Honour God 2

Honour God 2.
“The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.”
Proverbs 19:23(AMP)

To experience a lifetime of unbroken favour, you must make God the most honourable person in your life. As a man or woman that honours God, you must consciously express your fear, reverence and regard for God in all your dealings. All Job needed to be the greatest man in the East was to fear God and to hate evil according to Job 1:8.

When you honour God this way by having a high regard for Him according to our opening scripture, you will be able to minimize misfortune. Conflicts increases in our lives when we depend on human ability. You can minimize the conflicts in your life by putting your hope, trust and confidence in God.

Jesus finally overcame the devil when he was tempted in Matthew 4:3-11 by following this principle of honouring God above all else. Matthew 4:8-11(AMP) says, “Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them. And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me. Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve. [Deut. 6:13.] Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.”

Instruction.
Let your honour for the Lord be so firm that you are willing to give up anything in the entire world to worship Him.
