God is! It is like a covering of a wonderful blanket of=
protection. It comes from a close personal relationship with Him. It comes=
from absorbing His Word into your life and putting God’s Word into action,=
being Christ like in everything you do and say. It comes from your Christ =
like behavior. You don’t work at it, you become Christ like. There is nothi=
ng to compare it to, it is a Spiritual  high! AMEN! 
Main Points; Seek a close per=
sonal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and seek His knowledge from H=
is Word. It is also vital that you seek God’s knowledge yourself, don’t hav=
e someone do it for you, do not rely on a Pastor to do it for you! You seek=
and you shall 
receive! You seek the knowledge of Christ you become Christ like! AMEN! 
Absorb the bread of life into your life and =
you will be Christ like in everything you do and say! I am going to tell th=
is story until I am called home! AMEN!
And don’t give up on anybody! Keep being Chr=
ist like to them! AMEN!

lie in your arms, that my lord the king may be warm.=E2=80=9D So they soug=
ht for a beautiful young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and =

the eyes of all who saw her. And when Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, i=
nto his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in =
