    CHOF Ministry & BWFHJr. Ministries are “Online Ministries That’s Teaching and Inspiring People All Over the World with Informative Biblical Principles.”

  • “Facilitate Yourself Accordingly”

  • “Examine Your Spiritual Teachers”

    8 22 2019 Bishop Houston's Weekend Words 1 john 4 1

    Happy Friday!!! 😀
    There are many that come into the Christian faith that wants to be recognized as a new person doing new things, you know: “OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW” and as the euphoria continues they now want to preach or teach the Word of God not realizing that many are watching and critically critiquing them. :-D.
    Beloved, have you ever read or heard something from a preacher, or Bible teacher and wonder what they’re saying is correct? If you haven’t, you should!!! You know, since I’ve become an advocate for the Kingdom of God I’ve been challenged on just about every front or put through a barrage of test constantly especially from those that knew me from my “past”. First, when I received salvation, then when I went into the ministry, and then when I started my ministry. I’m critically critiqued daily.
    As spiritual leaders/teachers, we all want to be received, but part of being received is being able to receive the barrage of questions and doubts about our spiritual rehabilitation and critically critiqued when we deliver a spiritual word. As a minister of God’s Word, I’ll be the first to tell you I’m not perfect and I’m sure even the most appreciated and respected preachers and teachers will tell you they’re still learning and aren’t going to get everything 100% right all the time. Beloved, there’s nothing wrong with questioning any man or woman that announces a spiritual word. There’re many false teachers out there. So, if you’re ever in doubt or have a question about something a preacher/pastor, Sunday school teacher, or Christian spiritual leader is sharing, one of the best ways to know whether something is truly from God, read your Bible!!! 😀 The more familiar you are with scripture, the more you’ll be able to identify the men and women clergy of God and false teachers. They’ll stand out like pepper on white rice. Now, I want you to keep in mind that even if someone gets something wrong now and then, that doesn’t automatically make them a false teacher. 😀 Discernment is key to determining whether someone just slipped up, is ill-informed, or they’re intentionally leading others astray.
    Beloved, as you go into this weekend, ask God for discernment about those that lead Christian flocks, Christian ministries, and those that share spiritual words.
    Dear Heavenly Father, please give us discernment as we hear teachings or read devotional content, so we can know what’s from You and what’s not. Thank You that we have Your word as a guide.
    In Jesus Name we pray. Amen and Aaamen.
    Beloved, it’s been another great week for CHOF Ministry and Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. Ministry. Thank you so much for allowing us to stimulate your week. First Lady Donece and I appreciate those of you that continue to inbox, email and call us with your praise reports and encouraging words. It really warms our heart each day to hear how God is moving in your life.
    Have a blessed Weekend Everyone. 😀

  • “Paul Vs. Apollos?”

    Bishop Houston Thursday Morning Post 8 1 2019 Prosperity
    1 Corinthians 3:4-6 (AMP)

    You know Beloved, division is a fleshly desire that reshapes us. It restructures us mentally, emotionally and in some cases financially. Many churches and ministries are very notorious when it comes to division. They’ll look at a church or ministry that may be less prosperous or smaller and look down on the edifice. For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not characterizing yourself from a fleshly – carnal platform? 😀 Beloved, WHO THEN IS PAUL, and WHO IS APOLLOS? They were ministers that each follower chose to believe. Didn’t the Lord give to each one? 😀
     
    One Planted, One Watered – but it was God who gave the increase. So, then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
     
    So, it doesn’t matter who’s more affluent or who has more followers. We’re all Christians and serve one God who doesn’t divide the good from the good but blesses accordingly.
     
    Beloved, as believers in Christ we’re God’s fellow workers – you’re God’s field, you’re God’s building.” Let us be mindful we walk “TOGETHER” with the spirit of God inside us and not the fleshly, carnality of men or women.
     
    “To God Be the Glory.”

  • “Circumventing Spiritual Misconception”

    Wednesday 7 3 19 2019 Let Us Pray James 1 22

    In Matthew 7 verses 21-23 you’ll find it chronicles the sad results of spiritual misconception. Jesus says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’”

    Beloved, Jesus made a strong pulsating dissimilarity between those who just claim to be Christians and those who actually are. The difference is, true believers do the will of the Father. In the words of James, they’re doers of the Word, not just hearers who deceive themselves. “Hearers” in James 1:22 translates a Greek word that speaks of auditing a class. Auditing students go to class and listen to the instructor but don’t do any work. So, they don’t receive credit for the course. The phrase “delude themselves” speaks of being persecuted by one’s own defective reasoning. People who listen to God’s Word but never obey it are spiritual auditors who delude themselves by thinking that hearing the Word is all God requires of them. Unfortunately, many churches and ministries are full of these people. They attend services and hear the sermons, but their lives never seem to change. They’re content to hear the Word but they never apply it. Like those whom Jesus condemned in Matthew 7, they’ve chosen “religious” activities over true faith in Christ.
     
    You’re in a sad situation to think you’re saved, only to hear. Matthew 7:23 (AMP) says: And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].
     
    Beloved, that will never happen if you’re a doer of the Word.
    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.
     
    Beloved, once again, I thank God for you. You all are truly my inspiration. 😀
     
    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have an “Awesome” Wednesday.

  • “Spiritual Assignment Location”

    Wednesday 4 3 2019 Let Us Pray Bible Verse Matthew 28 19 through 20 Spiritual assignment location
    Good morning and Happy Wednesday Everyone.

    Sometimes we hear ministers talk about their ministries in other locations, (cities, states, and countries) and wonder what it’s like, traveling to other areas or countries to reach the lost. As Christians, we have been assigned with the Gospel and have been told to spread it far and wide. Now, I’m sure there are many ministers that will say “That’s Awesome – for those that have been blessed financially.” Some of you ministers are like me, can’t always jump up and buy a plane ticket to other distance cities nor other countries. We have responsibilities. But that shouldn’t stop us from spreading the Good News. For many of you ministers God has planted you where He needs you to be – this doesn’t mean it’s your permanent location. To find your present spiritual assignment location, just look down and see where your feet are planted. Are you a mother with small children at home? Your spiritual assignment location maybe your home, and the minds of your children, whom the Lord has assigned you to train up in the way they should go. Do you work outside the home? Your spiritual assignment location maybe your place of employment which includes your coworkers, customers, and bosses. Your spiritual assignment location could be on social media as a – morning greeter, inspirational or devotional deliverer, prayer warrior, spiritual teacher or sharing a post of love, joy, happiness, wisdom and knowledge. Beloved, for some, being a minister doesn’t always mean traveling across the city, from city to city or to other countries nor speaking a different language. We can do the Lord’s work wherever we are. That means spreading the gospel message far and wide and to as many people as you can. You have a responsibility to do it wherever you are, even if that only spans a few city blocks or your living room.

    Have a blessed Wednesday Everyone.
