Honour

In our mandate for this year we are looking at the concept of Honour. What it is to Honour God and each other?

In looking at this it is good to examine how we can apply this in our lives. A good example of this can be seen in the story of the Exodus of God’s people from SLAVERY in Egypt. It is interesting to look at this, at this time of year, because we at Forerunners have been challenged to study various traditions and what just is involved. With this in mind we look at maturing in terms of being able to choose just what we do follow. We hope by now that we are able to discern between what is merely following man’s tradition and being free to Honour God. This is a difficult and, sometimes, unpopular thing. In this example and many similar ones, God seeks to gain the Honour and respect of having the final victory. God is a jealous God and will have the final word at the end of time. Indeed the victory He acheived was unpopular and disputed even now, but in the end... every knee will bow!

I WILL GAIN HONOUR (Exodus 14:17)

In this story we know there has been a struggle between Pharoh and Moses... God’s people were finally freed because He had the last word. The BLOOD OF JESUS was and is the final word, which satisfies and defeats the enemy. Because of this, we are free to discern and do not have to be slaves to the tradition of men.

Who will be HONOURED at the end of it all.  Indeed we have a choice, but what choice best Honours God and His people?
