The Dimensions of Honour - Rev Ron Chiarelli 26th May 2024

So this morning, I'm here to invite everybody, anybody who wants to share

his or her testimoney with us. If you have a testimony this morning,

please walk up to me. Testimony. God has been good to us.

Oh, I appreciate our sister. Anybody else will testimony? Amen, hell

with me. So I want to thank God for his son Jesus. This

week, I've seen a difference importance of the name Jesus Christ. We see

it's like if you are troubled or something, just mentioning jesays his name.

But then this week, I think on Monday, something was happening to me.

I don't know what it was. But then I was just lying there

and then I felt something was holding me. So I was trying to mention

she says his name. I couldn't open my mouth. So I kept on

saying this in my head and I I was like, it left me.

So the moment I stopped saying she says his name, it was coming back.

And then I woke up, and then I slept again. When I

slept and I woke up again, it happened again. And the moment I

mentioned this time, is it the first time? I was shocked? Because

it had never happened before, so I didn't know what it was. So

the next time it happened, I was able to mention his name first,

and then it left me instant me. So I just want to down good

because if Jesus hadn't come to die some time saying something's happen, you don't

know what's Jesus is the name that when something happens, so you can't just

mention his name and then you are fine. So if he didn't come to

that wouldn't have that. So I want to down gold for the name Jesus

and his son. Amen. I also want to thank God for life.

This week, I've had stories. I've seen pictures of people who left home,

told their family members at home, I'm going to wake and I'll be

back. They left, and then they were involved in car accidents and a

whole Lord. So I'm grateful to God for life. And there are certain

things we take for granted. But I've come to understand over the years that

even the little air I get to breathe every day, it's a privilege,

and I'm grateful to God for that. Amen. Can we stress forth our

hand towards our sister we are praying, and we are thanking God for her

testimony this morning. We are thanking God for deliverance. We are thanking God

for revealing himself to her, and we are secure and testimony in the plood.

Turn our Father, once again, we thank you for the testimony that

has come before. We thank you for all you've done for her, all

you are doing for him, what you do for her. We thank you

that whenever the enemy meant for evil, you have tended for her good.

Thank you for also revealing yourself to her. Thank you, Lord for showing

her another part of your love. We pray and secure her testimony in the

blood of Jesus. We act that no mutilations from the camp of the enemy

will prevail in the name of Jesus, that she's secured from any harm.

In the name of Jesus, we pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Can we

put our hands together for Jesus this morning? Hallelujah, Amen, Hallelujah.

Amen. What a blessing it is, What a powerful testimony. Amen.

Wow, that was an attack on her in her sleep, through her dreams.

Hallelujah. But the name Jesus, the revelation about the name of Jesus

ten things around. Amen, hallelujah. What a blessing. Are you happy

to be in church? Oh? Yeah? Your your energy level? Is

it the weathermen? What a blessing. Look at your neighbor and tell your

neighbor, I'm happy to be sitting by you this morning. Yeah, looking

good and nice telling about it. Didn't just happen by a chance, but

it's by the message of God that you are still here and alive and still

breathing. Hallelujah, a man, what a blessing. What a blessing.

So throughout the whole of this month, we've been treating on honoring a man.

I'm not you know that we've been treated on honoring all right, it's

a great blessing. So we'll be concluding on that subject matter for this first

service and trust God for the next service. What the Lord will do a

man. It's a great blessing. So I hope you are all prepared.

I hope you've not forgotten all that we've been taught throughout this wholement that it

will not just be for the month, but it is something that will live

it through our out our lives. Amen. Is that a promise you're making

to yourself, Or is that a promise you're making to yourself that you will

not just hear the message for this month and then that is it, But

it is something that you are going to live it in your school, at

home, your workplace, the church, wherever you find yourself, wherever honor

is due. Sometimes your class, in your class, their class rep is

representing somebody, so he must honor. He wants to disrespect the person you

are disrespecting the person who made that person a rep. So everywhere honor is

required. Hallelujah amen, amen? Oh are we together? Are we here?

Then? Give Jason some praise and shout. Let's say hallelujah amen?

Or ride Are you ready for the word of the Lord today? Oh?

Are you sure? Okay? How prepared are you? Do you have a

notebook or gadgets that you're using? Okay? Those of you who are using

your notebook? And I see your note using notebook? Can you wave your

notebooks all right? Those are you using your phones or your gadgets? Can

you wave your gadgets all right? What a blessing? Can you wave your

bibles? Those of you who brought your bibles? Halleluj Your mind is there?

A man. I use both just in case electronics and Phil's hallelujah,

A man, it's like great blessing. It's a great blessing. Wow,

what a blessing. Anyways, the Lord has prepared as servants to bring us

his word, and this morning to give him honor is due on behalf of

our father, the art Bishop. We welcome you to service one more time.

