  • Bishop Houston’s “Inspiring Word for Today”

    Bishop' inspirational word week 1 all balltes are not worth fighting
    “Distinguish Your Conflicts”

    Beloved, in life, many of the encounters we face are simply disruptions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our calling. Maybe someone in the office isn’t as friendly to you as you’d like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your driveway or mailbox. Those things may be annoying, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can’t allow the little things to cause conflict in your life.

    You will find in scripture, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Eliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Eliab wasn’t even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn’t want to be distracted. He simply “turned away” from Eliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do.

    Let’s follow the example of David and keep our eyes on what’s most important in life. Instead of being led away by frustrations, let’s focus on the big picture. Distinguish Your conflicts and receive the mark of honor the Lord has for you!!!

    Bishop' inspirational word week 1 delete any virus

    “Use Your Delete Button”

    Beloved, our minds work a lot like a computer. The way we program our thinking will determine how our lives are going to function. You can have the most expensive, powerful and top of the line computer that’s on the market, but if you load the wrong software, it’s not going to perform at its best.

    Well, it is no different for people. You’ll find many people are not living a victorious life not because there’s something wrong with them, but because of what has been programmed in their thinking.

    They start believing the lies, “I’m not talented. I don’t have a good personality, I come from this particular family I’m worthless. I’ve made too many mistakes. I’ve reached my limits.”

    Beloved, just like a virus can slow down a perfectly good computer, our wrong thinking can keep us from our destiny. If you’re going to live in victory, you’ve got to know when to use your delete button.

    When that thought comes that says, “You’re just average. You’re ordinary.” Use your delete button and say, “I’m a masterpiece. I’m one of a kind.” When you hear, “You’ve seen your best days. It’s all downhill from here.” Use your delete button and say, “My future will be brighter than my past.” If you’ll start using your delete button on those negative thoughts, your life will go to a new level, and you’ll experience the blessing and increase God has in store for you!!!

    Bishop' inspirational word week 4 Little things are Relevant.png
    Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
    I hope your day is being blessed.

    In scripture, the prophet Elisha told a man by the named of Naaman to go wash in the Jordan River and he would be cured of his leprosy. Naaman was a very influential man, he was the Captain of an army. He didn’t want to go wash in the dirty Jordan River. His attitude was:
    “That’s ridiculous. That’s trivial. That’s irrelevant. That’s petty. That’s not going to make any difference.” His assistant said, “Naaman, if he would have asked you to do something hard, something big, you would do it. Why don’t you do this small thing?” Naaman finally went and washed in the Jordan, and he was totally healed.

    Beloved, I wonder how many of us would see our development, our restoration, our elevation, or a dream come to pass if we would just do the small thing that God is asking us to do. People think, “Oh, it doesn’t really matter. I’ll do it one day.”

    Beloved, it may be something small that God is calling you to do. It is your act of obedience that will cause God to release the big thing that He has in store just for you.

  • “Everything Is OK”

    Bishop' inspirational word” Week 4“Everything Is OK.png
    Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 
    I hope your day is being blessed.

    Beloved, this morning, I want you to know that no matter what’s happening in your life, God wants you to know that everything is OK with you today!!! Now you may say, “Bishop Houston, everything is not OK in my finances. I’m stressed. I’m in debt.” That’s okay. It’s not the end. God is still working.

    Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord your Provider, has breakthroughs coming your way.
    If everything isn’t OK in your health, don’t get dejected. It’s not the end.
    God has healing and restoration coming your way. If everything isn’t OK in your family or in a relationship, don’t write a child or spouse off. They may be on the wrong course, but it’s not the end. In the end, God promises everything is going to be OK.

    Remember Beloved, our God doesn’t end in defeat. He didn’t say, “Most of the time, I will cause you to triumph.” No, He said, “I will always cause you to triumph.” You may go through complicated issues, through discriminating situations or through disloyalties, but the point is that you are going through. You’re not staying there!!! It’s not permanent. Defeat is not your normal state. If everything is not OK in your life that simply means you haven’t made it to your new destination.

    Beloved, stay in faith, keep proclaiming His Word and keep moving forward because everything is OK with you!!!

