Pray For Favour To Overcome Opposition

Favour to Overcome Opposition

Today, we will pray for favour to overcome opposition. In life, opposition often arises when we are on the path to fulfilling our purpose or stepping into the blessings God has prepared for us. While challenges are inevitable, the favour of God is a powerful force that enables believers to overcome even the most formidable obstacles. God’s favour turns the tide in our favour, opening doors, silencing adversaries, and ensuring victory.

Understanding Divine Favour

Favour is the grace of God that goes beyond human effort. It sets us apart, empowers us, and grants us supernatural access to solutions we could never achieve on our own. As believers, God’s favour is not earned; it is a gift given through His love and mercy.

Psalm 5:12 (NIV) states, “Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as with a shield.” This verse reminds us that God’s favour acts as a protective shield, guarding us against opposition and ensuring success despite resistance.

Examples of Favour in the Face of Opposition

  1. Nehemiah

    Nehemiah faced intense opposition while rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, but God’s favour granted him the resources, protection, and wisdom to complete the task.
    Nehemiah 2:8 (NIV): “And because the gracious hand of my God was on me, the king granted my requests.”

  2. Esther

    Queen Esther faced opposition when advocating for the lives of her people. Through God’s favour, she won the king’s approval and overturned the plot against the Jews.
    Esther 2:17 (NIV): “Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval.”

  3. David

    David, though opposed by King Saul and other enemies, experienced God’s favour, which elevated him to kingship and protected him throughout his trials.
    Psalm 23:5 (NIV): “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”

How to Access Favour to Overcome Opposition

  1. Remain Faithful to God

    Favour often comes to those who are obedient and walk in alignment with God’s will. Staying rooted in His Word and committed to His commands invites divine favour.
    Proverbs 3:3-4 (NIV): “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man.”

  2. Pray for Favour

    God desires for us to ask for His grace and favour in times of need. Prayer unlocks the supernatural intervention necessary to overcome opposition.
    Psalm 90:17 (NIV): “May the favour of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.”

  3. Trust in God’s Timing

    God’s favour operates according to His perfect timing. Even when opposition feels overwhelming, trusting in His plan ensures we will triumph at the right moment.
    Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV): “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

  4. Walk with Humility

    God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. A heart of humility attracts God’s favour and opens doors even in the face of opposition.
    James 4:6 (NIV): “God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.”

Prayers for Favour Against Opposition

  • Prayer for Wisdom: “Lord, grant me the wisdom to navigate opposition and overcome it through Your favour. Guide my steps and lead me to victory.”
  • Prayer for Strength: “Father, strengthen me to stand firm in faith, knowing Your favour surrounds me as a shield against every adversary.”
  • Prayer for Victory: “Lord, let Your favour open doors and silence every opposition. Establish the work of my hands and glorify Your name through my life.”

Conclusion

God’s favour is the ultimate tool for overcoming opposition. Whether it’s challenges in your career, relationships, or ministry, His grace ensures victory for those who trust in Him. Like Nehemiah, Esther, and David, we can experience breakthroughs when God’s favour is upon us.

As you face opposition, remember to seek God’s favour, trust His plan, and walk boldly, knowing that He is with you every step of the way. His favour will empower you to rise above every challenge and emerge victorious.
