  • “You Have Favor”

    11 25 2019 Psalm 84 11
    Praise The Lord Everyone. Happy Monday to you. 😊

    Well, Thanksgiving is 3 days away, and it’s an awesome day many of us will deeply reflect and thank God for His countless blessings.
     
    Beloved did you know that you’re blessed with “Favor?” If you didn’t, then I want you to know that favor is a part of your inheritance!!! You don’t have to ask God for it. As a follower and believer in Jesus Christ, you’re in covenant with Him. That means that everything He has is yours!!! 😊 That’s right, “EVERYTHING”.
     
    Now, there may be someone out there asking, “Bishop Houston how do I get my portion of favor?” WELL, I’M GLAD YOU ASKED!!! 😊 The way you get your portion of favor or turn it on, is by thanking Him for it. All you have to say, “Father, thank You for Your favor today. Thank You Your favor that’s helped me generate moral thoughts that are helping me to do the right things and be in the right position at the right time. Thank You that Your favor is causing people to want to be nice to me.”
     
    Beloved, you don’t have to pray about something that you already have, all you have to do is receive it and the way to activate it is by thanking Him.
     
    Before I share a message with you each morning and when I speak each week on the radio, I never say, “God, please give me Your favor. Please give me Your anointing.” No, I keep it simple and say, “God, thank You for Your anointing. Thank You for Your favor in my life. Thank You for providing inspiration, resources, conditions, and energy to me.” See, I know that it’s all part of my inheritance. So, I just behave like it’s true.
     
    So today Beloved, turn on His promises by faith. Praise and thank Him for His compassion and for blessing your life. Accept His Word as truth and allow it to become a part of your routine thought process and before you know it your reactions to how you receive life, each day will change because He has already given His favor and blessing to you!!! Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
     
    Let Us Pray:
    “Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your favor and blessing in my life. Thank You for cleansing me and making me new. Your Word says that You will withhold no good thing from me because I walk blamelessly before You by the blood of Jesus. I receive it by faith and thank You for Your goodness, 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 may enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So today, reach out and touch someone you love and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have a GREAT Monday and a wonderful week everyone.

  • “Be Watchful for The Essentials of Others”

    8 16 2019 Bishop Houston's Weekend Words Phil 2 3.png
    Praise the Lord Beloved – Happy Friday!!! 😀

    You know Beloved, self-centered (egotistical) spirits and pride (snobbishness) can lead to indifference and competitions (fights). That’s why the Apostle Paul cautioned and encouraged the Philippians to put the welfare of others above theirs and be self-effacing. You see, self-centered motivations like the desires for money, celebrity status “reputation”, and power “control” can destroy the bond of men and women, brothers and sisters, family, co-workers, and church members. It can lead to detachments, arguments, disagreements and other things which are not fruitful. Every person has their own distinct needs that have to be fulfilled. Some people need to be loved, some people need to be accepted, some people need to be cared, for and some people need to be appreciated. We all have these kinds of needs, but the key to this isn’t to spend our lives trying to selfishly or greedily get them met. Spend your life being considerate when it comes satisfying other people’s needs “according to God’s will” in giving.
    Believe me God will bless you.

    Beloved, as you go into this weekend remember your church, relationships, and families may not be perfect, but when you get a chance sit back and think about how nice it would be if everyone tried to receive, appreciate, care and love others. 😀

    Let US Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for being selfish – narcissistic, in looking for what brings me contentment rather than thinking about how I can serve others more. Help me to see the essentials of others and inspire me to take action and be a blessing to them But also give me a vision and knowledge to see and comprehend those that are deceitful that try to play games for their personal gain.

    In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and Aaamen..

  • “God’s Prearranged Blessing”

    Bishop Houston's Full Purple Shirt God’s Prearranged Blessing.png
    Shalom Aleichem – Happy Sunday!!! 😀

    This morning’s Bible verses greets us with a tremendous blessing prearranged by God. This is His desire for His people. Beloved, He wants to bless us!!! To the Hebrew, this blessing meant having every virtuous thing in every way both corporal and divine. It meant one would be happy knowing he had all he needed. (*1)
     
    Beloved, I want you to get a very clear vision of this beautiful spiritual gift God has agreed to give us.
    “KEEP YOU” means to shield or defend us physically and spiritually. Think about it – what good is being blessed if you don’t have security in place?
     
    “MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU” means to be happy with you, to show you compassion – unconditional love. He’s watching the conditions you’re in – your environment, and He’s listening and waiting very attentively to your prayer. He wants to engage Himself to your state of affairs. “BE GRACIOUS TO YOU” means since attaining knowledge by Christ’ erudition, we understand it’s extremely crucial and essential the we get the grace of God. Beloved, God’s prepared to show us that grace!!! It’s grace that brands the rest of the blessing that makes everything possible.
     
    “TURN HIS FACE TOWARD YOU” means He perceives your need, receives your prayer – He’s very attentive to everything you do. Beloved, are you facing God?
     
    “AND GIVE YOU PEACE”, (shalom) 😀 means to agree with the will of God. It’s to be in synchronization with your created resolution, to have peace with God through the blood of Jesus. The reverse acts of peace are to be in disorder – confusion and conflict within and without. God’s desire for us is peace, and so He sent us the Prince of Peace.
     
    This is the blessing the priests were to speak over the people of God. It’s as good for us today as it was for them 3500 years ago. Man has unquestionably changed this world, but the hearts of men and women have the same need – GOD.
     
    Beloved, let the LORD, Himself, speak this blessing upon you and your family.
    Aleichem Shalom. 😀
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wonderful unconditional love, and sticking by your prearranged agreement. I have learned my life through Christ. Thank You for Your Son. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and Aaamen.
     
    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 be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them,
    BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.
     
    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have an tremendous Sunday Everyone.
    😀
