  • “There’s Power When We’re Weak”

    Monday 7 29 2019 Let Us Pray Corinthians 12 9

    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… 😀

    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 Monday. 😀

  • “Trouble Doesn’t Last Always”

    Monday 7 29 2019 Let Us Pray James 1 2
    Praise the Lord Beloved – Happy Monday!!! 😀

    Beloved, isn’t it incredible how often God’s Word seems to dismissive conformist, and turn earthly perceptions upside down? The world says the people that are strong – powerful are to be revered, privileged and to be treated with more dignity while the weak – feeble are to be pretty much ignored or disregarded. But God says the strong – powerful will become weak – feeble and the weak – feeble will become strong – powerful. The world says the first are primary because they are the finest and don’t worry or consider those that are pulling up the rear. But God says, in His kingdom, the first will not be primary but least and those that are considered pulling up the rear will be considered primary. The world says the self-effacing should be overlooked while the established – dignified, high maintenance should be glorified and highly honored. But God sees it the reverse way. He says the shamed-humiliated won’t be overlooked and they will be established and highly honored while the established – dignified, high maintenance will be shamed-humiliated.

    Beloved, God tells us that worrying, and stressing isn’t actually a bad thing at all, but a beautiful thing. Bad things are beautiful because bad things present an opportunity for joy. God instructs us not to look at complications as the world does, but as a chance to grow in our faith. Let us increase our trust in Him, be a Godly example to others, change a life, or better yet, help save a life. God says trouble equals joy. Beloved, trouble doesn’t last always!!! 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 Magnificent Monday and a God Revering Week. 😀

  • “Remembering The Weak”

    Bishop Houston's Monday Morning Blog Picture Pride

    You know every chance I get I witness in the malls, at Walmart, grocery stores Dollar stores you name it and have a little time “it’s all about the wonderful name of Jesus.” As a Believer in Christ it can be both physically and mentally taxing. Some say that working in a Christian ministry is hard because the constant mental spiritual routine is tedious. But it’s never too monotonous to a person who delights in teaching and inspiring others with informative biblical principles. Every day is a new day filled with challenges. Being a minister, mental durability and competence isn’t requested it’s required, it’s essential and crucial, that’s because being a minister I come into contact daily with unbelievers, doubters, and new comers to the faith. There’s never a time they don’t make requests or stubbornly raise questions. The thought that I’m a Christian never leaves my mind when I’m doing what God called me to do. Many say I look real stern, at times that may be my outer persona, but most of the time it’s because I’m moved by everyone’s situation(s) I come into contact, especially the people that has a lack of education and guidance. You see, some don’t know how to read or write, and because of their illiteracy they’re taken advantage of by others. Some grew up without a parent and seek out a need to belong, so they get involved in gangs.

    In Matthew 5:7 it says: “Always try to remember to be merciful and you shall be blessed and also receive mercy.” Beloved, mercy isn’t only for the righteous it’s especially needed by us sinners.

    Have a blessed Week Everyone.
