*DAILY DEW 12/MAY/2022* *THE MOUNTAIN OF FAMILY* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"[Let your] love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good. Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord."* (Romans 12:9-11(Amplified)) _Bible Insight:_ What else makes a family strong and able to influence the society? 4. Healthy communication is key. Intentionally create an atmosphere for a healthy communication, between parents and children, between spouses, and between spouses and in-laws and/or (other) third parties. Healthy communication is the lifeblood of love and marriage. As we learn biblical habits, the words we speak will make impact. Always bear in mind that Words that have been uttered can make or mar a home. _The How of healthy communication_ 1. Share your feelings honestly. 2.Learn to give compliments and affirmation 3. Learn to NOT apportion blame but develop solutions. 4. Develop a win win situation in your arguments and discussion. When an argument last too long because you want to win, someone is hurt. 5. Don't shout people down. Give freedom of expression. A home that practices this, will be stronger, better and bigger in the face of adversities, thereby being more influential. 5. Build trust. To be a family of positive influence, deliberately, consciously and painstakingly do things that build trust, and run away from things that cause cracks on the wall of trust. No family is immune to problems. Problems shake families but a family remains invincible and unshakable when there is a strong level of trust, consistent communication, love, commitment to each other, and spiritual awareness and alignment _MEDITATION:_ *"If you fail in the day of adversity your strength is weak"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
