In my twenty-ive years
o ministry, Ive noticed
that the believers who are
most ul i l led, peaceul
and successul are those
who honor God and honor
others around them. The
beneits o showing honor
are clearly spelled out in
Gods Word.
Unortunately, I have
also seen many people
who dont understand
honor and, as a result,
have caused heartache
in their lives.
Once youve asked God to
put honor in your heart or
all people, your whole lie
will ch ange. Youll t reat the waiter o r waitress die rently . . .
the neighbor who never speaks to you . . . the manager who
mistreats you. A heart o honor star ts with genuine prayer
and obedience to the Word o God.

Those who honor Me I will honor, and thosewho despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

or this.
I you lack this in your lie, ask God to put
honor in your heart or those He died or. He
do it, because its His desire . . . or everyone.
Honor all people (1 Peter 2:17).
When we receive this charge to honor all
people, we start ollowing the Spirit o God,
and everyday lie becomes continuous ministry.
When we honor all, we will not ignore or speak
rudely to those who cross our path; rather, we
walk in a divine low that brings the living waters
o heaven to the thirsty in heart.
Is it hard to smile at people? Diicult to say
kind words to strangers? I believe a simple, kind
word in passing can sow eternal seeds that will

We dont honor just to get
a reward; we honor because
it is the heart ofGod
and it is our delight.

We are instructed
to honor
not just forthe sake of those we honor,
but for us as well.
We personally lose
if we withhold
honor
from whom honor is due.

good times and in bad, we can proclaim, Ive
honored my mother and ather. Gods covenant
promise to me is that I will live a long lie, and it
will go well with me!
To honor our parents is not a suggestion, nor
a recommendation; its a commandment. Honor
can be displayed in deed, word and even thoug
but all true honor originates rom the heart. So
i men or women speak in a ippant, careless or
irreverent way on a regular basis to their parent
they are outwardly displaying a lack o true hon
or their parents. For out o the abundance o th
heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).
Dishonoring our parents has become a normal
way o lie. Even some o the popular amily
movies promote this. The story lines are oten
touching, but the children treat their ather or
mother disrespectully. The movie concludes with
the children getting their hearts desire, even
though they treated their parents with contempt.
You may think Ive gone too ar, but hear what God
says: Cursed is he who dishonors his ather or his
mother (Deuteronomy 27:16 AMP).
On the other hand, i we honor our parents,
Gods promises are made sure in our l ie. So in

To lead in the Kingdom is to serve, not to
dominate. As a husband, you are to lead your wie
and to lay down your lie or her. You will be blesse
and rewarded, and your prayers will not be hinder
We are equal partners joint heirs o the
inheritance o grace. God withholds His avor rom
amilies and churches that view women as being
spiritually inerior to men. A church without a
mothers voice is just as incomplete as a amily
without a mothers voice. It is time to encourage
women in the home and the house o God to walk
in their unique calling.
You husbands must give honor to your wives.
Treat your wie with understanding as you live
together . . . Treat her as you should so your prayers
will not be hindered (1 Peter 3:7 NLT).
In the fnal part o this verse, we see a startling
and remarkable statement: i a husband dishonors
his wie, his prayers will not be heard. Wow,
thats sobering!
Peter says that the man is to honor his wie. This
instruction applies to the simple, tangible things, such
as opening doors or her or pulling out the chair in
the restaurant beore shes seated. My husband has always honored me by encouragthe git o God in my lie.

[Husband]honoring your
the home, she will be rewarded with honor.
It may come directly through her husband, or
other avenues.
A wie who truly honors her husband is maki
an investment or Gods Kingdom. When she
reuses to gossip about her husband, when she
prays or God to give him wisdom, when she tre
him as a leader, God will reward her . . . oten
through the transormation o her husband into t
leader he was meant to be.
Let the wie see that she respects and
reverences her husband [that she notices
him, regards him, honors him, preers him,
venerates, and esteems him; and that she deers
to him, praises him, and loves and admires him
exceedingly] (Ephesians 5:33 AMP).
The husband is the head o the home and
leads the way in honoring God and others. It is
impossible to have true peace and blessing in a
home where a wie leads or dominates and the
husband is not respected as the head. When a
woman o God values her husband as the leader o
God gave us a chargeto honor all.

[God]honoring
When we honor people above God, we
dishonor Him and make ourselves vulnerable to
severe consequences. Nothing, or no one, is to b
honored above Him. He is God and our Savior. W
must always keep this in the oreront o all we d
The only way to walk in true honor is to alway
honor God frst. Enduring honor is ound only in
valuing Him above anything or anyone else. He
is the Great King; He is worthy to receive all our
respect, not just a portion.
Only in our relationship with God should our
honor transcend to worship. When honoring
people supersedes honoring and obeying God,
it alls under the label o ading honor or idolatry,
rather than enduring honor.
Sometimes its easier to honor those we see
than the One we cannot see. However, we must set
convictions in our lives to regulate our responses.
So i someone we respect or love asks us to go
against the Word o God, we cannot honor their
wishes above Gods. Proverbs 3:9 commands us to
Honor the LORD.
