  • “The Genuine Heart of Christmas”

  • “Blessed-Small or Large”

    12 23 2019 1 Thessalonians 5 18 Blessed
    Happy Holidays!!! 😊
    We’ve all be given many blessings in life. Some of them are little, like going to a store to purchase an item and finding out it’s on sale, and some of them are huge, like getting hired for a job after losing yours and getting a raise before you even start.

    But there are also many privations that can come our way, both small and big. There should be no question that God is really in the small and large blessings in our lives!!! If we step back for a minute, we’ll see that His timing is so perfect. Sure, there are moments I look at those who are experiencing pain, hurt, difficulties and ponder how God could care about the very little things in my life and not relieve the heaviness or major issues in other’s life. Well, I don’t have an ideal answer for you this morning, but this is my conclusion: “I give thanks to God in the little and I give thanks to God in the big and only He knows how, what, and when, and where to apply His blessings in the life of others.” James 1:17 says, “Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift is from above.” Amen? Aaamen.

    ✝️❤️😊

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You, Lord, for Your many blessings, small and big!!! Thank You for helping us in the good times and getting us through the difficult and challenging times!!! 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 will enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So, reach out and touch the ones that need your agape, dissolve the divisions among you, continue to encourage one another, be united in the same mind, the same reasoning and continue to build one another up.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have an awesome Monday and a spectacular Holiday week. ✝️❤️😊

  • “God Gives Us a Future with Hope”

    God Gives Us a Future with Hope

    CHOF Ministry’s Expression for Today

    Jeremiah 29:11 – For surely, I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.

    There was a career woman who was at a crossroad. Her career was going great but there was something bothering her heart. She felt that the Lord was leading her toward another career path. Reverence started to come upon her. That’s because the calling she thought she heard the was the Voice of Real Reason.

    This new calling was unknown and foreign to her, so she started “looking back” over her endeavors, some that were her present focus and some that were laid to rest. This was a big internal shift for her and she felt the Lord presenting to her an opportunity that was once a vision, one that the Lord laid to rest.

    Now, most people don’t get an opportunity to glimpse into the future actually only those favored by God get that blessing. The Lord had given her a glimpse into her future and had even blessed her with a few of the joys He has in store for her.

    But, what she didn’t comprehend is that the enemy had snuck in and apprehended her mindset with his ventriloquism and presented her an image of past activities that God has laid to rest . She just knew that it was the Lord speaking to her. So, she said yes, believing it to be God speaking to her.

    Beloved, many of us have fallen to the disguised voice of the enemy. There was nothing wrong with her believing and trusting God. We all know that God knows best. But we also must listen to the voice of “Real Reason” then decipher our personal desires along with the ventriloquism of the enemy. We must stay focused on how God reacts and render His decision(s) in certain situations we have encountered in order to recognize the REAL from the deceptive.There’ll be times in our lives that the plans of God are the exact opposite of what we have planned or desire for ourselves. Fear and uncertainty might overpower our hearts but we have to cling to God’s truth that His plans are always better than ours. We might not fully understand it right now. We might not be able to see how things will turnout, but we must remind ourselves that His plans are always good. He knows what’s best for us and “His plans” will definitely bring hope to our future.

    Beloved if God has laid your previous plan(s) to rest then trust the voice of Real focused on the voice of Real Reason. He has something much better in His store house waiting to be personally delivered to you – but you must have faith in His process.

    CHOF Ministry Prayer:

    Dear Heavenly Father, this morning I surrender all my plans to You. I pray that whenever things happen the way I didn’t plan it to or the way I think it should be, my heart (mind and emotions) will always trust You even though I don’t understand Your ways. In Jesus’ Mighty Name I Pray, Amen and Amen.
