YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Day of Prayer - Divine Coverage But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. (Psalm 3:3) Worship song: Shelter Me   Let us pray:      Almighty God, You are our rock and shelter in every storm. You, O God, are our hiding place, and the Keeper of our souls. We thank You, Lord, for Your unwavering faithfulness in times of tribulation. You are our refuge and our fortress, our God in whom we trust.       Arise, O LORD; save us, O my God: from our enemies. Stand on our behalf; break the forces trying to steal our time, peace, and destiny. Father, defeat every weapon formed against our progress, and silence every accusation in the spirit realm. Plead our cause, O Lord; fight against those who fight against us. Lord, step into our situation as our advocate. We dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and we rest safely under Your wings. Remind us, Lord, that opposition is no defeat with You b...

Good morning Scripture: 1 Kings 18:41-46 Worship song: Baba (Let it Rain)   Meditation:      Elijah was a man subject to the same passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth for the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain. Elijah had prayed the drought into existence. Now, it was time for the drought to end. He began to petition the God of the universe for rain. Not a little rain, but enough rain to quench the thirst of the land. After Elijah's seventh request, rain came in abundance. His earnest and sincere prayer for rain was heard, and God answered by sending rain upon the land. Elijah prayed until he received an answer.       Today, we are reminded to pray fervently. Whatever drought or dry season you may be facing, whether spiritual or physical, let your request be made known to God, who still hears and answers prayer. Remember the prom...

Good morning Scripture reading: Zechariah 4:1-10 Worship song: Never Lost   M ed itation:      Zerubbabel, governor of Judah by the proclamation of King Cyrus, began rebuilding the city. However, as they started constructing the house of the Lord, the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin rose against them. Upon receiving a letter, Persian King Artaxerxes ordered the construction in the city to halt immediately. In adherence to this royal decree, Zerubbabel and his builders ceased all construction on the city and the temple.       Several years later, Zechariah was visited by an angel of the Lord, who proclaimed that the hand of Zerubbabel shall complete the work that he had begun and nothing will prevent its completion. Even if unforeseen delays in your project, tasks, or assignments have occurred, do not succumb to despair or grow weary. Challenges and financial difficulties may have hindered your progress; however, a new beginning is still ...

Good morning   Scripture reading: Matthew 18:19-20 Worship song: Go   Meditation:      The mandate for mission is an authoritative command, a divine commission that is non-negotiable for believers to spread the gospel and make disciples. Those who are sent by God are commissioned to go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things as commanded by God. Jesus told his followers to travel everywhere and share the good news with everyone, adding that faith and baptism bring salvation, while rejecting the message leads to condemnation (St. Mark 16:15-16).       We are commissioned to declare the glory of the Lord among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations, for great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Jonah was sent to proclaim the gospel to the people of Nineveh, a direct order to fulfill God's mission. One of our key missions i...

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 9:9-13 Worship song: Softly and Tenderly   Meditation:      Matthew, a collector of internal revenue, was diligently collecting taxes as is customary; however, when Jesus called, he immediately left everything behind and followed him. The Pharisees perceived tax collectors as adversaries to be avoided. Jesus regarded them as souls in need of spiritual healing. While the Pharisees imposed strict rules on tax collectors, Jesus extended genuine forgiveness and offered a fresh beginning. Jesus came to minister healing to the afflicted, sight to the blind, and redemption to all sinners.       Ezekiel 33:11 reminds us that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but desires them to turn from their evil ways and choose life. If Jesus is calling you, please do not hesitate; do not harden your hearts. Instead, let go of your worldly pursuit and self-righteousness, and you will find pardon and acce...

Good morning Scripture reading: Jonah 1:7-17 Worship song: Whom Shall I Fear   Meditation:      After the mariners' prayer to their respective gods failed, they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. They gently confronted him and discovered he was running from the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. The sailors were overwhelmed with fear, yet upon the request of Jonah, they reluctantly threw him overboard into the raging sea. Immediately, the boisterous tempest ceased. Witnessing God's sovereignty over nature, the sailors moved from frantic panic to profound reverence, fearing the Lord exceedingly, offering sacrifices, and making vows to Him.       The sailors' reverence for God is a profound reminder that regardless of whom one serves or what one believes, every individual must ultimately render reverence to the sovereignty of God (Philippians 2:10-11). Even though Jonah’s actions inspired the sailors to worship God, he st...

Good morning Scripture reading: Jonah 1:1-6 Worship song: Heavy Load   Meditation:      The mariners sailing to Tarshish made a desperate attempt to safeguard their crew by executing damage-control strategies to prevent the ship from taking on water or sinking. However, their frantic attempts to lighten the vessel were unsuccessful in calming the raging storm, as the sudden tempest was a divine intervention entirely beyond their control. They invoked their gods, but when their false gods failed to respond, they confidently turned to the God of Israel, hoping He would show mercy and save their lives. Like ancient sailors, we often exhaust all options before finally seeking Jesus, the Omniscient and powerful problem solver.       When tragedy strikes, we frequently realize too late that we have placed our trust in modern idols that lack the power to help us. Just as sailors toss heavy cargo into the sea to lighten their ship, we must relea...
