(TEXT : Proverbs 3:9)
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
FOCUS :
Jehovah Jireh is not a begger and He is never poor; because He owns all things and He gives anything to those who truly honour’s Him. So if God says you should honour Him, He is not asking you because He is broke, or because He didn’t have or because He needs it: He did ask because the more you honour Him in your giving, the more He will embarrassed you with His blessings, sound health, favour, promotion, and assurance to make it to heaven.
Genesis 22:7-8, 14 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
In addition, some people will say I have been “honouring God in my giving” since all these while: you see, you don’t honour God only in your giving. Honouring God can be in divers ways: such as, your time for the things of God and for the people around you, showing love towards believers and unbelievers, interceding for unbelievers and believers, strengthening the weak among the folks, giving hope to the hopeless around you etc. in doing all these, you are honouring God.
Exodus 14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Finally, when you honour God, God knows how to honour you back in return. You can’t honour God and God will not honour you back, it is not possible. Those who honour’s God will always be honoured everywhere they go. In addition to all the aforementioned, the best way to honour God is to honour Him with your whole life! Don’t deny Him of Him trying to gain access into your life; let the door of your heart be always open to honour God at all cost and at all time. Honour God with your mind, soul, spirit and body; and you will never regret you honouring Him.
Psalms 49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
Psalms 112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
