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. ...

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not (Galatians 6:9).
Some people get troubled, almost to the point of despondency when it
seems they haven’t been able to achieve their goals for success within a
given time frame. Don’t be that way! When you get under pressure
because of what you want to accomplish within a certain time, you become
a slave to time. Use and invest your time wisely, but don’t be a slave
to time.
Moses had this in mind when he prayed to the Lord to “…teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).
Each day you live is an opportunity to accomplish so much, so schedule
your day properly. Live your best every day. Do what you must do in
pursuit of your God-given purpose, and trust the power of God’s Spirit
to put you over. But while at it, be conscious that you live in
eternity—God’s realm of life where time is an interruption.
Furthermore, success is relative; in other words, it’s measured at
different stages. So, don’t become miserable just because you haven’t
seen all the results you want. Review where you are at the moment and
make the necessary adjustments; imbibe the required learnings and forge
ahead.
Success is also by grace; therefore, be more conscious of the
grace-advantage; God’s divine ability to cause you to excel beyond your
dreams. Psalm 37:4-5
says, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the
desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.”
Nothing is too difficult for, or impossible with, the Lord (Jeremiah 32:27). Therefore, trust Him; He’s a restorer of time and of wasted years (Joel 2:25).
Trust His ability to make you all He desires for you to be. He’s more
passionate about your success than you could ever be. He can do for you
or cause you to achieve in a second, what naturally should have taken
you five or ten years to achieve. Therefore, stand firm on His Word and
refuse to gripe or panic about your goals and dreams.
CONFESSION
The Lord makes all things beautiful in His time and has perfected all
that concerns me. I enjoy my days in prosperity and abundance as I
fulfil my destiny in Christ. My path is as the shining light that shines
brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Hallelujah!

have need of all these things. ||
