Good Morning and Happy Monday to each of you.

Wisdom Whispers
“Purpose is not what you do; it’s who you become while doing it.”
— Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr.

C H O F Ministry Theme Scripture For Today: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His prothesis (purpose).” – (Romans 8:28, NKJV)

📖 Today’s Greek Word Study: Prothesis (πρόθεσις)

• Meaning: A deliberate plan, a setting forth (from protithēmi, “to place before”).

• Beloved, God’s purpose (prothesis) isn’t reactive—it’s premeditated grace. Your trials aren’t interruptions; they’re ingredients in His eternal recipe.

📖Today’s Hebrew Parallel: Ya‘ats (יָעַץ)
• Meaning: To counsel, devise (Jeremiah 29:11).
• Beloved, purpose is crafted in divine counsel, not human logic. Joseph’s pit was part of Pharaoh’s palace blueprint.

🛠️ Let’s Look At This From A Different Perspective.

• For the Entrepreneur: “Your business isn’t just a revenue stream—it’s God’s workshop for your humility, integrity, and generosity.”
• For the Parent: “Changing diapers isn’t mundane; it’s molding you into Christ’s patience and sacrificial love.”

*The Joseph Test

• Ask Yourself: “Is my current struggle developing the character I’ll need for my next assignment?”

*Beloved, Joseph’s prison prepared him for power (Psalm 105:18–19).

Every season of obscurity was a silent classroom, shaping his heart for the weight of destiny. Consider—what felt like confinement was, in truth, consecration. The shackles that bound his ankles became the instruments that tuned his faith, each day behind closed doors, forging a wisdom that palaces alone could never provide.

Just as the seed dies in darkness before it breaks into the light, your hidden seasons are sacred ground. Heaven’s designs unfold in shadows before they dazzle on center stage. Remember: the famine that drove nations to Egypt was the very stage God set for Joseph’s unveiling. Similarly, your present limitations may serve as the backdrop for a future testimony that will nourish many.

Beloved, let patience have its perfect work. What appears as delay is often divine incubation. Embrace these moments—not as punishment, but as preparation for the promise awaiting you.

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

Heavenly Father, we stand before You as clay in the Potter’s hands. Forgive us for fixating on tasks over transformation. Unshackle us from the idolatry of ‘doing’ and immerse us in the sacred fire of ‘becoming.’ As gold is purified, so refine our hearts until we reflect Your Son’s image. Where we’ve worshipped our assignments, awaken us to adore the Assigner. Let every trial, every delay, every unseen moment be a chisel in Your sovereign hands. We declare: The process is the purpose. Now align our tongues with Your truth, our hearts with Your heartbeat, and our lives with Your prothesis. To God Be The Glory.

Have a Blessed Monday Everyone.🕊️ 🫶🏻 😊
