INTRODUCTION
Every lady who is a child of God carries favour upon her. It says in Psalms 90:17
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
The reason God bestows so much beauty upon you as ladies, is for you to be productive because God takes pleasure in establishing the work of your hands as seen in the above scripture (Psalm 90:17).
Therefore no lady is a liability. You're a carrier of the God's inestimable treasure of great price. You're wonderfully and fearfully made. The very apple of God's eyes. It's important to know this so that not just any guy or stranger will flatter you with the same words to get you to do his unrighteous biding.
Understand that you're beautiful and well favoured. Even though Esther was in a foreign land, yet when a replacement for queen Vashti was sought for, she found favour before all them that looked on her and also before the king, who eventually made her the queen in place of vashti (Esther 2:15-17)
It's also important to know that God designed a lady to be beautiful and well favoured in order to bring salvation, deliverance and breakthrough not only for herself alone but also to her generation as the case was with Esther and her people; the Jews. We can see that God bestowed so much beauty and favour on her in order to bring her to a place of prominence, royalty and authority which eventually brought deliverance to the Jews from the hand of Hamman all the enemies of the Jews (Esther 9:1-5,16)
Sadly, in our contemporary days, the purpose to which God made a woman more beautiful and well favoured has been abused and that is why God is calling us to be restored back to Him by understanding the true essence of your make-up as a lady.
Your beauty is not to seduce men to fall into sin nor should it be used as a bait for weakness to pass an exam or attain a position of compromise. Yur beauty is not for molestation by uncultured and canal men. It is for God's glory to be revealed through you to your family, friends and to your generation at large.
2. DEFINITION OF TERMS.
It's important to define what favour and beauty really is, so we could have a better idea of what we are talking about..
WHAT THEN IS FAVOUR?.
i. Favour is any endowment that recommends the possessor to others for preference or to be chosen among many options (Esther as a case study)
ii. Favour which also means grace is appropriately, the free unmerited love and kindness of God, the spring from the source of all the benefits anyone can receive from Him.
iii. It is God's way of blessing His children without any form of reservation or without finding faults in them, so every lady should free themselves from any form of condemnation because God has favoured you... Your past may be so terrible, but God can rewrite your wrongs all by His favour.
WHAT THEN IS BEAUTY?
Beauty is an assemblage of graces, or a combination of properties either the colour of the skin, your dressing or appearance etc... which pleases the eye.
Beauty as used for a lady is due to the proportion or symmetry of her body parts which constitutes the most essential property to which we annex the term beauty (whenever a man tells you that you're beautiful, that means he has seen that you have all the symmetry of your shape and appearance to be well pleasing in his sight).
But the principal properties which constitute beauty is hardly possible to define from physical appearance alone. Beauty is well defined from scriptures as we read in 1 peter 3:3-4 AMP
Vs 3. Let not yours(your beauty) be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;
Vs 4. But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle(meek/humble) and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.
Therefore beauty is best define by the inward state of eternal virtues; gifts and fruits of the spirit, more than an outward appearance.
3. WHY YOU NEED FAVOUR AND BEAUTY
There's a popular aphorism that says "one day of favour is better than many years of labour." That is why favour is very crucial. As ladies, you need favour and beauty for the following reasons;
i. You need beauty and favour to be preferred above others (Gen 29:17). For instance, Jacob choose Rachel because she was beautiful and well favoured.
Although this is not a competition but it is a much needed grace that separates the few from the crowd.
ii. You need favour and beauty to bring prosperity, salvation, breakthrough and deliverance to your generation (Esther 9:1-5,16).
iii. You need favour and beauty in order to enjoy life in abundance (Exd 12:36)
iv. You need favour in order to possess your possession (psalm 44:3).
v. You need favour in order to keep winning in life Acts 7:45-46... We saw how David never lost any battle because he found favour with the lord.
4. HOW TO OBTAIN FAVOUR FROM THE LORD
i. Be born again because favour is the inheritance of every child of God. Exd 12:36, 1sam 2:26, Luke 2:52
ii. Fight for what is right by engaging in spiritual matters e.g prayer and fasting and other kingdom mystery. (Esther 4:16, 5:2, 8:1-7)
ii. Go for wisdom and knowledge. For instance; buy books about every aspect of life you need to know (e.g family, relationship, dating and courtship, marriage covenant, career e.t.c) and study your Bible daily Prov. 8:35, 13:15
iv. Avoid every form of lies. Be truthful, kind and merciful both to yourself and to those around you. Prov 3:3-4.
iv. Fear the lord in all you do by giving Him His rightful place and authority over your life (Prov 31:30).. Joseph found favour because he feared God (Gen.39:9,21)
Finally, understand that everyone has a story to tell. Therefore, as ladies, you must also guard your life jealously in order to have a glorious story to tell. Jesus is Lord.
