Honor
Where Is The Honor?
• “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God…”– Romans 1:21
• “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My respect?' says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, 'How have we despised Your name?”– Malachi 1:6
Understanding Honor
• To Show Honor Is To Assign: Value, Worth, or Weight
• Honor Is To Be Given In Every Direction: Above You, Beside You, Below You
• To Show Dishonor Is To Treat Something: Common, Ordinary, Disrespectfully, Shamefully
The Level of Honor You Give Is Determined By
The Value You Perceive.
• When You Perceive Value: You Protect It.• When You Perceive Value: You Praise It.• When You Perceive Value: You Prioritize It.• The Heart-breaking Reality:
Familiarity Is the Enemy of Honor.
The Level of Honor You Receive Is Determined By
The Amount of Honor You Give.
• We will not receive God’s blessings, when we do not give appropriate levels of honor.
• How much honor have I really invested?• Have I tried to put a disclaimer on dishonor?• Every time we enter our home, work, school,
or church we can give the honor due.
Showing Honor Is About What You Decide, Not What They Deserve.
• Christ Has Shown The Ultimate Honor– Romans 5:7
• We honor others based on who God is to us.– 1 Timothy 6:1,16
• Determine: I will pass the Honor Test. Everywhere God wants me to show honor, I will show it, because He is worthy.
