How to Have the Favor of God

By Evangelist Jeresa Alston

This book has been in the making for over three years. It is God's plan to publish this book on this day, at this time. God loves us, and He wants to give His favor to all His children. It is true that God gives His favor to whom He chooses. But you can earn the favor of God. God has given me a formula to have the favor of God in your life. Having the favor of God could mean the difference between living a life of need and living an abundant life. When you have the favor of God, He will give you everything you need to live a fulfilled life. Your life will have purpose. Right now, we are in the midst of the coronavirus. Thousands of people are in pain, and many of them are losing hope. The media has kept us abreast of this deadly virus. God has kept me abreast because I am in His favor. There is still hope for God's children. God is still protecting and preserving His children through every disaster and every pandemic. Through my own experiences, I am a witness that the favor of God has been the most valuable asset in my life. We need to have the favor of God in our lives today more than we've ever needed it before. We need God's protection. We need God to answer our prayers when we call on Him. When you read this book, you will know and understand how important it is to have the favor of God in your life. God's favor will deliver you from evil. God's favor will bring joy and happiness into your life. The favor of God will give you peace in the time of war. Favor will give you hope in the time of despair. People will tell you what it means to have favor or what the definition of favor is. But they don't tell you how to earn the favor of God. This book tells you how to have the favor of God in your life. I have the favor of God in my life, and you can too.

Foreword

I am honored to have this opportunity to write this foreword for a work that flows from the heart of a born-again Christian whom I am proud to call my sister. In this book, you will find clear drawn-out directions of how to have the favor of God. As children, my sister and I were very close. I can remember our mother dressing us up and sending us off to Sunday school each week. We were taught good manners and encouraged to do our best in life. We never got to meet our grandfather, but I heard so much about his spiritual fervor. I was told that he loved to sing and could pray heaven down to earth. Our grandmother was a faithful and loyal member of our home church in Bolton, North Carolina. Like our mother, she also encouraged us to love God and stay in church. They sowed into our life the Word of God, and we knew that, in spite of the naysayers, if we keep our hands in God’s hands, we were destined for success.

We were taught to think for ourselves and to make wise and just decisions. However, like most young folks, we made many mistakes and walked in paths that were not always the best for us. I thank God that time and life’s experiences have brought us closer to our God and closer to each other as we now live in the favor of a loving God. The God of our grandmother became the God of our mother. The God of our mother became our God. Our God has become the God of our children. It is our prayer that our grandchildren and generations unborn will come to know this God that we have learned to love and serve.

As you read this book, please take notes, and please know that this work is from my sister’s heart to yours. She begins by offering Christ to those who have never confessed Him, and she encourages the reader to pray and to live a devoted life in the word. She shares things that has happened in her personal life as a testimony of what God can and will do. She even gives the formula of how to have favor with our loving God. While she has no
