PRACTISING THE LORDSHIP OF GOD
Hi all,this is from an email that my ex-coach has sent to me a few days ago.
It is written by Pastor Mitchell Tan from his church. Enjoy...
Honoring our elders is something that God wants us to cultivate. It is part of learning to practice the Lordship of God.
1.Respecting our parents “Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father,…I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:3 The Lord commanded all men to respect and honor their parents. They were meant to give the proper reverence and regard that were due to parents.. Let’s make the effort to honor and show respect to our parents.
2. Respecting the older generation “You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:32 God also told Moses that the people should give honor to the older generation. Whenever they see a gray headed person, they should rise from their chair to greet him. They should give proper respect to an old man. Furthermore, how we respect older ones would also affect our regard for the Lord. When we give honor to older ones, it would enhance our fear of the Lord. Many young people today do not know how to show honor to the older generation. Let’s seek to be different. Let’s practice the Lordship of God by respecting our elders.
