Praise the Lord, valiant warriors of faith! May you seize the power of choice today, shaping your destiny by aligning every decision with God’s divine plan. ✨

“We are not passive spectators in our own story—our choices today forge the testimony of tomorrow.” — Bishop W. F. Houston Jr. ✝️ 

Divine Revelation: Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV) 📖 

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

Our Philosophical Term For Today: “Exousia” (ἐξουσία) (Greek) 🏛️

Meaning: “Authority or power.” In a spiritual context, exousia refers to the God-given capacity to govern one’s life according to divine will, shaping both the present and the future by faith-driven choices.

🤔 I remember a time when I felt overwhelmed by my past. It seemed every misstep defined who I was becoming. Yet, as I meditated on Deuteronomy 30:19, I realized God had already granted me exousia: the authority to choose life-giving paths instead of remaining in regret. Day by day, I began making intentional choices—aligning my thoughts, habits, and priorities with God’s Word. Through grace, I experienced a newfound freedom, recognizing that today’s commitments could redeem yesterday’s stumbles and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.

🌈 Beloved, the life you live today indeed stems from decisions made in the past. But here’s the profound truth: in Christ, you hold exousia—the power to chart a renewed course! Your destiny isn’t sealed by old failures; it’s shaped by present faithfulness. Let God’s promises guide each step you take. Embrace His power to create a better future for you, your family, and all those within your sphere of influence. 

Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:

Heavenly Father, 👑 thank You for endowing us with holy exousia. Teach us to wield this authority with humility and wisdom. May our present choices reflect our trust in You, redeeming past mistakes and unlocking a future of hope. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., and I’m walking beside you in renewed fellowship.
