  • “Authorize the Power in Your Life”

    Bishop Houston's Monday Morning Blog Picture Transcend your energy
    Praise the Lord Beloved. I hope you had a blessed weekend.

     
    God has made known to each of us His love and it’s that love that inspires Paul to write the letter of Colossians. Epaphras, a man who worked with Paul, traveled to Colossae to share the message of Christ’s love and to build a church founded in that love. But, somehow both Epaphras and Paul found themselves confined to prison in Rome. Epaphras shared his story. Upon hearing of the love, the Colossian people had for God, Paul was obligated to write to them. Beloved, it’s this letter that we read in scripture today. Just as Paul was inspired by the testimony Epaphras shared, we should be encouraged by the message Paul shares with the Colossian people. This message of love authorizes us to seek the spiritual wisdom Paul prayed over the Colossians and to lead lives worthy of the Lord.

  • “God’s Pace Is Proper”

    Gpd's Pace is proper 1.png
    I can remember my daughter coming to us to inform us that she was getting married. She was an active Christian and she was undoubtedly overjoyed. I wasn’t as jubilant – my “Baby Girl” all grown up, and as a Dad it was very hard for me to release, but I had to look past may emotions. So, I was happy for her. My wife and I did ask her why the rush in tying the knot because they had only been dating for about ten months. She was expecting, and I felt she was feeling pressured because we taught along with our other children the Christian faith, and she also told us that the baby’s daddy expressed his wishes to marry her. She wasn’t in favor of counseling before marriage because he wasn’t a Christian. So, I had to let go and allow her to “run her own race at God’s pace.”

     
    My intention wasn’t to discourage them during a pre marriage counseling I wanted to enlighten them that they were young, and she was brought up in the Christian faith and had done very well. Since my experience with my daughter, I have over-hauled my my approach on many topics when it comes to individual agendas.
     
    Beloved, each one of us has our own race to run. Each race is unique. We can’t run the race of others and they can’t run ours. With God, there’s no late or too soon. Everything with God is on time and in His time!!!
