All Honour.

"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." Rev 5:11-12.
A Fair Deal.
God is a Spirit (John 4:24). Before the creation of all things, He is a Spirit, and still is.
When God decided to create Heaven and Earth, He brought into existence visible/tangible and invisible/intangible things. He created and formed man with a "body". And He made plan for a body( Jesus) for Himself also. (Note: I didn't say He created Jesus). The news of His coming to save and dwell with us in bodily form, has never ceased to be a wonder.The angels of God and men can't even imagine what The Almighty God will look like. For ages we have been saying to ourselves: "You really don't mean it". "Is it possible?". "Oh,what a joy it will be to behold our Creator in Person!"; "How wonderful and glorious it will be to look into His eyes, to touch Him, kiss Him, hold Him,and hear Him speak!". 
Now God Himself has come, and we still can't even "understand" even His humility - for He was born in a manger!? And so we are saying, "It can't be God. It's a joke. God hasn't come yet". And we are still waiting for His first coming. Every one that have heard about Jesus today, take Him for a just and extraordinary Man and not the long awaited God. Man for ages past have been having great difficulty in articulating this - that God Who made a Body for Himself was and is in Christ Jesus!
When you read the book of the revelation of Christ Himself, don't you wonder why the whole of heaven worship Him(Christ/Lamb)? Now let us compare what God and the Lamb both received in worship.
........
God - Blessing, Glory, Wisdom, Thanksgiving, Honour, Power, Might ( Rev 7:12).
The Lamb - Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory, Blessing ( Rev 5:12).
God/The Lamb - Blessing, Honour, Glory, Power  ( Rev 5:13). 
The LORD our God - Salvation, Glory, Honour, Power ( Rev 19:1).
........
We can see that God and The Lamb equally received same in worship. They are both worshipped as one God.
So how much honour should Christ Jesus receive?
Except you just don't want to agree with the scriptures, we shouldn't withhold any from the Lamb. He is worthy to receive all of worship.  
Exodus 20:3-5 says: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:..."  then we should ask ourselves this question; "why are the host of heaven worshipping the Lamb that was slain? Is this Lamb/Christ Jesus our same God? This is exactly what the scriptures is saying about The only begotten of The Father.
 Who's spirit is in you
Do you honour Christ without restrictions? Or do you fight against those that call Him God in flesh? Are you running past Christ to get to God? This same Christ is the only way to The Father God. I know this is mind-blowing,but search the scriptures yourself and see if Christ is worthy to receive all in our worship of God. So let us give all honour to Whom its due.  
We only have one God, Who is Jesus Christ in the flesh. Can you testify that this is true? Let us read other scriptures,
  1. 1Jn_2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
  2. 1Jn_2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
  3. 1Jn_4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
  4. 2Jn_1:7  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
The Spirit that was in Jesus is the Spirit of Christ, which is the Holy Spirit of God, the Father( 1Jn 2:22). To therefore say that "Jesus is the Christ" is to say that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh(1Jn 4:3). For if you're not able to confess this, then you have the deceiving antichrist spirit in you. This is a very sure way of testing which spirit is in a person or "church". They will react to this testimony of Christ, bringing Him to man's level and never God's level.
