When the Lord wants to bless you, He sends a person. In this Kingdom, doors are people.
The grace God used to bring you into a mysterious season of your life isn't abstract; He used a person. Familiarity is one of the greatest enemies to your elevation because it blinds you to the value of the doors right in front of you.
When you begin to dishonour people, you are effectively shutting the source of your breakthrough for that season.
Apostle Stephanie Ike Okafor taught that the enemy is more deceitful than he is powerful. What he cannot do to you directly, he tries to get you to do to yourself through the back door of dishonour.
Familiarity causes you to see the "person" but miss the "portal." Honour is the value you put on what matters to God. It is a posture of the heart that recognises that resources, advancement, and kingdom resources come through the people God connects to you.
A common misconception is that honouring someone means you condone their mistakes or agree with every action.
❕️Honour is a posture, not an endorsement.
❕️Even when you disagree, you must guard your heart and tongue.
❕️If you speak against the graces God has placed over you, those very graces are shut against you.
One of the greatest tests of honour is what you do when someone in authority errs.
"Whoever you intercede for, you will not curse with your mouth."
True followers of Jesus intercede for those who err before they speak. If you don't have the facts or a direct revelation, your safest and most honourable path is silence and prayer.
It is your spiritual duty to ask the Holy Spirit:
1️⃣ "Who are the people you have put in my life?"
2️⃣ "Who are the people connected to my next season?"
Bad stewardship of relationships is something God does not take lightly. Your obedience in this area advances the Kingdom of God, while rebellion - expressed through dishonour - advances the kingdom of darkness.
Dishonour will shut doors that no natural man can open. Approach your relationships with humility and an observant heart. Guard your speech, stay honourable, and ensure that you aren't the one sabotaging your own breakthrough.
