Favour upon Israel.

Favour upon Israel.

Israel did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was His right hand, His arm, and the light of His countenance, Because God favoured them. (Psalm 44:3)

The nation of Israel did not win their battles by their own might.

God's right hand, God's arm, God's light did it all.

Because He favoured them.

That favour is upon His Church too.

We don’t win battles by our own might either.

Favour upon the early Church.
The early church met often and had favour with all the people. (Acts 2:46-47)
I believe that their attitude toward fellowshipping together helped to bring the favour that brought other people to church.
It seems that people who are happy to fellowship together a lot, will have other people added to them....
We have known this for years, that is why we promote our Home Groups and encourage fellowship among believers.
