  • “THE BLESSING” with Many Opportunities

    “An Online Ministry That’s Teaching and Inspiring People All Over the World with Informative Biblical Principles”

  • “Elevated Above it All”

    2 28 2020 Bishop Houston's Weekend Words Psalm 61 2
    Praise the Lord Beloved!!!  Be filled with delight because we have another opportunity to be wakened on another Friday. Hallelujah!!! ✝️❤️😊

    You know, Beloved, all of us venture across the seasons of trouble, complicated situations, or obstacles (people and events). Every one of us faces questions, disputes, prosecution, and hardships. Biblical scripture informs us that in this world, we’ll have “TROUBLE.” This morning I want you to be encouraged, as the late Timothy Wright’s song says: “TROUBLE DON’T LAST ALWAYS!!!” 😊     

    Beloved, we can be inspired today because He has conquered the world and deactivated it of the capability to harm us!!! Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. 😊 His ways are more elevated than our methods, and He has guaranteed to provide for us!!!

     So many times, people believe they’re trapped in their surroundings, situations, or conditions because they’re exploring them from a physical point of view. This instinctive viewpoint is constricting. It’s miniature, and its foundation is weak. It’s only a small percentage of what’s going on. But if we’ll climb up to an elevated level to grasp understanding, we’ll see things the way God sees them. We’ll comprehend His principles and objectives and see our way to victory!!!

    Beloved, as we end this week, and head into the weekend, if you feel like you’re exhausted, “TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED” Jesus is the rock, He elevates above your circumstances. When you call on Him, He’ll be with you. He’ll take the lead and shepherd you into the elevated locations He has prepared just for you!!! Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊

     I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have an enjoyable Friday and a fabulous weekend, everyone.
    ✝️❤️😊

     

  • “A Solid Foundation Matters”

    CHOF Ministry Expressions for Today Bishop Houston 2 26 2019
    Luke 6:48 (AMP) – (48) he is like a [far-sighted, practical, and sensible] man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and yet could not shake it, because it had been securely built and founded on the rock.

     
    Last weekend an investment partner called me to come to a location in East Cleveland to look at a property we invested in several months ago. We knew after looking around and surveying, it was going to need some work especially in a room that was added. I could tell, the room was sinking. There were cracks in the walls and one of the windows wouldn’t open. The seller told us that the room was added several years ago. We walk outside and look around the house and we could see that the room was added without a foundation. And right away we knew that correcting the sloppy work would mean months of work to lay a new foundation.
     
    After I arrived, I went straight to the room that needed work. I couldn’t see much difference. The cracks were gone and now the window opened. I was cool with that, because I understood that a solid foundation was what matters.
     
    Beloved, this is true in our lives as well. In Luke 6:46-49 Jesus shared a parable about wise and foolish builders to illustrate the foolishness of not listening to Him. Those who hear and obey His words are like the person who builds a house on a firm foundation, unlike those who hear but ignore His words. Jesus assured His listeners that when the storms come, their house would stand. Their faith would not be shaken.
     
    We can find peace knowing that as we listen to and obey Jesus, He forms a strong foundation for our lives. We can strengthen our love for Him through reading the Bible, praying, and learning from other Christians. Then when we face the fast-moving water of rain pounding against us, whether it’s betrayal, pain, or disappointment, we can trust that our foundation is solid.
     
    Beloved, our Savior will provide the support we need.
     
    Have a Blessed Tuesday Everyone. 😀

  • “Solid As A Rock”

    Bishop Houston Grow in Christ weekd logo picture 2222Praise the Lord Beloved – Happy Friday to Everyone!!!

    What a joy and honor to start the day with you once again.
     
    **I have changed the title of the “Weekend Word” to “Grow in Christ Jesus”
    My focus is to present a more spiritual and comprehensive concept that will produce a vivid spiritual thought going into the weekend.

    You know Beloved, sometimes, people get sidetracked by what they consider to be a difficulty or setback in their lives. It may be something about their personality or looks that they don’t like. Or, maybe they’ve been through an unfair situation such as a divorce, a bad business agreement or a bad discontinuity. We all have things that can feel like shortcomings; things that make it harder on us. It may even be a physical handicap, and you can’t get around like you used to. But just because you have a “shortcoming,” just because you’ve been through a tough time doesn’t mean you’re supposed to sit back and settle where you are. God still has something great for you to do!!! 😀 He wants to show Himself solid as a rock in and through you, and He’s given you His Holy Spirit to equip you in this life.
     

    Beloved, this weekend, let the Holy Spirit help you when you feel fragile, undesired or useless. Let Him empower you with truth that will set you free. Stay in faith and don’t get negative toward yourself or your future. Release your grip and let God take what you think is a liability and turn it into an asset!!! Let Him take what you think is a shortcoming and turn it around to be a benefit!!! Remember, you’re more than a conqueror today and every day because He is solid as a rock in you!!!
     
    Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone. 😀