  • “Emotions Vs. Reality”

    Bishop' inspirational word” Week 4“Emotions Vs RealityPsalm 33:4-5 says: The word of the Lord is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the loving kindness of the Lord.

    Praise the Lord Beloved. I want to talk to you a little about Your emotions.

    Emotions are important. God created them, and He expects us to experience them. He doesn’t expect us to be emotionless machines. But emotions have no intellect. They’re real and powerful, but they don’t think. All we can do with our emotions is react. Emotions will react to a lie just as they react to reality. Emotions even react to things that are not real. That’s why emotions must always be the caboose of the train and never the engine.

    You know, in the Garden of Eden, Satan turned the caboose into the engine. By appealing to Eve’s emotions and desire, He convinced Eve to take the fruit and look at it from his perspective. He put reality into the caboose position. So when Eve took the fruit and ate it, she was rejecting reality in favor of her emotions.

    Most of the mistakes we make are caused by following our emotions. Emotions are very real, but the question is, are they right or wrong emotions? If you attend a scary film at night, you might have trouble sleeping because of the sense of fear that the film evokes in you. This is true even though neither the characters nor the events in the film were real. Whether or not the source of the emotions is real, often has little to do with how we react in our emotions.

    Beloved, as you grow in your walk with Christ, test your emotions against the revealed truth of His Word. Align your actions to the reality rather than responding in your emotions, and you’ll find peace, calm, and a life of stable wisdom.

  • “God Is Blowing In Your Direction”

    Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
    Happy Monday to Everyone.

    Beloved, are you stressing because you need a break through? Maybe you need a breakthrough in your finances, a place to live or in a relationship. It’s OK to do everything we know to do in the natural, but we have to always remember that victory doesn’t come by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the living God.
    Victory comes when we allow the Almighty God to grasp our situation.

    Beloved, you have to let God into your life and let Him control your direction. You have to take a leap of faith and say, “Lord have Your way in my life!!! I have tried it my way, and my way just isn’t getting it done. If I’m going to accomplish my dreams, I need you to be “The Conductor” in my life for The Rest Of My Life.”

    Beloved, that’s when you’ll start to feel the wind beneath your wings. That’s when you’ll feel a supernatural lift, an anointing that will help you accomplish what you could not accomplish on your own.

    So today, know that the wind of God is blowing in your direction. It’s time to release your will and submit to the authority of God. Don’t you think it’s time for you to get back on track again?
    Believe me when I say, “God can open doors, that no man can shut.”

  • “Late In the Midnight Hour God’s Going To Turn It Around!!!”

    Bishop' inspirational word” Week “Late In the Midnight Hour God’s Going To Turn It Around”
    Acts 16:25-26

    Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
    Happy Wednesday to you.

    Paul and Silas were put in jail for dispersing the good news. It wasn’t fair. They were beaten with rods, didn’t get a trial. It was justice at its worst. As they sat in prison, bloody, bruised and in much pain,
    they began to sing praises to God. As they were singing praises to God, all of the sudden, there was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, the chains fell off, and they walked out as free men. Beloved, they praised their way to victory!!!

    Beloved,
    if you’re going to live in victory, “YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO PRAISE IN YOUR MIDNIGHT HOUR!!!”
    I’m speaking of when things seem the darkest, when you’re in pain, disappointed, lonely or experiencing a loss. When you praise Him no matter what, that’s when God can enter your situation. That’s when He can break your chains and set you free!!!
     
    Beloved,
    late in the midnight hour, God will turn your bad situation into a GREAT situation. He will turn it around.

    Remember, a sacrifice of praise is when it costs you something, when you don’t necessarily feel like doing it. Praise Him, not because of how you feel, but because He is worthy!!!
    Praise Him in your midnight hour and get ready to embrace the freedom He has planned for you!!!

  • God Cares and Loves You More

    Bishop' inspirational word” Week 2 God Loves you MoreAs I drink my cup of cappuccino and get ready to encounter my today, I am watching the deer in my backyard. I have noticed how free spirited they are.

    You know Beloved, we can learn a lot  from the animals. They playfully make it through thick and thin each day with instinctive survival skills.

    They nurture their young with loyalty and commitment, and they’re happily cared for by nature.

    They have no worries.
