Greetings to my esteemed friends on the HeartChurch and the Hive blockchain in general. It's 
Favour is divine preference. It is when you are preferred, promoted and considered above others. God’s favor puts some persons above others, giving them the advantage. In our work, office, school, business, we need the favor of God to give us the preference above colleagues, mates, associates and competitors.
Esther 2:15-18. Gen 39:4. Gen 39:21
(Luke 1:30) And the angel said unto her, fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
There is nothing free that has value. In fact, in order to secure the salvation (which is God’s free gift to mankind) you have a major role to be saved and even more to do in order to remain saved and be rapture-able. Divine favor is the heritage of God’s children but it has a price tag as there are things one can do to provoke it. Anyone you consider to be experiencing favor today must have done something to provoke it or it is as a result of heritage.
Today, I be will consider some of the things we can do to provoke God’s favor upon us.
PROVOKING DIVINE FAVOR
Righteousness; This is the
gateway
to divine favor. Righteousness
here
implies right standing with God
which is made possible by
salvation. (Psalm 5:12). It is
being born again that qualifies
you
to be called righteous in the
sight
of God through Christ. (2 Cor
5:21)
The anointing of the Holy Spirit:
The anointing of the Holy Spirit
is a catalyst of diviner favor.
(Psalm 45:7) We see the place of
the anointing of the Holy Spirit
in provoking the release of
divine favor. The presence of the
Holy Spirit puts a special unique
attractionn on an individual,
this emits an aroma which
attracts and magnetizes favor.
(Gen 27:27) When we yield
completely to the Holy Spirit, he
takes over and moulds us into a
likeable person that attracts
favor.
Prayers; It is absolutely
necessary that we seek God’s
favor in the place of prayer. The
Bible has assured us that when we
ask of The Lord, he grants us our
desires. If we notice any form of
struggles or fruitless labors in
our lives, it becomes imperative
that we seek God’s face for
favor. (Exo. 32:11, Exo 33:12,
Psalm 90:17, psalm 119:58, psalm
86:17, Psalm 106:4. Remember the
story of Esther.
Obedience: Faith filled obedience
is the master key to unlocking
the door to God’s favor. (Luke
11:28, Prov. 3:3-4, Prov. 11:27,
Gen 6:8-9). Noah maintained an
obedient, faithful, interactive
relationship with the Lord.
Remember also the obedience-
paths-of father Abraham
Humility: (Isa 66:2), James 4:6. Here in lies a secret to divine lifting through God’s favor. When a person humbles himself he attracts the attention of God for lifting.
Kindness; refers to the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate. (Matt 5:7) The level of favor you enjoy is a function of the level to which you favor others. Always remember that we reap what we sow.(2 Sam 2:9) (Esther 2:21-22 & Esther 6:1-3).
CONCLUSION
Seek the favor of God today in the place of prayer and then pray for it often while fulfilling the other conditions listed above. As you do this you will experience a shift from the ‘’survival’’ mode to the ‘’favored” mode.
