Pray For Open Heavens and Favour
Open Heavens and Favour: Experiencing God’s Divine Abundance
The concept of open heavens and favour is a profound theme in Scripture, symbolizing the flow of divine blessings, opportunities, and unmerited grace. It represents a season or state where God’s presence is felt tangibly, and His provisions and favour are abundantly evident in a believer’s life.
Understanding Open Heavens
Open heavens signify a direct connection between God and His people, where divine blessings, guidance, and revelation flow without hindrance. It is a state of spiritual abundance that affects every area of life—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and materially.
Biblical Basis for Open Heavens
-
Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV)
“The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.”
- This verse highlights God’s promise to pour out blessings and ensure the prosperity of His people when they walk in obedience.
-
Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
- Here, open heavens are linked to faithfulness in giving, showcasing God’s readiness to reward obedience with overflowing blessings.
-
Ezekiel 1:1 (NIV)
“In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.”
- Open heavens also signify divine revelation and a deeper connection with God’s purposes.
What is Divine Favour?
Favour refers to the grace of God that brings undeserved blessings, opportunities, and breakthroughs. It is the manifestation of God’s kindness and approval, granting success and advantages that cannot be achieved by human effort alone.
Characteristics of Divine Favour
- Unmerited: It cannot be earned by works but is given freely by God. (Ephesians 2:8)
- Supernatural Impact: Favour can lead to open doors, breakthroughs, and promotion even in unlikely situations.
- Transformative: It changes lives and elevates individuals beyond their natural capacities.
Biblical Examples of Favour
- Joseph (Genesis 39:21):
“The Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favour in the eyes of the prison warden.” Despite being in prison, Joseph experienced favour that eventually led to his promotion in Pharaoh’s court. - Esther (Esther 5:2):
“When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand.” Esther found favour that saved her people from destruction. Favour has the capacity to enthrone. - Mary (Luke 1:30):
“But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favour with God.’” Mary’s favour enabled her to become the mother of Jesus, fulfilling God’s divine plan.

Open heavens bring clarity and direction in life’s decisions. (Psalm 32:8) - Protection and Deliverance:
