And those of us who love him and a ship

One's speciality appreciate God for the.

Life of our father. It's aminas they had shot last

for what they're not. It's posing in to do in

our lives. And it's not love. Start Boston man that

shouts as well, like you did it.

A hallelujah, don't you neighbor and tell your name? But

we haven't Father who loves us, and we love him.

I don't know about you, but if God gives you

a gift, we appreciate him for that. Can we do

it one more time and appreciate God for the gifts

in the life of our father that he has commenced.

Amen.

And today we are privileged to have the presence of

Bishop Emeritus.

Oh can you can you do it better? That we

have shopped the herots per set in our face? Can

you shout it and appreciate God for his life a man?

And we have a shepherd in this house. Yes, And

the Bible says that who teaches us with knowledge and

true understanding, a spiritual shipping that the Lord has given us.

And we love the particular sheppard he has given us

in every way, in every form and a lot of time.

God for the life of the Prophet of God. The

Bishop bishop to ll that Carringer's chance. Can you do

it better for our pastor?

A man?

Turn to someone and tell the person this is the

first Sunday of the year. How you will move with it?

Tell me what's do you see? I will help you

not to be bought. I will help you to put

fire in you. So if you see it paid it

just come back online.

Oh tell that person, like, if you see it happening,

you don't be angry, be active because in this change, hey,

you have to be active.

Are you shouting it? And I appreciate the person starting lessons,

they take your seats. Love lesson a man? Yes, and

like revenge. Jerimaya said.

This second service is dedicated to our bishop, the prophet

of God. And I don't know about you, but even

if you are not come, I come to your house

and preach this one to you because it is important

a man. And today we want a bush shop to rest. Yeah,

because he has been pouring into us. We want him

to rest so that we celebrate him. Do you understand

what I'm saying? Yes, if if God touches I heard.

You might allow him to hold the microphones more that.

Amen, because today we are celebrating him, hallelujah. And it

is very important that we understand why we are celebrating

him and why it is very important for us to

celebrate him. So this morning, I'm pretty to you shortly

on the essence of Honorine. If you want to talk

to your neighbor before you can buy the time, I'm done,

So you have to really pay attention and be with us.

Hallelujah.

The essence of Honorine, you have to write it down,

and I want to surely show you what it means

to honor.

So when you talk about anna, anna means to.

Show appreciation, respect, or affection for someone with a public celebration.

That's what the Merriam Webster says that to honor is

to show appreciation, respect, or affection for someone with a

public celebration. So it tells us that if you decide

that you it is only in your heart that you

will honor.

We will not know when you have affection towards someone.

We have to see it.

When you love someone, it has to come with expression

when you have affection and feelings towards someone. Definitely, some

of the things that you will do will let us

know that you love this Amen, and you have to

let that person feel, even if he is not around,

that you love him or you love him. Are you

understanding what I'm saying? And that is the public display

of what you have on the inside of you, and

you are showing it forth for others to see that

indeed you admire this person, Indeed you respect this person.

Indeed you appreciate this person. And if it's not done properly,

it's also a the standard.

Amen.

So some people, if you're listening to the radio and

you watch the internet and adds will let you.

Know that anerin is no good? Why are you? Why

are you doing this for something?

As you know, a human being like you, and they

will discourage you because they don't know the implications of it.

And as a next generation church that we have manday

to impact our generation, we cannot go wrong.

We have to know some of these things. Are you

here with me? Hallelujah?

And Biblically, Biblically, to honor means to treat people with

respect and value.

Them for who they are or what they have done. Amen.

In the Bible, when you talk about honoring, it means

that to treat people with respect and value them for

who they are.

Or what they have done, for who they are and

what they have done. And if you.

Acknowledge that someone has done something in your life, if

you honer him or her is in accordance. It is

what the Bible expressed us to do. It is what

God expressed us to do, and it is what is

beneficial for us to do. So the Bible said that

we should give anna to whom anna is due. And

when you read Malachai, the Bible said that if I

am your father, where is my anna? So it means

that God is even looking for anna from his children.

That if you recognize me as a father to you,

if you recognize me as someone who has done something

for you, where pain is my anna? So in one way,

if you are not showing someone that what he has

done for you you recognize, it's then it is not honoring. Oh.

I know people who will say that, oh I like

this person, but they will never show it. And I'm

not like that. I don't want people to know that

it say.

No, the reason why they have broken your hand several

times is because of this attitude. Turn to that person,

then a change. Now, why why do you love someone?

And said that you don't want to express it, and

you want that person to be a magician.

To know.

God is saying that if you are not able to

and not me, show it, respect it, revere it. It

is that the fear of the Lord must cause you

to know.

It is very important to do this. Why would you

fear God? Why would you fear him?

It is very important to do so, because in the

Old Testament it was like God was much good to

go to good with them.

If you don't, I'm not him. H you all things

to happen.

And in our times he has given us chances upon chances.

