Your relationships go a long way in determining your outcome. You see there are relationships that God has pre-destined for your favor. Your ability to recognize and treat these relationships appropriately is important in your path to fulfilling destiny. Conversely the wrong relationships can take you further away from fulfilling your destiny.
According to scripture in Pro 13:20, a friend of a wise man walks in wisdom while the friend of a foolish man walks in foolishness. Friend it can take an action based on wisdom to cause you to walk in manifested favor. Similarly an action based on foolishness can cause you to walk further away from the manifestation of divine favor.
You must regularly evaluate the friends that you are surrounded by. Allow God to lead you as you evaluate your friendships. Are they enabling you to walk in divine favor or are they enabling the compromise of the flow of divine favor into your life? Choose your friends wisely and you will not live a compromised life.

The flow of favor in your life will not cease
On of the laws in operation in the Kingdom of God is the law of seed time and harvest. This law states that every seed will bring forth a harvest as long as the earth remains - Gen 8:22. This represents God's system and is mostly applied in the area of finances. However this law can also be applied in the area of favor.
Do you desire favor in a particular area of your life? If you do then look for an opportunity to sow favor in another person's direction. Don't just let this be a one-time event. If you truly understand how seed time and harvest works then you will seek to grab every opportunity to sow a seed of favor because this guarantees a constant harvest of favor in your life. In other words the flow of favor in your life will not cease.
Friend make a commitment today to constantly sowing seeds of favor. Then expect and receive the flow of favor in your life.

Watch as the favor overtakes you
Pride is another one of the greatest blockers of the flow of divine favor into your life. A prideful man is someone who believes that all that he has ever achieved was as a result of his labor. He brags about how much he had to sweat to get to where he is. He confidently shares stories of how he intends to toil in order to make even more progress in all areas of his life. In his stories there is a distinct lack of the mention of God's hand in his life. He is convinced that he can be successful all by himself.
Friend pride such as described above is what leads to failure and eventually destruction - Pro 18:12. The devil is an example of one who fell to pride. He had a favored position in the Kingdom having been created with great musical capacity. As the bible lets us know his downfall began once he considered that he did not need God and in fact could be at the same level as God. He was eventually cast down and consigned to eternal death.
You see rather than pride you need humility. Humility refers to your ability to submit your will to God's will, and to acknowledge God's hand in your affairs. This is what opens the door for divine favor to flow in your life. You must learn not to believe so much in your own ability that you ignore the fact that your natural ability is limited. However God's ability is unlimited. Let go of pride and subscribe to humility, and watch as the favor of God overtakes you.

Let the favor of God flow freely in your life
Sin is one of the greatest blockers of divine favor. Sin stops the flow of divine favor in your direction. How can the favor of God be in abundance over your life while you continually sin - Rom 6:1? What business does light have with darkness - 2 Cor 6:14?
The truth is that when you became born again, you old sin nature was replaced and a new nature was given to you. Your old spirit was replaced with a brand new spirit. You are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, the light of the world. As a result of this transformation your default state is no longer sinful.
From time to time you may still stumble and make mistakes. However as a child of God you do not make sin a habit. Rather you pick yourself up, confess your sin - Pro 28:13, move on and stay in God's Word. You keep pressing on. Don't allow guilt and shame to keep you bound. As you make a conscious effort to leave sin behind the flow of God's favor will continue to be present in all of your endeavors.

It's Favor Time!
Psa 102:13 (NIV)
You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.
The divine favor of God is part of our salvation package. God knew that you will require His favor in order to be all that you were created to be - 1 Cor 15:10. As children of God you must be conscious of God's divine favor in all of your endeavors. You must acknowledge and expect the favor of God to be manifested in every situation.
Friend this favor is not for some undefined time in the future. This favor is for now. This is the set time for you to be favored - Psa 102:13. Get away from the mindset that God will favor you in the future or God favored me in the past. God wants you to experience His favor now and forever. I declare that the favor of God will cause you to shine now. Amen.

Your gratitude towards God positions you for divine favor
Gratitude and thanksgiving are not very natural behaviors for man. In the culture of our time it is not even second nature to be grateful. According to scripture in Rom 1:21 many people know God and can see the hand of God evident all around them. However they neither acknowledge and glorify Him nor thank Him. Don't be part of this group of people.
Friend your attitude towards God with respect to what He has done for your i.e. your gratitude or ingratitude is a key to determining how much divine favor is manifested in your life. Just like a thankful or grateful son stirs up favor in his parents and causes them to desire to do more for the son. Similarly your gratitude towards God positions you for the favor of God.
As a child of God you have access to divine favor. Make a commitment today to live a life of gratitude to God. Your lifestyle of gratitude towards God enables divine favor to continually flow in your direction.

You will experience manifestations of divine favor continually
Saul was chosen by God to be king - 1 Sam 10:1,6-8,24. This was the favor of God in operation. It was this divine favor that caused him to be selected from amongst all the people for such a high office. Saul was divinely equipped to function in this office.
Something happened along the way. Saul became arrogant and began to disobey the protocol and instructions of God - 1 Sam 13:13-14;15:10-11. Saul had previously been positioned for the favor of God. Now by his acts of disobedience he had caused himself to no longer be in position for divine favor. He became disqualified to be God's chosen king. Eventually Saul's reign came to an end. He died dishonorably - 1 Chr 10:13, 1 Sam 31:1-6.
Friend even though God has promised to pour out His favor upon you - Psa 102:13 - you must still do your part to ensure that you are positioned for divine favor. You must resist going down the same path that Saul travelled. Rather be faithful and committed to the plans, instructions and purpose of God. Then you will experience manifestations of divine favor continually.
