“You’re Closer Than You Think”
Beloved, everyone has God-given visions and wishes. We all have goals we want to meet and certain conditions we believe will turn around. Sometimes, the time seems to take longer than we initially thought. Sometimes, things don’t work out the way we prearranged, and it’s easy to lose passion. If we’re not careful, we’ll get dispirited and end up just settling or compromise where we are. But God doesn’t want us to settle or compromise, He wants to increase us He wants to elevate us. Many times, people miss out on God’s best basically because they give up too soon. They don’t comprehend how close they are to their victory.Don’t let that be you today. Don’t give up just because things appear too hard. You’ve invested so much, and you never know, just a couple more days of believing, another couple of weeks of doing the right thing, another couple of months of staying in faith, and you could see that state of affairs turn around. Remember, God’s on your side!!! Keep standing and keep believing because you’re closer than you think about fulfilling and enjoying every wish, He’s placed inside of you!!! Amen? Aaamen. 😀CHOF Ministry’s Mid-Week Prayer:Dear Heavenly Father, today I come to You believing that You’re working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your intestinal fortitude to keep moving forward into the place of victory You have for me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, 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 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 “Great” Wednesday.Please visit Christian House of Faith, CHOF – CHOF Ministry on FacebookandBishop W. F.

“Moving Forward”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! Happy Tuesday to you.Beloved, have you ever heard someone say: “That isn’t fair?” Well, God never assured us that life would always be fair. In fact, He cautions us about unfairness!!! People aren’t flawless, we all make errors and bad choices. You may have been hurt by others in the past, but what’s most imperative is how you choose to deal with that hurt.You see, when you choose to put an anchor on hurts and offenses, it keeps you stuck in the past. It only causes impairment in your life. If you want to advance into a life of happiness and tranquility, you have to choose compassion and understanding – forgiveness.That’s right, forgiveness. Forgiveness is a choice Beloved, and it has nothing to do with the person who hurt you. Forgiveness is the choice to hand your hurts over to God and let Him make the change. When we choose to extend forgiveness, that’s when we choose to receive God’s forgiveness!!! Today, select God’s way, select compassion, and understanding “forgiveness”, and select to transfer your hurt to God so that you can move forward to enjoy the victory God has arranged for 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 boundless loving Tuesday. -
“There’s Power When We’re Weak”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀 Happy Monday to you all.
As I’ve gotten older, I have a few lingering health conditions that require me to take several medications a day. You know Beloved, we don’t always understand why the Lord allows us to have certain health problems and challenges, but as Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians, sometimes the Lord won’t remove certain hardships from our lives because of the testimony that we have through them to give Him glory outweighs any potential benefit we might otherwise receive. But if we can tell others how hard we struggle and how we eventually obtain victory through the Lord’s strength and not our own, that gives glory to Him.
Beloved, whenever ongoing health issues or other setbacks get you down, use them as a road sign to point others to the source of your strength and hope. If we can use our weaknesses to point to God and give Him the glory, then that’s a very irrefutable powerful weakness. Amen. 😀 Aaamen… 😀

“Don’t Be a Satisfied Runner-Up”

James 1:2-3
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.Praise the Lord Men and Women of the Christian Faith. It is cold here and the we have lots of snow. I hope all is pleasant in your nation.
Beloved, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s very difficult to be excited about going through tests and trials. But can you get excited about being absolutely complete in every way, in want of nothing? Well, according to the Word of God, if you’ll use your trials to mature in patience, you’re going to be in exactly that position!!!You see, I’ve found that patience doesn’t mean what I thought it meant. It doesn’t mean being OK with being runner-up. It doesn’t mean standing humbly or quietly by while the devil runs all over you. The devil would love for you to make his job easy.No!!! Patience is a powerful word!!! The New Testament meaning of it as translated literally from the Greek is “to be consistently constant or to be the same way all the time, regardless of what happens.”To understand how much power’s involved in that, you have to understand that it’s one of the most outstanding attributes of God Himself. The Bible says He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.Beloved, just think about that for a minute. The person who absolutely cannot be changed by anyone or anything is an extremely powerful person, wouldn’t you say? Obviously, God has that much power.But you know what? So, do you!!!By the power of the Holy Ghost working within you, you can be the same every day no matter what happens. If you’ll put your trust in the Word of God and let patience go to work, it won’t matter what happens. You won’t ever have to accept anything less than victory again.“No person has the right to rain on your dreams.”-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Have a blessed Week Everyone. 😀 -
“Joy Is Always In Attendance”

Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Monday to you all. I hope all is well and I hope your holiday shopping has been a joy.You know Beloved, God promises that joy is found in His presence, and if you’ve acknowledged Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then His presence lives inside of you. That means you’re full of joy!!! Joy displays when you’re focused on the Father and begin to admire and pay tribute to Him for what He’s done in your life. It doesn’t matter where you are or what’s going on around you, you can access the joy that’s inside of you at “ANY TIME”, day or night.
Beloved, right now wouldn’t be a bad time to set your mind on Jesus. God always wants you to experience His supernatural joy and peace. That’s why He chose to live inside of you and give you an endless supply of “Whatever”. Don’t waste another minute feeling overburdened, abused, misused, and refused. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength, and you’ll move forward in victory on the path of life He’s prepared just for you!!!
Have a blessed Monday and an awesome week Everyone. 😀 -
“It’s Time to Plant”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! Another weekend has arrived on our doorstep.
Hallelujah!!!! 😀One of the scriptures I read this morning came from 1 Peter 1:23 and it says: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.”
You know, speaking for myself and the worldly life I lived in the past, allows me to speak the Word of God without any conviction. You see, I’m a living proof a walking testimony when I say, you won’t really get excited about the Word of God until you realize that it’s more than just a collection of divinely inspired promises. It’s a living force that literally carries within it, the power to make those promises to become a reality in your life.
Now the question that stands at hand is: Is it tough for you to believe such a thing is possible? Well if you said yes, then I say to you Beloved, “IT SHOULDN’T BE.” You see, you see it happen in the natural world all the time.
Allow me to give you a quick example – If I were to put a watermelon seed in your hand and tell you that within that tiny, dry seed lies the power to produce a stalk thousands of times bigger than the seed, to produce leaves and roots and a round or oval shaped, green watermelon, you wouldn’t have any trouble believing that, would you? That’s because, you know from experience that even though that little seed doesn’t look like a watermelon factory, but, somehow, given the right environment, it will become one.
Beloved, Jesus says the Word of God works by that same principle. There’s miraculous power within it. It’s a seed that, once planted by faith in a human heart (mind and emotions), will produce more blessings than you can imagine. 😀
Beloved, once you grasp that, you’ll get extremely excited about the Word of God. That’s what happened to me. 😀
Over 20 years ago, I caught a glimpse of what that Word could do. I caught a glimpse of the power within it. Before long, I had a Bible in every room of my house, a Bible in my car, and a tape player or a Christian television program and gospel music playing nearly all the time.
I spent every possible moment in the Word of God because I wanted the power of that Word inside me more than I wanted anything else in the world. I knew it would blow the limits off my life. I’m speaking of limits that had held me back and kept me down for years. I knew that when I read it, I wasn’t just reading, I was planting seeds. Seeds of prosperity, seeds of health, seeds of protection and seeds of victory for every area of my life.
Beloved, this weekend, don’t treat the Word of God like a book. It’s not!!! It’s a spiritual seed that has the supernatural power within it to produce the harvest of a lifetime. This weekend, get excited about it and start planting now!!!! 😀
Have a blessed Weekend Everyone!!! 😀