And he said that in the times of your ignorance,

the Lord brings us. But now that you know he

expect us to do that. The marble said that Sam

and his father, and the sevant his master. If then

I am the father, where is my honor? And if

I am a master, where is my reverence? Says the

Lord of Hosts to your priesthood despises my name? Yet

you say, in what way have we despised your name? Attitude,

our behaviors, a character, the way and manner we do

things shows that indeed, whether we have him or not, hallelujah,

please come with me to face Thessalonians to the five.

I read from verse number twelve to their team briefly

and enalty, enalty. The Bible said that dear brothers and sisters,

and not those who are your leaders in the Lord's week,

they work hard among you and give you spiritual titans.

Showed them great respect and whole hearted love because of

the a Waki, and live peacefully with each other. He

said that showed them with great respect and whole hearted

love because of dear wicked. The work is so hard

that board recognizes it, and it tells you that if

it doesn't show such a person who is doing the

work with love.

The pain that he alone carries.

Sometimes when you have things that you are dealing with,

it is easy for you to go to him, and

you ask yourself that when he also is facing.

That same situation, who is he going to.

And then, on top of it, when you have the

slightest opportunity, you disregard this person.

You disrespect this person can go back to the restaurant

and look at it.

Dear brothers and sisters, so that I'm not bos who

as your leaders in the lawsuit.

They wake heard among you and give you spiritual guidance.

They work hard.

Last bishop was saying that whiles you pore, everyone was

asleep in their homes.

He was here praying, pouring oil around so that the

environment will be saturated.

The environment will be conducive that when you come and

you'll forget the pains you are going through, your prayer

has been answered already. Imagine, as you are sleeping, he's

also sleeping. Imagine as you are sleeping. He said that, Oh,

I've dedicated this week that I want to put off

my head only.

And the church. Do you understand what I'm saying?

And imagine that you have a leader who does not

care about you, who does not love you, and who

organize things meetings to make sure that you grow spiritually,

to make sure that you become strengthened, to make sure

that you are planted in the things of the Lord.

Then where would the next generation be?

That we are privileged enough that we have a leader

who will not take some of these things for granted,

that will sacrifice and inconvenience himself so that pains will

be done right.

And the Bible is saying that such a leader deserves

a double.

Our father, his eminence says that any time that he

has to tell you that I'm the man of the house,

that he does not have to blow his trumpet. He

does not have to appreciate himself. It is the people

that he is I came with who.

Was appreciate him.

So some of yours you are sitting that you're saying that,

and a first and day you have to church and

you have to appreciate me. He said that you have

dedicated intribution. Please, is this not a Bible? Is I'm

not part of what God wants us to do?

Amen? Do you know that even in the Old Testament

when you get married, they dedicate one full year.

So that you an your wife and your wife well

for you don't go to battle, don't go anywhere, just

to be around and enjoy. But in this particular work

you don't have holidays.

M h.

And that that if first that was Vicial's birthday, that

will pray for him. Someone need that prayer. Said that

my prayer side, let.

Me go and do it. This one.

I could be said, natifc with every day coming in Nay,

there is no holiday, there's no rest. So he said

that they work a hat among you spiritually and physically,

and they deserve and the book.

And we have to be there. We have to honor

them wholehearted me and we have to do it with

our hearts. And as a.

Nursey church, we want to cultivate that child that we

will amer our bishop, we will anner our global lead

pastor wherever we find ourselves, and we will are not

the pastors, we will another shepherds. We will are not

the members. We will under everyone because it's one of

us here and not instumed to us one way, hallelujah.

And if in some of us we are to the center,

we even feel shy to associate that he's a pastor,

the same way that I don't want people to know

you have a Bible. We put it in the bag

and in another bag, and we've covered.

It again him.

The reason why they need us, for us to under

them is that they work hard among us. If you haven't,

if you don't have any idea, that is very important.

I remember when we had a conference. We started from

serving throughout the night and we closed around One bishop

used with us.

And he said that I'm tape, but I need to

finish this, and we went back.

None in his again, some of the meetings that is

called because it is that a general meeting. Some of

you are not here, and he cannot accept himself exact

that you even want that that what time do you

even have for your wife and family?

That you dedicate all this time for the children of

who it's because of the love and because he knows

that Old.

Has given us in his case, and as he's working hard,

I came here to tell you this morning that he

deserves a double am.

Amen. Breaking my message to an end, I want to

show you some of the ways you can earner. Do

you understand?

You're like, oh, we came to say this, you didn't

show us how to I'm sure so that so that

you're not going inside that how will I do it?

I'm showing you put it down. Number one, pray for them,

some of you when we are leading prayer and you

have to kill witches and take the way you pray.

He said that, So let's pray for our pasta and

everybody's parents goes down, so that all of a sudden

they have stretched your battery off.

We can't hear what you are saying again, then he say,

and the enemy knows that, so the Bible said that

I feels striking the shiphid. The ship was scattered. So

it is very important that we put practice.

It is very important that we secure his life, we

secure his health, because the enemy is not after all

of us. He's after the shiphid that he knows that

really strikes the shepherd. Everyone wants, so this is very

important that we pray for them. There is no day

that you have to pray and you don't say a

prayer for a pasta and for our pasion, because you

understand what I'm saying. You have to recognize him as

the man of God and as the man of God

for who he is Matthew ten forty one, such as

our end version.

