Honor the Father Part 5

Devo Honor the Father Part 5
Malachi 2:10-16 (NIV)
10 Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?  11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove him from the tents of Jacob—even though he brings an offering to the Lord Almighty.  13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. 14 You ask, “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.  15 Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.  16 “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect, says the Lord Almighty.  So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.
2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV)  14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Another way we dishonor God is by marrying a person with whom we are unequally yoked with.  One who is not of the same faith as us.  We have nothing in common and it will end in disaster for us and our offspring.  God also says He will remove you from the body and not accept your offerings.  A very serious matter.  It dishonors God because our children won’t honor Him.  You’re unequally yoked so how can you pull in the same direction? Save yourself the grief and your children and read the Word and do what it says.  God hates divorce and likens it to violence.  God calls it unfaithfulness.  It dishonors Him because we live a lie.  We made a covenant with God and broke it.  He will not accept our offerings or hear our prayers unless we repent.  Notice it is the man God holds accountable the most.

Honor the Father Part 4

Devo Honor the Father Part four
Malachi 2:7-9 (NIV)
7 “For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth. 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. 9 “So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”
James 3:1 (NIV)
3 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

I find a lot of people wanting to be teachers or preachers.  They never seem to count the costs.  We are judged more strictly for we are watchmen and therefore responsible for those we teach.  The priests were no longer careful in what they taught.  They no longer taught the truth about God, therefor dishonoring Him.  They told people what their itching ears wanted to hear, when it didn’t work out the hearers turned their back on God.  They stumbled over the lies and lack of the whole scripture.  God judged the priest for it.  Ezekiel says the people were responsible also.  God dishonored them and judged and cursed them for their folly.

Devo Honor the Father Part three
Malachi 2:1-2 (NIV)
2 “And now, you priests, this warning is for you. 2 If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.
God told the priests if they did not listen to Him and honor He would curse them.  Honoring God brings blessing, but dishonor or no honor for Him will bring a curse.  You simply can’t be passive.

Honor the Father Part 2

Devo Honor the Father Part two
Malachi 1:6-14 (NIV)
6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty.
“It is you priests who show contempt for my name.
“But you ask, ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’
7 “By offering defiled food on my altar.
“But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’
“By saying that the Lord’s table is contemptible. 8 When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord Almighty.
9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?”—says the Lord Almighty.
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept no offering from your hands. 11 My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’ and you sniff at it contemptuously,” says the Lord Almighty.
“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands?” says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the Lord Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations.

The Jews stopped bringing God their best.  They showed their lack of faith in God and disbelief.  They no longer honor God with their best, because it became a religion, ritual, no more than a social obligation.  They no longer knew God.  God said why bother.  It is useless for you to bother at all.  With God it is a all or nothing relationship.  He wants your best and no less.  He wants your heart and all of it.  Anything less than our best is contemptable to Him.  Honor God with the best of yourself and all you have and He will bless you.

Devo Honor the Father
Malachi 1:6 (NIV)
6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty.
“It is you priests who show contempt for my name.
“But you ask, ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’
Ephesians 6:2-3 (NIV)
2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

I try to remind people every program I do on TV to honor their parents.  If we honor our parents we will honor God.  I believe many people have a difficult life simply because they don’t honor their parents, God or anyone else.  Discipline starts in the home.  We live in a time where people have stopped showing respect.  Teach a child to respect his parents and that child will respect God, law, government, and each other.