And then the Seventh of the Lord has been prepared to bring us his

word today. And it's my emprayer that you open up your heart to receive

the Word. Now bring transformation, and you will the world of mind this

morning. And I believe that when you live here, let somebody see you

and say something that's changed about you. Hallelujah. Is that what is going

to happen to us? And now you blame the Holy s Way to do

that to you. Then, with Jesus joy, let's rise and welcome the

seven of God who has been prepared for us this morning. Heaven Lord,

hallelujah. Oh, I said, hallelujah. Are you excited to be in

the presence of God this morning? Amen? That's great, Heavenly Father,

We give you thanks this morning for another blessing. And another opportunity to be

gathered in your presence, to receive from you that our lives may be changed,

and that we can become all that you have purposed for us to be

according to your word. The entrance of your word brings light, and it

brings understanding. So, Oh Lord, we have come to receive light.

We have come to receive understanding. Lord, let it be onto us that

will leave more enlightened. Jesus Smighty Name, we give thanks. Somebody say

Amen, before we are seated. Can we think as forgather just as in

the spirit of God, to take control as we gother ma spirit work with

speak God going away lest because we can. Can you say passings, can

staff sits? Just expecs spit still, It's simple, hallelujah. Before you

are seated, just say hello to someone standing by you again and sit take

your seat at the presence of the Lord. Amen. It's good to see

you in church this rainy Sunday morning. Amen. It is a proper Christians

who I've come to church. So we say congratulations, your friend. You

are a proper Christian. Amen. They're improper Christians. They are still sleeping

because they think it will read again so they won't come to church. And

it's good to see you in church. Hallelujah. Amen, avenue if you

are excited to receive from the Lord this morning. Amen. And so we've

been treating honor in the past month. Amen. And I believe you've learnt

a lot and that your life is changing. You're becoming a better version of

yourself. Amen. If you are not changing, there, it means there's

something wrong with you, because it is only a fool who says that I

won't change. I can hear some people preaching. I'll give them the microphone

right now. Amen. But as you receive from the Lord, your life

should always change. You should be a better version of yourself because following Jesus

is a path to perfection. Do you understand the end result of your life

is that you'll be perfect in the eyes of God. Amen. And how

you become perfect is to keep changing precept upon precept. Little by little.

You keep changing, Amen, because God is mourning you to become what he

wants you to be. Can I hear an Amen? And so this morning,

by the grace of God, I want to share with you, in

addition to all that has been shared with you on the title the dimensions of

honor, the dimensions of honor. Amen. Very often when we talk about

honor, we just categorize it into one thing, and we usually categorize it

into the lesser one honoring the greater one, you get it, or the

younger one honoring the older one, or the poorer one honoring the richer one.

Do you understand? But today, by the grace of God, we

are going to learn other dimensions to honor so that our whole approach to honor

will be as Amen, so that it will not just be a one way

approach to honor. Amen. So what is the meaning of honor? The

dictionary meaning of honor simply needs to demonstrate high respect and great esteem for someone.

To demonstrate high respect and great esteem for someone, Amen. How many

of you are afraid of snakes? Some hands are. Now you're not afraid

of snakes. You have pets who are snakes. Amen. Do you know

why you are afraid of snakes because you are afraid that you can harm you,

So because of that you give them proper respect. Do you understand if

you are going home and you see a snake pass in front of you,

you use that room for one month because you have proper respect that the snake

can harm you. Amen. So in some sense, you honor a snake

because you have high esteem that the snake has the ability to end your life,

to unlive you. I hope you understand. So in that respect,

honor means to show great respect and to value someone highly. And so by

honoring someone, you are saying that you see great value in them. And

then by honoring someone, you say that I see great value in this person.

And so like we did on our father's birthday, we honored him telling

him that we see great value in you. You are very valuable to us,

and we esteem you highly. Ill we understand. So remember this that

honor requires you to value someone, to respect someone, and to esteem the

person highly. Amen. There are types of honor that many people overlook.

Sometimes when we say honor, we just look at one type of honor.

But there are three types of honor. There is bad honor, there is

good honor, and there is internal honor. Amen, bad honor, good

honor, and turn our honor. So what is bad honor? And because

we don't differentiate between the types of honor, we confuse all the honor to

be one. Amen. But the entrance of God's word brings light. So

God is bringing light and understanding to you, so that you know when to

apply the right owner. Amen. So bad honor is when a person is

respected for the wrong reasons. When a person is respected for the wrong reasons.

