TOPIC : THE PRINCIPLES OF HONOUR
TEXT : 1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18
[17]Let the elders who perform the duties of their office well be considered doubly worthy of honor [and of adequate financial support], especially those who labor faithfully in preaching and teaching.
[18]For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain, and again, The laborer is worthy of his hire. [Deut. 25:4; Luke 10:7.]
Beloved, your spiritual leaders are labourers.
What they do is a job.
It is only in Christianity that the spiritual leaders are treated without honour by the practitioners.
Traditionalists who worship dead god's know that they cannot appear before the priests of their deities casually.
If they try it, they will become casualties.
Saul asked the servant on their way to prophet Samuel's house if they had something to give to the prophet.
Our scripture for today declared that your spiritual leaders deserve not just honour but double honour.
You may not have substance to give them today, but there are many other ways through which you can honour them.
Ask the Holy spirit and He will show you.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
