"God’s Not Worried—So Why Are We?"
Election Prayer Strategy 2025 https://www.nhop.ca/2025/04/22/gods-not-worried-so-why-are-we/ As election day approaches and political tensions rise, we can rest knowing God is not anxious—His Kingdom does not depend on any government. Scripture reminds us that He directs the hearts of rulers to fulfill His purposes. While government has a role, it cannot fulfill the mission of the church: to bring healing, freedom, and...

What If
Our video this week explores “What if?”. What if, cities, towns, and neighbourhoods across Canada had churches committed to praying and interceding for our nation, our leaders, and the issues that unite and divide us? What if, we were able to do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Do you think we would...

Use of Emergency Act was unreasonable and unlawful
A ruling made by Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley stated that the use of the Emergency’s Act to shut down Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa 2 years ago was unreasonable and unlawful. Mosley said, “to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency and intelligibility – and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.”

Fullness of God makers

Drawing a parallel, just as Moses had to say to God “how can we go if You don’t go with us?”, our posture at NHOP is similar. "How can we enter Parliament Hill if You are not with us?..."