If Satawali comes to change today in the main uditorium, people will be

looking at him and we ad marrying him, they will respect him for the

wrong reasons. Janda said, So bad honor is when you respect someone for

the wrong reasons. You get it. Yes. In addition to that,

everybody has a se of difference between honor. All right, So you're seeing

government ministers of states and members of parliament are called honorable. We honor them

because of their position. But I guess what. Some people honor them only

because they can give them fifty cities every time they see them. So that

is a wrong reason to honor. So that is bad honor. The day

that honorable decides that I don't have money again, but money is finished,

you'll become this honorable, nobody will honor him again. Amen. And so

bad honor is very important to note, and it's biblical. Amen. And

so people acknowledge the status of officials, the acknowledge that starts off wear by

honoring them. And like Reverend Chau says, in the Nigerian culture is when

somebody's talling, somebody will lie down prostrates. Sometimes they honor people for the

wrong reasons because of what they can get from the person. I tell you

what. The moment the person turns around, they will saw the president in

your big you are Johnderson. So the owner is for the wrong reason.

So I want to give you a few examples of biblical examples of bad honor.

And the first person we're going to use is King Nebukat Naser. He

forced everyone to worship him. He forced everyone to honor him. He forced

everyone to bow down and show obaisance to him, and so it became a

form of idolatry and a false worship that was ascribed to him. Okay,

So in Daniel, when you go and read Daniel chapter four, it's in

there. So bad honor is a DeFi character of Barbylon in the Bible.

All right, So bad honor is a defining character of Barbylon in the Bible.

So any situation you find yourself where someone is forcing you to honor them.

Watch, your output to them is bad. Honor, respect is and

respect is not demanded. J understand. So honor is earned and not demanded.

So, as a child of God, don't be forced into offering something

that is not ideal for you in your heart. Can I hear an Amen?

Amen? In second watchapter two, the's thirty. Let's sake, second

watch of the two they're thirty. There was a high priest called Eli.

And Eli had two sons. How many of you know the sons? I

see one hand there, yes, the rest of you you didn't go to

Sunday school? I see two hands. Yeah. Please don't ask anybody,

don't google to don't ask alex Lese. Amen. Eli had two sons.

Amen, are we a scripture coming? Or the Bible is of How many

of you have your Bibles in church? A man, you should bring your

Bible to church so that the day they did that Bible goes off. Then

we still have a Bible to read. Amen. And so Eli and his

sons they honored themselves by keeping the preferred sacrifices, but at the expense of

despising God. Amen. In the Jewish culture, as far as pre students

concerned, when you are coming to the house of God, they are supposed

to bring a sacrifice, and they bring will, They will bring Karls and

will bring good Eli and his sons. They took them the portion that you

can use for boat, light suit and beef your off. That's just what

they like. And by doing that they despise God. Amen. So they

owned themselves that it despise God. So as a child of God, these

are examples for you don't honor yourself too much that you despise God. By

the amen and look. Chapter fourteen, verse seven to eight. Jesus told

the Pharisees not to seek places of high honor at a feast, lest you'll

be humiliated. So Jesus was telling them, when you go to a party,

I mean when I go to a party, I don't like sitting in

front. I don't like sitting at the high table. I will wait at

the back until the thing has gone and nobody else is coming. Then I

win sit. Because he said, this is wisdom that when you go and

you go and sit at the high table, if there is someone who is

more honorable than you, someone who is more esteemed than you, someone who

is more respected than you, when they come their protocopy book come and say,

oh please, please get up so that the man can sit down.

Amen, and in on the chats in front are taken. Then Immans,

you have to go to the back, and if you are a proud person,

you say me, I'm going home. Yes, you'll be offended and

you leave. Amen. So Jesus said that when you go to a party,

don't seek to go to set on the high table, because when someone

more honorable comes, it would take your seat. Amen. You know why

I like standing at the back so much so that the seat can be empty

for when someone more honorable comes. Do you know why it's so easy for

me to get up from the seats so that when someone more honorable comes,

he can sit down. Amen? So this is wisdom for you. Don't

seek to sit on the high team. But when they invite you to flash

the house for dinner, don't sit on the chair that president a good will

sit on, because when he comes, they will remove you and put him

there. Can I hear an Amen? In your house, your daddy has

a chair he sits on. In some homes daddy has a particular Don't sit

on daddy's check during dinner. When Daddy comes, you will get up.

Amen. Don't go sit on my mischair. Look for your own chair.

Someone coller and sit down, because that will be more honorable for you.

Can I hear an Amen? Amen? And so Paul in Philippians chapter three

mess nineteen, please give Philippians three nineteen, he said of his opponents,

they are glory is they are shame. So when you glory yourself, it

can become shame to you. Amen. So whose end is distraction? Whose

God is their belly? And whose glory is their shame? Who sets their

minds or deadly things? Jonathan, So when you glory yourself, when you

honor yourself too much, when you overhype yourself, it can bring you to

a place of shame. Amen. This is just a background. So that's

what bad honor. Now take the examples for good honor. So Bible speaks

positively about being an honorable person in the eyes of other people. As a

child of God, who is brought by the precious blood of Jesus, who

is recreated in the image and in the likeness of God, you are supposed

to walk and be like Jesus. Jesus was honorable. There is no mention

in history or throughout the Bible where they said Jesus went to do color bully,

or where Jesus told somebody speak, or where Jesus loves somebody. You

understand Jesus was honorable. So as a child of God, it should be

said of you that you are honorable. Though you are not an empy,

you should be called honorable. Do you understand your nature and your virtue should

exsuit that of an honorable person. When we mention your name, it should

not be said, Hold, this guy is a folle night guy. You're

tricky right now? Do you understand they shouldn't say that. Oh, this

person is a liar. He can't speak the truth. This is an art

by this guy. He says snack. He's a comeleon. He's like this,

he's like that. He's like this. You show you like this or

you think you are Charlie. Now you change like this, You're like Charlie?

