1 Peter 2:17 " Honour all people, love your fellow believers, fear and honour God and honour the king "

PRAYER INTENTIONS

1. We pray for forgiveness for the Sin of Dishonour. Dishonour to God, dishonour to our parents, elders, subordinates, friends, colleagues and any other person we may have dishonoured.

2. We pray for God to restore unto us his Mercy and graces and favours that we have lost as a result of dishonour.

3RD PRINCIPLE TO ACTIVATE FAVOUR & GRACE IN YOUR LIFE.

THE LAW OF HONOUR

So you have strategically prayed, and are consistent with prayer, you have aligned yourself with covenants God has made with people or systems that carry grace and favour, you are trying to obey the precepts of God, you have recognised the anointing of your king makers and tapped into it- what next 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️?

The next thing is HONOUR-

HONOUR GOD-

HONOUR HUMANS

The word " honour " and all its nuances appear 184 times throughout the BIBLE - this alone should tell you it is an important subject for discussion. I was going to give you some Scriptural verses to read on your own, but I know some people will not do it- so let’s read them here-

• 1 Timothy 1:17 “All honour and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God”

• John 5:23 “ That all may honour the Son just as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father, who sent him .”

• Ephesians 6:2-3- “ Honour your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth ”

• 1 Peter 2:17- “ Honour all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, and honour the king ”

• Romans 12:10 “ Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves. "

• Romans 2:7 “ To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life. ”

HONOUR is the third principle to programming favour to your life and in life. Anyone who violates HONOUR should forget about FAVOUR with GOD and MEN.

What is HONOUR? - Honour is the ability to discern, to acknowledge, celebrate, and reward a being or a thing’s uniqueness.

Let me show you-how many of us though we are well meaning have closed the doors of favour. Everything that you HONOUR- multiplies in your life, hope you have not forgotten THE LAW OF MULTIPLICATION- whatever you DISHONOUR is authorised to leave you, a thing, whatever- a person dishonours will automatically leave- it is a law.

HONOUR is a powerful key that if you do not know its operations- you will never rise in life.

What is honour? That I recognise the importance of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit upon my life, that I recognize the importance of the operations of the DIVINE MERCY in my life, that I recognize and honour my life and yours as well, that I recognize the wisdom that is upon your life, and that I recognize your services and contribution to my existence.

So tell me, which door did you close, as a result of DISHONOUR? For instance, everybody celebrates your sister except you- because she is your sister abi. That inability to discern to acknowledge and to recognize what she represents, that familiarity - you remember Jesus could not perform many miracles because of the unbelief and dishonour of his hometown folks- there are many whose families are dying of the same things they are anointed to release others from- because in the home there is no honour- they lack the operations of the law of recognition.

Do you have the fortitude to discern what people represent? Do you? People have destroyed favour in their lives, just by dis-honour. So you disrespect everyone, your parents, etc, - The same man who has married you, the same institution that helped you, the same man that employed you, you talk about him and insult him behind his back. Oh you heard that he was born by a teenage mother and he was found on a refuse dump, that he grew up in an orphanage, meanwhile at age 32 he is your boss, a millionaire for that matter, without whom you and your family will starve, and you are what? 45 ,57, 39 years of age and working in his company and instead of you to respect and salute the anointing on his head, humble yourself learn from him, you are insulting him, running your mouth like the engine of my car, meanwhile you are still expecting his money as salary at the end of the month and you won't give him the honour, and you think you will rise-SMH.

Your wife that you are maltreating, your children that you are abusing, your friends that you are betraying, do you know the spiritual mysteries and systems surrounding them. After disrespecting all this people, you are now praying for favour and grace- meanwhile you have forgotten that humans are basically spirits, and spirits have a little but of the gift of presence, the human dimension may not hear, but their spirit has heard you insult the favour dimensions they have, and once you dishonoured the GRACE that is finding expression in their lives, you dishonour the spirit dimension responsible for that dimension of favour and grace- and until you repent and confess your sins, trust me, you won’t get that dimension of favour in your life, because of your dishonour.

Our world is full of DISHONOUR – too much DISHONOUR -- and if we are not careful we may never, walk in dimensions of favour. Dishonour to parents, dishonour to leaders, dishonour to hands that once fed you, dishonour to one another, dishonour to the Holy Spirit, that is why we never experience his presence.

We learnt about the law of recognition, hope you didn’t forget, I look at her and I say - oh she is a woman of God a very great woman of God. Madam, I recognize you, I acknowledge you, I acknowledge the hand of God upon you. – Honour-

My wife, my husband, I salute you, I honour the anointing on your head, thank you for everything, your sacrifices- God bless you.- HONOUR -

Man of God, I acknowledge the hand of God on your life, I appreciate you sacrifices, your labour and allowing yourself to be used by God to bring his graces closer, man of God, God bless you- HONOUR -

Boss I thank you for your mentorship, am learning a lot, I know it is not your birthday or any celebration, but I just want to appreciate you and celebrate you- honour…

See eerrh, Wisdom is justified by her children, when you see the results of a man or woman be careful- don't trivialise or underestimate it. We live in a society where we have programmed ourselves to trivialise and belittle the extent of people’s impacts – and we do it intentionally to show that it is not a big deal. We run our mouth, saying things like " what is it about it about him, that my boss, that my mother, that my father, that pastor, that my sister, is he the only one, is she the only one, other people are doing it, it is no big deal ." We take delight in running people down at the least opportunity.

