TRUE HONOUR COMES FROM GOD (PART 1)
Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Ps 91:15-16 NKJV “ He shall call upon Me, and I will answer
him;
I will be with him in trouble; I
will deliver him and honor him. “
Honour means to be in high respect; great esteem ,it is the quality of
knowing and doing what is morally right
Man was created to be honoured , the scriptures says God created man in
His likeness ; God desires worship likewise man. It is not abnormal to desire honor ,it is part of the human nature . Human’s desire being liked that’s why in this era of social media ,people will go any
length to be recognized .
God created man to give Him honour , it is the reason why testimonies
are shared to the praise of His name. Ps
29:2 NKJV says “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness. “ and Ps 107:32 NKJV says “Let
them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the
company of the elders. “ Giving testimonies increases our faith for greater
breakthroughs .
During His earthly ministry, Jesus received honour from men Mark 11:8-9 NKJV “And many spread their clothes on the road,
and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' “
We are enjoined to honour our parents
;elders and spiritual leaders , success rides on the wings of honuor . If you
are struggling in life for long you better check to see if you have been
honouring those God commanded us to honour (Eph6:1-2,phill2:29 ,1Th.3:13).You do not
chose who to honour; God does (Jer3:15) That’s why some persons complain that
they’ve been giving offerings and tithes and yet no results , they may have
been giving it to the wrong persons.Ask God to show you who to give your
ceremonial tithes to as a demonstration
of honour for Him like He did to Abraham (Gen14:20,Deut14:23). Honour is a major door opener in marriage, jobs,
finances and business.
True honour comes from God and it attracts
riches and wealth . 1 Kings 3:13-14 NIV
says “Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for — both riches and
honor — so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. “ and Eccl
6:2 NIV says “God gives a man wealth, possessions and honor, so that he lacks
nothing his heart desires, ..” wisdom , diligence ,expertise and proficiency are
virtues from God leading to riches and
honour (Prov8:18) Those who are open to knowledge without the fear of being
judged are promised honour and riches .Being judged is a blessing , it opens
the door to excellence .it is better to be criticized and judged than to
receive praise from men. It is one of the secrets of successful men and woman . Prov
13:18 TLB “If you refuse criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if
you accept criticism, you are on the road to fame. “
As you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
and read this now , receive grace for promotion in Jesus name,
