What a blessing. All right, So this month we are running a series
-
for the whole of this month, and we are going to be talking about
-
honoring. Hallelujah, honoring, Amen, honoring, hallelujah. So the whole
-
of this man's honoring is a very big topic. So we are going to
-
be touching different areas as the Lord leads us. Hallelujah. Amen. I
-
am privileged to be standing before you to bring the word of the Lord to
-
all of you. Amen. It's a great privilege. Hallelujah. Amen.

At least I have one fancy man, about from my wife. I

know you are looking at me. You also want to say something, Amen,
-
thank you for appreciating me. Amen. Hallelujah. All right, So
-
this man we are looking at honoring, honoring. Amen. So today's topic,
-
we're going to be looking at honoring relationships. Hallelujah. Honoring relationships,
-
hallelujah. And we'll be looking at certain areas. We'll be going through that
-
relationship with God, the relationship with Jesus, the relationship with your parents,
-
the relationship with your pastors in your life. So we're going to look at
-
this as the Lord leads us. A man who're touching on it briefly,
-
is in everyone. So honoring relationship is not just a word or a force
-
been that has been bound to you, or a moral obligation a man that
-
you have to fulfill. But it's a spiritual commandment. It's a spiritual commandment
-
for you to honor a man. Hallelujah. Kind of let us go to
-
Johnt chapter five twenty three. John chapter five twenty three. Before we go
-
to John chapter five twenty three, let me just give you first timoity,
-
first timaty, second TIMOLTI sorry, twenty second timotive take us to second Timotic,
-
Please second Timoty. Today's second Timoty didn't come second Timothy to Vers twenty
-
Yes, what a blessing the Bible said. But in a great hoouse there
-
are not uni vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay,
-
some for honor and some for this honor. Hallelujah, verse twenty one.
-
Therefore, if anyone glances himself from the letter, he will be a
-
vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for their master. Prepare for every good
-
work, hallelujah. A man and a blessing, but a blessing, all
-
right. Now, let's go to John five twenty three. I believe that
-
we will become vessels of honor for the Master's hues. Wherever we find ourselves
-
in our schools, community will be more honorable. Hallelujah. So it means
-
if you're called honorable, it means you do honorable things. There are some
-
people who are called honorable, but the things they do are not honorable.
-
Hallelujah. So the title honorable, there's not just a word that has been
-
placed on you. So when you are honorable, you are called honorable.
-
About the honorables we have our EMPs, all right. So some are honorable,
-
they do honorable things, and some are called honorable, but the way
-
the things they do are not honorable. But I know that as God is
-
lifting all of us up from here, some of you will become EMPs,
-
that you will fight for your communities. But your honorability will be honorable.
-
You'll be good, honest, hallelujah. Then why do not just be upon
-
you by your your honor will speak for you a man. Yeah, that
-
also honor the son, just as the honor of the father. He who
-
does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him a man.
-
Can we ready together? John Chapter five is twenty three, Let's go
-
just as they honor the father. He who does not honor the sound,
-
that's not honor the father who's sent him a man. A ride, what
-
a blessing. So those are the preambles to our messages this morning. And
-
trust God that by the time we end, the Lord of Grant's understanding a
-
meg. So just follow me closely. I'm taking you on the journey,
-
hallelujah, and I believe that we will land in a safe place. So
-
put on your seatbelts. As you travel together a man, hallelujah, or
-
a blessing. So I'm just going to talk to you about some few things.
-
Point to one. Let me give you the first point. Even as
-
you go along, just fullow close, you will end somewhere. You will
-
end somewhere, hallelujah. So right, honor God, and it will give
-
life to your relationship with him. On a God, and it would give
-
life to your relationship with him. First some more to verse thirty on a
-
God and it will give life to your relationship with him first and chapter two,
-
verse thirty raise zero. All right, okay, first, some two
-
thirty years. Therefore, the Lord God of Israel says, I said indeed
-
that your house and the house of your father would work before me forever.
-
But now the Lord says, far paid for me. For those who honor
-
me, I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly extinct.
-
Hallelujah. So if you honor God, God will honor you. Hallelujah.
-
Tell you anybody, if you honor God, God will also honor you.
-
Amen. He says, for those who honor me, I will honor,
-
and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. It is my prayer
-
ask for Neszian Church. It will be a check that honest, hallelujah.
-
It will be a check that honest that wherever you find yourself, the know
-
that this where are you coming from? Don't know that you're coming from a
-
family. Hallelujah. A man. So, God is the creator of the
-
heavens, and yet so therefore he expects to be honored. He expects to
-
be honored a man. Yeah, he expects to be honored. So someone
-
will be asking them, so, how do I honor God? Tell you
-
it is a good question. How do I honor God? You are telling
-
me to honor God? So how do I honor him? Tell an,
-
it's a good question. You're asking what you're thinking about. Hallelujah. A
-

