Manage episode 322255860 series 3324614
Tune in as we review a biblical concept that you may have overlooked during the pandemic. Apostle Ed Johnson shares a keen revelation from Genesis 13:2 that is wrapped around the Abrahamic blessing that all believers have access to, during a famine or not!
Born Edward Lee Johnson, Jr., Bishop Ed – as he is affectionately called - is a native Houstonian. He is the son of Deacon Edward L. and Erma Johnson, Sr. He attended M. B. Smiley High School, Texas Southern University, and is a certified Christian Counselor. He is the husband of Pastor Marilyn Johnson and the proud father of Chãs Braxton, Christal Joi, Edward III (Tre’), and Kyle Maxwell. Bishop Ed is the founder and president of Ed Johnson International Ministries, which includes several ministries and conferences: Woman You Have Dominion Too Conference, Next Life Seminar, Church Music Symposium, Church Ministry Leaders Workshop, and more.
Bishop Ed is the founding and senior pastor of Christ Worship Center (Houston, Texas), serving with Pastor Marilyn for over 20 years. The ministry has seen its ups and downs, but the preaching and teaching of Bishop Ed have never wavered from the holy and sanctified living required of all believers.
Bishop is an accomplished singer, songwriter, musician, and choir director, appearing on stage with many renowned gospel artists throughout the years. In the early ’90s, he formed a group called “Ed Johnson & Praise,” which attained prominence with the original recording of “Where Are The Christians?” That year at the Texas Gospel Music Awards, they were nominated in three categories and won two, Group of the Year and Song of the Year. Bishop has been awarded: Legend’s Award (by Kim Burrell), Living Legend’s Award (by the Houston Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America), They Gave Us Gospel and many others.
Walking with God since the age of 9, Bishop Ed’s fervor for God and the things of God has only grown through the years. He has spent hours in the presence of God, praying, in the Word of God, and fellowshipping with the Spirit to prove the anointing on his life; it is evident once you hear him literally break the bread of life. Bishop attributes his love for the Word of God to his avid attendance of Sunday School and Bible Training Sessions during his youth and young adult years. He has also experienced great trials and spiritual attacks by the powers of darkness (s and naturally) but has weathered every storm by the Grace of God. It is obvious in his delivery of the Word.
Bishop has recently published his first book entitled “Righteous & Rich”, where he explores the spiritual and natural inheritance of God’s provision for His Children. He dares to ask the questions of why we believe what we believe and how exactly does that belief fit into the promises of God. Bishop says, “Are we living the life preachers and teachers have instructed us into, or are we living the life that God ordained for us? Because there is a difference!” People all over the country have been sharing their eye-opening experiences after reading the book.
The love that Bishop Ed has for God is evident in the manner he handles God’s people. He is constantly seeking ways to establish the people of God in the service of God. He is an ordained apostle, bishop, and pastor. He is an entrepreneur, published author, husband, father, friend, musician, visionary, and a man who loves and fears God. His life’s mission is to prepare the saints for the world to come! For more info go to www.edjohnsonministries.com.
