222| THE KINGDOM MYSTERY OF HONOUR| SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE|

TOPIC: THE KINGDOM MYSTERY OF HONOUR PREACHER: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa SCRIPTURES Proverbs 3:9–10 Ephesians 6:1–3 1 Timothy 5:17 Acts 28:4 Matthew 10:40–41 KEY POINTS 1. Honour Determines the Flow of Blessings In the house of God, everything flows in the direction of honour. Where honour is present, grace flows; where dishonour exists, grace is blocked. 2. Double Honour — God’s Order for Spiritual Leadership 📖 1 Timothy 5:17 Those who labour spiritually, feed you, bless you, and cover you are worthy of double honour. Honour is not flattery; it is value, recognition, and right posture. 3. Prophets Carry Two Dimensions A Prophet carries: A Blessing A Dagger (Judgment) 👉 What you receive depends entirely on how you approach the anointing. The same anointing that lifts some can judge others — the heart determines the outcome. 4. People You Must Honour Spiritual Parents & Their Family Your spiritual father is a covenant channel for impartation and preservation. Biological Parents Honour guarantees longevity (Eph. 6:1–3). Husbands & Wives Wives honour your husbands; husbands honour your wives with understanding (1 Pet. 3:7). If you play with honour, you lose access to favour, help, and grace. BENEFITS OF HONOUR 1. Honour Opens the Flow of Blessings 📖 Proverbs 3:9–10 Honour provokes divine provision, overflow, and supernatural supply. 2. Honour Gives Access to the Prophet’s Reward 📖 Matthew 10:40–41 When you honour a prophet, you partake of the prophet’s: ✔ grace ✔ favour ✔ revelation ✔ covering ✔ breakthroughs 3. Honour Secures Long Life & Well-Being 📖 Ephesians 6:1–3 Honour extends life and brings peace, stability, and favour. 4. Honour Opens Doors That Hard Work Alone Cannot Open Some doors respond only to honour, not to effort. 5. Honour Protects You From Spiritual Judgement Dishonour attracts negative spiritual consequences. Honour positions you under mercy, not judgment. 6. Honour Provokes Divine Remembrance 📖 Acts 10:4 Honour makes your giving and service rise as a memorial before God. 7. Honour Makes the Anointing Work for You The grace upon your spiritual father begins to produce: ✔ speed ✔ breakthroughs ✔ protection ✔ favour ✔ unusual results 8. Honour Preserves Relationships Honour strengthens families, marriages, and leadership systems. HOW TO SHOW HONOUR 1. Recognition Honour begins with the right thought and right perception. 📖 Acts 28:4 You cannot receive from a man you dishonour in your mind. 2. Reception 📖 Matthew 10:40 Receiving a prophet positions you for the prophet’s reward. 3. Rewarding Honour is also expressed through: ✔ support ✔ service ✔ giving ✔ responsible actions You cannot claim honour where there is no sacrifice. CONCLUSION Honour is a spiritual law, not a suggestion. The anointing you honour blesses you; the anointing you dishonour cannot lift you. Prophets carry both a blessing and a dagger. Your posture determines your portion. When you honour your spiritual father you step into supernatural favour, and unusual breakthroughs.
