EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) January 19, 2026 THE UNCOMMON FAVOUR THAT LIFTS REV. AROME E. TOKULA Psalms 89:17 (TPT) - The glory of your splendor is our strength, and your MARVELOUS favour makes us even stronger, LIFTING US EVEN HIGHER! Every child of God is blessed because they are in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3) and a core component of the blessing of God is His favour. The favour of God is what distinguishes us in life and it isn't something we should pray for; rather we are to walk in the consciousness of it every day as believers. While the favour of God distinguishes us, it is also God’s compelling power that lifts us in life from one level of glory to another! Those who don't understand the favour of God will simply term you a ‘lucky' person. They'll say, “you're always lucky!” Favour raised an ordinary girl that was an immigrant to become a queen in a strange land. Her name is Esther. Though she went through the preparations like the other girls, it was the favour of God that made her case different. Esther 2:17 says, "And the king LOVED Esther above all the women, and SHE OBTAINED GRACE AND FAVOUR in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen INSTEAD OF VASHTI." As I read this verse, I discovered among many ‘virgins,’ the key to becoming a queen is the uncommon favour of God. It is the favour of God that lifted Esther and that same power is lifting you into positions that were previously occupied by others. The favour of God will break existing protocols to lift you as it did for Esther. The Law of the land says that: “Everyone who works for the king here, and even the people out in the provinces, knows that there is a single fate for EVERY MAN OR WOMAN WHO APPROACHES THE KING WITHOUT BEING INVITED: DEATH. The ONE EXCEPTION is if the king extends his gold scepter; then he or she may live. And it's been thirty days now since I've been invited to come to the king." (Esther 4:11) When Esther needed to see the king on behalf of her people, she turned her face to God in prayer and the situation changed. She was the exception. Esther 5:2 says, "When he (the king) noticed Queen Esther standing in the court, HE WAS PLEASED TO SEE HER; the king extended the gold scepter in his hand. Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.” Praise God! What did not happen to others, happened to Esther! She experienced uncommon favours! God is showing you these same uncommon favours even today in the Name of Jesus. People will do for you what they wouldn't do for others. Mighty doors are opened to you in the Name of Jesus. In 2 Samuel 9, the favour of God lifted a lame timid, and scared man by the name, of Mephibosheth to sit and dine with king David all the days of his life. It didn't matter that he was lame on both feet. Receive and walk in uncommon favours for lifting in the Name of Jesus. Uncommon favour is taking you to new heights in all that concerns you in the Name of Jesus. The uncommon favour of God will cause the plans of the enemy to become a perfect plan for your lifting, it will give you a place with Kings like Esther, and it will cause you to sit on the tables of kings like Mephibosheth in Jesus’ Name. DECLARE I am deeply loved by God and highly favoured by Him because I am in Christ Jesus. The uncommon favour of God is lifting me into new levels of glory. Doors open to me where they are closed to others because God has blessed and favoured me. Where others are cast down, I am experiencing supernatural liftings because I am the favoured one in the mighty Name of Jesus. PONDER The favour of God is what distinguishes you in life and it isn't something you should pray for; rather you are to walk in the consciousness of it every day as a believer. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #January #2026_RevelationAndUprise
