[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to this Spirit-filled word by David Enshu. When you catch a word, you have caught God. May you catch a word today that will cause God to change your story.

[0:13] Be blessed. I'm preaching about the mystery of honour. The mystery of honour. It's a strong mystery that only those who practice it see the benefit.

[0:28] When it comes to education, sometimes if you don't give yourself to education, it's later you find out that it's bad. People who really do give themselves, sometimes they really realize their thing is good.

[0:39] If you have tasted good things before, you can tell that. Like someone said, I've been poor before and now I'm rich and I know the difference. I think I prefer being rich. Honour?

[0:53] Honour is like a hidden secret. Okay. That even if something is hurting you or dishonour, lack of honour is hurting you, you are likely not to know that your problem is that one.

[1:12] You know, like when diet is becoming a problem, and maybe you're having some headaches, but you're not sure. What is it that you have? Or reaction? You're not sure. You're not sure. And the doctors can't even tell.

[1:23] What is it that you are eating which is really causing this problem? You know, it becomes a problem. You need someone who can understand your system and go through the process of elimination and help you to identify.

[1:36] When you identify that, ah, it is the tomato I've been eating. This tomato. You save yourself from a lot of, you might not even need medication.

[1:48] You just stop that. There's something you stop. Like last Sunday, Pastor Frank preached powerfully, and he made a statement that every struggle in life is traceable to dishonour. But many simple things will never know.

[2:01] You won't know that the struggle is because of dishonour. You won't. That's the danger of the secretness of honour. That honour will announce itself and tell you, I am the one hurting you.

[2:14] Lack of honour. Because you don't have me in my life, that's why you are hurting. You won't know. All right, so, honour. Honour is so powerful. I've not read my opening scripture yet.

[2:25] Eccents chapter 6, verse 1, 2, and 3. I know somebody's thinking. Bible says that the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning.

[2:38] Sometimes you need to go to places that will make you start thinking about your life. Sometimes you can't see where your end is likely to be like and advise yourself. Honour is something that you need to be told.

[2:51] The importance of honour, else it can hurt you. Or lack of it can hurt you. Eccents chapter 6, verse 1, 2, 3. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise.

[3:04] That it may be well with thee, and thou may live long on the earth. Wow. It's a common scripture. Children, we always teach this to children. It's that children obey your parents in the Lord.

[3:17] For this is right. Then, besides obeying parents, he said, father and mother, there's something to do to a father and mother. What do you do to a father and mother?

[3:27] He said, honour your father and mother. And he says that, for your information, this is the first commandment that came with promise. The first commandment that had a promise attached to it.

[3:39] And he said, that it may be well with you. Why should you honour your mother and father? That it may be well with me. Says who? Says the creator. I don't believe in that.

[3:50] No problem. You'll find out later. Honour your mother and father. Why? That it may be well with you. Hey, pause. So there's a way your well-being is guaranteed.

[4:01] Just not prayer, not stealing, not doing wrong or not doing bad things. He says that there's a way it can be well with you by this singular practice.

[4:17] That it might be well with you. And not only that, that you may live long on the earth. Ha! Oh! So long life is also connected to honour.

[4:31] Oh, really? Who I honour can determine how long I live? Every time. Your gym registration is so much. You don't talk to your mother by every time you are in the gym.

[4:51] You are not smart. It's good to go to the gym. But balance doesn't guarantee balance health. It is not getting well with you.

[5:05] Check historic issues with your mother and father. It's not getting well with you. Check it. Because some of us, we have history. And you think it's gone.

[5:16] It's just like you haven't paid a certain bill five years ago. And the bank hasn't said anything. So you think it's gone. Until you want to buy a house. Yeah.

[5:29] Yes. You think it's gone. And unfortunately, at least, with credits, bad credits or CCJ and some of those things. After six years. Yeah.

[5:40] And sometimes after ten years. And even when you do well, sometimes it doesn't matter. But when you talk about the issue of honor. After 30 years, it's still biting you.

[5:51] Dishonor. It linger. It becomes part of your identity in the realm of the spirit. Some things identify.

[6:03] Problems identify. Okay. There's one potential. One coming. They identify you. You'll be working with somebody. And the problem is coming. And they will never go to that person. Okay. Let me. It will not go to you.

[6:14] It will go to that person. Why? Because of dishonor. That has been buried in the person's past. And he hasn't done anything to rectify it. Your well-being has a lot to do with who you honor.