Yes, we are looking at me like that, I understand.

The Bible said that if you receive a prophet as

one whose peaks for God, you will be giving the

same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous

people because of their righteousness, you will be giving a

reward like years. And it is very important that we

receive him as a prophet and as a man of God.

So when he pronounced the blessings of God, it will

have you first on our lives. Please you understand what

I'm saying. That he said that I've been praying and

nothing is happening. You have to understand that. But the

Bible said that by the hand of a prophet, by

the hand of a prophet, the one God has anointed,

the one God has ordained, by the hand of a prophet,

and own nations were preserved, and by the hand of.

That same prop prophet they prospect.

So he tells you that if you recognize him as such,

that he is coming from God, God will use him

to cause stability in your life. God will use him

to cause prosperity to happen in your life.

You understand what I'm saying.

So it is very important not just to him, but

to as a church to recognize such a gift in him,

that we know that even when we are in difficulties

and he just says a way that it is done,

we know that it will be done because God has

anointed him for us. And we have to support them financially.

As you are sitting here, you have said in your

heart and no person will drop your money and where can.

Find their money.

But the Bible acknowledges us to support their financially and

in the life and the ministry of Jesus. He was

mouthlessly blessed by a supported by both men and women

for the work to be advanced. You understand what I'm saying,

and you cannot say that I don't have enough money.

You have to make sure that the little that you

have you can recognize that and support pray for you.

And he has never ever added that you have money,

bring money before I pray for you. No.

God has blessed our pastor in his own way.

But if you are not careful as a church, you

will be robbed off the blessings and the grace of

God because you might think that it is not important

and it's not necessary that he should give something to him,

even if it's a per This you saw it into

his life, and he said, God bless you, and God

will bless you because you've handed the grace upon his life.

Amen. And we know that we cannot take care of him.

We know it.

Where we have to support him financial. Amen.

One most important thing you should avoid gossip. Don't sit

on the seat.

Of the scornful MHM and worcus about your pastor. No, no, no,

no no no.

With hope, we have to fight others who do we say,

they cannot use you to discredit or to discander him,

because you understand what I'm saying. Tell your neighbor to

avoid gossip and tell you your neighbor that encourage them

for their work is hard. Do you understand what I'm saying.

And tell one person that stand with them. Amen, and

tell one other person that you have to serve in

the church. That is one way you can aner your

pastor by saving in the church. That is one way

you can anner your pastor by serving in the church.

And it is very, very important that we do so, Harry,

that the Bible says that we should honner them.

That us the last one I'm giving you hold them

in high regard. And from today I want us to.

Especially whom a bishop in hier regard, we should hold

him in hier regard.

No matter what people take. It does not concern us.

But because we know what God has fingers. I remember

some years ago when I was about to get married.

Oh one time where I live on We're going to

do visitation and outreach.

I didn't see it. Basically, you just said you saw it.

He said that he show that this is not the usual.

It's like his powers has gone down. It's like the

way he's active going, I'm not seeing the better for me.

I was active, but and he called me said how

I did so far? And I gave him the break

that he said that because of the Lucus, the lucusy

is slow. Your powers has gone down, and Bishop is

it it's amazing. Sometimes you feel that, oh and why.

Is this personal? Not doing this for you?

And Bishop soed me financially with my wedding and on

the wedding day, that's the that's the serious one. On

the wedding day, Bishop was not well. She was hospitalized.

And after I was even saying that.

He cannot mean like we should either postpone it or

find somebody else. I'm sure that we'll do it.

So when he was that day, I was happy, just

hadn't say I like it was my day. But Bishop

blood was dripping because it was not time for him

to be discribed, and he discharged himself that I have

to be there. And whilst he was there, he couldn't

stand because this is the exactly we don't understand. So

when someone is going crazy for some you don't understrand

and Blood was dripping, and he was still standing there

telling us you may kiss the briden all that he

was in pain.

I was enjoying. Yeah.

So when when when when the Bible said that for

the work is hapt and you should support them and

encourage them. You don't know the sacrifices, how they inconvenience

themselves to make sure that we are in the good place,

in the right place. That's why the Bible said that

they are in a place to receive dopo. So you

can under everybody, but when it comes to your spiritual father,

you honner him. Do you imagine the time that you

call your pastor if you show you that you will

not answer, but you if if he's not able to answer,

you said that you are changing church. Imagine stand to

your philoms is something the essence of anuiness publica.

Lift up your tunes. One of our dispis.

The Lord must give us grace, clarity and understand the

way we can't do this. Lift up your tunes. Yes,

thank God, our liver goals lay corbardo server diators.

Oh to be.

Able to love them, to support them, to encourage them,

to pare with them.

To stand with them them that teach and preach the gospel,

pray for us, and stand in for us. Mm hm Father,

in the mighty name of Jesus, we thank you for

your word.

Help us to become a church honest, a church that

goes all out to protect the servants who have given

us because we know that it is not easy. Help

us to become a church with a difference. In Jesus' name,

and we shout, beginning the better
