“But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.” Mark 6:4
Thank God for missionaries. I believe in them and support many of them. However, if you want to be one, just make sure it is not because you want to receive the honor that you would not get back home.
“Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.” Ps. 71:8
Some Christians may say that this verse is an exaggeration. Who can praise and honor God all day long? If you know a man that is going to be marrying a virgin that he loves, ask him who is on his mind. Ask the family who is going on a great vacation in a few days what their minds are on. Ask young children a few days before Christmas what they are thinking about. You can’t help but to think about and ponder on that which you are excited about.
“And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” Josh. 6:5
We believers can face many Jericho’s in our life, but it doesn’t matter because God will be there for us. Just remember this, the walls of Jericho went down because the people shouted, not complained. Your walls too, will come down with a shout of praise and honor unto the Lord.
