#Honour: Mid-Week Service June-17-2020
Beloved, the plan of God for your life is laid up in the word called HONOUR. If you honour Me, I will honour you, says the LORD. When God honours you or when He speaks to you, we are not there. Whatever He tells you to do, you just have to yield unto Him. Therefore, your response will ignite God. That’s why He says, throw in your tithe and you will see My response [Malachi 3:10]. We were born to give and live. Man is an initiator. When you call upon His name, He answers. As far as the earth is concerned, man initiates and God answers.
Nature cannot control man because God gave him power to control or to tame it. Everything that was created by God is tamable. That’s why you cannot worship trees but ONLY God. Jesus said, if you have faith, [because faith is an initiator] you will tell this mountain to move from here to there and it will move [Matthew 17:20]. Christ wanted us to reach to the point of understanding that we are in charge and we can tame nature. Everything that God created, has the ability to force its way through. The lion can pass through the crowds but if you don’t tame or catch it, it will kill you.
God wants you to initiate and to bring in the raw materials so that He can give you the world you want. When you respond in a unique way, God responds in a divine way. The man with leprosy came to Jesus in a unique way and said, “Lord, if you are willing…” he threw it to Jesus who responded in a divine way [Matthew 8:2-3]. Jesus said, deny yourself, carry your cross and follow me. He said those words before carrying His own, yet He ended up carrying it for each one of us, and that is how we honour God [Matthew 16:24]. Do to others what you want to be done to you.
God has three plans for us when we honour Him as stated in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. The first plan is to prosper you. What you need to understand is that there’s no poverty in God, that’s why the blessing of Abraham comes to us. God wants you to prosper. He wants you to be successful as your soul prospers. As your soul gets salvation, it is the same way God wants you to prosper in other ways. He said to Abraham, I will bless you [Genesis 12]. Prosperity is not only money but also health and wealth. God has a plan to prosper all of us because He is a respecter of no persons. Therefore, as a believer, you honour God by denying yourself, you carry your own cross and follow Him.
Plan not to harm you is the second one. God has people in the city to protect you as we can see in the book of Acts 18:10. And this is where the prayer of Jabez comes in [2 Chronicles 4:10]. Beloved, I want you to believe God and acknowledge all His ways. We are always hurt because of the ways we take. David found himself in the valley of death [Psalms 23:4]. That’s why you need faith because Faith needs love to work. Fear always wages war on faith and love at the same time. Jesus tells us to fear not. He says, if you have faith, you can move mountains. Beloved, initiate faith and confidence in God. God has a beautiful plan to protect, to preserve and to take care of you because He has people in the future.
The last plan gives you hope and a future. Parents with children overseas, give them hope for tomorrow. Hope is a minute from now. The next hour is your tomorrow. Your hope is the brick on which your future is standing. Have hope in God. Hope is also from you; initiate it. Faith and Prayer without HOPE is useless. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Faith, hope and love but remember, faith works through love. How do you honour God? You must have faith, hope and love. Your NOW is taken care of by Faith, your TOMORROW is taken care of by Hope and your FUTURE is taken care of by Love.
As I conclude: You must GIVE. That is, deny yourself and follow Christ. Prayer is giving. There are certain things you’re going to give up on. Your initiation must be giving. We live to give God His honour, glory, majesty, first fruit. When you honour Him, He will honour you [1Sameul 2:30]. Let’s honour God with our substances [Proverbs 3:9].
