“Principles of Honor”

I Samuel 2:30 I Samuel 9:6-8 II Kings 4:8-17 Matthew 26:6-13 Romans 13:7

• Elders should be counted worthy of double honor

• Our attitude determines how we honor – Our future is determined by who we honor

• Our blessings, healing, and deliverance is connected to our Man of God

• Our success or failure is determined by who we honor or dishonor

• The enemy will try to separate us through jealously, envy, or contempt

• Our Man of God, has committed his life for us

• We must fight the spirit of familiarity

• Let’s not be so familiar with the Man of God that we rob ourselves of the blessings that God wants to give us through our Man of God

• It is easy to respect Pastor Goudeaux – He is a great man - He is consistent - A man of integrity and honor

• Respect does not cost you anything

• When we honor someone – It puts things on another level

• Honor is an action – Respect is an attitude

• When you move to the level of honor – You put your actions where your words are

• We often honor presidents, legislators, senators, and judges – But we are sometimes challenged with honoring our Man of God

• What is of real value – Is it material things or spiritual things?

• If we can recognize the material world – Why do we struggle recognizing the spiritual gifts

• It’s about recognizing a gift from God – It’s about a spirit filled man and spiritual things

• God said that if we honor Him – He will honor us – We honor God by honoring His gift

• Honor means: Esteem that is due – To show respect

• There will be opportunity to honor – But it will never come without being challenged

• Satan does not want us to recognized and bless our Man of God

• As we honor our Man of God – God honors us and then He blesses us

• Your special gift will not go without honor – We all have something in which we can honor our Man of God with

• As members of the Body of Christ at Calvary Christian Center – We need to be more sensitive to the gift, Pastor Goudeaux, that God has given us

• It is all about your perception – How do you perceive Pastor?

• Do you perceive him as a Man of God – As a gift from God - Placed here to minister to us?

• God will bless you according to your perception of your Man of God

• Attributes of our Pastor

• P – passionate

• A – accessible

• S – servant

• T – trustworthy

• O – outstanding

• R – responsible

• That is our pastor – He is worthy of honor
