Summary:



Honor is expressed when reverence and respect are demonstrated. When we honor God, He honors us. His honor connects us to His blessings instead of
curses. However, to receive honor from Him, we must hear His voice and
obey. Honoring God with our money is the ultimate way to show respect,
and demonstrates our complete trust in Him as our Source.

        3. Do not honor people more than you honor God.

      3. Saying you honor God without giving your capital is not real honor.
      4. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:21).

      2. Remember, God said His people will be satisfied.