Are you either? Say person? Do you understand be honorable as a

child to go be straight? The Bible says that be straight. When you

are known to be black, be black. Amen. When you are white,

be white. Don't be calice callis. Do you understand, be straight,

be honorable, because that is what God requires of us. Can I

an amen? Amen? So take first we touch up that to Vers twelve,

if we can have that on the screen quickly, First Bitter to Vers

twelve, firstwitter to West twelve, which talks about conduct and says, are

having your conduct honorable give us more youicle than you live? In translation modern

English, yes, So be careful to live properly among unbelieving neighbors. Be

careful to live properly, which also means that may let your conduct be honorable

in the midst of unbelievers. Because if you are to lead people who don't

know Jesus to Jesus and you yourself, you are not honorable. What example

are they looking at to tend to your God? Do you understand? Then,

even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable

behavior. Amen. Do you know there are people called false accusers accusers of

the Brethren. As you are growing, you meet them. Do you understand?

Yes, As you start working you will meet them. As you start

marrying, you will meet them. They are called accusers of the Brethren.

And how you overcome accusers of the Brethren is by living an honorable life,

so that after they have accused you and accused you and taking you into courts,

when they get to courts, only one witness will come and say that,

ah, this person is an honorable person, and the kids we made

foolish case. I hear me, be honorable so that your accusers will not

have pre eminence over you, Amen, and they will give all not to

God when he judges the whole will because of your honorable nature, they will

give honor to God. Amen. Me. I have been accused of so

many things I can't even mention. I have been reported, I've been accused

to have finally actual shop many times, and you'll call me and you'll bless

me, and I say, oh, sorry Meali, I don't know what's

very on. And then I'll go and then we occup guides, and then

eventually they'll find out actually they think they're saying is not true. Amen.

So be honorable so your works will speak for you. Please preach your neighbor.

Tell them be honorable, so your works will preach for you. Amen.

And so Park took the pains to be honorable not only in the eyes

of God, but also in the eyes of men. Do you understand not

only in the eyes of God, but in the eyes of men. So

take the second Garridians, Chapter eight, verse twenty one US reference. He

maintained an honorable output, an honorable attitude. You get it not only in

the eyes of God, but in the eyes of men. So don't be

a pretender who only pretends when you come to church. But when you are

outside of church, there is nothing honorable going for you. Amen. Don't

be a pretender, be straight, be one in the eyes of God and

in the eyes of men, that I hear an amen. Amen. So,

the Book of Proverbs, which is the book of Wisdom, contains many

verses about ending a good name or honor for yourself. All right, for

a wise living, good honor is part of God's common grace for people who

live wisely and respect others. So take these scriptures down for reference. Proverbs

after twelve US eight, give me problems twelve vers eight, and then you

can take the rest right Proverbs chapter thirteen vers eighteen, Proverbs Chapter fifteen,

verse thirty three, Proverbs Chapter twenty one, verse twenty one, Proverbs Chapter

twenty two verse four, Proverbs Chapter twenty seven vers. Eighteen, And so

Proverbs chapter eight, twelve, vers. Eight says that a sensible person wins

admiration. So give me the new King James version for this one. There's

a particular way I'm looking for. A man will be commended according to his

wisdom, but he who is perfessed, who is of a perversed heart,

will be despised. Do you understand this wisdom? For you? When you

walk according to wisdom, you will be commended, you will be honored.

But if your heart is perversed, you will be despised. Can I hear

an amen? Amen? And the final point for good honor, being an

honorable and respectable person in a community is a key qualification in the local church.

So give me Firstimothy chapter three, verse seven to eight. First Timothy,

Chapter three, ver. Seven to eight. You can't just get up

and say that I want to be a leader of a change. I want

to be a leader in a change. And then there should be a track

record of you having a good testimony among those who are outside. There should

be a good testimony about you. When we come to your whole, your

neighborhood, and we ask, oh, who is Tiffinity, they should say

that, oh, that tifinitely bit a widow. No no, no,

they should say those bad things bad name definitely the troublesome girl in the fighting

with everybody. No no, no no. You should have a good testimony

among those who are ours, un lest he fall into approach and the snare

of the devil. So there should be good testimony about you as a child

of God and end. And so it turn our honor. It turned our

honor. That is what every child of God should seek. How many of

you know that Jesus is coming again, and it's coming for the children of

God, the sons and daughters of the mossycho And based on our good works.

