In a recent live stream from Alwyn Uys, viewers were reminded that the mysterious workings of their lives are not governed by chance, but by the sovereign hand of God. Uys shared a heartfelt testimony and prophetic encouragement for those who have been experiencing turmoil, uncertainty and unexplainable challenges in their homes and personal lives.
“There’s this phrase that’s been coming up a lot lately,” Uys shared. “You’re not lucky, you’re favored.” While seemingly simple, the statement holds deep spiritual truth. “For us as Christians, we don’t believe that there is such a thing as luck. We know that God orchestrates the steps of a man.”

Uys recounted returning home after two and a half weeks of ministry travel to find his door wide open. Given that he lives in South Africa, his initial reaction was fear—concern that someone had broken in. But everything was untouched.
“I saw my TV is there, the iPad is there—everything is still in its place,” he said. “I got this cold feeling over my whole body… but nothing was missing. Nothing was gone.”
What appeared to be a dangerous oversight was instead a powerful display of divine favor. “Immediately, I realized that it’s not luck. It’s favor. It’s God’s protection.”
He encouraged viewers to consider the many ways God might be shielding them without their awareness: “Car accidents have been avoided, house break-ins have been avoided, illnesses have been avoided because of the protection of God.” Referencing Job’s story, Uys reminded listeners that just because we can’t see what God is doing, doesn’t mean He’s not at work.
For those experiencing breakdowns in their finances, relationships or daily peace, this word was especially poignant. “It just feels like you’re working, you get your salary, and before you know it, it’s just gone. It’s like there’s a hole in your pocket,” he said. “Father, I pray that you cover up this hole.”

Two scriptures served as anchors in Uys’ heartfelt message.
First, Psalm 91:11—“For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.”
Second, Zechariah 2:5—“For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.” Uys encouraged viewers to declare these verses and meditate on them daily as declarations of divine security.
In a world full of chaos and confusion, this prophetic reminder shines clearly: you are not at the mercy of random events—you are covered by the hand of God.
