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:

1. A Blessing

2. 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

1. Spiritual Parents & Their Family

   • Your spiritual father is a covenant channel for impartation and preservation.

2. Biological Parents

   • Honour guarantees longevity (Eph. 6:1–3).

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.