The Bible says that God is not unrighteous to forget our labor of love

and of our good works. Right, our good works will attract it turn

our honor for us. When Jesus comes, it takes us to heaven.

We will go and come back and reign on the earth for one thousand years.

And during that one thousand years, those who have been faithful to the

Lord and to his course will be honored greatly. Some will be governess over

one city, some will be governess over ten cities, some will be governess

over twenty cities. Some will be governess o our continents that will show the

level of honor that God will be stolen on you. Amen. So seek

eternal honor, Amen above earthly honor. Proverabs Chapter twenty one, Best twenty

one. Proverabs twenty one Best twenty one. He who follows righteousness and mercy

finds what life, righteousness, and what honor. He who follows righteousness and

mess see finds life, righteousness, and honor. In MATTERW Chapter six,

verse thirty three, the Bible says that but seek year first, the kingdom

of God and his righteousness. If you seek righteousness, the righteousness of God,

and you seek the messes of God, you will find life. You

will find life, You will find righteousness, and you will find honor.

Amen. And so it doesn't matter where you were born. You could have

been born in so to own the backside of zoom. Amen. You could

have been living in a single bedroom on the floor. You could have gone

to site to all your life. You could have not even gone to university.

You know, it doesn't matter who you are. If you seek the

kingdom of God first and his righteousness, you will find life. Amen.

The Bible says that this is the testimony God has given to us. That

God has given us eternal life. And this life is in his son Jesus.

And he who has the Son has life, and he who does not

have the Son does not have life. So when you seek God and you

find him, you will find that you have life. Amen. And the

life of God has the ability to transform your life. Amen, that it

will change you. You are probably born in a place of great Dishonor do

you know why Jesus became poor? When they said that Andrew Given said,

I've met the Lord his brand said, can anything would come out of Nazareth?

So it's a place of Dishonor. When Jesus went back to Nazareth,

he says, a prophet is without honor here. They don't honor anybody there.

Amen. So even the great miracles Jesus did, he couldn't do much

there because they don't There is nothing honorable. Day. But guess what,

Jesus became poor so that you can be honorable. Amen, So that you

can be honorable. Amen. So that you can be honorable, So that

you can be honorable, so that you knew you you can be honorable,

that when you walk into a room. You don't know anybody there, but

for the simple reason that you are honorable in the sight of God, people

are called your respect. Amen. A friend of mine was getting married at

p I Do b C. I used to go to p Ido bus when

I was younger. It was the person I was living with used to go

there and on the on the this thing, the program line up. He

wanted me to give a scripture, so they mentioned my na. I was

in reverend and I was pastor then, so they mentioned my name. And

when I got up and I was going, I remember I was wearing the

same thing. When I was going on the person, they stood up and

everyoney stood up, and I was like, oh wow. I was so

happy, and I was like, hey, God, is this how you

can honor man? Amen? And when I took the microphone and I was

reading the script they were on listening. And when I finished and I said

say amen, they all shouted a man, when you see gold, you

will find life, you will find righteousness, and you will find honor.

Amen. So if you want to be honored in this life, the only

prescribed pattern is to seek God. Amen, Because when you seek him find

all that and he speak, oh can you clap your hands for Jesus.

Amen. And so now let me give you douars all introduction. Let me

give you the main means of my message this morning. Amen. The dimensions

of honor. Amen, the dimensions of honor. Pleasus, put that on

for me. So is he the cross. The cross represents the altar for

the greatest sacrifice ever made in humanity, because on the Cross of Calvary,

that Roman cross, the son of God, who is God, shared his

precious blood on that cross. Amen, and his blood speaks, and he

speaks better things. And ever since Jesus shared this blood over twenty twenty four

years ago, the blood of Jesus still speaks. So the cross is the

greatest sacrifice. And that is why when even you are dreaming and you are

being attacked and you call the name of Jesus, the name of Jesus has

the power to save, because the Bible says that the name of the Lord

is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and are safe. Amen.

And so the cross, if you look at the cross, it has

the longer beam and then the beam across. So there's the vertical being and

then there's a horizontal being. Amen. And when you look at honor from

this dimension, you appreciate honor for what it is. Amen. And so

the vertical dimension of honor, which it goes up and it comes down,

So honor is not just a one way streets. No, honor goes up

and comes down. And so the upward honor is first honor for God,

honor for God. Some people we spoke about the definition of honor to demonstrate

high respect and esteem breaking someone. Some people don't respect God, they don't

value God. So when they come to church they have this la adassical attitude

that they come to church with. It is a lack of respect for the

things of God. Amen. Oh I said, Amen. I know some

of you don't eat before you come to church, especially the first service people.

