John 5:23 Jesus said, "everyone should honor the Father.” I agree! Let’s honor our Heavenly Father on this Father’s Day!
The Bible has a lot to say about this…
Psalm 96:6 “Honor and majesty surrounds Him…”
Psalm 104:1 He is “clothed with honor and majesty”
Psalm 145:5 “I will speak of your honor”
Matthew 6:9, “Our Father in heaven, honored be your name”
Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor” Revelation 5:13, “Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him who sits upon the throne.”
Revelation 7:7 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to God”
Honor means to place a value or worth on someone. You see this person as someone who is valuable to you. They add value and worth to your life. As a result, you respect them greatly. They are someone you look up to and admire. To honor our Heavenly Father means to place a value and worth on him that is above anyone or anything in this life and to reverence him to the highest degree. It means admire him, listen to him, and give preference to him in every way. You see him as someone who has made a major contribution to your life and you recognize that without him you would not be who you are today.
Malachi 1:6 "A son honors his father,... If then I am your Father, where is My honor? …Says the LORD of hosts”
How can we honor our Heavenly Father this Father’s Day?
1/ We honor him when we honor his Son.
John 5:23 Jesus says, "we are to honor the Son just as we honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” We honor God when we honor his Son. To honor the Son is to respect him, reverence him and to place a value and worth on him as we do the Father.
2/ We honor the Father when we honor his Word, the Scriptures.
Psalm 138:2 says “God has honored his word above his name.” We honor him when we honor the Scriptures. We honor his Word when we read it, learn it, and obey it.
3/ We honor him when we honor his people, the saints.
Romans 12:10 says we are to “honor one another.” The “one another” here are fellow believers, saints. We honor God when we honor his saints by loving them, respecting them and give preference to them.
4/ We honor him in every situation.
1 Corinthians 10:31 says “whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything to the honor of God.” Honor him in EVERYTHING!
5/ We honor him when we honor our parents.
Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” This is one of the 10 Commandments. This may be difficult for some because of past abuse, hurt, and neg-lect, but God never commands us to do something that he will not help us do. We honor him when we honor our parents.
We are to honor Jesus (John 5:23), God’s Word (Ps. 138:2), the saints (Romans 12:10), parents (Ex. 20:12), widows (1 Timothy 5:3), older men (Leviticus 19:32), pastors (1 Timothy 5:17), all people (1 Peter 2:17), those in authority (1 Peter 2:17), wives (1 Peter 3:7), husbands (Esther 1:20), but first, above all, we are to honor our Heavenly Father (Matthew 6:9).
All of the above are valuable to us. We are to hold them in high esteem. Respect them, admire them, listen to them, give preference to them. They’ve made a major contribution to your life. Without them you would not be who you are today.
Without our Heavenly Father we would not be here; we would not be saved, forgiven, born again. He’s done for us what no one else can.
Let us give him the highest honor and reverence that he deserves.
I agree with Jesus! "Everyone should honor the Father.”
Let’s honor our Heavenly Father on this Father’s Day!
But wait today is fathers day what about our earthly fathers?
Glad you asked, lests see what the Bible has to say about this...
Let me ask you;
WHAT MAKES A GOOD DAD?
Turn with me to Luke 15: 11
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
1. The son had a choose.
His father set him free.
He went his own way.
Did what he wanted to do.
2. He journey on his own his alone.
He had his entire savings.
All his inherence he took with him.
Nothing left at home to come back too.
He wasted it on wild living now he had nothing.
He joined with a family.
He was eating with the hogs.
3. His circumstances bring a need for his father.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
He life was shedder he need help.
I know what I will do.
I will get up go home confess my sin against heaven and before you.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
4. Men feel this about Jesus.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
5. Look what Jesus did for he died for us.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Jesus went to Heaven set at the right hand of the father.
He did this for us all if we except him.
He is making a feast for us when comes again.
Men and ladies the for the wedding
6. He wiped the slate clean
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Matthew22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Dad we need to set example for our children.
7. The accuser can not waiver God love.
God is to strong for him.
He is stronger than life’s troubles.
He holds on to us even when we fail.
His love never fades are fails.
What makes a good Dad & Mom Jesus Christ.
A BLESSED & HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
