TOPIC : THE PRINCIPLES OF HONOUR
TEXT: GENESIS 8:21-22
[21]When the Lord smelled the pleasing odor [a scent of satisfaction to His heart], the Lord said to Himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination (the strong desire) of man's heart is evil and wicked from his youth; neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done.
[22]While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
HONOUR IS THE SEED FOR ACCESS.
We grew up in church hearing seed time, harvest time.
So we thought that when we sow on Sunday, we harvest on Monday or at worst by Saturday.
We were not thought that harvest times are tough times.
In Africa, our planting season starts around April and harvests are expected in August.
Within this period, you keep sowing, weeding and watering.
Usually, there is nothing to harvest.
The process of sowing the seed of honour is not cheap.
Sometimes you look foolish.
Other times you look as if you are being used, but it is in this being used that the honoured will give you a lifting hand to your next level.
The bible in Proverbs 18:16 said that,
"A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men."
Keep on serving, soon you will be the one to be served.
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)
