Honor is not just something we say. It is something we carry. It shows up in how we speak, how we listen, how we respond, and how we treat the people God has placed in our lives.
In Conflict Resolution 3 | Honor & Order 2, Bishop Omar Thibeaux continues teaching from Jasher 32:1-15, where Jacob prepares to meet Esau. Jacob does not approach the conflict with pride or arrogance. He approaches with humility, wisdom, and honor. Even though there was history between him and Esau, Jacob chose a posture that could help bring peace instead of making the conflict worse.
Honor Is Bigger Than One Relationship
Bishop reminds us that honor touches every area of life. It belongs in our relationship with God, our parents, our spouses, our homes, our jobs, our churches, and every place where authority and responsibility exist. Honor means treating people as valuable, not disposable.
That is why this message goes deeper than conflict resolution. It deals with the spirits and mindsets that attack honor. Dishonor does not always begin loudly. Sometimes it begins with familiarity. Someone becomes too common in our eyes, and before long, respect begins to leave the relationship. Bishop warns that familiarity can cause people to overlook the calling, gifting, and position God has placed on someone’s life.
The Spirits That Fight Against Order
Throughout the message, Bishop teaches on several spirits and mindsets that work against honor. The Vashti spirit shows up through dishonor and public disrespect. The Jezebel spirit adds control and manipulation. The Athaliah spirit seeks illegitimate control and suppresses the next generation. The Ahab spirit abdicates authority and refuses to lead. The Jotham spirit may have private devotion, but fails to lead others spiritually.
This is where the message becomes deeply personal. Bishop challenges parents not to let children run the home. He challenges husbands and leaders not to abandon their God-given responsibility. He challenges believers not to be satisfied with being privately right with God while leaving everyone under their influence spiritually uncovered.
Bringing Honor Back Home
One of the strongest calls in this message is the call to bring honor back to the house. Not just in word, but in spirit. Not just in church, but at home. Bishop closes with a charge that the people of God would no longer be dishonorable, but would respect one another and restore honor back to the house of Abraham, the tribe of Judah, and the people of God.
This sermon is a call to examine what has been operating in our homes, relationships, leadership, and hearts. It is a reminder that conflict cannot be resolved properly without honor. And honor cannot be restored unless we are willing to confront the spirits and mindsets that have been working against God’s order.
When honor returns, order returns. When order returns, families are strengthened, leaders are restored, and the house is covered again.
