Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook. ...

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16
).
We’ve received the mandate to take the Gospel to the ends of the
earth; it’s a calling for all who are in Christ, and it’s something
you’re to do with courage, conviction and faith. Only the Gospel can
catapult the sinner into salvation and righteousness. It’s only through
the preaching of the Gospel that the righteousness of God can be
unveiled and embraced.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only message that when received,
makes sinners sons of God in a moment of time. Therefore, be ever so
passionate about leading others to salvation. The Bible says those that
turn many to righteousness shall shine as stars forever (Daniel 12:3). Light up your world with the Gospel. Let it be what you live for.
). Light up your world with the Gospel. Let it be what you live for.
2 Corinthians 5:15
says, “And that he died for all, that they which live should not
henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and
rose again.” If you truly believe that Jesus died to save you, then you
must continually live for His glory and lead others to salvation. We’re
in the last days, and the time is short. This isn’t a matter of
convenience. There may be peculiar times, occasions, and places where
you may need to be tactful in preaching the Gospel, but your focus must
always be to lead people everywhere into salvation in Jesus Christ.

We’re His co-labourers and partners, working together with Him to
reach the lost and bring salvation in Christ to every man. In your
sphere of contact, be a burning and a shining light. Devote your life to
reaching others with the Gospel. Keep influencing and impacting your
world positively through the power of God that works in you. He’s
counting on you for the salvation of many in your world. Therefore, be
faithful in leading others to Christ and bringing them to church.
CONFESSION
My life is for the glory of God. Everything I am, everything I do,
and everything I have is pledged for the expansion of God’s Kingdom and
His righteousness. Thus, the blessings of God are manifest in my life,
and His glory revealed in increasing measure as I lead men and women to
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
