Keys to receive Through a man of God part 2

*Text*

But when the Pharisees heard about the miracle, they said, “No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons.”

*Matthew 12:24 NLT*

As much as we pray to God in search of a thing or a blessing, fasting and going to the mountain - God will answer us through a human being, an earthly vessel.

Many times, we receive from God through his servants - men and women of God.

However, we have some receiving and yet others wait forever without being granted that which they seek.

I will today give you the key you need to engage so you can receive from God through a man or woman of God.

As per our text above we see

*Honour* as the key to engage - honour is the quickest way to receive and get blessed. Whenever you feel detached from the promises of God, just think of the people you have dishonored - you cannot claim to honor God whilst dishonoring the earthly vessels God will use to bless your life.

Honor is the celebrating, recognising, rewarding or holding highly of what you see in the man of God.

You cannot celebrate that which you do not see, so the first key is discernment as we saw in our previous teaching.

*Honor means celebration* - are you able to recognize what your pastor is doing? Are you proud of being connected to him? Can you connect your Pastor to someone in need? Can you publicly like and share his teachings?

The liking, the Amen, the sharing, is simply the celebration of whom you are following and it's called honor - you soon start receiving that which you seek from God through him.

If you want to get blessed by God then don't follow a vessel you are not proud of - it's honoring that vessel that will make make heavens open up for you.

He said to Abraham, I will honor and bless those who bless and honor you.

*Text*

And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you, And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you. And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”

*Genesis 12:3 AMP*

God has released Abraham to everyone seeking a blessing from him but the key to receive is not with the sent Abraham - it's the satisfaction of the covenant between your Abraham and God.

As much as Abraham wants to bless you but if God sees dishonor, the blessing will not be released.

Men of God don't really teach to be worshipped, the true vessel of God will desire to see people get blessed by God through him.

Genuine men of God must teach to be honored and must strive to remain honorable at all times - people honor value and integrity.

The Pharisees did not see genuineness in the miracle of Jesus so they could not celebrate or honor him. Honor opens the door for more blessings.

You receive by honouring, honour shows humbleness to the grace, it's not really idol worship but respect.

There must be a different in the way you communicate with let's say a boyfriend and how you approach a man of God - Honor means formal, it means "good morning", and not "morning"

You honor someone by the way you address.

*Honoring a man of God means recognizing his efforts* for whom your are becoming.

You recognize a man of God by your altitude towards his teachings - how do you respond to his teachings?

- Honor says amen

- Honor honor will stand, clap hands to show in agreement

- Honor holds a pen and a notebook to write points

You receive from God by honoring the earthly vessels - you are honoring them if you treat them highly.

*You honor a man of God by how you reward them*

With what are you rewarding your Pastor for the teachings transforming your life?

*Text*

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?

*1 Corinthians 9:11 NIV*

Giving is a way of honoring both God and the earthly vessel you are supposed to receive through and it's for your own benefit.

Teachings of giving are not meant to rob you but to bless you - true men of God focuses on the benefits of the giver and will create a conducive environment for the giving to be acceptable to God.

A giving that blesses has to be acceptable to God and not to a Church or man of God - what has been received by a man of God does not necessarily mean acceptable to God

We will learn more about giving in the teachings to follow after this.

You must maintain a life style of rewarding your Pastor for the time spent in praying for you, preparing a teaching for you, being away from his own family just to make sure you receive something from God.

Your thanks giving, seed, tithe and any kind of offering you give to God through him Means honor and God will bless you for meeting such a requirement.

*I pray that God will grant you the grace to manifest fully in the giving ministry, in Jesus mighty name!*
