HONOUR GOD
MEMORY VERSE
So shall thy barns be
filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Proverbs 3:10
READ
Proverbs 3:9-10
Proverbs 3:9 Honour the
Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
Proverbs 3:10 So shall thy barns
be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
MESSAGE
Ephesians 6:1-3 commands children not only to obey but also to honour
their parents. If you know how to honour your daddy, that attitude will see you
through certain storms of life. Not many believers know the full value of the
giving of first fruits. Proverbs 3:8-9 says you should honour God, who is the
Father of fathers with your first fruits. Many pastors know how to collect it
but not how to give it. When the high priest was dressed in filthy garment and
Satan was standing by his right hand to accuse him, who rescued him? It was
God. The only individual who decides the winner or loser in any given battle is
God. No wonder it was said in 1 Samuel 2:9 that we cannot prevail by physical
strength. Remember that God is the One who gives dreams and also the One who
can help you to realise them. If God is with you, it does not matter how many
the opposing forces are; you shall prevail. This was why Joseph saw offending
God as a great sin against God. One thing that keeps me from sinning is not
punishment from man but from God.
Do you honour God with your first fruits? Your first salary on a new
Job is your first fruits. So also is your first profit on a new business. It is
also the difference between your old salary and the new salary when you are
promoted or given a salary raise. Similarly, your first salary in a particular
year can be your first fruits. First fruits is to be paid 100%. In the case of
a salary increase, if you received a raise from 50,000 to 75,000, you will be
expected to pay tithe on the 50,000 former salary, but you will also have to
pay the 25,000 difference between both old and new salaries as your first
fruits. Do this and God will cause your storehouses to be filled with plenty.
ACTION POINT
One obligation you owe God for being Your creator and God is honour.
To what extent are you honouring Him?
