C H O F Ministry: "Authentic, Genuine, Inspiring"

Greetings, my fellow warriors in Christ! May God grant you strength and discernment as we navigate the complexities of human relationships and seek to walk in integrity and truth. ✨

"Beware of those who wear a mask of friendship while harboring a heart of malice. Their words may be sweet, but their actions are poison."
– Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr. ✝️ 

Divine Revelation: Psalm 55:21 – "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords." 📖   

Our Philosophical Term For Today: "Dolos" (δόλος) (Greek) 🏛️ Meaning: "Deceit, treachery, guile." This word captures the essence of those who operate in duplicity, hiding their true intentions behind a façade of charm and friendship.

🤔 I've encountered individuals in ministry who, while outwardly professing loyalty and support, secretly worked to undermine and betray. Their words were honeyed, but their actions were laced with venom. These experiences, though painful, taught me the importance of discernment and the need to guard my heart against those who operate in dolos. 

🌈Beloved, it is a sad reality that we may encounter two-faced individuals in our lives. But we must not allow their deceit to poison our spirits or dim our light. Instead, let us cling to the truth of God's Word, cultivate discernment through prayer, and surround ourselves with genuine and trustworthy relationships. Remember, God sees all, and He will vindicate those who walk in integrity. 

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

Heavenly Father, 👑 we pray for protection from those who seek to harm us with their deceit and treachery. Grant us wisdom to discern their true intentions and strength to stand firm in our faith. Surround us with genuine relationships that uplift and encourage us on our journey. In Jesus' mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Standing with you in truth and integrity, Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., praying for your protection from the venom of deceit.
