At Cliffdale Christian Center, we have been focusing on the issue of honor for many weeks. This was initially stirred as a result of attending a conference at Bethel in Redding, California.
While there, I asked the Lord what was behind the revival culture that has been sustained there for so many years. The reply was very clear and simple. I believe it came in a single word and that word was "honor."
So now we have been delving very deeply into this issue and have discovered some impressive truths connected to honoring God and honoring others.
I want to briefly hit on two ways we honor God. These are probably the most evident, and yet at times, the most challenging areas in a believer's life. We honor God largely through honoring His Word and His Spirit.
Keep in mind that honor is the value we place on something or someone. Therefore, we should ask ourselves, "To what degree do we honor God's Word?" Do we really give the Word a place of high honor as we go through our daily lives? Do we honor the Word enough to seriously study to show ourselves approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15)?
Does the Word of God govern our decisions? Is the Word the standard by which we live?
These are some of the questions that can help us understand the degree to which we honor God by honoring His Word.
Next we will look at ways to honor God by honoring His Spirit. If you are interested in listening to the series regarding "Honor," sermons are available at www.cliffdalealive.com. Many testimonies have been received in regard to how this message is changing lives and relationships. Glory to God!
In Him,
