“FAVOUR AS A SHIELD”
“For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” – Psalm 5:12Â
Beloved in Christ, as we step into this new month of March, we declare that the favour of the Lord shall surround us like an impenetrable shield!
Just as a shield protects a warrior in battle, God’s favour will guard you, defend you, and cause you to triumph in every area of your life. Let these prayers be your weapon of warfare and your declaration of victory!
The Shield Of Divine Favour
Understanding Your Shield
In ancient warfare, a shield was not just a piece of defensive equipment, it was the difference between life and death. Roman soldiers carried shields that could cover their entire body, protecting them from arrows, spears, and sword strikes. But here’s the revelation: God says His favour will “compass” you as with a shield.
The word “compass” means to surround completely, to encircle on every side, leaving no vulnerable area exposed.

This is not ordinary favour. It is not just people liking you or being nice to you. It is divine favour, supernatural, unexplainable, and unstoppable.
When God’s favour surrounds you like a shield, you become untouchable by the enemy. You become a walking miracle. You become a testimony that confounds the wisdom of this world!
The Power of Divine Favour
Listen to me carefully: Favour is not about what you deserve, it’s about what God has decided to release over your life!
When favour showed up in Joseph’s life, it took him from the pit to the palace. It was favour showed up in Esther’s life, she went from orphan to queen and saved an entire nation. When favour showed up in Ruth’s life, she went from poverty and widowhood to becoming the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Jesus Christ!
Favour will make you succeed where others have failed. Favour will open doors that have been locked for generations. Favour will cause people to remember you for good when they’ve forgotten everyone else. Favour will turn your test into a testimony and your mess into a message!
Why You Need Favour as a Shield THIS Month
We are living in times when the enemy is launching attacks from every direction—financial attacks, health attacks, relationship attacks, mental attacks. But I have good news for you: When favour surrounds you as a shield, every arrow of the enemy falls to the ground powerless! Every weapon of darkness breaks upon impact! Every evil plan is frustrated before it can materialize!

The Bible says in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” Why? Because you’re shielded by divine favour!
The Righteousness Connection
Notice the Scripture says, “For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Your righteousness is not your own, it’s the righteousness of Christ imputed to you! When you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you were clothed in His righteousness. This means you qualify for this shield of favour not because you’re perfect, but because you’re covered by the blood of Jesus!
Stop disqualifying yourself! Stop thinking you’re not good enough! The moment you became born again, God declared you righteous, and that righteousness gives you access to this impenetrable shield of favour!
