*10 ways to Honour Your Pastor* Your pastor is a gift from God, called to feed, guide, and watch over your soul. Honouring your pastor isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s a biblical principle that brings blessing into your life and strengthens the church. Here are 10 ways you can show honour and appreciation: (1) Pray for Them Regularly Cover your pastor and their family in prayer. Ask God to strengthen them, protect them, and give them fresh vision. (2) Speak Well of Them Guard your words. Refuse to join gossip or criticism. Instead, build them up with your speech—both publicly and privately. (3) Support Their Vision Get involved in the work God has laid on their heart. Serve faithfully and help carry the load. (4) Give Generously Sow into their lives and the ministry financially. Honour often requires sacrifice. (5) Celebrate Milestones Remember their birthday, anniversary, or special achievements. A simple gesture can mean so much. (6) Be Teachable Receive the Word with humility. Apply their teachings to your life and show you value the spiritual nourishment you’re receiving. (7) Protect Their Time Respect their need for rest and family time. Avoid unnecessary demands outside appropriate times. (8) Encourage Them Send a message, write a note, or simply say, “Thank you for all you do.” Encouragement fuels their passion. (9) Defend Their Integrity Stand up for your pastor when others speak negatively. Be a shield, not a dagger. (10) Live Out What You’ve Learned The greatest honour you can give is to grow spiritually and live in a way that glorifies God. “Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.” (1Thessalonians 5:12–13) When you honour your pastor, you honour God who called and sent them. Let’s be intentional in showing appreciation to men of God 🙏.
