The Honour Principle: A Surprise for Their 43rd Anniversary
Dr RJ Sing, 26 February 2023, 3 min
Originally preached as “Their 43rd Anniversary Honour, 26 February 2023”
Sermon outline
The church surprises Dr RJ and Pastor Zubeda Sing, the apostles of the house, with an honour for their 43rd wedding anniversary, and the senior pastor teaches that honour opens the way for God's blessing; Dr Sing answers with a brief thank you.
Opening
The clip opens as the senior pastor calls the church to its feet to honour 'our Apostle of the House, Apostles of the House', and urges them to do better than that.
Caught by surprise
The honour was kept secret. The senior pastor says that Dr Sing has just told him he was caught by surprise: nobody knew, and only two people knew until that morning.
The honour principle
The senior pastor teaches that if we want good success in life, the honour principle and the sowing principle are very important. He apologises that the family had turned down people's offers on their birthdays because they knew people were struggling, saying that by saying no they blocked the blessing. No money will be raised, but anyone whose heart leads them to do something should go ahead without asking permission, because honour draws blessing and favour.
Thank you, Pastor
Dr Sing replies in a few words, thanking the church and the pastor. The senior pastor says the couple are still in shock because nobody said anything beforehand.
“Love all of you. God bless you. Thank you, Pastor, thank you.”
Putting it into practice
- Honour those God has set over you.
- When your heart leads you to bless someone, do it without waiting for permission.
Closing
The senior pastor seats the church and hands over to Minister Tommy to bring the word, with the announcements at the end.
In his words
- “Love all of you. God bless you. Thank you, Pastor, thank you.”
