In the Power of Favor, Joel Osteen has written a brand-new book discussing the favor of God on your life. He shares that God had things in the future for us to accomplish and God will give us favor to help us find our purpose. Joel encourages believers to believe that God has good things in store for us. He explains that favor can be a job promotion that we weren’t qualified for that we end up getting, finding our spouse in an unexpected way, eventually conceiving and having a baby we have been praying and believing God for, receiving a scholarship out of the blue, having our debts taken care of, business taking off, or receiving God’s healing. Joel shared countless stories from scriptures and how they experienced the favor of God. Some of these included Noah, David, Moses, Elijah, Joseph, Hannah just to name a few. In the book, Joel also shared how Lakewood was able to get the Compaq Center. He was disappointed when two properties that his church was looking at was sold. Then God opened up a new door and one of his friends called him and told him the Rockets basketball team was looking to sell the Compaq Center. He explains we need only the right people for us. We don’t have to worry or stress over trying to win the critics God can cause the right people to be for us and that will make all of the difference. He encouraged readers by sharing how just one touch of God’s favor can put us years down the road even if we feel like our dreams are running behind our timeframe.
I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is ready to experience God’s favor and they are seeking some encouragement. Readers will get to connect with stories Joel shares throughout the book. One of my favorite Biblical stories he shared was about Hannah in 1 Samuel. She was barren and unable to have a baby and her husband’s other wife had many children and joked around and tried to shame her. One day, she prayed to God and Eli overheard her and told her that God would give her a son, named Samuel. God eventually went on and blessed her and let her have five more children after him. Joel explained how she asked God for 1 son and God fulfilled her dream and she received much more. God was able to exceed expectations for Hannah. I liked how Joel Osteen opened up about getting the Compaq Center. I enjoyed reading about how he met Victoria and how he encourages singles to believe that God can also do that for them. I connected with how Joel explained the power of favor and how God is able to open doors, bring healing, promotion, and help us to fulfill our purpose. If you’re ready to believe for God’s favor in your life, then read this brand-new book!
