HONOR IS THE CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
I’M NOT GOING TO GO INTO IT TODAY BUT...
WE LIVE IN A CULTURE OF DISRESPECT
DISRESPECT IS THE CULTURE OF JEZEBEL
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
JEZEBEL IS A NASTY SPIRIT
I’M NOT GOING TO BE PREACHING ABOUT JEZEBEL BUT....
WE HAVE LOST OUR ABILITY TO HONOR
ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS IS...
THE POLITICAL PARTIES
THEY HAVE LOST THEIR ABILITY TO HONOR ONE ANOTHER
WE USE TO BE ABLE TO WATCH A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE....
AND IT WAS A HEALTHY AND TASTEFUL DEBATE
I MEAN TOTAL OPPOSITES IN POLICY AND IDEOLOGY
BUT THEY WERE RESPECTFUL TOWARD ONE ANOTHER....
NOT ANY MORE....
THE LAST TWO PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES HAVE BEEN HARD TO EVEN WATCH
ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTFUL AND CHILDISH
CHURCH....WE ARE IN TROUBLE...
SOMEBODY HAS TO RE-CULTIVATE THE STANDARD OF...
HONOR AND RESPECT...
AND I BELIEVE IT STARTS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
IS THERE ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY...
TO CULTIVATE HONOR AND RESPECT
WE SHOULD NOT JUST HONOR PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE HONORABLE
BUT WE HONOR PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT IS OUR STANDARD
OH MY LORD…I WISH SOMEBODY WAS HEARING ME THIS MORNING
WE SHOULD NOT HONOR PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE...
THAT PERSON IS HONORABLE
BUT BECAUSE HONOR IS MY STANDARD
WHETHER YOU LIVED A LIFE WORTHY OF THAT HONOR OR NOT.....
DOES NOT MATTER TO ME
BECAUSE THIS IS MY STANDARD
AND THIS IS THE CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM
MY LORD, HELP US
CHURCH.....
THIS IS A SERMON THAT CAN BE LIFE CHANGING IF YOU ALLOW IT
AND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LIVE ACCORDING TO IT.
.......LET’S PRAY..........
EVERY SIN IS A SIN OF DISHONOR
THERE ARE 10 COMMANDS IN THE BIBLE
4 OF THEM HAVE TO DO WITH HONORING GOD
AND 6 OF THEM HAVE TO DO WITH HONORING PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THIS.....
EVERY SIN......YOU ARE EITHER...
DISHONORING GOD,
SOMEONE ELSE,
OR YOURSELF
IF YOU ARE HERE AND LISTENING TODAY...
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE SEED FOR YOU TO TAKE NEW TERRITORY
OH COME ON...
WHEN YOU GET THE WORD OF GOD...
YOU ARE RECEIVING A RECIPE OF HOW TO MOVE FORWARD INTO THE NEXT SEASON OF YOUR LIFE
UNDERSTAND THIS....
LISTENING IS THE SEED.....FOR LEARNING
KNOWLEDGE IS THE SEED.....FOR CHANGE
DOES THAT MAKE SINCE???
YOU CAN NOT CHANGE WITHOUT LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
UNDERSTAND THIS....
TOMORROW WILL BE THE SAME AS TODAY UNLESS..
YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW
BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT LIVE ABOVE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU CURRENTLY POSSESS
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE
YOU WILL RISE TO YOUR LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE
AND WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW.....
YOU CAN NOT POSSESS
CAN I GET AN AMEN??
STAY WITH ME…I’M GOING SOMEWHERE
HONOR IS THE SEED FOR ACCESS
YOU CAN NOT ACCESS...
WHAT YOU DO NOT RESPECT
I HEARD A SERMON A WHILE BACK FROM A PREACHER
HE SAID....ALL THOSE DOCTORS AND ALL THOSE LAWYERS!!!!
YOU NOW WHAT THAT PASTOR WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAVE IN HIS CHURCH....
