Do you know how to honour God with your substance? It’s never too early to learn some things in life. Why do I say this? Every lesson we have learned from the book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon to his son!

He wrote to us little children, so that when we become adults, it will be easy for us to do things as God’s children.

Let’s see today’s focus verse!

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. —Proverbs 3:9-10(KJV)

All of God’s instructions to us, is accompanied with a reward if we are obedient.

The Bible is teaching us as little children to Honour God, not just with our words, and in our hearts, but also with our substance and the first fruit of our increase!
What does it mean to honour God with our substance?

Our substance is whatever we have. In this age the equivalent of our substance is money.

As children of God, we should learn to honour God with every token given to us by our parents.

It’s not too early to set aside your offerings from what Mummy and Daddy gives you.

When you get a token during the holidays from grandparents, uncles and aunties, learn to set aside what you will use to honour God.

The bible also says you should honour God with the first fruit of your increase.

It’s not too early for you to learn how to give a tenth to God. That’s another way of honouring God!

What does the Bible promise if we do this?

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. —Proverbs 3:10(KJV)

There will be blessings everywhere, for you and your parents, because they gave you what you are using to honour God.

Remember Abraham, he wasn’t the only blessed one, the people around him were blessed too because of him. That can be you, and everyone around you can be blessed because of you.

Prayer:
Teach me to honour you at all times oh Lord. Amen

Action point:
Set aside part of what you earn to honour God. Ask your parents to help you.

Declaration:
I choose to honour God.