But it is no reason to dispond not God. Amen. Do you

know Jesus fast as forty days and forty nights, so you not eating two

hours and you want to die? Amen, So show proper respect to God

first. In morete one seventeen, take the scriptures down some twenty two,

so give me some twenty two west twenty three, some twenty two West twenty

three. We honor God when we come into the present when you hear of

God, you should tremble because God is highly esteem Amen. And the marble

says that you will fear the Lord praise him. So you see, even

before we come and we're start saying it, I'm gonna dance and praise,

and you don't thinking like I'm God and dance and praise like somebody's forcing you.

He says, fear those who fear God mass word, praise him.

All your designants of Jacob, glorify him and fear him or offspring of Israel.

So come to God with fear and trembling, with a high level of

respect, because God can end your life today. If he says that your

breath is and you I'm taking it now, you are gone. You are

a ghost. Do you understand? Yes, So he is the one who

has the ability to end you and all your descendants in just one second.

Have proper respect for him. Amen. Please go back to the slide,

and then let's look at Festival chapter one, verse seventeen quickly, so I'll

try and rush through all of this in the next five minutes. Festimothy chapter

one, verse seventeen, and he says that now onto the King, eternal,

immortal, These are the credentials of God. Now onto the King eternal.

God is eternal, He is immortal. God is on killable, on

diable. You can't dethrone God. Amen, invisible the only wise God.

So if the Bible says that God is the only wise God, enemies,

all other gods are words, You're not paying attention. I'm saying that if

the family saying that God is the only wise God, then he means that

all other gods are words. They are very foolish. Amen. He says

that be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. So you come to

God and show him what proper honor and proper respect. Amen. You cannot

come to church, the place where God is be smoothing some boy in the

corner. Do you understand you cannot be in the presence of the Lord and

be texting some girls some wild things. Do you understand you can't be in

church and be thinking of some scene you were watching last night? Why you

are in change because you think God can't see your head. God sees through

your brain. He knows what is going on in your head. It is

a sign of great dishonor to God. Amen. You can't be in church

where the word of God, which is valuable, that has the ability to

change your life, is being preached to you, and you are sleeping.

Please take a picture of this boy for me. Where's my phone? Amen?

You cannot be doing it where. It's a sign of word. It

is a sign of great dishonor to who to God. Amen. We know

that some of you you don't respect past this. I'll come to that.

But it is a sign of word, great dishonor to God, because I

mean, you are telling God that you don't value this world that word.

Your sleep is more importance to you. Do you understand? Please go back

to this life. So take your time and go through this. Go through

the scriptures, all right. The next vertical dimension of honor is honor for

parents ecce twenty west wealth quickly exceus twenty westwealth. Honor for parents exceduce twenty

vest wealth. There are some of you here. When your parents tell you,

hey, do this, do this, Then you do your mouth long

like trump or trot row. You do your mouth long when you open your

mouth to talk. The only thing that the first way that comes with bad

when you open your mind, no bads or bats, Mammy bad but because

your house, they don't slap you, so your hosea bats. It's a

sign of greats honor. The Bible says that honor your father and your mother,

then you will live long. It looks like many of you don't want

to live long. You want to be buried before you are twenty years.

Hey, you don't want to live beyond seven years. This is the word

of the Lord that you will live long, full of life in the land

the Lord, your God is giving you. Amen. So if you choose

not to, you don't want to live long. This continued dishonnoring your parents,

because there's the outcome is pretty timid. Amen. And do you know

why you need to take this seriously? Because this is a direct command from

God. This is a direct command from God. And because God is a

sovereign king, every word he speaks is law. And when you go against

the law, you trespass the law. And when you trespass the law,

there are consequences for trespassing God's command. Amen. So one other upward dimension

of honor is honoring for parents. Amen. Now, parents might not necessarily

be a biological parents, because there are many who are not fortunately to live

with biological parents. You may be living with some auntie, You may be

living with some uncle, some cousin, sister, brother. Honor them,

stepfather, stepmother. Honor them. Do you understand even when they are more

treating you, tell God that, yes, Lord, I'm suffering all this,

but I want to honor them. Do you understand me? I've lived

with multiple people. If I tell you my story, you ope your with

your mouth or drop. I've lived with made me many people. Because my

parents were just all over the place. You just dropped me. We will

we've just been there going on. They will enter this us and they will

just drop me. I know, I have a bag in the gutu who

just dropped me? And you're gone like two years later and then you show

up. But you need to learn honor. You get it. And many

of them more treated me. They mo treated me. And now when they

see they can't look at me. They can't look at me in the face.

