Command 5 | Part 7

What does it really mean to walk in honor? In this powerful message, Pastor James explores how true honor begins with humility—and how God entrusts authority to those who walk in submission and strength under control.ABOUT THIS SERMONIn this sermon, Pastor James unpacks the biblical relationship between honor and humility. He teaches that honor is not earned by status, but given by God as delegated authority—the right to lead and be obeyed. But there's a condition: honor always follows humility. Far from being weakness, humility is power under control—the posture that opens the door to God's favor. Discover how honoring God, starting in the home and extending to every area of life, positions you to carry His authority with integrity.KEY VERSES John 5:44 Proverbs 15:33 Philippians 2:5-8 1 Samuel 2:30 ABOUT WORD OF GOD MINISTRIESIt is the vision of WOGM to preach Jesus as the manifested Word of God!
