“C H O F Ministry: “Where Scripture Meets Innovation”🙌🏿

Praise the Lord, valiant warriors of faith! As we stand on the threshold of divine victory, may your spirits be strengthened for the journey ahead! ✨

“When others write your obituary before your breakthrough, remember that God specializes in resurrection stories.” — Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr. Theological Educator & Spiritual Inspirationalist ✝️

Divine Revelation: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) 📖

Our Philosophical Term For Today: “Proleptic Victory” (προληπτική νίκη) (Greek) 🏛️ Meaning: The spiritual reality of experiencing triumph before its physical manifestation—claiming and celebrating God’s promises as though already fulfilled, even while awaiting their visible manifestation in the natural realm.

Today marks the 17th Anniversary of Christian House of Faith, C H O F and I’m reminded of those early days when skeptics questioned our sustainability. I recall one particular meeting where potential supporters examined our vision for community transformation and concluded, “This ministry won’t last two years.” Their assessment was based on visible metrics—limited finances, modest facilities, and a small congregation. Yet here we stand, 17 years later, because we understood that faith operates in proleptic victory—celebrating the finish line while still running the race. 🤔

Beloved, being “counted out before the finish line” is a spiritual rite of passage, not a declaration of defeat! Joseph was counted out by his brothers, yet became Egypt’s salvation. David was overlooked by his father, yet became Israel’s greatest king. Esther was an orphaned exile, yet became the queen who saved her people. Your current dismissal is merely the divine setup for your eventual display! Those who count you out have failed to factor in the supernatural component of divine intervention. When human calculation says “impossible,” heaven’s mathematics declares “accomplished!” Today, stand firm in proleptic victory—speak of your breakthrough as though it has already manifested, walk in the authority of promises yet unseen, and celebrate the finish line even while navigating obstacles. For the God who established this ministry despite overwhelming odds stands ready to vindicate your faith-filled perseverance! 🌈

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

Heavenly Father, 👑 we approach Your throne with hearts overflowing with gratitude for 17 years of ministry preservation and expansion. When resources seemed insufficient, You provided abundantly. When critics predicted our demise, You established our testimony. Today, we lift every believer facing premature dismissal—the entrepreneur battling rejection, the minister navigating resource limitations, the parent awaiting prodigal reconciliation. Transform their perception to see obstacles not as evidence of abandonment but as opportunities for advancement. Like Joseph in Potiphar’s house and Pharaoh’s prison, empower them to maintain excellence even when unrecognized by human systems. We declare that no weapon formed against Your purpose shall prosper, and every voice pronouncing “impossible” shall be silenced by the evidence of Your sovereign intervention! As we commemorate this anniversary milestone, we prophetically declare that greater manifestations of Your power await in seasons ahead. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Run your race with divine determination, I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., Theological Educator & Spiritual Inspirationalist, reminding you that Heaven’s declaration of your destiny supersedes Earth’s dismissal of your potential!
