The Home - Day by Day with Billy Graham

The first essential for a happy Christian home is that love must be practiced. Homes that are built on animal attraction and lust are destined to crumble and fall. Love is the cohesive force that holds the family together. 

True love contains an element of spiritual mystery. It embodies loyalty, reverence, and understanding. Love imposes a tremendous responsibility on all members of a family, but it is a responsibility accompanied by glorious rewards. "Love," says the Bible, "even as Christ . . . loved the church, and gave Himself for it." 

How did Christ love the church? He loved it despite its faults, its mistakes, and its weaknesses. True love does not fail. It loves despite personality defects, physical blemishes, and mental quirks. Love is deep, abiding, and eternal. Nothing can bring a sense of security into the home as true love can.

Daily Prayer

Help me today, to listen, to love and care for my loved ones with a heart that is made sensitive by You, Jesus.

Text: 1Corinthians 13:8

Audio Download: Risen King - Olawoyin Folajimi

Olawoyin Folajimi a.k.a Hassel is out with a new track RISEN KING after his much celebrated rap cover to Tye Tribbett’s What can I do. He strongly believes in God’s perfect plan for humanity as clearly revealed in the Gospel of Jesus and thus makes songs that tell of this greatness made available to man at Christ’s expense.

Finding our identification in everything that Jesus accomplished and who He is today is the basis of Christianity. It is through His Resurrection that we are begotten into a living Hope. His resurrection was ours (because he was there for us as us) and the life by His resurrection released us from spiritual death and the dominion of the Devil. 

We received freedom as a possession and acceptance in the beloved. On this note, we rejoice for the Victory that was for us won, we rejoice because His resurrection gives meaning to all that we believe.

This song is a Blessing!!!

Assurance of His Love - DAY BY DAY WITH BILLY GRAHAM

Today many people are living in the bondage of fear. In a recent study a psychiatrist said that the greatest problem facing his patients was fear. Fear of going insane, committing suicide, being alone, or fear of heart disease, cancer, disaster, or death. We are becoming a nation of fearful people. Down through the centuries in times of trouble, temptation, trial, bereavement, and crisis, God has brought courage to the hearts of those who love Him. The Bible is crowded with assurances of God's help and comfort in every kind of trouble which might cause fears to arise in the human heart. Today the Christian can come to the Scriptures with full assurance that God is going to deliver the person who puts his trust and confidence in God. Christians can look into the future with promise, hope, and joy, and without fear, discouragement, or despondency.

Daily Prayer

Your assurances of love still the fears of my heart, Lord.

Text:    Psalms 27:1

A Simple Message - Day by day with Billy Graham

The great Swiss theologian, Dr. Karl Barth, was probably in his generation the greatest theologian in the world, and a great philosopher as well. I did not always agree with him, but he was my friend and I respected him. 

While he was in this country, a student at one of the seminaries said, "Dr. Barth, what is the greatest truth that ever crossed your mind?" All the seminary students were sitting on the edge of their seats to hear some great, profound, deep, complicated answer. 

Dr. Barth slowly raised his great shaggy gray head and looked at the student and said, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."

Daily Prayer

Lord Jesus, may I always keep the knowledge of Your love in true simplicity-unencumbered by much learning. Thank You for loving me.

John 15:9

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

The Secret Of Real Living - Day by Day with Billy Graham

Some Christians have learned little of a daily devotional life. Some time ago a policeman asked me what the secret of victorious living was. I told him that there is no magic formula that can be pronounced. If any word could describe it, I would say surrender. The second word I would say would be devotion. Nothing can take the place of a daily devotional life with Christ. Your quiet time, your prayer time, the time you spend in the Word, is absolutely essential for a happy Christian life. You cannot possibly be a happy, dynamic, and powerful Christian apart from a daily walk with Christ. Christ is calling Christians today to cleansing, to dedication, to consecration, and to full surrender. It will make the difference between success and failure in your spiritual life. It will make the difference between being helped and helping others. It will make a difference in your habits, in your prayer life, in your Bible reading, in your giving, in your testimony, and in your church membership. This is the Christian hour of decision!

 

Daily Prayer

I long for a deeper devotional life, living Lord. May I consecrate myself completely to You.

FACTORS WHICH ENCOURAGE DILIGENCE

FACTORS WHICH ENCOURAGE DILIGENCE

 MOTIVATION: 

The biggest and most available source of motivation you have and will ever have is YOU, yes you. People or things might motivate you but it’s just for a while and the rest lies in your hands. The bible says …and David encouraged himself in the Lord; it doesn’t matter how discouraging or frustrating the situation you’re in now is, just stay positive and stay motivated.

Learn to venture into endeavors you’re passionate about, things you love doing because that will aid your motivation tank to stay full.

Setting a goal or target is equally an agent of motivation. There’s an old saying which says ‘when the   purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable’. When you have a target you’re working hard to achieve, it’s difficult to get discouraged, hence, when the purpose of a business is not known, discouragement is inevitable.

You want to be diligent? Then, stay motivated! Don’t Quit!!

DISCIPLINE:

An undisciplined man is an irresponsible fellow and can never be diligent in anything. Indiscipline is a sworn enemy of success and it fervently wars against wealth creation. Show me a disciplined man and I will show you a wealthy man.

Discipline is simply defined as being self controlled, knowing what and what not to do at every point in time and knowing how to react or treat customers/business partners even when pushed to the wall. Being resolute in your decisions even when it is not easy to achieve depicts discipline.

In all your dealings, be disciplined, always be punctual, be accountable, listen more, talk less. Manage your profits with integrity; only spend on what you actually need because an extravagant lifestyle is a luxury for a disciplined man.

Where Motivation fails you, Discipline will definitely keep you.

CONCENTRATION:

A wise man once said “distraction is a game”. You can choose to stay focused or get distracted knowing that the distracted one is the person who loses at the end. Concentration is the act of absolutely focusing on something and determining to see it get to a desired height. Distraction is a sure path to failure because a distracted person can never achieve a thing.

When a goal is set, the maximum concentration given to it is directly proportional to the outcome expected. This is why you have to set goals/targets, they give you something to focus on, and hence you’re more concentrated.

Getting in so many things at a time will make you lose focus, so learn to take it one step at a time for maximum concentration and invariably maximum result.

RESPONSIBILITY:

This is the state or ability of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one’s power, control or management.

In all your endeavors on daily basis, you should be responsible for every action or inaction you take and likewise, responsible for your mess.

Being responsible makes you less distracted, it helps you think about what you do before you do them. Your deeds and misdeeds show how responsible or irresponsible you are therefore, there's need for caution.

Your dreams depend on your responsibility to thrive, so don’t fail your generation due to your irresponsibility. People are looking up to you, waiting to share your success story, so don’t you disappoint them.
