Standing Strong in the City of Giants

C H O F Ministry: Advancing God’s Kingdom Through Innovative Education and Transformation.

Wisdom Whispers: “Your surroundings may be towering, but when God is your foundation, you will never be overshadowed.” – Bishop, W. F. Houston Jr. ✝️Divine Revelation (KJV Scripture) 📖  Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”  Our Philosophical Term for Today 🏛️  Areté (Greek: ἀρετή) — Meaning: excellence, virtue, and living up to one’s highest potential. In the biblical sense, it’s walking in alignment with God’s design for your life, no matter the pressure around you. Bishop Houston’s Personal Reflection ✍️ I love this photo of me standing behind my beautiful and powerful blessing, with an even bigger Cleveland skyline in the background. As I look at this picture, I'm reminded that life will put you in places that will overwhelm you. In fact, at times, it will throw you into circles, situations, or locations that can be very intimidating. However, when you stand on the platform of God's Word, your confidence is not based on your position, your possessions, or your surroundings, but rather on the solid Rock of Christ. 🌈Bishop Houston’s Point Beloved, here’s my point:  The world is a land of “giants”—systems, powers, and challenges that seek to dwarf and diminish our calling. The skyline may represent opportunity, but it can also represent the crushing weight of cultural pressure. In times like these, the question isn’t whether you belong there—it’s whether you’ll stand in the confidence that God put you there. David stood before Goliath, without armor, but with unshakable faith. So when you step into the city of giants—whether in business, ministry, or personal growth—remember, your victory won’t come based on your horsepower, or your status, or your resources. It comes from the One who called you. C H O F Throne Room Decrees (Say It, Then See It)  Bishop Houston:  I stand tall because God is my strength. People: I will not be overshadowed, for the Lord is my light. 🧭  Live the Word Today

• Identify one “giant” you’ve been hesitant to face.

• Speak Psalm 27:1 over it three times today.

• Walk into that space—whether physical or spiritual—with your head held high, knowing God sent you there. 💻 Digital Discipleship Tip  Post with purpose: Every image you share should point back to God’s glory, not just your story. 🙏🏿Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:   Heavenly Father 👑, we thank You for being our strength in the midst of towering challenges.

In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory.
