Mercy and Grace
Praise The Lord Everyone!!! Happy Monday to you. ✝️❤️😊The Bible says in Exodus 34:6 (AMP) that the Lord God is *“compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth (faithfulness).”Not long ago, I was asked, what’s the difference between God’s mercy and His grace? Beloved, mercy is God not disciplining or imprisoning us as our sins deserve, and grace is God blessing us although we don’t deserve it. In other words, MERCY is being released, freed, or liberated from a verdict, opinion, conviction, or decision, and GRACE is increasing, providing, or expanding compassion, sympathy, or helpfulness to the shameful, dishonorable or undeserving.God incessantly gives us these collaborative blessings even though we may not be justified to receive them. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) says, *8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. *9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.” God’s mercy directs us toward clemency, in other words, compassion or leniency, while His grace directs us toward understanding, compromising, or a resolution.Beloved, it doesn’t matter what we’ve done in our past; God is prepared and eager to award us mercy and grace. Now two stipulations are required to receive these gifts of mercy and grace, 1. we must humble ourselves and acknowledge to God that we’ve lived incorrectly and 2. We need Him. When we admit that we’re sinners, we’ll comprehend and accept God’s love for us as exhibited through His ultimate gift— Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊Let Us Pray:*Dear Heavenly Father, once again, I thank You for Your grace and mercy. Many people gave up on me, many have turned their backs on me, and some have even said my credibility wasn’t any good. Thank You, God, for being kind and compassionate. Thank You for liberating me from the wrong path I chose, all people places, and influences that played god in my past experiences in life. Thank You, God, for the people that prayed for me and those that never gave up on me. Our ways and thoughts are far different from Yours, and our godless vision is temporal. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen, and Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊Let us all remember to wash our hands and continue to stay in compliance with social distancing.I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a Splendid Monday and an Efficient Week, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊CHOF Ministry Bible References: N/ACiting:*https://www.bible.com/bible/1588/EXO.34.6.AMP*https://anchor.fm/spiritlifechurch/episodes/Waiting-on-the-Lord-e8uu37*”loading Our Best Resources In Heaven”Bishop- Bishop- Christian House of Faith/ Bishop – https://togod-betheglory.org/2019/07/07/loading-our-best-resources-in-heaven/ -
“Unconditional Love, Compassion and Redirection”
Praise the Lord!!! Happy Tuesday Everyone. 😀Beloved, some Christians feel vindicated when they condemn others for their behavior based on how long they’ve been saved or how “good” they’ve been. If Jesus, who’s our example, and the “ONLY” perfect person “NEVER” condemn others, what makes some of us think we can condemn others?You see, condemnation is an act that leaves a person sensitive, perplexed, embarrassed, feeling guilty or humiliated. Jesus had a justifiable reason to condemn this woman caught in adultery. Instead of condemning her, He demonstrated grace (unconditional love) and mercy (compassion – kindness) towards her. At the same time, He didn’t excuse her sin, but what He did do was redirected her by saying “sin no more.”Mixing grace (unconditional love), mercy (compassion – kindness), and redirection lovingly adjust unrighteous behavior. These are the essential tools a person needs when they know they’ve done wrong.Beloved, the next time someone has missed the mark, don’t condemn them. Show grace (unconditional love), mercy (compassion – kindness), and redirection towards them. Amen? Aaamen. 😀Let Us Pray:Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Unconditional Love, Compassion and Redirection. In Jesus’ name, I pray, 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 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 enjoyable Tuesday. 😀 Let Us Pray:

“God’s Prearranged Blessing”
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.😀CHOF Ministry’s Cross Reference Scriptures*1.

“It’s Time to Get Off The Sideline”
Well, it’s Friday once again let us all thank God for this day.
Beloved, are you sitting around moping and seeking damage control because of a mistake you made, or constantly reminding yourself of a failed opportunity and you’re now convinced that God won’t have anything to do with you right now?Well, it’s time to cast off that heavy load of counterfeit feelings. Beloved, you and I serve a God that’s filled with compassion and grace!!! It’s time to get off the sideline and back into the game because God wants to use your service. While He’s using you, He’ll also allow you to accomplish your dream(s).
So, stop moping and start feeling good about yourself!!! 😀 God is looking down the sideline and calling your name, He’s saying: “The time is now!!! Show them you’re not washed up!!! Get in there and show them what you’re working with!!!
Beloved, you don’t have to live guilty and condemned anymore. So, this weekend let everyone know that the price has been paid for your sins and you’re now on the Lord’s side and you’re moving forward with confidence no matter what anyone says or thinks.
Beloved, the mistake or failed opportunity “IS NOT” your destiny.
Have a blessed weekend and a joyful
Super Bowl Sunday Everyone.