DOCTORS & LAWYERS.....LOL
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
HONOR IS THE SEED FOR ACCESS
IF YOU ARE A MAN WHO DISRESPECTS WOMEN...
GUESS WHAT....YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET MARRIED
OR YOU WON’T STAY MARRIED FOR VERY LONG
HONOR IS THE CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM
SO UNDERSTAND THIS.....
IF WE WANT KINGDOM THINGS TO HAPPEN IN OUR CHURCH
THEN HONOR TOWARD ONE ANOTHER HAS TO HAPPEN
EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THESE DOORS....
WANTS YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO BE DIVIDED
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
SOMETHING HAS GOT TO HAPPEN INSIDE OF THESE DOORS SO THAT...
WHEN WE MOVE OUTSIDE OF THESE DOORS
WE CAN SHOW THE REST OF THE WORLD SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
LORD HELP US....
WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THEIR ARROWS AND WEDGES..
DIVIDE WHO WE ARE
BECAUSE WE ARE PEOPLE OF HONOR
AND WE WHEN WE HONOR ONE ANOTHER
I AM ABLE TO ACCESS THE GIFTS AND ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE.....WHY?
BECAUSE I HONOR YOU
YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS MY LIFE BECAUSE YOU HONOR ME
WHATEVER YOU HONOR........YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS
OH COME ON SOMEBODY.....THIS IS GOOD STUFF
YOUR LIFE WILL PROBABLY BE DETERMINED BY WHO YOU CHOOSE TO HONOR
FOLLOW ME.....
THE PROOF OF HONOR IS ADAPTATION
I HONOR MY WIFE
AND THEREFORE I HAVE ADAPTED TO MANY THINGS
MY WIFE HONORS HER HUSBAND
AND SHE HAS ADAPTED TO MANY THINGS
IN ESTHER CHAPTER 2 WE SEE THAT....
ESTHER SOAKED IN OILS AND PERFUMES FOR A YEAR IN ORDER TO ADAPT TO A CULTURE BEFITTING FOR A KING
JOSEPH SHAVED HIS BEARD
BECAUSE EGYPTIANS HATED FACIAL HAIR
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
WHAT YOU HONOR, YOU ARE WILLING TO ADAPT TO
I UNDERSTAND THAT.....
SOME OF YOU HAVE HAD TO ADAPT TO BE A PART OF THIS CHURCH.....WHY??
BECAUSE YOU HONOR THE FACT THAT KINGDOM IS REPRESENTED IN THIS ROOM
THE FAMILY CULTURE AND THE UNITY OF THIS BODY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HONOR
AND THEREFORE YOU HAVE ADAPTED
I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND PASTOR....WHAT DO YOU MEAN????
WE MAY NOT SING THE KIND OF SONGS YOU LIKE
AND WE MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME SOUND IN OUR MUSIC THAT YOU PREFER
BUT YOU DON’T CARE....WHY????
BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A BIGGER CULTURE THAT YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF
THEREFORE YOU HAVE BEEN WILLING TO ADAPT AND COMPROMISE
BECAUSE YOU HONOR WHAT GOD IS DOING HERE AND YOU BELIEVE IN IT
DOES THAT MAKE MORE SINCE????
LETS GO TO...
Galatians 4:1
JUST LEAVE THAT THERE ON THE SCREEN
I’M GOING TO BE COMING BACK TO IT
MARK CHAPTER 6 WE SEE...
JESUS IS CLEANING OUT HOSPITALS
THE BIBLE SAYS IN ONE SCRIPTURE THAT...
HE HEALED ALL THAT WERE SICK AND AFFLICTED OF THE DEVIL
I WANT A CHURCH WHERE EVERYBODY IS HEALED....IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE
IT SAID THAT.....ALL WERE HEALED
I MEAN HE WALKED THROUGH THE TOWN AND WHEN HE LEFT
NOT ONE WAS EVEN CRIPPLED
THERE WAS NO FEVER
NO DEAF, DUMB OR MUTE
NONE OF IT
NO LEAPERS
IT SAID ALL
BUT THEN HE GETS TO HIS HOME TOWN....
