This powerful message invites us to examine a culture-shifting principle that could unlock blessings we've been missing: the principle of honor. Drawing from Matthew 13:53-58, we encounter Jesus in his hometown where he could perform few miracles—not because he lacked power, but because the people dishonored him. They saw only the carpenter's son, not the Son of God standing before them. This reveals a sobering truth: dishonor stops the flow of God's miraculous work in our lives. We live in a culture where honor has become rare—children dishonor parents, employees dishonor employers, and even within the church, we can fall into patterns of gossip, complaint, and disrespect toward those God has placed in authority. The message challenges us to recognize that honor isn't about the person receiving it—it's about our obedience to God's command and our willingness to value others above ourselves. When we honor others, we honor God himself. The accounts of Miriam and Aaron's dishonor of Moses, and Ham's dishonor of Noah, demonstrate that God takes this seriously enough to intervene with consequences. Yet the beautiful promise remains: honor unlocks reward. When we esteem others, value their contributions, and show genuine respect—especially to those serving in God's house—we create a culture where blessing flows freely and miracles can happen.
