Message:
You will do very well to listen to this message. It could be the most important message for the year.
The first point to make is this: does God has favorite? The answer is a resounding YES! Any preacher telling you otherwise has not read his bible very well.
There are prayers and there are prayers. There are prayers you can pray and it would make up for 2000 prayers.
It was Miriam and Aaron that spoke against Moses, criticizing him for marrying an Ethiopian woman. God summoned all of them to come out where everybody could see them.
God appeared unto telling them that Moses was His meekest prophet that He talked with mouth to mouth and was displeased with both siblings. Immediately God departed from them, Miriam became leprous. Why did this happened? Moses was God’s favorite and God defended his interest.
The big truth is that God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit has favorites.
Caleb was God’s favorite, Abel, Enoch was God’s favorite. The Bible says Enoch walked with God. The man just disappeared and walked up to heaven.
G.O narrates a real life incident:
There was a children Sunday school class some years back and a little boy was asked to talk about (describe) Enoch. The boy said ‘Enoch was a very close friend of God and then He talk, talk and talked with God. Sometimes after talking with God, God escorts Enoch back to his house. One day, Enoch escorted God to his house and he didn’t come back. That was the description of Enoch by that little boy.
Noah too was God’s favorite too. He began building an ark for 120 years. He found grace in the eyes of the Lord and God preserve him and family from destruction.
Abraham and Sarah were God’s favorites, God blessed them mightily. Up till date, we still sing about Abraham. David was God’s favorite, he took after God’s heart.
Mary too was God’s favorite. An angel appeared before her and said she is highly favored among women. Mary never performed miracle nor did she heal anyone but her name is still remembered today.

The best thing that can happen to you as a believer is to become God’s favorite. The Bible says secret things belongs to God but He reveals those secrets to his servants the prophet. He now said ‘Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm’. Any time God’s anointed is touched, there is always a strong reaction from God.
God himself pursued Jonah when Jonah went away from the presence of God. Cain went away from the presence of God and was not bothered about him. You must strive to become God’s favorite.
One of the great men in the Bible was Ananias. Everyone was running away from Saul. God went to Ananias and called him by name to go lay hands on Saul and baptize him. The man (Ananias) did not doubt God and he went straight to Saul. God spoke to him because he was God’s favorite. He went to Saul and said ‘Brother Saul, the Lord who appeared to you has sent me to you’. Ananias was a favorite of God.
God cannot be treating disobedient children and obedient children the same way.
The truth is that if you want to become God’s favorite, it is a personal decision. Move close to Him and He will move close to you. You are as close to God as you will like to be.
Listen carefully beloved, as human beings: there are things you can do to become someone’s favorite. Whether in your place of work, in your school, in your homes. If you keep being unruly, disobedient, insulting, abusive, you cannot become someone’s favorite. You may be brilliant but if you keep disrespecting the person, others will be promoted and you’ll be ignored.
When you become God’s favorite, it is better than becoming man’s favorite.
