Honor’s Reward

Featured Video Play Icon

There is no greater that we can give people than honor!  When we honor people we regard them, love them, treat them with respect and high esteem.

Not only is honor a gift to others, it is a gift to us as well.  When Jesus went to his hometown the Bible records that he COULD ONLY DO BUT A FEW MIRACLES… WHY? Because “A prophet in his home town is without honor.”

When we get familiar with people, used to them, we tend to mistreat them.  We begin to show a lack of honor towards them (this often happens unintentionally).

However, when it happens it now causes us to no longer receive the blessings that God desires to get to us through them.  Because they did not honor Jesus, he could only heal a few… Without honor, we keep the blessing of God out of our lives, but with honor we now position ourselves to receive from the people in our lives and ultimately from God.

Hear this powerful word on Honor and it’s great reward!

Have you ever had to make a difficult decision that you didn’t know how to make?  Maybe it’s a situation in which there is no clear right or wrong answer but you still have to make the decision.

If you are like me, you’ve been there on many occasions.  The solution to this did not come over night rather it came over years of learning how to follow the peace in my heart.

In Scripture God encourages us to “Let the peace of God rule in our hearts.”  That word rule is an authoritative term.  Picture an umpire making the final call.  God is telling us that His peace should be the deciding factor in all of the decisions that we make.

Join John as he shares an insightful story and helps us make difficult decisions with ease.  Watch now.
