“How You Like Me Now?” 🔥

“They tried to bury me, but didn’t realize I was a seed.”
— Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr. ✝️

🔑 Divine Revelation: Psalm 118:22 (KJV) 📖
“The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.”

💡 Our Philosophical Term For Today: Vindicatio (Latin) 🏛️
Meaning: Vindication—the act of clearing someone of blame, proving truth after injustice. In theology, it points to God’s justice in defending and restoring His chosen, especially after false accusations, humiliation, or betrayal.

🤔 There comes a time in every journey when the applause fades, the loyalty dries up, and the masks of those around us begin to crack. I’ve walked that road—called out of conformity, only to be cast aside like a stranger at the table I once helped prepare. My name became their subject, my silence their misinterpretation, my strength their threat. And yet, each time, God lifted me out of the pit and dressed me in dignity. What they meant to break in me, only revealed what couldn’t be broken. Every dismissal was divine redirection. Every rejection was heaven’s appointment.

🌈 Beloved,
You may have been lied on, excluded, labeled, misunderstood—but hear this: God does not consult their opinions before raising you up. Those who couldn’t handle your boundary now question your breakthrough. But don’t flinch. When God shields you from sabotage, He sets you up for significance. You are not the insult they whispered—you are the testimony that will be shouted. Let their silence echo while your purpose speaks. You don’t owe explanations to those who only heard your name in gossip, but never your cries in prayer.

Walk boldly, beloved—on ground they said you’d never reach. When they see you thriving without their approval, clothed in clarity and crowned with confidence, let this be your declaration: “How you like me now?”

Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:

Heavenly Father 👑
We thank You for every time You lifted us out of the ashes of shame and placed us on solid ground. When others tried to define us through their broken lenses, You reminded us of who we are in You—beloved, chosen, unshaken. Strengthen those today who are still healing from betrayal and rejection. Remind them that their worth is not up for negotiation. Wrap Your arms around the weary and vindicate the faithful. Lord, we trust You to keep building what others tried to break. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Keep standing strong, even when they don’t clap. I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., and I’ve been through the fire—but I didn’t come out smelling like smoke.