AND NOTHING HAPPENS....WHY
BECAUSE THEY SAID...
“THIS IS JOSEPH’S BOY”
“WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YALL ACTING LIKE THIS”
“WE KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS, HE IS NOTHING SPECIAL”
“WE ALL REMEMBER HIS MAMMA CHANGING HIS DIAPERS AND WATCHING HIM GROW UP”
“HE BUILT BENCHES WITH HIS DAD IN THE CARPENTER SHOP”
“WHY ARE YALL GETTING ALL STIRRED UP ABOUT HIM” THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM”
AND IT SAID....
“HE COULD DO NO MIGHTY WORK THERE AND MARVELED AT THEIR UNBELIEF”
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
JESUS DIDN’T JUST SHOW UP TO THIS PARTICULAR TOWN AND THE ANOINTING ON HIM LEAVE...
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM
IT HAD TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY HONORED HIM
LISTEN TO ME....
IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY HONOR FOR ME TODAY...
THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BLESS YOU
IF YOUR SITTING BACK THERE AND SAYING THINGS LIKE...
“I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS CHRIS GUY”
I CAN NOT HELP YOU...
EVEN IF THERE WAS AN ANOINTING ON MY LIFE
YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT
WHY???
BECAUSE OF YOUR DISRESPECT
IF YOU CAME UP AND GOD WANTED TO USE YOU TO BLESS ME AND ENCOURAGE ME
TO JUST GIVE ME A WORD THAT WOULD HELP ME THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK
IF I DISRESPECT YOU…I CAN NOT POSSESS THAT WORD OF ENCOURAGMENT
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
I MUST HONOR YOU.....THE VESSEL
AND I MUST HONOR THE WORD THAT YOU BRING
I CAN’T HELP YOU TODAY IF YOU DON’T HONOR ME
OH COME ON SOMEBODY…I’M PREACHING BETTER THAN YOUR AMENING
SO JESUS WALKS INTO HIS HOMETOWN AND HE COULD DO NO MIGHTY WORK
NOT BECAUSE HE LOST HIS ANOINTING
BUT BECAUSE HIS PEOPLE WOULD NOT HONOR HIM AS THE SON OF GOD
SO THEY DIDN’T NOT RECEIVE
BASED ON WHO HE WAS
BUT BASED ON HOW THEY SAW HIM....
THEIR PERCEPTION OF WHO HE WAS
THE BIBLE SAYS IN MATTHEW 10:41
41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
NOTICE HE PUT THAT ON YOU...
IF.....YOU RECIEVE
THE IF IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE A PROPHET
THE IF IS ON HOW WILL YOU SEE THEM
OH MY LORD....
AND IF YOU SEE THEM CORRECTLY...
THE REWARD THAT IS ON THEIR LIFE
HAS THE ABILITY TO BLESS YOU
I WONDER HOW MANY BLESSING WE HAVE MISSED OUT ON BECAUSE...
GOD USED SOMEBODY NORMAL
SOMEBODY THAT WE DIDN’T HIGHLY ESTEEM
TO BRING US SOMETHING
AND WE MISSED WHAT GOD HAD BECAUSE WE DID NOT RECEIVE THEM PROPERLY
1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,
MAN THAT IS TUFF WORDING....LOL
AN HEIR.... IS THE ROOT WORD OF INHERITANCE
AN INHERITANCE IS A PRE-ARRANGED BLESSING TO BE RELEASED AT A SPECIFIC TIME OF MATURITY
LET ME HELP US UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER....
