  • “I Can Do All Things”

    1 6 2020 Philippians 4 13.png
    Praise the Lord Everyone!!! 😀 

    In our verse this morning it tells us about Apostle Paul’s testimony to the Philippian believers. The phrase “all things” is a very bold two words. What Apostle Paul means is He can do everything that God wants him to do because Christ will reinforce him. He used the word strengthen because according to the context of this verse, Paul was talking about his day to day needs. So even if his food supply diminished or he’s having a hardship, he’s confident that Christ will reinforce him to do the assignment God commissioned him to do. This is a reminder to us that we shouldn’t let fatigue and pessimism impede our service to God.

    Beloved, Jesus Christ will be there to strengthen us not only in times of deprivation but also in times of apathy and disappointment. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Lord, thank You for constantly being there to reinforce me. During challenging and excruciating positions in my life, You’re always there to pull me up and keep me going. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Amen. ✝️❤️😊

    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 enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So, reach out and touch the ones that need your agape, dissolve the divisions among you, continue to encourage one another, be united in the same mind, the same reasoning and continue to build one another up.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a wonderful Monday and a wonderful week. ✝️❤️😊

  • “Strengthen Your Heart”

    9 10 2019 Bishop Houston’s Morning Spiritual Stimulation Joshua 11 19 20
    Praise the Lord Beloved. 😀 Happy Tuesday to you.

    Beloved, this morning I, want you to look closely at this morning’s verse where it says: “the Lord hardened their hearts.” Now, there may be some of you that may be asking: “Bishop Houston does God harden the hearts of people so that they sin?” And there maybe some of you asking: “Bishop Houston, why did God harden their hearts?” If you’re asking either one of these questions, they’re both great questions and I’m Glad You Asked. 😀
     
    Let’s look at verse 19. It says, “Not a town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites.” Beloved, this means God was hoping they would change and make peace with Israel, but they didn’t. Now, the word, “hardened” means “to strengthen.” God didn’t cause them to sin – they already sinned and chose to keep on sinning, so God strengthened their stand, not imposing on them to do what God wanted until they fell into God’s judgment.
     
    This is a story that actually outlines to us that God won’t interfere with our free will if we select to sin. He wants us to choose freely to abandon sin and come to Him and make peace with Him.
     
    Beloved, don’t you think it’s time to decide to make peace with God and ask for forgiveness? I have no doubt and you shouldn’t have a doubt that “He will” forgive you and cleanse you. 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 blessed Tuesday. 😀
