INCREASED HONOUR !!

INCREASED HONOUR
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Galatians 6:6-8

“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?…” - Malachi 1:6

A trend of increasing honour in a church can only come about by teaching the subject, emphasizing the Word of God and leaving the congregation to appreciate the gift of God in their midst.
I know churches where the impact of the pastor is great within the church because there is a strong maintenance of the appreciation culture in that congregation. The pastor himself may strongly introduce himself and inform the congregation of their need to appreciate and recognize the gift that God has placed in their midst. This is important so that the congregation does not miss the blessings of the anointing. What is the point of having such a great gift in your midst and not benefiting from it? What is the point of having the biggest river in your city and yet have a shortage of water? What is the use of bread you cannot eat and money that you cannot use? What is the use of an employee who is not allowed to work for you?
Decide to increasingly honour the anointed in your midst to provoke a great blessing for your life and ministry.
If you receive a person as an associate pastor you receive the blessing of an associate pastor. If you treat the person as a great apostle, you receive the blessing of a great apostle. If you receive the person as a pianist you receive a pianist’s reward. If you receive the person as a teacher, you will receive the blessing of a teacher. The reward or blessing you receive from a person is according to the rank or name in which you receive the person.

PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON JESUS' FINISHED WORK - PS JOSEPH PRINCE

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot

“Though the mountains be shaken and the   hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not   be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”   says the   Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10,  NIV I want to give you a simple but critical truth. Memorize this truth. Feed on it. Let it take root in your spirit and become an anchor in your life. You will never be the same again. Are you ready? Here it goes: As a child of God, no matter what happens in your life, your Father in heaven loves you dearly and nothing you do can ever change that. Will you believe that today? Whether you are going through good times or facing challenging times, you need to know that your Abba loves you. There is nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you more, and nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you less. Even—or perhaps  especially —when you feel like you have failed, know that you will  always  be the apple of His eye.  Always . God loves you with an eve