Do you understand When they see me coming, they want the head to

open so they disappear. If there's another chance, they will just pass the

other way. I met one of them at the airport. He was coming

to Colley. Something he saw he was standing far away. He couldn't come

close. So I went and took the thing to him. They said hello,

Hell, and they way, when you honor people, God will honor

you. Do you understand? Yes, when you honor people God, when

you honor your parents, God will honor you. And guess what, any

and everything you are doing is a seed. So if you decide that you

dishonor your parents, guess what you also have children? Oh? Yes,

and you see the thing with the seed is that you plant just one seed,

but it comes out with many fruits. So your level of this honor

will be multiple exponential. Yes, there would this honor your left right center

you. Now you'll be perplexed every flabergaste because the honor that this honor would

be great. Amen. So honor your parents so that God will honor you.

Amen. Number three upward. Dimension of honor is honor for those in

authority. Honor those in authority. Honor those that have been set in authority

over you. Amen. When you go to school and you go and meet

some small boys, some ugly man, he's your mathematics teacher. If you

like, say I don't like your own respect, you fail. It doesn't

matter who has been set over you. Honor your responsibilities to show honor and

respect. Amen. By or pain and honoring, God will bless you and

God will honor you too. Amen. So honor those in authority. It

doesn't matter that your father supports a different political party when your parents are insulting

their people, knowing is, don't join them to insult them. Are you

hearing me, Oh, don't join them to insult them. Honor them.

The Bible says that pray for those in authority, because if you don't want

to the mar can you pray for them? You cannot. Amen. And

the fourth one, which is the final one of the vertical upward dimension of

honor, is honor for the elderly. Leveticos, chapter nineteen, verse thirty

two. Let's look at this quickly. Leveticos, chapter ninety, verse thirty

two. Honor the elderly, Honor the elderly. What does the Bible says?

The Bible says that thou shall and says that you shall rise before the

gray headed honor in the presence of the old man. Amen. Do you

know why when the archbishop walks in here, we all stand up. It's

a sign of honor. Amen. So when you are seated and your pastors

walking, what do you do? You stand up? It shows what honor?

Amen? What is honor? To show respect, great respect, and

highly esteem someone. You get it? Yes, So when your past is

walking, you rise up. Just two seconds of rising up will not kill

you to show what honor? So you shall rise before they're gray headed,

and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God, I

am the Lord. This is another command. This is another command. When

we're growing up, they tell you that when you see an old person,

you greet. So those days when I close from school and I'm going,

if I meet thousand old people, our great greets are good good after you

said good afternoon, you greet and don't say, oh, good aftern How

are you someone who'll stop and will have a chat with you? Do you

know why nobody's chatting with you because you don't greet. Yes, you don't

greed. You don't know how to greet when you're coming. You just walk

like your walking self is not nice. You don't greet. Show honor.

When you meet see an elderly person, say hello, good morning. Do

you understand say good morning, good afternoon? Be conscious of it. Know

there's seasons and time. No, when is morning? Some of you don't

like watch because you don't know that time. No when to say good morning,

no when to say good afternoon. Greets say hello. Amen, it

is a sign of what honor. Don't be a moon. Do you know

who a move is? A person who doesn't talk. You are not a

so greed when you see someone, you see a human being standing there,

then you walk, You do your neck like that, you walk. Sure.

Meanwhile, there's a human being standing there who is more honorable than you.

But you're not greed. Amen. So from today, tell your neighbor

we are changing. We are not going to be moo anymore. Amen.

I see some people are not saying it's you know what is a sign of

pride? Tell your neighbor for free. We are changing. We are not

going to be mooo anymore. Amen. So let's look at one more scripture

for honor for the elderly, which is the dimension of honor for church leaders

church leaders, First Timothy, chapter five, verse seventeen. First Timothy,

chapter five, verse seventeen. Festimo they five seventeen. Quickly before we do

something very important, and I bring my message to a clause. Amen,

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of what double honor. Let

the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who

labor in the word and in doctrine. Amen. When there is someone who

labors in the world of God to teach you God's word, so you understand

what the Bible is saying. Poor to Timothy and said to him, let

that person be worthy of what double honor? So the type of honor you

think you know? He says double it? Can I earn? Amen?

So it's not about I like this person, I don't like four. As

long as they are imparting knowledge to you, it is your responsibility, as

a child of God to give to them honor. Can I hear an Amen?

Amen? So that is the upward dimension of honor. All right,

let me give you quickly the downward dimension of honor, and then I'll leave

the rest to you to go and study, or maybe on Tuesday night to

look at that. Amen. So downward dimension of honor first, and watch

of the two verse thirty God honest those who honor him. God, what

honest those who honor Him first? And much of the two vers thirty.

Therefore, the Lord God of Israel says, I am indeed that your house

and the house of your father would walk before me forever. But now the

Lord says, far be from me. Those of you who think that God

cannot change his mind. You you are mistaken. Listen. God is sovereign.

He can't change his mind today. Because when the children of Israel wanted

a king, they choose, He gave them soul. He says that it

is me they have rejected. Amen. And he made a promise to Soul

that I will establish you and your father's house forever. But guess what,

Saul did not honor God, and so God decided, I've changed my mind.