AS LONG AS THE ONE WHO IS PRE-ARRANGED TO RECEIVE A BLESSING
AS LONG AS HE IS IMMATURE…DOES NOT DIFFER AT ALL FROM A SLAVE
THOUGH HE IS MASTER OF ALL
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONDITION AND POSITION
POSITIONALLY....HE OWNS THE BILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE OF HIS FATHER
CONDITIONALLY....HE CAN BE LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE BECAUSE HE IS NOT YET OF AGE
SO YOU CAN HAVE A BILLION DOLLARS THAT IS TO BE RELEASED TO YOU AT AGE 30
AND YOU CAN BE 29 AND HOMELESS
ALTHOUGH YOU OWN THE WHOLE THING....POSITIONALLY
CONDITIONALLY....YOU HAVE NOT MET THE REQUIREMENT TO POSSESS IT
OH MY LORD…SOMEBODY HELP ME
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHERE GOD HAS PRE-ARRANGED.....
BLESSINGS TO BE RELEASED AT SPECIFIC TIMES OF MATURITY
BUT WE CAN NOT RECIEVE THEM BECAUSE WE ARE LOCKED IN TO IMMATURE THINKING
WE ARE LOCKED IN TO IMMATURE TALKING
WE ARE LOCKED IN TO HOW EASILY WE GET OFFENDED
OH COME SOMEBODY
WE ARE LOCKED IN TO HOW WE LET OTHER PEOPLE MANIPULATE US
WE ARE LOCKED INTO IMMATURE RELATIONSHIPS
WE ARE LOCKED INTO IMMATURE WAYS WE HANDLE OUR MONEY
WE ARE LOCKED INTO ALL OF THIS IMMATURITY
AND WE CAN NOT POSSESS ANY OF THE BLESSING…ALTHOUGH
WE ARE THE HEIR OF ALL OF IT
DOES THAT MAKE SINCE???
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
UGH....CAUSE THIS GENERATION AINT UNDER ANYBODY...
MY MAMMA DON’T EVEN TELL ME WHAT TO DO
AND THAT IS WHY YOUR LIFE LOOKS LIKE IT DOES RIGHT NOW
OH COME ON.....
THAT IS NOT A COMMENT TO BE PROUD OF
BUT AS UNDER GUARDIANS AND STEWARDS....
IN OTHER WORDS
GOD WILL LOCK YOUR INHERITANCE UP IN OTHER PEOPLE
AND IF YOU KNOW HOW TO HONOR....
YOU CAN RECEIVE THE REWARD
IF YOU HONOR THE PERSON THAT GOD HAS YOUR REWARD LOCKED UP IN
THEN THE HONOR WILL RELEASE THE REWARD TO COME BACK IN TO YOUR LIFE
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT HARVEST
WE SOW SEED FOR HARVEST
HARVEST IS SEASONAL
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP SOWING SEED EVERYDAY
BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW WHEN HARVEST IS COMING
WE JUST KNOW TO KEEP SOWING UNTIL IT DOES COME
INHERITANCE IS NOT SEASONAL
INHERITANCE COMES TO STAY
INHERITANCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEED AND TIME AND HARVEST
INHERITANCE HAS TO DO WITH…
WHO IS YOUR DADDY
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
I WANT TO ASK YOU TODAY.....WHO IS YOUR DADDY???
WE SERVE A FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO CARES FOR ORPHANS AND WIDOWS
A HEAVENLY FATHER WHO IS A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR EARTHLY FATHER IS LIKE BUT...
YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO
LOVES TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO HIS CHILDREN
CAN WE GIVE HIM A SHOUT OF PRAISE FOR HIS GOODNESS AND HIS MERCY
WE SERVE A GOOD GOOD FATHER
WE HAVE AN INHERITANCE
GOD HAS LOCKED IT P IN OTHER PEOPLE
AND HOW WE HONOR THOSE OTHER PEOPLE
WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THAT INHERITANCE BREAKS OPEN IN OUR LIFE OR NOT
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO KILL DEAD THIS CULTURE OF DISRESPECT
I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY DO
DON’T LET IT HAVE YOU
THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE A FOOL
DON’T YOU FOLLOW THEM AND LET THEM DRAG YOU INTO THAT
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
SO WHATEVER I’M DOING I NEED TO DO IT WITH ALL MY MIGHT
AND WHOLE I’M DOING IT....VERSE 24
I DO IT KNOWING THAT I AM BREAKING OPEN MY INHERITANCE
OH MY LORD THAT IS GOOD...
