“Trouble and Challenges Are Skills”
“Walking the Spiritual Path” with: Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr., and First Lady Donece Houston Focal Verse for this morning: Psalms 27:1 -
“Keeping a Strong and Clear Outlook”
All through Ephesians chapter 1, Paul is undoubtedly hit with the brilliance of our birthright in Christ. In our focal verse this morning, we see he prays that we’ll know the resources of its glory. According to Ephesians 1:14, some commentators perceive “His inheritance” as an orientation to believers, who are God’s inheritance or in distinct proprietorship. That interpretation weighs heavily on the value God places on us as believers, as demonstrated in Christ’s death, the forgiveness of our sins, and the abundant grace that He lavishes on us (*1.).Others understand it by referencing it to the believer’s inheritance, which Paul calls “His inheritance” because God is its source. Just as “His calling” (Ephesians 1:18) issued from Him and was received by believers, so His inheritance issues from Him.Beloved, both opinions are theologically sound, but the second view seems more reliable with Paul’s emphasis in verses 11 and 14. It doesn’t make a difference which view is favored, Paul’s point is strong and transparent: reclamation and its complementary blessings are so philosophical that we must have supernatural help to comprehend them. That’s why in Ephesians 1:18, he prayed for our insight.Beloved, insight is vital because how you look at your spiritual possessions is the way you’ll take your spiritual prescriptions to live. If, for example, you comprehend “and appreciate” that you have every source for godly living (*2.), you’re less likely to surrender to enticement. Knowing God has given you His absolute best in Christ (*3.) guarantees you that He won’t hold back less essential things so that you won’t be so apprehensive about earthly requirements. Understanding that you have already received “grace upon grace – John 1:16″, abundant life – John 10:10”, and “everything about life and godliness” – 2 Pet. 1:3″ assures you that God’s forthcoming modification and resources will be more than necessary (*4).Beloved, let this morning’s words inspire you to praise your prosperous and glorious God for His spiritual affluence and magnificent inheritance!!! Amen? Aaamen.Let Us Pray:Dear Heavenly Father, this morning I want to say thank You for allowing me to be Your child. In Jesus’ Name, I Pray, Amen, and Aaamen.✝️❤️Beloved, most of our States are opening back up, but the Coronavirus, COVID – 19 is still Present.

“The Big Picture”
Praise The Lord Beloved. Happy Monday.You know I’ve read the book of Jonah many times over the course of my life, but this morning the last few verses captured my attention. The last few verses show us that Jonah learns a very clear “strong” lesson about God’s grace and mercy. He couldn’t see it before because of the condition of his heart. God reminds Jonah that even though the Ninevites were living in spiritual darkness His mercy still played a part in bringing them back from that darkness. Jonah wasn’t looking at the big picture.Beloved, there are times when we, as humans, forget about the big picture. We get so wrapped up in the specifics of the effective criteria we’re involved with that we don’t see what’s at the heart of the matter. Just as God used this experience to teach Jonah to see past his own desires, God can do the same for us today. There’s undeniably a big picture, and with God’s help, we can see it too.Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊Let Us Pray:Dear Heavenly Father, I know that there are times all I can see is what’s right in front of me. As I continue to grow in my faith, I pray that You’ll show me just how big the picture truly is and that You’ll help me hold on to it. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen. -
