Honor

Honor seems to be a dirty word in the church. When was the last time you heard a preaching on honor in the church building you attend? Its right up there with the Holy Spirit, Speaking in tongues and the Return of Christ, you just don’t hear much about it.  I am on a mission to bring awareness to the Bride about honor. I can just hear the Pastors and Leaders now saying, yeah girl tell them. Except honor is an equal opportunity requirement from God. Yes, we should honor our Pastors and Leaders but they are also required to give honor. In fact, if you are in any position of leadership, you should be the first to set the example. It is clear through scripture that honor will bring a generational blessing into your life. And the opposite is also true, a lack of honor will bring a generational curse.  All you have to do is look at King Saul and his family and you will see that. We read many stories in the Bible where people opened themselves up to the consequence of the lack of honor.  Such an example is  when Miriam was bad mouthing Moses and the Lord struck her with leprosy…….The sin was a lack of honor. I once had a Pastor that showed a lack of honor for everyone and every year the face of his church changes…..meaning he is always starting over.  Its a cycle that will not be broken until honor is restored. Many of us are not walking in the Prophetic Promises we have been given because of the lack of honor we show our parents, our Leaders, our children, our husbands, our wives and or our employers. Honor is very important to God in Romans 12:9-10, God puts it like this  Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other. Selah (Stop and calmly think about that)
