In Your Favour Our Horn Is Exalted

Scripture: Psalm 89:13-17 And Psalm 75

In Psalm 89:14 we are told, “Righteousness and justice (or judgment) are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.” Verses 16 and 17 say, “In Your name they rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, and in Your favour our horn is exalted.” A kai-ros of favor means the exaltation of our horn. The first question we should ask is what does God mean by the phrase “exalt our horn”? Psalm 75 explains that process. In verses 1 through 5 it talks about being boastful and about self-promotion warning us not to lift up our own horn. It warns not to speak in arrogance. It goes on to say in verse 6 that promotion or exaltation does not come from the east or west nor the south but God is the Judge and He puts down one and exalts another. Verse 10 says, “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.” A kai-ros of favor then is a season where God promises to come and deal with the enemy. Favor forms the foundation for our victory over the enemy’s attacks. God’s favor is a two-edged sword because favor shown us means judgment to the enemy. Part of laying hold of God’s favor means that we have a sincere expectation that His judgment will fall on the enemy releasing our salvation. Unless we can embrace that concept, we may never take the covenantal position necessary to believe God to perform what He has promised.

 Pray for yourself and others around you to gain this favour from the Lord. This time must not pass you by.
