Joel Osteen Devotional February 1 2021 – Increase in Favor

Luke 2:52, ESV

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.

Did you know that one way our faith is released is through our words? There is a connection between speaking God’s favor and receiving His favor. You can increase in favor. It’s not enough to just believe you have favor or expect favor; you have to take it one step further and declare favor. Every day you should declare, I have the favor of God. I have favor on my business, my finances, my family, and my health. When you speak something out, you’re giving it the right to come to pass. When you’re in a difficult situation, instead of complaining about it, you need to declare, the favor of God is turning this around. His favor is bringing healing, freedom, vindication, and victory into my life. It’s one thing to think it, but when you declare it, things begin to happen in the unseen realm. You’ve hoped, you’ve prayed, you’ve believed that’s good but it’s time to start speaking favor.

Father, thank You for the gift of Your favor that I can freely receive and increase in. Thank You that Your favor is endorsing me, bringing me to prominence, and taking me to new levels. I believe and declare that Your favor is bringing me whatever I need at this very moment. In Jesus Name, Amen.
