1 Chronicles 4:9-10
We have been studying about Strength, one of the seven spirits of God according to Revelation 5 but before I introduce the fifth spirit called Honour, Psalms 27:1 says, The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Child of God, where is your strength? Where is the strength of a nation? You must understand this; everything that comes from Jehovah is from above [Horizontal] and He chooses a place. The journey of a man is vertical which makes a cross. Therefore, the strength of a nation is in its economy.
Listen to this: the honour of God will bring two things. Spiritually, it will bring a surge in an economy which is revealed in currency and character. Currency is money and money brings peace. When the angel appeared to Mary, he said “…And on earth peace” [Luke 2:14]. The three kings brought money to keep peace on earth [Matthew 2:11]. Our currency as believers is not of this world. God will always give you a currency and character if you are to operate a big and strong economy. Currency is your strength and it’s your flow. I told you that any economy based on biblical economics stands on currency (which is the purchasing power) and character. When people don’t have character they will distort the economy.
Get this: You need currency and character because that’s the strength of the economy, not corruption and consumers. Character will attract blessings and currency will attract investments. Corruption and consumers attract a curse. The bible says, He gives seed to the sower and bread for food [2 Corinthians 9:10]. When you have corruption, you end up with bread, but if you have character and currency, you end up with seed. Where there’s seed, you create fields but where there’s a lot of bread, you end up with latrines and toilets. With a seed, you will have different fields of professionals. Beloved, God gives a seed and not a crop, and that’s why you will have a field of professionals. What you produce or what comes out of you, that’s your strength. With character, this is where you produce people in their fields. Once you’re not in your field that reveals corruption. What happens when you are living in the same field? Who will buy from you? In every currency, there are denominations. The word denomination has a denominator, nomination and nation. Which nation are you? Currencies are for nations. A denomination of one country cannot work in another country unless it is converted. Every economy carries character and currency with different denominations, which denomination are you? Therefore, you need to be on the side of the economy.
People of God, honour is the fifth spirit of God according to Revelation 5, and the bible says Jabez was MORE honourable than his brothers [1 Chronicles 4:9]. His brothers were honourable but he was MORE honourable. His mother calls him Jabez because of sorrow. May be it was because of poverty or illness, pandemic and she decided to call him that. The bible says in Isaiah 8:18, Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. The children whom God has given you are for signs and wonders. The child that God has given you, you shouldn’t abort or kill them, they are for signs and wonders. We are here because of our parents. Mary always interjected Jesus’ ministry but He always called her woman. It was until Jesus was at the cross that He reveal His mother, “[Dear] woman, See, [here is] your son!” and to the son, “See, [here is] your mother,” in other words, son strengthen your mother [John 19:26-27]. The bible says, your children will confront the enemy at the gate [Psalms 127:5]. Your children will tell the enemy that you’re trespassing. Luke 10:19 says, Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Get ready, power has been given to you because you are a child of God. Say like you mean it: I am a child of God.
Jabez’s mother never knew that her child was for a sign and a wonder. 1 Chronicles 4:10 says, And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep [me] from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. The other people who prayed that kind of prayer and God answered quickly were Moses, Elijah, David, Jesus and the NEXT person whom God is gonna answer is YOU because you are of signs and wonders.
As I conclude: to confront sorrow, you need a blessing, enlargement, power, glory and salvation. And God granted him what he requested. Sorrow cannot stand those five. I prophesy, the anointing of the five is coming upon you. So, how do you become a sign? When you who is reflecting the glory of God understand the power to the source of your life, and you say, I love you Lord! You need the world to gaze back to God. You’re the moon and Jesus is the sun. Therefore, Jesus must shine in you so that the world may see. You must let God create wonders in you. The wonders and the glory that are revealed is what we call Honour. We honour God with our first fruits [Proverbs 3:9]. And tonight, we look at Him the author and finisher of our faith [Hebrews 12:2].