I am God. No one can't do anything about it me. I've

changed my mind. And see, if God had not changed my David would

have knows to the chance. So if God has to change his mind so

that some of us can get opportunity, Amen, Because someone who dishonor God,

you honor God and you have opportunity. How many of you have head

of firsty and Esther, Esther, who vastly dishonored and He created room for

Esther. Amen. So when you're praying bread. A Lord, let those

who like dishonnorer, let them dishonor so that I can enter, Amen,

so that I can honor you. So you see that. But now the

Lord says, family for me, For those who honor me, I will

honor all those who are talking. Estan on your feet, all those thisays

the word, All those who honor me, I will honor. We are

in church. If you say that, I means you're lying. So stand.

If you know you're talking, stand, All those who do what who

honor me, I will honor. So when you honor God, God honor

you. Amen. When you honor God and you're go and pray for somebody

who is sick, God honor you through your prayer. Amen. They will

not see you as a fake Christian because God will perform his way through you,

and what honor is way through you. Amen. Can we clap for

the two ladies. Amen. We are preaching together, So standing, Amen,

let me do on more Scripture Proverbs step to twenty two vers four.

Proverbs stop to twenty two vers four. It says that by humility and the

fear of the Lord are riches, honor and life. By humility, it

is only people who are humble who can honor Amen, because proud people don't

honor nobody. Proud people they don't have respect for no Nato. Amen.

It is only with humility that you can honor. It is only with humility

that yes, you are doing Cambridge I I G. Yes, whatever,

whatever, whatever, and your mother went to sign for Amen. It is

only with humility that you can honor your mother. Your grandmother did not go

to school. It is only with humility that you can honor your grandmother.

Amen. It is only with humanity. There's a there's a pastor somewhere somewhere

over at the other side. He's English, where it's good at all.

Why where is preaching is when he's talking about her, saying she, When

he says she, he say he. But guess what, he's judgeous forum

because people honor him. Do you understand. When he's preaching and he makes

me say they know he had a mistake. That is a sign of great

honor, johnderstand. And if you're going to tell you your pater Grid doesn't

know, they'll beat you because they honor their pastor very much. Amen.

So, by humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honor,

and life. How many of you want to be rich in this life?

Amen? You want to be rich, You want to see plenty money.

The secret is to be humble. The secret is to honor. Amen.

And by honoring and fearing God, God will give you account money that your

grandparents have not seen before. Amen. You will sign a check that in

your whole blood line no body has signed that check before. You will be

the first person to sign one hundred thousand dollars check. Sure, Then you

pay one million dollars Jack. Then you pay Do you understand it is only

by honor, by humility, and by the fear of God. Amen.

And so I want to advise you that from today, choose to honor God.

Amen. Choose to honor those that God have set upon you. Choose

to honor your parents, Amen. Choose to honor the elderly. Choose to

honor your pastors, those that God has set where you are laboring to teach

God's word. Amen. And finally, the side one, the horizontal one,

is honor for one another. Honor one another. And I'll give you

just one scripture for that honoring others, honoring others. So honor others,

Amen, Honor others beyond yourself. Honor others more than you think on others.

Amen. Honor people. When you come to church and you sit down,

there's somebody's show honor to the person by saying hello. Amen. Don't

just sit down like there's a ghost visiting by you. But show honor to

others. And by doing this, I can promise you that a year from

now, if you practice this diligently, your life will not be the same.

Amen. You'll be a better version of yourself, and you'll be a

darling boy in your house. You'll be a darling girl in your house,

in your whole neighborhood. When people want wisdom, it is you they will

come to. Amen. Please rise and stand on your feet for more.

Amen. Thank you. So I just want to dwell quickly on honor for

parents. When you dison pay, when you dishonor your parents, it attracts

a case jigami because you contravene or you disobey a direct command from God.

So it brings a case on you. There are many people here who are

working with the kids hanging over their heads, but they don't know it because

they have dishonored their parents. If you are here, you have dishonored your

parents. That the thing has paid your parents. Some people can dishonor their

parents and their parents will cry. Do you get it? Yes? If

you know you have dishonored your parents, and you know that what you did

Come quickly. You have disobeyed they told you not to do something.

But you disobeyed. You disobeyed. You did it because you are wiser than

them. Yes, you are more knowledgeable than them. Come. It is

a sign of dishowner. Men, you disrespected. He says something you lit't

you were working. Just then leave me alone. It is a sign of

Amen. Do you all acknowledge that you have broken God's law by disobeying

his commandment? Do you all acknowledged that by disobeying God's commandment, it attracts

a punishment. Do you all acknowledge that by your own righteousness you can't meet

up to God's punishment? Amen? And so because of that, we are

going to plead for Messy through the blog. Jesus. So, with your
