C H O F Ministry: “Where Scripture Meets Innovation” 🙌🏿 

Greetings, valiant warriors of faith! May today find you enveloped in the liberating grace of our Lord, as we journey together towards true freedom in Him. ✨

"True freedom is not found in the illusion of control, but in the courageous act of surrender to the divine will." – Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr. ✝️ 

Divine Revelation: Matthew 11:28-30 – "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." 📖   

Our Philosophical Term For Today: "Paradidomi" (παραδίδωμι) (Greek) 🏛️

C H O F Ministry Meaning: "To surrender, to yield, to deliver over." This word encapsulates the act of releasing our grip on the need to control and entrusting our lives to God's loving guidance.

🤔I recall a time when I was fiercely determined to orchestrate every aspect of a ministry project. I meticulously planned each detail, convinced that my way was the only way to achieve success. However, unexpected obstacles arose, throwing my carefully constructed plans into disarray. It was in that moment of frustration and surrender that I truly learned the power of paradidomi. By releasing my need for control and trusting in God's plan, I experienced a profound sense of peace and witnessed His hand orchestrate a far greater outcome than I could have ever imagined.

🌈Beloved, the world often tells us that control is power. But true power lies in surrendering our anxieties, fears, and need for control to the One who holds the universe in His hands. When we relinquish our grip on the illusion of control, we open ourselves to the boundless freedom that comes from walking in alignment with God's divine purpose. Embrace the liberating truth of paradidomi and experience the joy of true surrender. 

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

Heavenly Father, 👑 we humbly come before You, acknowledging our limited understanding and our tendency to grasp for control. Teach us the beauty of surrender, the freedom that comes from yielding our will to Yours. Help us to trust in Your perfect plan, even when we don't understand the path ahead. In Jesus' mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Walking in the freedom of surrender with you, Bishop W. F. Houston Jr. praying for your release from the burdens of control!
