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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
