The culture of honour

The culture of honour.
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:1-3

If you want to activate the favour of God on your life then you have to learn the culture of honour. Having the culture of honour helps to release the blessing and the favour of God in your life.

Our opening scripture is the fifth commandment which is the number of grace. It is the only commandment that comes with a blessing. Five is also the number of favour. So, if you want to activate favour, then you have to honour your father and mother.

I heard of a young man that died after beating up his father. The reason why such persons do not live long is very clear: they did not honour their parents. When last did you send something home to your parents? You do not need to have much to begin to practice this principle. I started by sending recharge cards to my parents, but today, as God has increased me, I send much more than that to them. If you do not learn to give to them from what you have now, you will not remember to give to them when you have much.

Honour activates favour, prioritize it.

Prayer.
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me the culture of honour. As I put it to practice, I thank you because favour is activated on my behalf, in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Proverbs 20:20, Mark 7:9-13, Romans 13:7.

Doing the Word.
Start sending a gift to your parents, it is an act of honour.
