  • “Living or Dead – No One’s Exempt”

    Bishop Houston's Full Purple Shirt Living or Dead - No One’s Exempt
    Praise the Lord Beloved. What a beautiful Sunday. I thank God for allowing us another opportunity to collectively serve Him. 😀

    This Morning’s Focal Bible Scripture is Romans 14:7-12.

    You’ll find in the New Testament the word Lord is the most recurrently used designation for Jesus Christ. Although we seldom use this term in our daily lives, we’re all quite accustomed with another word: “boss or supervisor”. That is basically what Lord means—one possessing authority, power, and control. The Word of God describes Jesus as the head of the church, the ruler over all creation, and the Lord of lords and King of kings. *(1)

    The territory of Christ’s authority covers everything that happens in heaven and on the earth. NO ONE—not even those who reject the reality that He exist can be free of His rule. NO ONE is outside His range of authority. Although Satan tries to give us a run for our money by making every effort to convince us that liberty is found in doing what we want, but true freedom is attained and developed only through submission to Christ’s loving lordship.

    Beloved, even death’s proclamation won’t exempt anyone from the authority of God’s Son. He’s Lord of both the living and the dead. Everyone must decide to either yield or rebel against Him, but the only opportunity they have to make this choice is while they’re still living. After death, they’ll accept Christ’s lordship through accountability to Him.

    Beloved, if we haven’t conformed to Jesus in life, we’ll be forced to kneel in the judgment.
    Amen? – Aaamen. 😀

    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 be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have a very blessed Sunday Everyone. 😀

    *1. (Col. 1:15-18; Rev. 3:14; 17:14)

  • The Word of God – Living and Active”

    Bishop Houston Mid Week The Word of God Living and Active
    Hebrews 4:12 (AMP)
    *12 For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.

     
    Beloved, you’ll never regret the time you spend reading God’s Word. It’s full of optimism that encourages our hurting soul. Just as when the disciples began to feel sad because Jesus told them that He would be away from them in a little while. He was speaking about going back to the Father after His mission. He spoke encouraging words to them to lift their discouraged faces.
     
    Beloved, God doesn’t want to see us dispirited. There are many times we’ll get so preoccupied by the things of this world and when we fail to achieve something, we somehow get upset. Our hearts (mind and emotions) become disturbed. Remember whatever it may be that weighs you down, believe in God. Remember, He has solutions in store for you. Don’t let anything or anybody trouble your hearts, keep the faith in Christ and He’ll take care of your problems.

    “CHOF Ministry’s Expression for Today”

    Proverbs 19:23 (AMP)

    The fear of the Lord leads to life, o that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

    Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀

    You know, one thing I’ve observed over the years is that so many people are walking around who aren’t really living to their full capacity the way God planed. Have you ever noticed that many people quit living around fifty, but they live to be eighty or more? Maybe they went through a disappointment or had some disappointments. Someone hurt them, and now they’ve lost their joy and now settle where they are. Well, if you’re in this position right now or you know someone that is, I want you to know, this isn’t what God desires for you or your life!!! God has another victory in store with you name all over it!!!! You wouldn’t be breathing unless God had something amazing in your future.

    Beloved, it’s time to get your passion back and be determined to really live out your God-given days!!!

    The scripture says that God wants to bring you to a copious finish, not a sluggish finish. Don’t let disappointment or unhappiness hold you back. God has promised that what was meant for your harm He’ll turn around and use for your good. Not only will He bring you out, but He’ll bring you out better off than you were before. I’m a living witness to this!!!

    Beloved, today receive it by faith and press forward into a copious and rewarding life He has in store just for you!!! 😀

    Have a blessed Tuesday Everyone. 😀
