[105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.
You can't miss your steps following the dictates of this Book. It is not a history book, it is a life book.

[21] And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
HIS leading takes you and I above all prevailing situations as a conqueror. HIS leading is what defines our environment, not our environment deciding otherwise
‭Genesis 26:1, 12 KJV‬
[1] And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

Behind the events of the life of a believer is HIS leading. Ignorance of GOD'S leading can be costly.
‭Jeremiah 2:14-17 KJV‬
[14] Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled? [15] The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. [16] Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. [17] Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
There is no nation without legitimately rich people, and there is no nation without people in squalor
‭Isaiah 30:1-3 KJV‬
[1] Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: [2] that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! [3] Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Ignorance of GOD'S ways can be costly
‭Proverbs 14:12 KJV‬
[12] There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

[3] Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. [4] Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. [5] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. [6] Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. [7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. [8] The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [9] The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. [10] And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. [11] And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. [12] The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. [13] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
‭2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV‬
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
It's to make our life profitable. The Bible contains the light of the world.
‭John 1:4 KJV‬
[4] In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.

[34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

[4] Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
‭Psalm 16:11 KJV‬

[15] and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
It's never late to be right
‭Psalm 23:3-6 KJV‬

[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

‭Psalm 44:3 KJV‬
[3] For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them: But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, Because thou hadst a favour unto them
Favor is the grand determinant of a believer's life. May GOD smile on each of us today. There's no provision of Scripture without condition to meet.

How do I experience the downpour of GOD'S favor on my life.
Favor has to be triggered. There's something to do to experience the manifestation of GOD and Heaven's favor
‭Psalm 45:12 KJV‬
[12] And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; Even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.


How To Entreat GOD'S Favor
1. Be born again and remain so.
Redemption is a show of GOD'S favor to a man.
‭Ephesians 2:8 KJV‬
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Favor begins with proven newbirth
‭2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV‬
[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
‭Psalm 5:12 KJV‬
[12] For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; With favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
‭Acts 2:47 KJV‬
[47] praising GOD, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Newbirth provokes favor

The mystery of speaking to yourself based on Scriptures.
‭Ephesians 5:19 KJV‬
[19] speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
‭Psalm 42:5 KJV‬
[5] Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: For I shall yet praise him For the help of his countenance.

2. Stay in love with GOD
‭1 Chronicles 28:4 KJV‬
[4] Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:
‭1 Samuel 16:22 KJV‬
[22] And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
‭John 14:21 KJV‬
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
‭Deuteronomy 28:1-2 KJV‬
[1] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: [2] and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Through your proven love for GOD by delightsome obedience.

3. Continue to favor HIS righteous cause.
Let HIS Kingdom have a center place in your heart
‭Psalm 35:27 KJV‬
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
‭Psalm 102:13-15 KJV‬
[13] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. [14] For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And favour the dust thereof. [15] So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Fearful favor connotes fortune.
‭Psalm 45:6-9 KJV‬
[6] Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. [7] Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: Therefore GOD, thy GOD, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. [8] All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. [9] Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Fresh oil keeps attracting favor
Commit to the terms of covenant of favor.