SO GOD HAS LOCKED YOUR INHERITANCE UP IN OTHER PEOPLE
AND WHEN YOU SERVE THEM....LOL
SO WHEN SOMEBODY…CALL IN AT THE LAST MINUTE AND NOW WE NEED A NURSERY WORKER
BRO. DERRICK…WE NEED YOUR HELP…LOL
“WAIT A MINUTE....I’M AN ELDER…I DON’T DO NURSERY”
OK WELL YOUR INHERITANCE HAS JUST BEEN HELD UP A LITTLE BIG LONGER
I KNOW THAT WAS EXTREME....AND IT WAS ON PURPOSE
BUT THE BIBLE SAID.....WHATEVER YOU DO.....WHATEVER
IF YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO MAKE SURE THE TOILETS ARE SHINING AND CLEAN FOR SUNDAY MORNING
MAKING SURE THERE IS NO PAPER ON THE FLOOR…WHATEVER IT IS
YES IT IS AN UNINSPIRING TASK.....
SO HOW DO I MAKE INSPIRING?????
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
KNOWING....THAT WHEN I DO IT...
I’M DOING IT NO FOR OTHER PEOPLE
BUT I AM DOING IT UNTO THE LORD
OH I WISH SOMEBODY WAS GETTING THIS THIS MORNING....
.....WORSHIP TEAM COME JOIN ME.....
REMEMBER IF YOU DO THINGS JUST FOR PEOPLE...
YOU WON’T DO IT WELL
AND YOU WON’T DO IT LONG
LET ME TELL YOU HOW LONG YOU WILL DO IT...
YOU’LL DO IT UNTIL YOU FIND SOMETHING OUT ABOUT THE LEADER THAT YOU DON’T LIKE
AND AS SOON AS YOU FIND A KINK IN THEIR ARMOR OR A FLAW IN THEIR CHARACTER
YOUR DILIGENCE WILL DIMINISH
IF THIS IS THE CASE…YOU ARE ALREADY DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS
........................................
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE YOU PROPERLY
I HAVE TO PERCEIVE YOU PROPERLY
I CAN NOT GET WHAT IS ON YOUR LIFE
IF MY PERSPECTIVE OF YOU IS NOT RIGHT
IT IS NOT BASED ON WHO I AM
IT’S BASED ON HOW YOU SEE ME
JESUS WAS WITH THE WOMEN AT THE WELL…HE SAID
MAY I HAVE SOMETHING TO DRINK
OK....THIS WOMAN DIDN’T CARE MUCH FOR MEN
SHE DIDN’T HAVE A HIGH VALUE FOR MEN AT ALL
AND SHE KEPT COMING TO THIS WELL OVER AND OVER TO DRAW WATER
AND JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES...
I MUST GO TO SAMARIA…EVEN THOUGH IS WAS TOTALLY OUT OF THE WAY
AND HE ENCOUNTERED THIS WOMEN AT THIS WELL
AND THEN HE ASKED FOR A DRINK
SHE SAYS....”THE WELL IS DEEP AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DRAW WITH”
AND YOU JEWS DON’T EVEN TALK TO US SAMARITANS...
JESUS SEES THAT HE IS GETTING NOWHERE BECAUSE..
SHE SEES HIM AS A JEW
HE SAID....GO CALL YOUR HUSBAND....
