HONOUR


 TEXT: Matthew 10:41 

He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

The scripture clearly instructed us in First Peter chapter 2 verse 17 to honour all men.

Honour, according to the dictionary simply means 

recognition of importance or value; respect; (of someone, usually for being morally upright and/or competent).

To honour a person therefore means to recognise such one as very important or valuable. You honour a person because he or she has something of value to offer you.

Therefore, for every person that

you honour, you receive a commensurate value of inherent importance,reward, blessing, glory and virtue that the person carries.

For instance when you honour your parents, you receive long life; Ephesians 6:2-3. When you honour your husband as a wife, you gain good favour and blessings from him and from the Lord. As a husband, when you honour your wife, your prayers shall not be hindered. (1Peter 3:7). Honouring the spiritual authority over your life gives you divine covering, direction, prosperity and establishment. 

As parents, you must also learn to honour your children. Younger ones should also honour older ones. Servants (subordinates) must honour their master(Boss). Titus 2:9, 1Peter 2:18.

In general, we must learn to honour all men, whosoever they are-old, young, poor, rich, parents, spiritual authorities, children, masters, slaves all alike. Leviticus. 19:15.

When you see a man who cannot honour men that he sees, such man cannot honour God.

The honour you give to men that you see, goes a long way in spelling out  your honour for God.

You must always GIVE HONOUR TO WHOM IT IS DUE.

BIBLE READING:

Mathew 10:41-42.

 PRAYER FOCUS

Father God, help me to give honour to all men.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
