The Dispensation Of Favour
Isaiah 61:2
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.
The opening Scripture reveals the proclamation of Jesus Christ as seen in the prophecy of Isaiah. Jesus is anointed to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. What is the acceptable year of the Lord? It is the year of Jubilee: the dispensation of God's free favours to all. It was the beginning of the ministry of Jesus when He made this announcement. This was what He came to the world to do; to reconcile the world to God.
2 Corinthians 5:19 tells us that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing upon them their trespasses. Why? It is the dispensation of God's free favours. Between the time Jesus announced this and when He will return to catch up the saints, is the acceptable year of the Lord; it is the dispensation of God's free favours. We are in the dispensation of God's free favours. It began with the proclamation of the Lord Jesus Christ at the beginning of His ministry, which is still on; His ministry on the earth did not end when He ascended up on high, it was transferred to the Church, and will continue until the catching up of the saints. Welcome to the dispensation of God's free favours!
What are you to expect in the dispensation of favour?
2 Corinthians 6:2 tells us ”For he saith,l have heard the in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have l succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” It says I have heard you in a time accepted, which is the dispensation of favour. That's answers to prayers! Glory to God! You can call on God at this appointed time of God's free favours and be sure He will answer you. Again, the accepted time or the dispensation of favour is the day of salvation, which means the time to enjoy the salvation of the Lord. Salvation does not only mean to be saved from sin; it includes salvation from the consequences of sin.
Everything in the redemption package is of salvation: Peace, joy, prosperity, safety, fellowship with God, etc. Salvation is wholeness, nothing missing and nothing broken. That's all we stand to gain or enjoy in the dispensation of favour. Go ahead and bask in the glory of God, giving thanks to Him for bringing you into the dispensation of favour through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
We can clearly see God's favour in ou lives. Most of us can see the difference between before we started serving God and after giving to him our lives.
Thanks for your contribution.

The favour of God is what determines how far everyone can go in life. Once you are favoured, you are made. God helps those who he found favour in. Favour is what converts labour into fortune. Thanks for sharing.
God's favour makes us do less work and get more results

OS“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” –Ephesians 2:8, NKJV
God’s favor, aka God’s grace, is the reason you are saved. You are saved by His favor.
God’s favor has taken care of everything you will ever need—spirit, soul and body. Every part of your life is impacted by the grace and favor of God. This doesn’t just mean you are going to heaven. It means you are delivered, protected, preserved, healed and made whole.
The favour of God will single you out for a miracle because if you read Mark 10:46-52, the Bible says Jesus came to Jericho and as he was coming out of Jericho a great multitude followed him! A multitude followed Him! But how many of the people in the multitude got a miracle? Only blind Bartemeus who was by the highway side begging!
This is awesome message. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing upon them their trespasses. Why? It is the dispensation of God's free favours. Between the time Jesus announced this and when He will return to catch up the saints, is the acceptable year of the Lord; it is the dispensation of God's free favours. We are in the dispensation of God's free favours. It began with the proclamation of the Lord Jesus Christ at the beginning of His ministry, which is still on; His ministry on the earth did not end when He ascended up on high, it was transferred to the Church, and will continue until the catching up of the saints.
