THEME: HONOR

Proverbs 18:12

Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.

INSIGHT
-Honor in Hebrew comes from the root word kabad/ kabod which means to abound with, become noble or rich; be burdensome or grievously afflict. It also means: – manifestation of respect or reverence, to be excellence of character or high moral worth, be in position or privilege, high rank, famous, respectable, to submit, worship or adore. Several biblical passages have outlined the word honor including: – God received honor before Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen (Exod 14:18), the Father will honor those who follow Him and serve Him (Jn 12:26). We are called to honor our parents (Exod 20:12), the governing authorities (Rom 13:1-7), masters (1 Tim 6:1), the king (1 Pet 2:17), fellow believers (Rom 12:10), widows (1 Tim 5:3) and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior (Ps 50:23); Who was crowned with honor (Jn 5:23) for dominion, honor and praise belongs to Him (Rev 5:13) etc.

-To humble one self means to fear God; and its fruit is honor, riches and life (Prov 22:4). King Solomon did not fall short of these expectation and when he submitted to God; he was rewarded. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Mat 23:12). Satan the anointed cherub exulted himself before God and he was cast down to the deepest parts of the earth. We are called to be poor in spirit in humility; and we shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.

PRAYER

You are our King of kings Father, our Lord of lords, our Lord and Savior, we thank You and honor Your holy name. We humbly come at Your feet Jesus asking for mercy and grace. Hear our prayers Father and fulfill our hearts desires. Forgive us our sins and cleanse us by Your precious blood. Where would we have been without You Lord. You have protected us, provided for us, sustained us, blessed us, comforted us, healed our wounds and given us life in abundance, we praise Your holy name. Instill in us the fruit of humility Holy Spirit and help us to do Your will always. We exult You and praise Your name Lord; for You have done great things in all the heavens and the earth. Amen

Blessed week
