Bishop, Houston’s Sunday Morning Word
Praise The Lord Everyone!!! Happy Sunday!!! ✝️❤️😊
I don’t watch many game shows on T. V. But there’s one that I like to watch from time to time. It’s called Let’s Make a Deal. I’m always interested to see the different costumes the contestants are wearing. The participants compete for the chance to choose a door that conceals a prize. Whoever wins, get a chance to decide to open door 1, 2, or 3. If they chose well, they could receive a dream vacation or a shiny new car. But if they make a bad choice, they could end up with a year’s supply of dog food or a broken-down boat. Most of the times the valuable prize they hoped for isn’t behind the door they’ve chosen.
During the early Christian days, Christians survived on specific hope in Christ Jesus. This really touched base with Peter, who was an admirer, supporter and close friend of Jesus. Beloved have you ever been dissociated by a family member(s) or someone that you felt was a close friend when certain situations occur or when they’re around pious – uppity people. Well, I have, and I’m still being ostracized by many especially by those that claim to be in the Christian faith – and to the bewilderment of many I’m not dead and I’m still pressing forward in the name of Jesus. ✝️❤️😊
In Mark 14:66–72 we find after realizing his fiasco by not sanding with Jesus, Peter shifted from the inner circle to the environs. That’s why three days later, the angel told the women at the empty tomb to go “tell his disciples AND Peter” that Jesus was alive (*1). I’m sure Peter was shocked when he heard that not only was Jesus alive, but He too was invited.
Now we can understand why Peter started his letter in 1 Peter 1:3 talking about his living hope in the living Jesus. For Peter, his life transformed that Sunday morning, and it has transformed for you and me, too. Peter desired the Christians in those days and us too, to understand we should praise the Lord because of Jesus’ authority over sin and death.
Beloved, 1 Peter 1:4 tells us that our inheritance in Christ Jesus is “kept in heaven,” and it’s so much more than a game show prize. You can now announce the confirmation that the only thing in the grave that was prepared for you is the neatly folded burial clothing that the despised, placed on you. Declare these words if you have victory this morning “The solemn that was planned for me has no entry point anymore!!! Jesus is my victory!!!”
Beloved, many of us have a reason to give God clear adoration for specific opportunities that have entered into our life. ✝️❤️😊
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for raising Jesus from among the dead. It’s through the death burial and resurrection that I live today. This morning I proclaim boldly and loudly JESUS IS MY VICTORY!!!
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Amen. ✝️❤️
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So, reach out and touch the ones that need your agape, dissolve the divisions among you, continue to encourage one another, be
united in the same mind, the same reasoning and continue to build one another up.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a fantastic Sunday. ✝️❤️😊