“UH…I DON’T HAVE A HUSBAND”
THAT IS CORRECT…YOU HAVE HAD 5
AND THE ONE YOUR WITH NOW…YOUR SHACKING UP WITH
SO…WHAT IS JESUS BASICALLY SAYING???
I HOPE YOU LIKE COMING TO THIS WELL
BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T CHANGE THE WATER YOU ARE DRINKING…
YOUR GONNA COME BACK HER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
YOU ARE MOVING FROM MAN TO MAN TO MAN
BECAUSE THERE IS A HOLE IN YOUR BUCKET AND YOU CAN’T CARRY ANYTHING INSIDE OF YOU
YOU ARE EMPTY
AND JESUS SAYS…IF YOU KNEW WHO YOU WERE TALKING TO
YOU WOULD ASK ME FOR WATER AND YOU WOULD NEVER THIRST AGAIN
WHEN JESUS TOLD HER THIS…WATCH HER SHIFT
SHE SAYS....SIR,
I PERCEIVE THAT THOU ARE A PROPHET
JESUS WAS UNABLE TO PROPHESY TO HER
WITHOUT FIRST SHIFTING HER PERCEPTION
AS LONG AS HE WAS A JEW
HE COULDN’T HELP HER
BUT WHEN HE BECAME THE SON OF GOD
HE CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
OH MY LORD…HELP US...
HIS ANOINTING DID NOT CHANGE
THE WAY SHE SAW HIM CHANGED
OH THAT IS GOOD...
EVERYBODY HERE MAY HAVE COME TO RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM ME TODAY....
BUT DID YOU DID COME EXPECTING TO RECEIVE SOMETHING....
FROM SOMEONE ON YOUR WAY OUT THE DOOR?
(THE STAGE)
(THE CONGREGATION)
UNDERSTAND THIS....
WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO HONOR WHATS UP THERE
NOT REALIZING THAT THE ANOINTING IS…RIGHT HERE (THE CONGREGATION)
HONOR GIVES YOU ACCESS.....
ACCESS TO WHAT?
ACCESS TO THE REWARDS THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU
ACCESS TO THE INHERITANCE THAT HAS BEEN PRE-ARRANGED TO BE RELEASED IN YOUR LIFE AT MATURITY
MAKE HONOR THE STANDARD IN YOUR LIFE...
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;
SO NOW WHEN I LOOK AT YOU..BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF JESUS THAT HAS TOUCHED ME
THIS IS NOW MY PERSPECTIVE
EVERYTHING THAT I DIDN’T LIE ABOUT YOU DIED WHEN JESUS DIED
THAT IS CHALLENGING CHURCH
2 Corinthians 5:15–16 (NKJV)
15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
THAT IS HARD.....WE HAVE TO LEARN TO RECEIVE OTHERS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
I NO LONGER SEE SO AND SO AND ALL THAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THEM
I HAVE TO LEARN TO RECIEVE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
“BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN HIS NAME”
THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IN YOU THAT
IF I HONOR....IT’S UNLOCKED FOR ME
......STAND TO YOUR FEET.......
EVERYBODY HATES YOUR SUPERVISOR
YOU NEED TO BE THE ONE THAT HONORS THEM
THE NEXT TIME YOUR WAITRESS DOES A TERRIBLE JOB
YOU HONOR THEM WITH A FAT TIP
OH COME ON....I KNOW IT’S HARD
WHEN YOU HONOR THE UNHONORABLE
IT CHANGES PEOPLE
THIS IS NOT JUST HOW YOU CHANGE THE CULTURE OF A CHURCH
WE CAN CHANGE THE CULTURE OF A SOCIETY
BUT IT STARTS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
OH COME ON...
IF YOUR READY TO GROW TO MATURITY
IF YOUR READY TO SAY YES TO SERVANTHOOD
YES TO A STANDARD OF HONOR
CAN YOU JUST RAISE YOUR HANDS ALL OVER THIS BUILDING
THESE ALTARS ARE OPEN....LETS WORSHIP THIS MORNING
