MEMORY VERSE: “A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?” – Malachi 1:6 (KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 2:29-30 (KJV) (Scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 5 November 2023 HYMN)‬

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

INTRODUCTION:

Honour (from the Hebrew word ‘tiph’arah’) means esteem,’ ‘value,’ or ‘great respect.’ To honour someone is to bestow value upon him or to highly esteem another. It is very important to note that all authority and honour belong to God alone (1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 5:13). This lesson points us to why and how we should honour God.

LESSON OUTLINES

REASONS FOR HONOURING GOD

WAYS TO HONOUR GOD

1. REASONS FOR HONOURING GOD

God deserves all honour (Rev. 4:11). There has never been, nor will there ever be, anyone in any position of power or of influence who can claim such an honour (1 Timothy 6:16). God alone is the creator and the one that sustains the heavens and the earth (Revelation 14:7).

Therefore, as believers, we honour God for who He is (Isaiah 45:5-6); because he is our father (Matthew 6:9b); in our recognition that the gift of eternal life and the salvation of our souls come through Jesus Christ and him alone (John 11:25; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5); for his goodness and wonderful works (Psalm 107:15); for all his benefits we enjoy (Psalm 63:19).

All true believers are to honour God (Psalm 134:1), through our acknowledgement and confession that he is the one and only God (Exodus 20:3).

2. WAYS TO HONOUR GOD

Below are some of the ways to honour God.

Through our adoration and obedience to His will (1Sam 2:29-30).

To totally commit our lives to him and devote our possession to His service and glory (Matt. 22:37-38; Colossians 3:17).

By giving Him our substances (firstfruits, tithes, offerings, etc.) wholeheartedly (Proverbs 3:9-10).

By living holy because he is holy and we are created in his image (1 Peter 1:15-16).

Honouring God has great rewards: God will honour those who honour him (1 Samual 2:30) and give them overflowing blessings (Proverbs 3:9-10).

CONCLUSION

God deserves all honour and it must be given to him.