Maybe every week I will say five cities so that can support the mission works

their own rich. Some of you can honor with your clothes. Some people
-
want to come among us, but because they are not looking like you,

thing to do. Yeah, honor God with a substance for missions. Man,

-
holy life. Honor God by living a holy life. Allah. Honor God
-
by living a holy life, Hallelujah, by living a holy life. By
-
living a holy life, not living your life anyhow. By your life,
-
must demonstrate, must tell others who you are, because at times some people
-
don't. People around you don't know whether you are a Christian or you're not
-
there. They can't really tell where you stand when they find you among them.
-
They don't know where you stand, whether you are a believer or your
-
God, whether you are here or here. So you must honor God by
-
living a holy life, and then honor God in faith. You must believe
-
in the word of the Lord. Believe honor God in faith. For the
-
Bible said without faith, it is impossible to please God. If you don't
-
have faith in God, you can't please You are not pleasing to him.
-
What are some of the things that are not pleasing? And you mentioned some
-
things that are not pleasing, like what lying? It's not pleasing? What
-
else? What else that I'm not pleasing things? Where he says, ah,
-
yeah, it's not pleasing. That's how you are when you don't have
-
faith. I said, ah, yes, it is not pleasing to God
-
if you don't have faith in him. The things that you say, say,
-
this thing is not looking, Yes, that's how God sees it.
-
Also, know you don't have faith in him, you're not pleasing to him.
-
So you must honor God in faith. If you don't believe in it.
-
At this tent, it's difficult. I'm not sure it will happen.
-
I said, you must honor God in faith. Hallelujah. Telling about honor
-
God in faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. It
-
is impossible to please God. Hallelujah. A man, all right, number
-

-
of the first point, hallelujah. A man point to honor Jesus. Honor
-
Jesus. I believe that we will land somewhere. Honor Jesus. Mat touch
-
after ten verse forty mat touch after ten verse forty. Honor Jesus. Honor
-
Jesus. Under Jesus. Here, who receives you receives me, and he
-
who receives me received him who sends me. Hallelujah. A man honoring Jesus,
-
honoraing Jesus, hallelujah. A man. He said, he who receives
-
you receives me, and he who receives me receive him who sends me.
-
A man. Him seven of God is sending to your life, and you
-
receive him. You have received Jesus. Just like Porca. He said,
-
follow me as I follow Christ, Follow me as I follow. So if
-
the seven of God that has been signing to your life doesn't look like he's
-
following Christ, you don't have to follow. You do not have to follow
-
a man. But he says, he who received as long as he said,
-
he who receives you receives me. And he who receives you, and
-
he who receives me receives him who sent me. Amaans what you are honoring
-
Jesus. Hallelujah. Just like Porsa, he said, follow me as I
-
follow Christ. So if the person is not following, then the scripture is
-
not being fulfilled. Hallelujah. A man, So you are not under obligation
-
to follow. As long as you are following Jesus, then you must follow
-
and receive them by the word of the Lord. Hallelujah. A man.
-
Or put your hands together for the Lord. And if you despise the person
-
you are despising Jesus. Once you despise the person despising Jesus. Amen.

