You to realize this, “God’s love transcends every physical challenge”. It’s God’s grace you need in your life & not physical ability
From Jacob who limped, to Paul’s thorn in the flesh & Timothy’s frequent illnesses, God’s love was the overriding factor in their lives
As we see from the passage, Haman was ambitious & sought to be honoured. We shouldn’t seek honour, as it comes from God. Ps. 75:7, Luke 14:11
God honours you when He deems it as the right time; don’t seek honour on your own terms
Honour is defined as publically manifested & celebrated respect, esteem, worth or value
You can respect someone privately, without honouring the person. Honour is first an attitude then it becomes an act
How do you show honour? By
1. Public recognition
2. Conferring titles
3. Celebration
4. Showing courtesy
5. By substantiation
Honour originated from God. It is how He shows His approval of a person. John 8:54
Anything you despise, you lay aside. But the things you honour are the things you pursue and likely get
Do what’s expected of you & seek to do the things that will please God, when the time of your honour comes, He will move kings to honour you
Don’t be like those who seek honour running after kings & men to honour them
How do I attract honour?
1. Honour God
a. Give of your substance
b. Serve God
c. Praise God
2. Honour those whom God has honoured (John 5:23)
3. Honour the things you desire
What are the values that you’d like to see in your life? Honour & seek those things.
