Joshua Boyd
God honors, not everyone, those who honor Him. Too often, believers put the responsibility on God that God has designated to us. Do you want to be honored? It isn’t automatic. It isn’t because of your title, status, family, good works, etc. You must first honor Him. But not honoring God isn’t the neutral position—it is the complete opposite. If you think lightly of Him, His ways, His Word, His commands, he will think lightly – despise – you. Yikes!
Giving is a key indicator of honor. When you honor someone, you will give to them, and give to be with them. That leads us to today’s point:
Honor means Giving
In other words, when you honor something or someone, you will give to it or them—time, energy, money, priority. Every person who wants to be a disciple of the Master, the Lord, must be a tither, must give offerings. Without that physical act of giving, there is no honor. Why do you think we spent so many Sundays this year talking about Biblical Finances. Where you prioritize your money, is where you prioritize your heart.