-
wondering Jesus, because once you receive each other, it is Jesus we are
-

there. So on their way back, after the man was started with everything
-
on their way back, then the son told their father. He said,
-
Dad, He said, yeah, boy, what's up? He said,
-
Dad, I thank you for showing me this place. He said why,
-
he said, because now I know where to take you when you are old.
-
Quickly the man turned and went to pick his father. Hallelujah. So
-
honoring you didn't get it. The son told their father that now I know
-
where to take you when you are old, because I didn't want you to
-
take grandfather. Then you took him there, So now now I know where
-
to take you when you are old. Hallelujah. So honoring our parents is
-
a very important thing. Amen. So the way you treat your father,
-
you treat treat your mother, or you treat any guardian in your life.
-
It's like seeds that we sow, they grow. And this is the only
-
commandment with the promise that gives you life, that gives you long life,
-
that gives you eternal life. So honor your parents. Honor your father,
-
honor your mother. It's a very important aspect as believers. Some of you
-
say, are you cry? You are lie Christians, see how you're talking.
-
So if from today, it is my prayer that if you have not
-
honored your parents, work well enough that from today it will begin to change
-
a man, as it will begin to change from today, that your relationship
-
with your parents will begin to change and you begin to honor them and fulfill
-
the word of the Lord over your life as a believer, a man,
-
so that when your mother or your father is trying to correct you, then
-
you have to humble yourself and stop playing table tennis with your father, your
-
mad You have change as like when he's much that you give him back hand
-
you Smasch wears back to him, hallelujah a man. But it is my
-
prayer that will change a man. Is my prayer that will learn how to
-
honor us nezji and checks that honor will be part of us, that will
-
be humble enough to honor our parents in the name of Chans. Just hallelujah
-
a man. Let me just quickly give you one quickly at one point on
-
honoring your past us, your servant of the Lord people who have been sending
-
to your life. Honoring next week is a pastor at Bishop Nicholas and Can
-
William's birthday, a man. Is important that we honor him, a man
-
with our substance, with everything first five seventeen, quickly we will be rappy,
-
are wrapping up. So when you honor your parents, he set as
-
a foundation for a pleasured life. When you honor your parents, he serves
-
as a foundation for a blessed life. Yeah, you'll have that long life.
-
So honor your pastors, he said. Let the elders who rule well
-
be countered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and
-
doctrine. A man. So it's important that you honor the servant of God
-
that have been sent into your life. And it's important for us to honor
-
our paper the Achbishop Nicholas and Williams a man. Yeah, especially even as
-
his birthday is coming. You know how even only will with it at his
-
every days. But every days are just one of them, the days that
-
you can honor. Hallelujah, Amen. How many of you, how many
-
of you know that Reverendron does not need your credits? Yes, okay,
-
but you can honor him with your credit without him knowing, or revenge without
-
him knowing. It's an honor. It's an honor. So it's not the
-
how much. It's not the how much, hallelujah, Amen, but as
-
little is the thought of them that owner. That's the whole idea, not
-
they amount or what you do, but the thoughts alone, hallelujah Amen.
-
So honoring it is an important thing in our lives. It's an important So
-
once you're honoring somebody, it's not because the person needs it so much,
-
but it has its own blessings that also comes. Just like I said,
-
Honor God, honor Jesus, Honor your parents. They all have their blessings.
-
Amen. And I pray that this church will be a church that honest,
-
will be a check that honest a man. Hallelujah. So don't criticize
-
your pastors, hey away together, don't criticize your pastors. For you to
-
honor your pastors, do not criticize them, Amen, And do not despise
-
your pastors. Obey your pastors. Like I said, the follow me as
-
a follow Christ. So you are obeying them in their Lord. If what
-
they are telling you is not related to the Lord. Then you don't you
-
know, you're not under obligations to obey. But once it is in language
-
scripture, obey, obey, obey, halleluya. And it's also an important
-
part that you celebrate your pastors a man. Celebrate them whichever way you can,
-
in whichever way you can celebrate them, hallelujah. So honoring is a
-
very important aspect. Even as our pastor at Bishop Nicholas and Co Williams weever,
-
is just around the corner, we have to find a way to celebrate
-
him and honor him a man, a man? Is he a good thing
-
to do? All right? Then put your hands together for the Lord.
-
It's an important aspect. Most of the time we only talk about the pastors.
-
We only talk about the bishops, but sometimes their wives are not seen.
-
But once you honor the husband the pastor, you mustpand other wives as
-
well. It's an important aspect. You can't say, oh is the pastor
-
I like by their wife? I don't like. No, not an honor.
-
It is not an honor. It said dishonor. The Bible said that
-
two so are the one. So once you are honoring the pastor, you
-
must honor the wife. You must another hallelujah, A man put their hands
-
together for the Lord. Yeah. So, as I'm bringing this sermon to
-
a close, as my time is that, I want you to know the
-
honoring gives life to us. Honoring brings blessing in a special way. Honoring
-
God has its own blessing. Honoring Jesus has its own blessing. Honoring your
-
parents has its own blessing. See, your parent might not be a Christian
-
or a believer, but you are. But you might honor them. You
-
must honor them. In fact, your parents could be sending you to buy
-
them jobs, but honor them. It's not what they do and what the
-
word of the Lord is telling us to do. Your parents may be drinking
-
and they will send you to go and buy thoughts. Go and buy it,
-
and come you are another one drinking it. But still honor them.
-
Honor them, Honor them, because the blessing would not be for them is
-
for you. Once you're honoring them. It is for you, not for
-
them. Hallelujah. The rest of the thing, it is between them and
-
God. If they're not clear what they are supposed to do, hallelujah.
-
It is between them and God. But for you do your parts as a
-
child of God. It says honor your father and your mother, that it
-
may be well with you a man, and you together for the Lord
