Let’s be real. Sometimes, it feels like God has His guys.
You pray, fast, and even sow seed, but somehow, Sister Chinyere testifies again that she got a miracle alert—without praying! 😳
You hustle, stay faithful, and trust God, but Brother Samuel (who just repented last week) lands a dream job effortlessly.
Meanwhile, you’re like: “God, shey You dey whine me ni?” 😭
So… does God play favorites?
God’s VIP List?
If we’re being honest, some Bible verses seem to suggest that God does, in fact, have special people:
📖 “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” – Romans 9:13
📖 “David is a man after My own heart.” – Acts 13:22
📖 “The disciple whom Jesus loved…” – John 13:23 (John was clearly feeling himself 😂)
So, is God partial? Does He pick and choose His favorites while the rest of us just manage?
Favoritism vs. Favor
First, let’s clear something up—God doesn’t have favorites the way humans do. But He does give favor.
And favor isn’t random; it’s a response to alignment, purpose, and relationship.
Think about it:
- Abraham left everything to follow God—so God made him a father of nations.
- David spent years seeking God in the wilderness—so God anointed him as king.
- Mary was highly favored, not because she was lucky, but because she was chosen for a divine assignment.
Favor isn’t about God picking names out of a hat; it’s about walking in step with Him.
But Why Do Some People Seem to Get More? 🤔
Some reasons include:
1️⃣ Assignment-Specific Favor: God gives more to those carrying bigger responsibilities. Think of Joseph—he suffered for years because his favor was tied to a nation-saving destiny.
2️⃣ Closeness Brings More: James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” If you sit at the front row of grace, you’ll hear more and receive more.
3️⃣ Kingdom Economy: Some people understand and apply spiritual principles better—like generosity, obedience, and faith—so they reap the rewards.
So, What About Me?
Here’s the good news: God isn’t hoarding blessings for a select few. His table is big enough for everyone.
You don’t have to be the next David or Esther to be loved by God. In fact, you already are:
📖 “For God so loved THE WORLD…”
(John 3:16)
No VIP section, no exclusives. Just open invitation.
The real question is—are you sitting at the table or just staring from afar?
