“Respectable Reflection”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Friday to you all.Beloved, this morning in my prayer, I asked God to allow me to be a respectable reflection of His love. All of us know that when you reflect something, you are demonstrating its likeness. In other words, you’re exhibiting its characteristics. Like a mirror, the Bible tells us that we should reflect the character and likeness of Jesus. We should have His same attitude.
Now, that may sound like a pretty tall order. After all, Jesus was the Son of God.
But remember Beloved, when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we become sons and daughters of the Most High God, too. We become empowered by the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. That means we have the same spirit of humility, the same strength, the same love, the same power on the inside. We’re empowered to follow His example and do what He did. When Jesus walked the earth, the scripture says He went around doing good and bringing healing to others physically, spiritually and emotionally. Beloved, that’s what we should be doing, too.
Beloved, choose today to invite Him to work in you. Reflect Him in your attitude and actions, bring good to others, and reap an abundant harvest of blessing in every area of your life.

“I’m Headed for an Overflow!!!”
Praise the Lord Beloved
Happy Wednesday to you.Beloved, the Scripture says God will supply our needs “according to His riches.” You know, so often we look at our circumstances and think, “I’ll never get ahead. I’m so far in debt, I’ll never get out.”
And you know, you’re probably right if it’s according to “your” will
(selections, choices or desires).Beloved, God’s blessing is not according to what you have. It’s according to what He has. The good news is that God owns it all. One touch of God’s favor can release you out of barely enough and put you into more than enough. God has ways to increase you outside of your normal income, outside of your salary, outside of what’s expected.
So Beloved, stop telling yourself, “This is all I’ll ever have. I’ll never make it.”
LET GO OF THE PAST
and
CHOOSE TO HAVE ABUNDANCE MENTALLY.Proclaim, “this is not where I’m staying. I’m blessed. I’m prosperous.
I’m headed for an overflow!!!
I’m headed to the land of More Than Enough according to His riches in glory!!!”“To God Be the Glory”
Have a blessed day everyone. -
“You Don’t Have to Put Up with The Frogs”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!You know, when the people of Israel were held in captivity by Pharaoh, God sent different types of plagues to try to persuade him to let them go. One of the plagues was a plague of frogs!!!
Beloved, Pharaoh’s people were so unhappy. So Pharaoh finally told Moses, that they had learned their lesson and the Israelites could now leave. He begged Moses to ask God to take away the frogs.
So Moses told Pharaoh that he would do it. Then Moses asked Pharaoh when did he want the plague of the frogs to stop coming. Now Beloved, you would think Pharaoh would’ve said: “Right now!!!” OH but no!!! Pharaoh said, “Take them away tomorrow.” He was saying, “We can put up with these frogs just one more night.”Beloved, how many times do we do the same thing? “Bishop Houston, I’m going to forgive, but I’m going to do it tomorrow. I’m going to have a better attitude. I’m going to quit worrying…TOMORROW.”
Beloved this sounds like Pharaoh, “I can put up with this addiction, this bad marriage or relationship, this mediocrity one more day.” NO BELOVED!!! Our attitude should be: “I’m not going to spend one more night with the frogs. In other words, I’m not putting up with anything or anyone that are not God’s best!!!”
Beloved, you don’t have to put up with the frogs. So why wait until tomorrow to get rid of what’s plaguing you? Today, make the change. Today, choose to forgive. Today, stop worrying. Today, get out of that bad marriage or relationship!!! Today, get your life back in shape.
Today, take a step of faith.“To God Be the Glory”
Have a blessed Tuesday Everyone. -
First Lady, Donece “Niecy”Houston’s “Christian Concept”
“Is it ok to engage in sexual activity if you are not married?”
The answer is NO!!!!!
Engaging in sexual activity outside of a marriage is known as fornication
The Bible refers to fornication as followed:
1. Fornications
2. Sexual immorality
3. Immorality
4. Whoredom
5. Sexual vice
6. Unchastity
7. Sexual sins
So what does the bible tell us about fornication? It tells us in:
1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:18 (The Holman Bible)
Flee from sexual immorality! “Every sin a person can commit is outside the body; but the person who is sexually immoral, sins against his own body.
So in essence it is not ok to engage in sexual activity if you are not married. The Bible verses above interpret your sexual immoral actions as sins that are committed against your own body. So don’t fool yourself, this sin is personal. You are depreciating or belittling your own body.
Your body is sacred. It does not belong to you. Your body serves as a resting place for the Holy Spirit who dwells inside of you.
1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
Sexual activity was designed to be shared between a husband and his wife. It was not designed to be a casual and consensual activity shared between two unmarried people. It was designed to be a special bond for a husband and his wife to share together once they have tied the knot and committed their lives to each other.
Have a blessed day! -
“Establish Your Own Boundaries”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy new month to you.
You know beloved, there will always be critics and naysayers in life. It’s not what’s said about you that affects your life, but what you say and believe about yourself. Beloved, allow me to ask you a question: have the opinions of other people caused you to water down your dreams? You know, one of the most important things you can learn is that other people don’t have to believe in you in order for your dreams to come to pass.
THAT’S RIGHT!!!
Other people don’t establish the boundaries for your life,
“YOU DO!!!”
In Romans 3:3, the Apostle Paul is saying, “It doesn’t matter if other people don’t believe. Their unbelief is not going to keep me from believing in my dreams.” When God puts a promise in your heart, it’s not up to other people to bring it to pass, it’s up to you!!! You don’t need everyone to authorize you. You have to follow the voice of God for yourself and allow Him to order your steps.
Beloved, God sees the hidden treasures that you’ve had buried on the inside of you. He wants to bring those treasures out and make your dreams a reality!!! So, as you get rid of old, defeated thoughts and replace them with what God says about you, you will remove the boundaries and live the abundant life God has in store for you!!!
“To God Be the Glory”
Have a blessed Monday.
