Badge Of Honor




 

Peace and Blessings to you all in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

As we go through our lives on a daily basis we must understand the importance of honoring the God we serve. Everything we do and say should be preceded with thoughts of honoring Him. In this message are a few areas in which we must honor God in daily.

 

Honor God In Conversation: As believers we must understand that our words not only carry power but also are representation of God in which we have become a spokesperson of the Kingdom of God. We have to be careful of every word that we speak because we will have to give an account for every word (Matthew 12:36). We must not engaged in foolish talk, arguments, debates, and nor should we use foul language of any kind (Titus 3:9). Once we have experienced God and truly are serious about serving him then he will teach us how to talk just as he does according to Isaiah 50:4. Our words should be those of God because things we speak as believers are tied to seasons in our lives and others. People should hear wisdom in your conversation because of what God is saying through you at that moment. There is a difference in Godly wisdom being spoken and someone just wanting to show their intellectual ability about the word of God (Colossians 2:8). Godly wisdom is learning the word of God and the application of the word of God. Remember a wise man teaches his mouth according to Proverbs 16:23.

 

Honor God In Daily Living: Each day of your life as a believer you should live to represent God through your daily living. Once you repented, believed, and proclaimed Christ as your savior then it’s no longer you who lives but Christ within you (Galatians 2:20). Therefore God should be teaching and directing your life daily in representation as well as fulfilling his agenda through you. Your daily living should bring pleasure to the eyes of God because of how sincere you are about honoring Him. We can’t say we are believers in God while still entertaining the things of the world such as clubs and etc. The way you use to live life should be gone because the word of God says light and darkness can’t dwell together (2 Corinthians 6:14). Sometimes we tend to fool ourselves saying well I haven’t been out in a while or I’m just going to go every blue moon. What if there is someone who’s assigned to you watching but hasn’t come forth yet? If you are saying one thing and doing another this could be damaging to your witness as well as giving the wrong impression as if this is acceptable. We are called to be imitators of Christ therefore we should maintain a disciplined and committed life for Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).

 

Honor In Presentation: Many times we miss the importance of this but how we represent God is important. Many people first encounter with Christ will be through you. Some will have experienced the wrong image of who God is because of believers who are straddling the fence or the things learned through traditional religion. However God is a King who oversees a Kingdom in which we are heirs of this Kingdom. As a believer it is your responsibility to make sure you represent God in a manner that truly reveals who he is as well as his Kingdom. Even how we present ourselves as representative of God must be to a level of excellence.

 

Let’s give God excellence in these areas of our lives so that he may find it pleasant and worthy of all he has done for us.
