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.
