“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:52 KJV.
Life and destiny are shaped by four pivotal factors: power, wisdom, favour, and time. Always check these factors, particularly when you are passing through uncomfortable experiences or you desire a change of status. These factors are clearly reflected in the life of Jesus, who increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Power is essential to overcoming limitations, without it, servitude becomes a reality (Genesis 27:40). Similarly, wisdom is a principal requirement for navigating life profitably; it preserves and promotes (Proverbs 4:7, Ecclesiastes 10:10). Jesus Himself said, “wisdom is justified of all her children” (Luke 7:35), and the lack of it makes life burdensome (Ecclesiastes 10:15). Solomon's request for wisdom (1 Kings 3:9-12) illustrates how wisdom unlocks divine blessings and effective leadership.
Favour distinguishes and elevates a person beyond their natural qualifications. Joseph found favour before Pharaoh (Acts 7:10), just as David enjoyed favour in the sight of Jonathan and the people (1 Samuel 18:1-5). Proverbs 3:4 assures that favour brings good understanding before God and men. Yet, even with power, wisdom, and favour, one must understand the role of time. There is a time and season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1), and destiny requires sensitivity to kairos moments, the appointed times of divine visitation (1 Chronicles 12:32, Acts 1:6-7) for the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but time and chance happen to all (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Moreover, time (Chronos) must be redeemed and wisely managed (Ephesians 5:16). To fulfil destiny, you must engage these four factors intentionally.
Prophetic word: I prophesy over your life: in this season, the four factors that shape destiny, power, wisdom, favour, and time, shall align for your lifting. The Lord shall clothe you with power from on high, and every yoke of servitude and stagnation is broken in Jesus’ name. Divine wisdom shall distinguish you. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding will rest upon you, causing you to make decisions that bring fruitfulness and increase. You shall be marvellously helped and highly favoured in Jesus’ name.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the revelation of the factors that shape destiny. Today, I ask for the release of divine power to overcome every limitation and bondage in my life. Empower me, O Lord, to rise above oppression and to walk in dominion and authority. Grant me wisdom from above. Let me not walk in confusion, but in divine insight and understanding. Surround me with favour as with a shield. Let men go out of their way to bless me. Cause policies, protocols, and people to align in my favour. I receive favour with You and with men in all I do. Teach me to number my days and apply my heart to wisdom. Help me to discern times and seasons, and not to miss my Kairos moment. Restore the wasted years and redeem my time. Let my days be filled with divine purpose and fulfillment. I declare that my destiny is preserved, my path is directed, and my harvest is sure. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