[6:28] How well you do in life. Listen, it has a lot to do with how well you honor in life. Honor. Someone say honor. Honor.

[6:38] Honor is such a mystery. Today we saw in the scriptures, our Bible reading for today, chapter 12, verse 10. It says that honor all men. Honor their brotherhood.

[6:51] It's very important. In honor, preferring one to another. Honor is crucial. Now, in Proverbs chapter 30, verse 11.

[7:02] Proverbs chapter 30, verse 11 says that there is a generation that cursed their father. It's like it's a generational thing. They don't value the role of a father. It has become a norm to insult a father, to insult a mother, to say, I don't need you.

[7:19] Who do you think you are? It has become a norm in a society community. Oh, yes. And other communities, you dare not, it don't even close your mind. It don't even close your mind.

[7:29] Because, you see, you inherit your father's blessing, your mother's blessing, your father's woes, your mother's woes. So, some of us, some things that we are going through is because of who gave birth to us.

[7:45] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where do you think your DNA came from? Your DNA didn't come from a stranger. There's a generation that curses their fathers.

[7:57] They curse their fathers. And it's like, okay. So, most homes are broken. Good people.

[8:09] It's not because the people are bad. Good people. But, you know, there's a way to drive so you don't get involved in an accident. If you, you can be a good person, you can be a priest, but if you don't follow the highway code, you're involved, you'll be involved in an accident.

[8:23] Amen. So, there's a way. Everything has a way to do it. And we have to be taught. We have to be taught. So, the more spiritual you are, the more you shouldn't be blind to these things.

[8:37] That's what I'm trying to say. You can't be so spiritual that certain basic things that underget well-being in life have missed you. What kind of spirituality is that? What kind of spirituality is that that makes you, you don't even notice it because the closer you come to, you get to God, the closer you get to victory.

[8:56] And the victory is not a donation. Success is not a gift. There are many gifts in life. Unfortunately, success is not another. So, the more you go to God, God will guide you.

[9:07] He will teach you. He will instruct you in the way you should go. Sister, what you think you want in life, I think you have to relearn.

[9:20] Or learn some things and learn some. Because what you think you want in life is likely to hurt you. Very much. Likely to hurt you. So, honor is such an important thing.

[9:32] And a whole generation disrespecting their parents. From school. School. And we have schools in certain communities that don't care your behavior.

[9:44] No, no, no. Not at all. They don't care their behavior. Because actually, they can't touch you. Because it's a failing school anyway. They can't touch you. They can't touch you. Train up a child.

[9:56] That's what the Bible says. You don't like it. You are left to your own. The mice. Train the child the way he should go. And when he grows up, he will not depart.

[10:07] Train up. Children must be trained. Train your children to honor. Before they get hurt in life the way you have.

[10:19] There are things to honor. Number one. Things that are just general in life. Number one.

[10:32] The Bible says honor the king. Please, let's train our children to honor people in authority. Train them. Train them.

[10:44] Train them. Train them. Train them. What? You don't respect. Don't expect. Yes. How you don't respect marriage? Don't expect marriage.

[10:55] Every time your mouth is in people's marriages. And this man is a useless man. And look at the way it is. If you don't respect marriage, don't expect marriage. You don't respect honor. Don't expect honor. That's it.

[11:06] You don't respect promotion. Don't expect promotion. So, you must honor the king. A child who is already starting to fight with their teachers.

[11:18] You should know you are raising a prisoner. That's the thing I heard. You are raising a prisoner. Because they have developed the ability to defy authority. In marriage.

[11:31] Everything is so crucial. But we don't realize it. Honor is important. You have to. We have to teach our children. When we ourselves have trained ourselves to honor people in authority.

[11:43] The queen's birthday. Don't say, who is the queen? That's why you don't go anywhere. Who is the queen? Who is the prime? Listen, the prime minister is a public figure and accountable to the society. But it doesn't mean he's a figure that must be dishonored.

[11:56] You have to respect the office. The office and the person. Because of the office, you're the person. That's how it works. But you see, there's a deception going on in the West, in the media.

[12:09] That makes it look like you have the right to speak to anybody the way you want. It will hurt you. Those who are reading the news, the newscasters, you ask them if they speak to everybody the way they want.

[12:19] You read the news, you ask them if they speak to everybody the way they want. If you don't, you are out. So there are bosses. You don't know them. They are there.

[12:29] If you don't know how to work with bosses, you can't be a boss. You'll be boxed out. Boxed in. So, honor the king.

