TOPIC: GOD GIVES YOU MORE HONOUR
Scriptural
Reading: “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the Son of man, that
thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angles, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour”. Psalm 8:4-5
Honour depends on how you treat
somebody in your care. Also, it depends on individuality and maturity of
people. Some people get offended at the respect and honour accorded to others,
while some others find it difficult to give honour to another.
What many have
not realized is that the kingdom of God is a place of honour and respect. It is
so evident that God gives man more honour and man could ever give himself or
another fellow. He positions you for royalty (1Peter 2:9a). As a matter of
fact, God takes you from where you are to where you ought to be, if you would
let Him. Moreover, our Lord Jesus admonishes that we give honour to whom honour
is due (Luke 20:25). However, men of the senses will only be judgmental because
they are ruled by their flesh, so they cannot please God as in Romans 8:8
Where
people saw a shepherd, God saw a king in David. When others saw an old
childless man, God saw the father of many nations in Abraham. It does not
matter how people see you now. God sees a person who has not discovered his
identity and his rights in Christ, He sees a person of honour.
PRAYER:
My
Father, My Maker, make me a vessel unto honour.
