Today, I want to share with you a piece of revelation I received from my good friend Damir Alec Sicko from Zagreb, Croatia. He brought forth a message at our recent gathering in Asheville, NC. He began his message sharing how there is a difference between the source of life an what sustains life. We are to honor the source of our life. God, our parents, the one who writes our paycheck, the one who brings us spiritual life, the one who feeds us both natural food and spiritual food are the ones in our life the Bible tells us to honor.
Romans 13:7-8 (NIV) "Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law."
We honor God when we honor those that He has put in our life. Identify those that God ha placed in your life and begin to humble yourself and honor them.
Proverbs 15:33 (NIV) "Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,mand humility comes before honor."
Proverbs 27:17-18 (NIV) "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,and whoever protects their master will be honored.
Proverbs 15:33 (NIV) "Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,mand humility comes before honor."
Proverbs 27:17-18 (NIV) "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,and whoever protects their master will be honored.
If you want to gain honor then we must show honor. It always comes back to sowing and reaping. We can not sow to reap. Honor must come from the heart of a giver. We honor because we know to whom honor is due. Where there is no honor we break the flow of the source of life coming into our life.
Matthew 13:54-58 (NIV) " Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothersJames, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Action step: Who is your in your life that has been a source of life to you? Honor them. Many have died early because they cut themselves off from their source of life. The scripture that says to honor your mother and father...that you will have long life is truth. Do not take this scripture lightly. Where can you honor and how can you honor those in your life.
