“God's
Favor”
Scholastic Motivational Ministries (SMM)
Northern Georgia Second Ecclesiastical Jurisdictional COGIC
“Thou hast granted me life and favor, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit”. Job 10:12
Greetings in the precious name of our LORD and our Savior Jesus Christ:
God, in his never-ending mercy gives us to know that “His Favor” is absolute and complete.
Our youth is the most “irreplaceable asset” that we have, even more valuable that our 401K; however,
the question is: are we putting enough time in nurturing, developing and culturing them? “Young
people learn by example”. The way we go about our daily task of living our lives, and conducting our
business, is what our Youth are zeroing in on, not the way we act when we are in our “Church Mode”.
The ways we allow our inner most private lives to be played out in the public eye is what our youth
and the world outside of our churches see and gauge us by.
Saints of GOD, we are the only example that our youth and the world see.
Psalms 90:17 reminds us that, “The Favor of the Lord our GOD will confirm the work of our hands”.
As our Jurisdiction, our Districts and our Churches grow and as our Christian lives strive to be more
like Christ, remember Jesus example toward the children, how Jesus loved them and took time with
them.
Jesus admonishes us in Proverbs 22:6 to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it”.
Our Bishop Leads by example, he has often said, “follow me, as I follow Christ”. Bishop Walden, we
want you to know that your Scholastic Motivational Ministry pledge to follow and support your
vision for our youth; we pray for your cabinet; our anointed Elect Lady, Evangelist Dorothy Walden,
our Supervisor of Women and her cabinet; and for you “Northern Georgia Two” for without YOU,
there is no need for us.
Please remember the Scholastic Motivational Ministries and our youth as we are:
"Preparing Today's Generation to be tomorrow’s Leaders"
“In the Spirit of Excellence”
Saints continue to walk in the favor of GOD,

[Speaker:]
Some people have seen where God has brought you from. They really don’t understand it. They don’t know your
story.
[Choir Verse:]
You don’t know my story. You don’t know the things that I’ve come through. You cannot imagine. The pain the
trials I’ve had to endure.
You don’t know my story. You don’t know the day He set me free. You cannot imagine the strongholds and the
walls that severed me.
[Reprise]
In all God has been faithful to me. He promised He would never leave me. My story proves that God can use me
Deliverance is my testimony. You don’t know -- my story! You don’t know -- my story.
[Lead 1:]
You don’t know my story; the anguish and the guilt that consume me. Grateful I can tell it. For no more shall the
shackles condemn me.
You don’t know my story. For if you did you would lift up your hands. So just let me tell you. By faith you may
as well break out and dance.
[Reprise]

(He won’t forsake me.) You don’t know my story -[Vamp:]
I’m delivered, here’s my story. Life and Favor upon me He brought me out. You don’t know it, let me tell it
Life and favor upon me He brought me out.
God of Mercy He who loves me. Life and favor upon me He brought me out. Oh how wondrous is my story
Life and favor He brought me out.
Can’t imagine what I’ve gone through. Life and favor upon me He brought me out. Can’t imagine what I’ve
gone through. Can’t imagine.
[Key Change]
I’m delivered, here’s my story. Life and favor upon me He brought me out. You don’t know it; let me tell it
Life and favor upon me He brought me out. God of mercy He who loves me. Life and favor upon me He

17
The Favor, Grace and Love of GOD
“God’s emeritus favor/grace/love is total and complete; even though we are imperfect and incomplete,
God loves us unconditionally”!
Even when we feel lost, God's love embraces us completely. Allow God to “Lead you and to guide you
along life’s way, for, if HE leads you, you will not stray”. You only need to say: “Lord, let me walk
each day with thee, lead me or Lord lead me”.
God loves each and every one of us, even those of us who feel flawed, incomplete, awkward,
incompetent, fragmented, damaged, broken, worthless, unappreciated, undervalued, rejected, weak and
dejected.
“Always remember and NEVER forget”, you are not who others say you are.
“You are what God has ordained you to be”, only GOD’s favor, grace and love matters; to accept
God's favor/grace/love, “you alone must first trust him with your whole heart”, and believe that He is
GOD and that there is “NONE” like him.
We become puppets when we allow anything/anyone other than God to effectively pull our string...
Understand that God knows your name, as well as your “heart”. All you are required to do is to
“Trust the Lord with your Whole Heart, which requires total/complete reliance on God.
Because of GOD’s favor/grace/love, the word of GOD gives us to know that, “He alone can and will
create in us a Clean Heart “and “Renew a right Sprint within us”, then our testimony becomes:
"I’m delivered, here’s my story. God’s Life and favor upon me, brought me out. You don’t know it let
me tell it Life and favor upon me He brought me out. God of Mercy He who Loves me”! Life and
favor upon me He brought me out. Oh how wondrous is my story life and favor upon me He brought
me out. You can’t imagine what I’ve gone through, life and favor upon me He brought me out. I’m
delivered, that’s my story, life and favor upon me He brought me out. God of mercy; He who loves me,
life and favor upon me He brought me out. Oh how wondrous is my story. Life and favor upon me He
brought me out. You can’t imagine what I’ve gone through. But GOD’s Life and Favor upon me, He
brought me out. (John P. Kee).
“Allow Gods Love, Grace &Favor in your life, and then watch what happen next”
