  • “Who Are You Hanging With?”

    4 10 2020 Bishop Houston's Weekend WordsProverbs 13 20
    Beloved, it’s not just vital how we devote our time, but who we devote our time with. The only thing that’s preventing some people from a different fresh, elevated level to their destiny is incorrect friendships. You may have to cut off (disconnect) some relationships that aren’t increasing or improving value to your life. Don’t be around people who aren’t keeping it 100, always throwing you under the bus, aren’t going anywhere, who have no ambitions or visions, who compromise and take the easy way out.

    Beloved, if you allow mediocrity, “it will” enter you like
    COVID-19 and will psychologically meticulously clean you out. If you hang out with envious, critical, angry people, you’ll end up vindictive, vicious, and angry. You won’t be the person God created you to be hanging out with them.
     
    So, as we end another week and prepare to enter the weekend, take a good hard look at your list of friends!!! If your friends are winners, leaders, contributors, supporters, and productive, if they have integrity, a spirit of quality, distinction, is optimistic, confident, and motivated, those good qualities are what you want to hang out with. Invest your time with them. They’re going to make you better. Amen? Aaamen.
    ✝️❤️😊
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the connections and friends in my life who refine me, motivate me, promote me, and boost me forward. Help me to know if there are connections that I need to disconnect and friendships that I need to be cautious of or cut off. I want to hang out with the proper – decent people. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen.” ✝️❤️
     
    Have a lovely Friday and a Guarded and Prudent Weekend, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊

  • “Use Your Spiritual USB Connection”

    3 9 2020 Colossians 3 15 17
    Praise The Lord Everyone!!! Happy Monday to you!!! ✝️❤️😊
    You know, in our society today, we live in a world that plugging in or connecting is very important. I was at the airport last week, and I saw people standing in line at the charging station to get their mobile devices charged or recharged. Everyone had a cord connected to their USB port, ready to plug into an electrical outlet.

    Beloved, three essential passions are dominant that control my soul: evangelism, the exploration of the Bible, and the assessment of the Word of God. I’m convinced that God utilizes the Scripture to recharge lives.

    This morning’s section from the apostle, Paul’s letter in Colossians chapter 3 to the believers in Colossae is one of my favorites. These verses follow Paul’s spiritual philosophies that we’ve been made alive in Christ. Here we find Paul explaining the impressive distinction. In verse 15, Paul uses essential “obligated” words when he says: “the peace.” What Paul is saying here is he wants Christians to have harmony (reconciliation, tranquility) with themselves and with each other. In verse 16, Paul utilizes essential “obligated” words again when he recommends the message of Christ, or the Word of Christ, when he says, “has its home within you.” Here Paul’s telling us the Word should be deeply rooted in us.

    Beloved, the words, PEACE, and HAVE ITS HOME WITHIN YOU, implies vital actions on our part.

    We must get spiritually plugged in!!!

    Paul recommends Christian supporters to live a life saturated in Scripture. Colossians 3:16, in particular, encourages believers to allow God’s Word to live (make a home) in their hearts and lives in a deep-rooted (imperative) and profound way. Bible research, education, interpreting Scripture, and moral music are valuable to your spiritual wisdom and experiences. Too often, we read God’s Word or hear a sermon preached and quickly turn our mind to other things. Instead, we’re encouraged to let the message of Christ absorb us, to live and deeply populate in us until it saturates everything we do. Verse 17 (AMP) says: “Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

    Beloved, there’s no long waiting line to get connected or reconnected to God. It’s vital to connect the cord coming from your spiritual USB port into a Bible-based outlet or Spiritual Charging Station until you’re Biblically charged or recharged.
    If you don’t, your spiritual battery will die. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the port that allows us to be connected to You when our life’s battery is drained or weak. It’s a blessing to have a real source with unlimited power. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen, and Aaamen. ✝️❤️

    Have a Happy Monday, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊

  • “Faster Than You Think”

    weekend words faster than you think

    Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀 Happy Friday to you all. 😀

    Beloved, do you realize that as a believer in Jesus, you have a tremendous advantage in life? 😀 The Creator of the universe isn’t only fighting your battles, but He’s lining up the right people, the right breaks, and the right opportunities to move you forward. You may be facing a situation right now that looks like it’s never going to turn around, but I believe that you’re going to see some remarkable changes quicker than you think. You’re going to come out of debt faster than you think. You’re going to achieve your goals much faster than you think. That connection is going to be reestablished faster than you think!!!

    Beloved remember, God “is not” slow in keeping His promise. I believe we’ve entered into a time where we’re going to see the hand of God move like never before. He’s going to open up doors that no man can shut. He’s going to turn terrible state of affairs around and take you places that you never imagined.
    So, as you enter into this weekend and as you go through the weekend, I want you all to be aware that it’s time to get ready for more of God’s favor because that breakthrough is going to happen faster than you think!!!

    Have a blessed Weekend Everybody!!! 😀
