  • “Jehovah Jireh”

    March 22 2020 week 3 and 4 Bishop Houston's Sunday Morning Church Proverbs 6 6 through11
    Praise The Lord Everyone!!! Happy Sunday to you!!! ✝️❤️😊

    In March, we use to have an ant problem in our kitchen. They are very persistent and challenging to eradicate. And the coronavirus reminds me of those ants “hard to get rid of” once it’s engaged. But you know Beloved, to a person trying to remain on the right path, these tiny creatures and this pandemic seem determined or even motivating. If you examine the traits of ants, you’ll find they have numerous attributes people respect, including planning, teamwork, determination, attentiveness, and synchronization.

    Ants are just one illustration of how much the world can teach us about God’s creations; it encompasses abundant proof of His character and principles. Knowing this, Jesus directed His followers’ attention to the birds so that they might think about the foolishness of apprehension (*1). Birds don’t collect or harvest crumb but, instead, believe their food will be provided as it always has been. This manifestation of nature validates that the Lord, who provides for birds, can be reliable to meet His people’s requirements as well even during and after this pandemic.

    Jehovah Jireh – God Will Provide. ✝️❤️

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, help us to stay focused on You so that we may see Your principles in the natural world and as we go through this pandemic. Help us to continue to grow and understand what’s going on not just inside our homes but outside them as well. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen.
    ✝️❤️

    To God Be The Glory. Have a Blessed Sunday Everyone.
    ✝️❤️😊

  • “God Will Provide In 2020”

    God Will Provide.png

    Beloved, “the Lord will provide,” isn’t on the foundation of food and drink, cars, money or bills. It’s in the framework of the most extreme physical need we as a people face daily – the loss of life. Now when I say the loss of life I’m not speaking of physical death, I’m speaking of defeat in life, a damaged life, disappointments in life.
     
    I’ve noticed that many people think of God’s provision as a customer service representative or a restaurant server. We think of God providing for us with jobs, taking care of family, friends, care for our churches, ministries, blessing us with abilities, and answering prayers. These things are significant and meaningful, they’re undeniably a portion of God’s provision to us. But too often we stop there, and in doing so we condense the deep reality of what “the Lord shall provide” truly means. God is our Provider, but to receive the adequate provisions of God we must have “Obedient Faith ” In other words, we must respect Him, show our appreciation and have complete trust and confidence, (unwavering doubt) daily and believe He is who He says He is and He will accomplish what He has promised and we must understand His scheduling isn’t on our time – table.
     
    In Matthew 6 Jesus tells his disciples “Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on . . . Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they . . . Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
     
    In these verses, Jesus shows one end of the continuum of God’s provision. He cares for the smallest and even the unconscious in His creation. He clothes and feeds them. His eye is on them as cherished created things. So, as we go into 2020 don’t worry about His provision. We’re image-bearers, distinctively made to be God’s children. He provides as a father must. Providing exactly the things that are best for His children without hesitation and always at the right time.
     
    Have a blessed 2020 Everyone!!! ❤️🥂🎆🎉😊

  • “You’re a Covenant Child”

    You’re a Covenant Child.png

    Praise the Lord Everyone!!! Happy Friday to you. 😀

    Beloved, are you a covenant child? If your answer is yes, I want you to know that God has made an arraignment for you to receive His wonderful promises. That’s what you and I have when we stand on the solid foundation with Almighty God. If you could truly grasp the significance of that, you’d never be the same again.

    You have a relationship of favor that gives you free admission to someone else’s power. You see, when you become God’s family member you can walk right on in (through prayer) without being stopped and let God know where you’re weak. Once you leave your prayer position it’s time to get excited, because you know with all that you are, that everything’s going to be handled, you have no doubt that whatever or whoever is making you weak “GOD GOT THIS!!! You’ll have no doubt that any weapon formed against you won’t prosper. That’s because you’re a family member of the Highest God and He has ALL POWER.

    Beloved, God has entered a blood covenant with you. If you’ll give everything you have to God, HE WILL exchange everything He has with you.

    He’ll take your sin to give you His righteousness. He’ll take your sickness to give you His health. He’ll take your poverty in order to meet all your needs according to His riches in glory. God provides.

    So, this weekend Beloved, remember, The Great Jehovah, God of heaven and earth, is your Father God. If you’re under the blood of Jesus, you’ve been made a covenant child of the most powerful being in the universe.

    “The morals of a good man and woman will run to enter the building of Jehovah Jireh.” – Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr.

    Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone. 😀