Listen, once you dishonour that man of God, your wife, your husband, your friend, even in the silence of your heart, you are in effect dishonouring the anointing on their heads, and if you don’t repent of your sins of dishonour, even if the man of God prays for you, because you have dishonoured him, you may not get results. It is a law, let’s stop taking things for granted ooh.

Practicing honour will sting your ego because everyone also believes he is a champion / but sometimes you need to also get down on your knees and swallow your pride and recognise what is at work in the lives of other people.

Everyone you see, whether young or old carry a particular dimension of God’s grace- and once you dishonour the person, hmmm- it is a law, please take what am teaching you seriously.

Jesus went to his city and could not do many things there - because of dishonour. They didn't recognise or respect him, so the GRACE and FAVOUR at work in Jesus' life found no expression in his hometown, all because of dishonour. So Jesus will say " no prophet is respected in his own backyard "

There are many wives married to husbands who are holding strange graces that never flowed into them, because of dishonour. There are many husbands who are married to wives with powerful dimensions of God’s grace, but are still lacking in that dimension because of dishonour.

Honour is the discerning, the outspoken, celebration of the Hand of God upon a man or woman. What is at work in a man's life and is not at work on your life, you owe a duty to recognize, to celebrate and acknowledge it. NEVER get into that pride of indoctrination - that when you trivialize other people you are trying to show who is Boss.

See eerrh, there are two ways to the top, you up can climb or cut everyone's head on the way to the top. Am showing you the easier way out.

If I acknowledge you, does it reduce anything from me? Look up, people already know what you represent, if you are anointed they know, if you are gifted they know, if you are skilled they know. If you are good at your job they know - you do not need to make noise to make news, just make moves and the moves you make will generate news-

Let me tell you, you make your uniqueness worthy of admiration- when you celebrate that of others- it’s a secret people do not know. You get to the top by lifting people not cutting their heads. So the next time you see someone TRIVIALISING or belittling someone or discussing people in a negative way, don't partake WALK AWAY. Tell the person, no please, I won't be part of this, and I won't join you to sow seeds of dishonour.

You remember what happened in 2Kings 2:23, “ Elisha left Jericho and went up to bethel. Now Elisha was a bald man- as he was walking along the road, a group of boys from the town began mocking and making fun of him. Go away, baldy! They chanted. Go up you baldhead, go up you baldhead. Elijah turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord ”-DISHONOUR hmm- then two bears came out of the woods and finished 42 of the boys.

That is what dishonour can do to you. Spiritual bears are destroying some of you because of dishonour.

Dishonour can shut the door of FAVOUR. Someone would have given you a job since the 80’s but when they got to know - while discussing you with another associate – the associate told your to be helper that you are noted for dishonour and biting any hand that feeds you and said to your to be helper- “ don't bring this man to your office - he is trouble, I acknowledge his brilliance and hard work but he is trouble .”

“ Oh that lady I know her she is good at her job, very hardworking but if you bring her into your office she WILL turn every one against you. ” And that is how people promised you things but changed their mind, the next time you are calling them, they won’t pick, you will call and call they won’t pick- then you come to me and say people promise you and fail so I should pray for you- meanwhile you are the cause of your own predicaments- because of your dishonour.

There are some of you, you honour only those higher than you and dishonour those lower than you. Honour is a culture you must sustain. It is difficult for those higher than you to see your attitude of dishonour because you honour all of them or at least you give them fan fool respect, but your subordinates, those lower than you, that’s where the issue is.

The Sacrifice of honour doesn't kill- it lifts. It lifts ooh, it lifts. I keep telling you sacrifices is not only about money ooh, you can sow seeds of honour. There are grandparents that bless their house-helps and not their grandchildren, they call the uneducated house help and say I want to bless you, you have been so good and patient with me, come and let me bless you. Then the house help will ask what about your grandchildren and grandpa says don't mind those arrogant boys .

House-help is blessed by a kingmaker who happens to be your grandpa- the next time doors are opening because the house help sowed seeds of honour.

Before I sign out, let me tell you something else about HONOUR, you will reap the benefit of honour if it is sincere and coming from your heart. If the reason why you are honouring is because you want to manipulate - forget it, it won't last, you show honour because you want sincerely want to, no strings attached. That's why God will say in Isaiah 29:13-“ These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught ” So am not even going to take then serious again...

Honour, hmmm, we pray for grace.

Have a prayerful day..

Shalom and God bless you