[12:42] Straightly in the Bible. It said honor the king. 1 Peter 2, verse 17. Honor the king. Number two, honor all men. Treat people with respect. Treat people with respect.

[12:54] Some of us, when we get a bit of promotion, we treat people like they are, they don't matter. Today you might be in a good position. Remember, tomorrow it might not be you.

[13:06] So treat people. Nurses, treat people with respect. Teachers, treat their children with respect. Pastors, treat their congregation with respect. Actually, you should be so thankful that people are respecting you the way they do.

[13:18] Because they don't really know you fully. They think you pray a lot. But really, they don't know that they pray more than you sometimes.

[13:30] Faster. In our days, people get into pastoral office because they want, it's ego. They want to look important.

[13:42] So he has his career. Now he has started a church so that at least he can also have the title pastor. So people, relevance, yeah. Hello, sir. Hello, sir. Hello, sir. At the time you realize, it's like you are a baker.

[13:55] You don't know how to bake, but you're not started baking. You've burnt every dough. The other, so honor all men.

[14:06] So honor the king. Honor all men. Honor the elderly. Honor the elderly. Leviticus chapter 19 verse 32. It's a very interesting text.

[14:16] Leviticus said, thou shall rise up before the gray-headed and honor the presence of an old man. Some of us, when we are green, when we are in school and the head teacher enters or somebody of importance enters, we all rise up.

[14:33] Good morning, teacher. Good morning, sir. We rise up when someone of importance enters. It's training. Enters. It's training. It's training. We are trained.

[14:43] We are trained. When you are talking to someone who you respect, if you just, your hands or your, we are trained. In the army, when you see a senior person, you always have to salute.

[14:57] It doesn't matter where you are standing. Permission to carry on. Permission to carry on. Yeah. Yeah. Permission to carry on. They say go. Yeah. The military. Order. Discipline. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we talk about elders, Bible, when we talk about elders, here, it also means someone who is ahead of you.

[15:16] So you just started teaching. People have been teaching for 20 years. Show them some level of respect. That's right. You just became a mother. There are people who are grandparents. Show them some respect.

[15:31] You see what I'm saying? Yeah. You just got your degree. Someone got it 20 years ago. Honor them. See, recognize that you are ahead of me in this matter.

[15:43] I might even know more than you, but you are ahead of me in this matter. You've been on the field for a long time. That's why when you're a young pastor and you have a lot of attention from people and anointing is working, you would think you are the best person in town.

[15:55] All those old people are bad. God has left them. They've lost their fire. The more when you are wise, the more God is using you, the more you humble yourself with fear and reverence.

[16:07] When you see those who have been ahead of you. Humble yourself and know that you are not better than anybody. Especially when there are people who are ahead of you. They started before you came in.

[16:20] Recognize, give some respect. You have just joined the church. You have been made an usher. And eventually maybe a leader or usher or something. Don't just be talking to everybody anyhow. Hey, you sit here. Hey, you.

[16:30] You have no police officer. Even police officers. They tell you, can you please excuse us? Honor people who are ahead of you.

[16:42] People who are ahead of you. You see a pastor in the church. He's a pastor. Well, I'm not a pastor. So just show him some respect. One of the things I thank God for is that way I respect pastors. I respect pastors.

[16:53] And I just celebrate pastors' children. Way before I became pastors, I just love pastors' children. I love pastors' children. Once you are a pastor's child, I just, I just. I don't have immunity.

[17:04] Immunity not to like you. I just like you. I like pastors' children. So people who are ahead of you. So number one, the king. Number two, all people.

[17:15] Number three, the elderly. Number four, your word. Honor your word. Hey. Honor your word, bro. Girl, honor your word. You say you are coming.

[17:26] Come. Oh, please. I think I need to. I see where some of you are coming from. First, I had to honor my word.

[17:40] No. You realize that this one is a foolish only. It's against the word of God. So be happy to dishonor this, your word. And not do it.

[17:51] And not go there. And not say it. You understand what I'm saying? Don't say it with me, I have to keep my word. I have to keep my. I'm talking about where all things are equal. All things be equal.

[18:03] All things are same. Where there is sanity. Keep your word. Some of us, we have trained our children how not to keep their word. You don't keep your word to your children.

[18:14] You tell them I'm coming. You know you are not coming. People come and look for you. You teach your children to go and tell them that I'm asleep.

[18:24] Tell them that I'm asleep. I have a few minutes to end.

