0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:45 Speaker 2: Hello, everyone, is such a joy for me to join you on this segment of the Field for the Soul with John gift of podcast. If you've been checking out, I just want to let you know that this week we're doing a series on understanding that you and I, as children of the Most Igard, we have an advantage. We have something special, and that is the fact that you and I carry the favor of God. We have the favor of Gods surrounding us. That's the thing I wanted to establish in my previous segment. I will encourage you to go back and check that, because I want you to understand that when you understand that you are highly favored, you have the favor of God surrounding you.

1:17 Speaker 2: You have the favor of God leading you, guiding you every step along the way. You will understand that you're not at a disadvantage. You don't have a negative outlook of life, but you have a different outlook in life knowing that, you know what, I'm a child of the King of Kings and the lot of lots, not from a place of arrogance, but a place of confidence, knowing that God is leading you and guiding you, and that special favor is going to help you fulfill the purpose that He has since so for you. In line with this, I want to remind you of something very important.

1:45 Speaker 2: One of the characteristics that I want you to remember with regard to knowing that you are having this favor is something that you have to understand. Sometimes we think that, yes, you know what, I'm one of the eight billion people on earth. You know, there's nothing special about me. Is one of the people who just you know, born one day, die one day. You know, like the way the world says, you see, there's a place to not overthink or or you know, think of yourself too highly than you ought to do that.

2:13 Speaker 2: There's also another other extreme you need to be aware of, because that's what the scripture says. But at the same time, you have to understand that when you know that you're a child of the King of Kings and a lot of lots, when you know that your heavenly father controls standard universe, your heavenly Father is by your side. Your heavenly Father is leading you, guiding, your teaching you, molding you. I want you to understand that your daddy rules the world, right, your Daddy controls the world.

2:39 Speaker 2: When you understand that, you understand that you know what. For example, if you take a prince or a princess on Planet Tour, it like right now, when you think about the royal family in England and you look at the royal family, the prince and the princess, or you look at the royal family in Spain or any of the things, if you see they work with that knowing that you know what their father or their lineage is royalty, you know what I mean? They not with arrogance. I mean, don't think about the arrogance part.

3:09 Speaker 2: But I'm talking of thinking about the fact that you know what the confidence that comes in, like you know what a special treatment that comes to them because of royalty or special treatment. People just want to be good to them. People want to be kind to them. You see, I want you to understand. You may say I'm not from a royal lineage. You may not be from an earthly royal lineage, but you're from the royal lineage of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And because of that, what happens is you can't explain this, but the right people are going to like you, show special interest towards you.

3:39 Speaker 2: You can't even understand why and how that happens. That is the favor of God. Some people, you may be saying, like, I don't understand why this person likes me. I don't understand why she has special interest in me. I don't understand why this person decided to go the extra line for me. I don't understand why this person decided to support me. In my vision, I wanted to understand that is the Lord and his favor causing some people to show that kindness towards you. See when you think about in the scripture, right when you talk about Esther.

4:08 Speaker 2: I just love the story of Esther. Right, there's a moment when the next queen is about to be selected and the lord, thousands of young women from the kingdom are they're about to be trained and all of this. But there's a worse that really really catches my attention every time I go back to this. It's found in Esther two verse nine, right, the man who was in charge, the man who was in charge. The Bible says that Esther gained the favor of this man in Esther to verse nine. Okay, I'm talking about it in different translations.

4:40 Speaker 2: This man was impressed with Esther. Esther has not done anything yet, but you know, he's impressed with Esther, and he started treating her very well. She gained his favor. See, this man has nothing in return. He's not going to get anything in return. He's not going to get Esther as his wife. Right Like, he's not person nearly getting anything in benefit. But what caused this man to show special interest towards Esther? What caused this man to be kind to Esther? What coused this man to be impressed by Esther?

5:13 Speaker 2: Esther did not come from a great background. Esther did not have anything to back up. She didn't have great data, she didn't have a great you know, qualification that made us set apart from the rest. In fact, she was from the the you know, like the group that were later on going to be persecuted, right like the Jews were actually going to be persecuted. She was from that. And yes, the thing I wanted to understand. She didn't have anything on paper that could make us stand out. But yet this man showed that, you know, like a sense of favor towards her.

5:48 Speaker 2: What was that? That is favor, that is the favor of God upon your life. This is what I wanted understand. It can be thousands of people, but esther got special treatment. And that is the way I wanted to understand. And that even in the midst of thousands of people, even in the midst of a multitude, even if there are so many people trying for the same job, you can find that you know, the right. People will say, you know what, I'm impressed by you. I'm impressed by what you've got to offer. I'm impressed by your profile, I'm impressed by what you have achieved.

6:20 Speaker 2: I'm impressed by your personality. I don't understand how you can't put it on paper, you can't explain it, But that is the favor of God. And this evening I want this day, I want you to get this into your spirit. Guys, I want you to get this in your spirit. Then pray and say, Lord, help me to understand this with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul, to know that I have this special favor that helps me set about, this special favor that causes me to rise, this special favor that causes the right people to like me.

6:50 Speaker 2: And I know that the right divine connections will cause me to step into the fullness of my destiny. In Jesus Mighty Name, I really encourage you to stay for the next couple of days as we learn more things about the fear of God, and I believe that these sermons would be such a great blessing. In Jesus Mighty Name, gotcha you've.
