Honor

We call out to God, the relationship that we address is Father

Because God has given us the Spirit of adoption.  we cry out  Abba Father.

Romans 8:15

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,[e] Father.”

Our Church Vision also

Honor God

Reveal Life

Share Hope

Malachi 1:  6 

“A son honors his father,
And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’

When we call God as our Father.

God is expecting 

If then I am the Father, Where is My honor?

Prayer is in the closet.   In the closet we can call God as Abba Father.

but Honor is always revealed in our works and it is revealed outside.

Honor is to Gods Name.

8 And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept[d] you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.

Bringing down the Name of the Father in public - is dishonoring Fathers Name.

Parents always their children to honor their name in public.

In the above verse 6,  God says Israel did not honor His Name

and Israel is asking how they did not honor HIs Name.

When your Fathers Name, Fathers Word becomes last priority  we dishonor His Name.

Here the people brought the lame and sick.

Authorities are not pleased by least offering.

Wow, for most of the people.

The attitude to honor Gods Name, Gods Word is utmost importance for God when we call Him as Father.

Verse 11

11 For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great among the Gentiles;
In every place incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

Honor the Heavenly Father

Honor your Spiritual Father

Honor your Physical father and mother.

Father is a position where honor has to be given.
