Favor means to assist, to give you special advantages and to receive special treatment.

When God wants to bless you, He will send a person in your life, to bring the blessing for you.

How many of you had a problem this past week or you know somebody who had a problem? The fact that you have problems and pressures mean that you are experiencing the favor of God, many times God uses problems and pressures to mold us and shape us and all the while we are experiencing His favor.

Elijah prayed that God will bless him in the middle of crisis. No rain meant famine was coming, no rain no crops, no crops meant nothing to eat, did Elijah want to go through the famine? The answer is NO. Elijah said, Lord what about me, God said no problem I have you covered on this crisis.

Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan, and it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there. God always gives instruction to His people.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will answer you. The scripture did not say, He will think first before He will answer us. He will show you great things of His kindness and power. God speaks little, but He answers much when you do the calling

Jeremiah 32: is there anything too hard for me? If you do not believe in His plan, you are depriving yourself from His best.

Psalms 115:11-14 You fear the Lord, trust in the Lord, He is your help and shield
The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the Lord, small and great. May the Lord give increase more and more, You and your children.

God has a good plan for you, peace and not evil, to give you a future and hope. The only reason God does not speak to His people is that they never call upon Him.

Our part is to call, His part is to answer. God commanded your provision. Our needs are on the other side of our obedience. If Elijah missed to obeyed God’s instruction, he would missed his provision. The bible does not say call unto me and I will avoid you.
God uses the ravens to brought him food, meat in the morning, bread and meat in the evening; and drunk from the brook.

John 16:13 He will speak and He will teach you the things to come.

1 King 17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah saying, arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was gathering sticks. And called her and said, please bring me a little water in a cup that I may drink. And she about to get it, he called again and said, please bring me also a bread.

The widow was looking at what little she had left as her harvest. That is why she said only God knows I do have a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar, and see I am gathering a couple sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat before we die.

But Elijah was looking at what she had left as a seed. What causes the multiply? Anointing and the obedience of the widow to the man of God, when God wants to bless you He will put person in your life. Obedience is critical.

DIS-means separation

Disobedience separated us from the provision of God that belongs to us.
