John 12:26. Christian stewardship at its essence is being a diligent follower of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In John 12:26 Jesus says, “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour”.
The Purpose of Tithes and Offerings: To Support Ministers of the Gospel

How to Become a Wise Person: Fear and Reverence the Lord

Dishonoring Your Father's Authority, Makes You Your Father's Enemy
Micah 7:6. The Bible tells us that if we dishonor our father's authority, we are our father's enemy. When a father is dishonored it is a sign that the family is far from God. Instead of a strong family that honors and encourages each other, a family that dishonors each other ends up being enemies of each other.
Sanctification – Seek God's Honor
2 Timothy 2:20. To be sanctified, we must have a desire to be sanctified and set aside for God's use. We must have a desire in our heart to be honored by God. God loves us all, but He does not honor us all. 2 Timothy 2:20 says, “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.”
