TO BELOVED YOUNG HEARTS


 TO BELOVED YOUNG HEARTS

Susanna Wesley has raised up her ten children with good virtues and discipline.Not only did she raise them with the fear of God, she also cultivated good habits and practices in them, which is to be appreciated. 


PRAYER | WORSHIP | STUDY | DISCIPLINE | FOOD | HUMBLE | TRUTH

Some Qualities


India needs God fearing youngsters!

The approach in which Susanna has brought up her children is surprising to many. 
After getting up early in the morning, they had to tell the Lord's Prayer,a whole chapter in Psalms and also complete their prayer before breakfast. They have to read a chapter in the New Testament and a chapter in Psalms at night. Sunday service is a must and participation in the family prayer is compulsory. While studying they should have full concentration and should not leave the room unnecessarily. Permission was not given to leave the house other than holidays. Specific time was allotted for sleep, studies, food and rest.No snacks were allowed other than the three courses of meal.

It is important to have the food without criticizing.
They were not allowed to ask. "I need this or I need that." 



They had to speak courteously at home, they could ask for things humbly and nothing could be achieved by crying. However big the mistake may be, they were forgiven if they spoke the truth. So speaking the truth became a habit for them. By bringing them up in this way, Susanna was able to give only two godly men John Wesley and Thomas Wesley to this world. Only a mother who is God fearing can bring up her children as God fearing people in this world, and make Gospel as the light to shine in this darkened world. If you are God fearing, surely you too can bring about a God fearing generation.

HAPPINESS IN FAMILY LIFE

HAPPINESS IN FAMILY LIFE Some years ago, a redeemed daughter of our Lord was travelling by plane. Sitting by her side was a woman from a foreign country. Refusing the food offere by the air hostess, the foreigner asked for liquor and went on drinking it.    The woman by her side asked, “Why are you drinking without eating any food?” The foreigner replied, “I’m fasting.” The devout daughter of God was greatly surprised   to learn that the woman was at once drinking and fasting. Observing the expression on the face of her neighbor, the foreigner continued, “ I’m not a Christian as you suppose. The god I worship is satan. I fast and pray to Satan to split families, to sow discord between husband and wife and wreck the peace in every family”. These words gave me a rude shock.      When later the daughter of God wrote to convey this to me, my heart became unspeakably heavy. These days the Devil is hell-bent on spoiling the happy relationship betw...

Revival warrior - Duncan Campbell,

We are summarizing these things to be encouraging, so that you can also bring revival in your country. In the list of those revival warriors we are going to see about the incidents happened in the life of Duncan Campbell. He spent many hours in bible reading and prayer. Every day he travelled many miles in his motor cycle and met each one individually and shared the gospel to them. As a result many were saved in the Edinburgh city and accepted Jesus.

In Scotland, without boredom for 25 years, he travelled many miles in two wheeler with prayer to meet every individual alone did not go in vain. Many youngsters started to seek God and pray in groups in different places. Churches were formed. H...

THE GLORY OF FAMILY LIFE

THE GLORY OF FAMILY LIFE If we really want to experience happiness in family life, we should understand its significance. We should know the answer to the following questions: Who started family life? Whats was his aim in doing so? How and to what extent does He help us in our family life?   1)  It was God who started family life!   The way family was started is described in Genesis, the Fist book of the bible. The first wedding took place in the Garden of Eden. It was God our creator and the Marker of Heaven and Earth who conducted the first wedding between the first man Adam and the first woman Eve. The all-wise God who created us never does anything without proper reason. The fact that God Himself started family life shows how important it is. Today many people are people are not alive to its importance.  They think marriage is a mere ceremony conducted in keeping with tradition. Many others suppose that parents are duty-bound to conduct the marriag...