[18:39] I have to end. Ah. I'm not actually. All right. So these are. So honor the king. Honor all men. Honor the elderly. Those who are ahead. Honor your word. And honor places. There are some places you have to attach honor to.

[18:51] Wow. Yeah. Yeah. You can't be coming here, eat chewing gum and puttin under there. Honor the place. Honor the place. You can't just sit here and decide that I'm tired.

[19:01] And then lie. Oh, at least show some respect. Honor the place. Sometimes you go. When you go to Buckingham Palace, you have to honor the place. There are places. There are some places that carry certain honor.

[19:13] Jacob. He said, God was here. I didn't know. I didn't know. There's no place. Honor the place. That's why he missed out some things. Because he didn't honor the place. Recognize that this place is also a sacred place.

[19:24] God said, hey, take off your shoe where you are standing. When they are praying, where they still shook. They said, sometimes there's some sanctity or some respect that must be attached to a certain place. Honor the place.

[19:35] So these are just general that human beings everywhere, sometimes even without God, you just have to do it. And once a community knows these things, they will do well as a community.

[19:48] But now the other ones that are more crucial about Revelation, which you must be taught to know to practice, is number one, God. Honor God. So our first five, that is generalized.

[20:03] The next five, you need Revelation. The next four, you need Revelation. So number one, honor God. First Samuel chapter 2 verse 30. Ha ha. First Samuel chapter 2 verse 30. He says that, You despise God, you'll be paperweight in life.

[20:36] You'll be paperweight in spite of your qualifications. In spite of your academic prowess. In spite of where you live, the house you live in, your financial state.

[20:49] You will be nothing. You will be lightly esteemed. So honor God. Honor God. As soon as you know God is involved.

[21:00] Back off. You know God is involved. Back off. But you know, but you, hey, hey. God is involved in this matter.

[21:10] Back off. Honor God. Tell somebody, honor God. One of the reasons why we come to church is because we honor God. Number two. Oh, this one is so powerful.

[21:21] Parents. Obey your parents in the law. Honor your mother and father. If someone is a mother figure, a father figure, you fail to honor them. You are in trouble. I'm going to tell you what it means to honor.

[21:36] You fail to honor a mother. You fail to honor a father. That's why next week is Father's Day. I felt like, let me teach this. Let me not wait on Father's Day to teach it because, so that you have one week to prepare to honor your father.

[21:52] Some of us must go to your boss at work. And say that, I honor you for giving me the opportunity to work here. This is something little I saw, I bought.

[22:04] This is something little I felt like. Just, I want to show, I appreciate. You see, maybe he has a vacancy. They are going for a board meeting. They have a vacancy for some, bigger than you. But I think they remember you.

[22:15] You see, no one has immunity against honor. If you honor them, it's like a magnet. You honor them, you get the attention. Sometimes when you show them, they say, okay. Just, just, just.

[22:26] Your father, it doesn't take too much. I know we have complex situations in families, okay. But it might not take that much. That much to show your honor to your father.

[22:37] To show honor to your mother. I know your mom and dad are at log eyes. But don't get involved, please. Don't, it's not your battle. If you go and pick it, you can't win.

[22:48] You have hurt yourself. Honor. Sometimes, as I said, your boss. The one who recommended you to get into that university. The one who recommended, he was, he told you that, you know what, there's position coming.

[23:01] I'll make sure you get it. And they help you. Someone helped you and taught you GDPR. I'm making money. I forgot about him.

[23:15] Just something little you can show that I am grateful. Husbands, sometimes show your wife that I'm grateful that you married me. With all my imperfections. Not honored your mother.

[23:28] You finished uni. Look at what he went through in spite of your father's absence. When you got your first salary, it's sure you are thinking about. And you don't understand why you never got promotion afterwards.

[23:44] And yet, when you are in need, some people, when they send you a text message, you know it's because you are in need. You know they are in need. That's why they are coming. They only come. You should be a contributor. I heard someone say this was very beautiful.

[23:56] He said, Nobel Prize winners are never given to receivers. It's giving to contributors. People, what you are contributing to, that's when they recognize you. What you contribute to life is what makes you get recognized in life, not what you take from life.

[24:12] We come to service, but many people don't come to serve. Yes, you say I'm going for church service. But you don't come to serve. In heaven's books, it's people who are making it happen that are recognized.

[24:23] Am I, am I, am I, let's get it there. When there's problem at work, you are the gang leader to rebel against authority at work.

[24:39] Yeah. The leadership and management. Management, this thing they are doing. And they know. And they come and report it to you. And you go. No, I know what this is.

