Anointing without favour will eventually lead to dishonour, no matter how powerful the revelations carried in the message.
A man may preach eternal truths with deep doctrinal accuracy, yet remain without visible impact if divine favour is absent.
The anointing gives utterance, but favour gives acceptance.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” — Luke 2:52
Every true servant of God requires divine favour to rest upon their message—this is God touching the tongue with the coal of fire, causing every word spoken to find expression, relevance, and fulfillment.
“Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand… and he touched my mouth… and said… thy sin is purged.” — Isaiah 6:6–7
You may be an anointed vessel, but if favour is absent, even in the face of great manifestations, impact will be limited.
Favour is what causes the words of a man of God not to fall to the ground.
“And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.” — 1 Samuel 3:19
Favour is the divine force that gives spread, speed, and staying power to a ministry. It is what causes men to hear, receive, and respond.
“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly.” — Acts 6:7
However, making it a ministry to pull others down, malign fellow servants, or compete carnally in the name of relevance is a subtle way to rob yourself of favour. God resists such advancement.
“God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” — James 4:6
“Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” — Psalm 105:15
To abide in your calling, honour the grace upon others, and genuinely wish people well is to open yourself to uncommon favour that makes great.
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” — Philippians 2:3
If you must flow in favour, you must distance yourself from envy, bitterness, rivalry, and backstabbing—all born out of jealousy.
“Where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” — James 3:16
“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” — James 3:13
Grace gives access.
Anointing gives power.
Favour gives impact, acceptance, and continuity.
“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” — Psalm 5:12
