TOPIC : THE PRINCIPLES OF HONOUR
TEXT 1 SAMUEL 2:27-30
[27]And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
[28]And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
[29]Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
[30]Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
What is honour?
Honour means regard with high esteem.
It means discerning that something or someone is of certain level of value and according that person with reverence.
Honour is a seed whose harvest is a master key that opens every door no matter who closed it.
Honour is a ladder that moves you to the next level irrespective of the barriers installed.
Because honour is a seed, it also responds to the law of harvest as was revealed in Genesis 8v22.
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease"
The Lord declared that He was willing to honour Eli until Eli's family began to despise Him.
Beloved, whatever you dishonour diminishes in your life.
I pray that God will reinstate us by the reason of this light in the name of Jesus.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