[24:51] Especially when you work in local authority office. And you have been in one position for the past 20 years. But you are the spokesperson.

[25:03] And others who are saying, our boss. Wait, wait, thank you. Thank you. No, no, no. The boss said, today, let's close late. He said, no, no, no, no. I can't, I can't stay. And they say, oh, no problem.

[25:14] I have a problem. I will stay. And those who keep doing it are the ones that care for. Those who show their boss that they are actually here to serve. And you don't know why you don't get a promotion.

[25:25] It's not a declaration. Because declaration, you have been reaching. Amen! Amen! Amen! But it's not working. It's not.

[25:37] It's not working. It's not working. Is someone learning anything? Are you learning, sister? Yes. It's important.

[25:49] Honor God. And honor your mother and father. Some of us, even your dad is dead. But don't contribute to spoiling his name.

[26:03] He wasn't that best. It's like you go to a funeral. And you are supposed to retribute. He said, this man was a very wicked man. No. Don't knock a man when he's down.

[26:17] Don't knock a man when he's down. Don't defame people in their absence. Especially significantly poor in your life. Whether you like it or not, you can't change your family.

[26:32] You can't change it. Get over it. In fact, the family you are coming from has contributed to make you who you are. Honor your father.

[26:45] Honor your mother. I'm just telling you. Because some of you, if it has to be prayer, by now you'd have only prayer. You'd have broken through. Victor, you'd have maybe been the prime minister. Yeah. But we said through your life.

[27:01] And unfortunately, some of you, you fought your father, fought your mother in the past. And you haven't done any reparation. And you think it's okay. No. It's not okay. Something needs to be done to fix it.

[27:11] The key of honor is an important key. This honor will pull you down in life. This honor will pull you down in life. They will discover some health challenges easily. Your health can come under fire.

[27:25] Your marriage can come under fire. Your children can come under fire. Your job can come under fire. Your finances can come under fire. Anything significant in your life will come under fire.

[27:35] When you operate in this honor. But you never know. And that's what they won't teach you in our community. Some of the communities that do well from some of other places. They don't joke with that.

[27:48] You'll see a whole lawyer. A whole surgeon. They say their mom is calling her. The mom has spoken. That's my mom. Their mom is like a guru. Their dad is like a guru.

[28:00] And it's just generational thing. They do it. They have to honor. Some people are married because my mom said I should marry her. My dad said I should marry him. And they stay married and peacefully things are working.

[28:16] Listen, you will do well. Amen. This is the season of your well doing in the name of Jesus. Let me add one more and then end because of time. So honor God.

[28:28] Honor your mother and father. I think let me throw your spouse in before I go to the light. Your spouse. He said treat your wife with honor. 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 7. You are married to a wife and you don't respect her.

[28:38] Yeah, because she doesn't do things your way. My closeness, going close to Ag Bishop has taught me a lot. Oh, that man, I admire him.

[28:52] I admire Ag Bishop. And reverend to, hanging around them makes me learn so much. The way they always talk to me. This guy, reverend to when he's talking to me, I actually feel very bad.

[29:09] Because he talks to me in a way I know I don't deserve the way this man is treating me. He treats me so well. I just don't know. I don't know. Why this? And he doesn't change.

[29:22] He doesn't change. Ag Bishop at his level. When I call him, I don't get through to him. Within hours, you return my call. I don't understand. These men are teaching me things.

[29:34] How to relate with people that work with me. How to relate with people who call me father. These men are amazing. Somebody you know that doesn't deserve Ag Bishop to even talk to.

[29:46] Ag Bishop will be nice and calm. Because he's determined that he won't take offense in anybody. And sometimes I'm learning so much. I'm saying, hey, yeah. I said, this man is too wise for my ability to encapsulate.

[29:59] These guys are wise. Don't permit me to use the word guys. They are great guys because they are priests and principles. Priests and principles.

[30:11] I have to now begin to learn. Yesterday, God taught me. No, recently. God taught me some lesson. I had an appointment with a very important person.

[30:21] I prefer. And then it's like it works for us. So every time I've had an appointment, I've been late. Usually I'm busy. But you have to manage your time well.

[30:33] And I had an appointment recently. The person said, okay, let's meet on Saturday. That's why it was Saturday. Let's meet on Saturday. And I was more than an hour late. Called me. Said, no, we can't have this meeting.

