DO YOU KNOW HOW GOD HONOURS US?

1 Samuel 2:30 (KJV) … for them that honour me I will honour, God honours those who will honour Him. When the Lord gives to us and provides for our every need, He is honouring His commitment to the covenant and His commitment to us as our Heavenly Father. Why do we honour the Heavenly Father? It is because He is God and our Heavenly Father, and Jesus is Our Lord. And He honours us by honouring His commitment to us. Therefore, our commitment is to honour the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; this is our way of committing to the Blood Covenant of our Lord Jesus. When we honour Him, He will honour us again, and we will continue to honour Him. The Heavenly Father gives us all and gives us to give to Him, so we honour Him, the One who provides, protects, preserves, guides and directs us and gives us hope and a bright future.The word “honour” in Hebrew means heavy, weighty, and honoured. It is the same Hebrew word used in Genesis 13:2, translated as “very rich”. Genesis 13:2 (NKJV) Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.Thus, to be “very rich” means Abraham was heavily “weighted down” with wealth. This was how God honoured Abraham, who honoured God. And this is how God the Father will honour us when we honour Him and our Lord Jesus Christ.Abraham honoured God by obeying Him. Abraham left his ancestral home and his relatives to go to some unknown and unfamiliar place the Lord directed him to. Abraham honoured God by simply obeying His voice. And God honoured him with riches. God heavily “weighted down” on Abraham with wealth and made him very rich. We can never outdo God. When we obey Him, He will overly enrich us. God is amazing, doing things superabundantly above all we can ask or imagine. If that was how the Lord honoured Abraham, who obeyed Him by faith, would the Lord not honour us if we obey and serve Him? The Heavenly Father is the same yesterday, today and forever. If we serve money, we will be made poor. But if we serve the Lord, we will be made rich. John 12:26 (NKJV) If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. Anyone who serves Jesus is serving the Heavenly Father. Jesus said the Heavenly Father will honour those who serve Jesus.Abraham is our example, and Jesus is simply stating the nature of the Heavenly Father and revealing to us a spiritual truth. Serving Jesus is honouring the Heavenly Father and Jesus our Lord. Therefore, when we honour the Heavenly Father and Jesus, we will be honoured beyond what we can ask or imagine. Serve the Lord Jesus at His altar in His temple. Live to honour the Lord!Rev. Cheong Yew KwongFaith Church SingaporePlease visit our website at faithchurch.sg#goodtoread ... See MoreSee Less

你知道神如何尊荣我们吗？

撒母耳记上2:30【钦定本】…因为尊荣我的，我必尊荣他；神尊荣那些尊荣祂的人。当主赐予我们，并供应我们的每一个需要，祂是在信守约中的承诺，祂委身于与我们立的约，身为我们的天父，祂也对我们负责。为什么我们尊荣天父呢？那是因为祂不仅是神，也是我们的天父，耶稣是我们的主。祂尊荣我们的方式就是兑现对我们的承诺。因此我们委身于尊荣天父，耶稣和圣灵，这也是我们委身于主耶稣的血约的方式。当我们尊荣祂，祂也会再尊荣我们，使我们继续地尊荣祂。天父把万物赐给了我们，我们把从祂而得的献给祂。我们尊荣祂，祂就是供应、保护、保守、带领、指示，把盼望和光明的未来赐给我们的那一位。“尊荣”一词意味着重的，有分量的，受尊荣的。同样的这个希伯来单词被使用于创世记十三章二节，在此处被翻译为“非常富裕”。创世记13:2 【新钦定本】亚伯兰非常富裕，拥有很多牲畜和金银。所以，亚伯拉罕能够成为“非常富裕”意味着他家业庞大，财富累累。这就是耶和华如何尊荣亚伯拉罕，因为亚伯拉罕尊荣祂。这也是神，我们的天父如何尊荣我们这些尊荣祂和主耶稣的人。亚伯拉罕藉着顺服来尊荣耶和华。亚伯拉罕离开他的本族本家，去往一个未知又陌生的地方，因为耶和华指示他那样做。亚伯拉罕尊荣神，就这样顺服了祂的声音。而神也以财富尊荣他。神厚厚地赐财富给他 ，使他非常富足。你永远不能超过神，当我们仅仅顺服祂，祂会使我们过于富足。神是奇妙的，所做的总是远远超越我们所求，所能想象的。亚伯拉罕凭信心顺服主，主也尊荣他，如果这就是主尊荣他的方式，那么如果你顺服并服侍祂，难道祂就不会尊荣你吗？天父昨日、今天一直到永远都不改变。如果我们服侍金钱，我们一定会变穷。但是如果我们服侍主，我们肯定要成为富足。约翰福音12:26 【新钦定本】若有人服侍我，就当跟从我；我在哪里，服侍我的人也要在哪里。若有人服侍我，我父必尊荣他。任何服侍耶稣的人就是在服侍天父。耶稣说，天父必尊荣那服侍耶稣的人。亚伯拉罕就是我们的榜样，而耶稣只是简单地说明天父的属性，并且也向我们显明一个属灵的真理。服侍耶稣就是在尊荣天父和主耶稣。当我们尊荣天父和耶稣，我们会被尊荣到超越我们所能求、所能想像的地步。在主耶稣殿中的祭坛上服侍祂。过一个尊荣主的生活。耀光牧师新加坡信心教会请访问我们的中文播客,faithchurch.sg/牧师手札/#牧师手札 ...
