Live A life of Honour
1 samuel 9:6
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a
man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to
pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should
go.
Let us look at some ways through which Samuel
enjoyed national influence and honour.
He separated himself from all compromise: Refuse to be counted among those who compromise their
faith. Eli’s sons where living in sin and compromise but Samuel chose to live
holy for God. Separation from iniquity will ultimately attract prosperity and
promotion.
He served and obeyed the call of God: The call of God and services to God will bring you
promotion- “If they obey and serve him,
they shall spend their days in prosperity…..” (Job 36:11). When you serve God’s house, God services your life.
The way to lasting and meaningful
honour is service. Until you see what you can do to make God’s house better,
God will not make your life better.
He was sold out to a life of impact: A life of convenience holds no value to destiny.
Honourable men don’t settle for a life of convenience; they serve others
sacrificially.
Samuel was strong in the word and power of God: He had depth of character and spirituality. Don’t settle
for carnality and mediocrity. Shallowness in the things of God leads to
instability and frustration. Until Peter launched into the deep, his boat
remained empty.
Prayer : Lord, I surrender completely and totally to you.
Deliver me from compromise and instability.
Father deliver me from compromise and instability in Jesus... Amen !!! Whats your prayer