[30:45] He left a message. And I felt so bad. I felt so bad. And every time. Sometimes he'll call me three times, four times. Because of my meetings. Later I'll call. Every time I return, he's calling for it.

[30:55] I said, sorry. I'm just, don't be worried. I've never seen him being upset once with my misdemeanor. And he suddenly dawned on me that, can't you learn from this guy?

[31:08] I learned something. And his attitude. I was so late. And when I called, he said, okay, so. Okay, let's see what. As though I've not done anything wrong. I realized I have a lot to learn.

[31:22] Yeah. You have a lot to learn. You are so impatient with your wife. Simply because today is not a good time. You are so impatient with your husband.

[31:34] So impatient with your husband. Because, let's see, that was broken. Now he has nothing. All right, I have to.

[31:51] Finally, please. When you get the opportunity. I think I'll pick on this. The last place of honor. That place, Bible said, they are worthy of double honor. Do not reduce a man of God to an ordinary person.

[32:09] Because remember I said four faces. He said he can be a king and a servant. But a human. Sometimes you see the person's humanity. And you begin to insult God.

[32:21] God, you are not smart. How can you use such a human? But God knows it. And the grace is there. Until you go closer and realize that. Ah, so he can also snore. You can realize that he has normal human tendencies.

[32:36] And some of it is even you are stronger human than them. And you realize that. Ah, man of God. Man of God. One of the things that next week we're going to continue.

[32:47] It's good to continue. Is that okay? Please. Next week we're going to continue. One of the things I will tell you is. Honor must be intentional. When it comes to God. Parents. Or mother and father.

[32:58] Your spouse. And your prophets. It's intentional. You don't just. Oh, it is there. You don't flow with emotion. It's. I've made that my mind. Some people. You can forgive people.

[33:09] You forgive. When you want to honor a person. Don't only forgive them. But forbear with them. There's a difference between forgiveness and forbearance. Forbearance is what.

[33:20] I said there recently. The guy I was going to meet. I've been going late. Every time. And he just behaves like. He knows I'm going to be late. So he was forbearing with me. Some of you. You forgive.

[33:30] But you don't forgive. If you do that. That's this thing again. No. Your mother. Your mother likes talking about your business to people. So it gets to a time.

[33:42] You have to forbear. Forbear with them. That's my mom. I've just accepted. It really upsets me. But you know what? That's my mom. That's my mom. That's my mom. That's my husband. That's my wife.

[33:54] That's my dad. That's my prophet. That's my prophet. That's it. That's my prophet. That's it. He who gives a cup of water to a prophet.

[34:10] Gives a prophet. If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet. Matthew chapter 10. Verse 40 to 42. If you receive. How you receive a person. The person's covenant with God is what works for you. As I said yesterday.

[34:21] You can seek encounters. There are things you can do to seek encounters. Act by faith. Expect. Expectation. Prayer. A prophetic word. But there's some things you can do to benefit from other people's encounter.

[34:33] Without doing what they did to get encounters. For somebody to be a prophet. For somebody to be used by God in a certain dimension. They have paid a certain price. And it says that if you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet.

[34:46] You receive a prophet's reward. Ah. Ah. So gold is the distributor rewards. But there are times where you can get the reward you haven't labored for. Based on how you treated the one who deserved that reward.

[34:58] That's right. Wow. Wow. What did Jesus say in Matthew? In Mark? And in Luke? John 4.44. He said a prophet is not without an acceptance. So one cardinal way of receiving a prophet is by honoring the prophet.

[35:12] Yeah. Why are you struggling? I'll also show you the misconceptions about honor. If we honor it's human worship. No. There's nothing like human worship. At all. Hmm. It's not human.

[35:22] Don't confuse it. Some people have become so religious. They have butchered and vandalized principles. That can help people rise. What do you lose if you honor someone God has chosen to honor?

[35:35] I know he's your brother. If you deal with him like your brother, your day of trouble is just a brother you'll get. If you treat him just like he's one of our church members. In the day of your trouble you'll get church members help.

[35:46] But if you deal with him like a prophet. In the day of your trouble you'll get the anointing of a prophet to speak on your behalf. Don't wait till crisis before you show up I need a prophet's help. No. How you honor the person and receive the person will determine what it becomes in your life.

[36:00] Yes. Good teaching. I'm preparing you for to learn how to take advantage of certain seasons. And honor. Don't struggle to honor.

[36:10] It takes a certain level of faith. Determination. I think I'll go on next week. I'm going on too much. Did you receive something? Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. When God speaks, works show.
