YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 13: 53-58 Worship song: Cry of the Broken   Meditation:      The fear of rejection is an obstacle that can paralyze our mental state. It has the potential to influence our identity and hinder our progress toward fulfilling our divine purpose. The fear of rejection may lead an individual to avoid situations that could result in rejection. Although you cannot prevent rejection, it can be overcome. Overcoming rejection depends on your beliefs, what you accept, and your interpretation of others' views and opinions. It is possible to dismantle the stronghold of rejection by acknowledging and embracing God's declarations about your identity and who you are in Christ. Recognizing and accepting that God fearfully and wonderfully makes you in his likeness and image, loved, valued, and accepted by Him, can quell the spirit of rejection.       Whenever you feel rejected, do not take it personally and do n...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matt 26 & 27 Worship song: Mercy walked in   Meditation:      Miscarriages of justice and errors of impunity can erode public trust in the criminal justice system and have devastating consequences for individuals, families, and society. There are persons imprisoned, who are wrongfully convicted because of a miscarriage of justice, and there are criminals who are freed because of errors of impunity.       Over 2000 years ago, a false accusation led to the arrest, trial, conviction, and ultimately crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Although he was blameless, full of kindness, compassion, and love, and had no criminal record, he was unjustly condemned to die. Evil intentions were ultimately overruled by divine providence, transforming his death into a means of universal salvation. This was the appointed moment for God to fulfill His pledge, providing a way of salvation for all mankind.     ...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 6:27-28 Worship song: The Jesus Way   Meditation:      Jesus highlights four essential principles in His teachings: love, prayer, blessing others, and doing good. Among His most profound teachings is the call to love our enemies, do good to those who hate us, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us. It is vital that, as children of God, we adhere to Jesus' teachings. His instructions are designed to edify us and help us establish a relationship with him that manifests love for one another. Jesus reminds us that not everyone will love us, bless us, and do good unto us.       Nevertheless, we are called to demonstrate love, bless, pray, and do good unto them. Instead of retaliating against those who harm us, we are encouraged to show love, compassion, and kindness to them. We must relinquish any grudges or resentment against those who wronged us. Loving and forgiving our e...

Good morning Day of Testimony- The Good Old Days But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19   Worship song: Make A Way   Meditation:      Reflecting on my childhood, I   realize that the ability to make the best of a situation constitutes true happiness, rather than merely possessing the best of everything. We did not have much, but we were satisfied and sincerely grateful. On some nights, we had no dinner, and sometimes breakfast was merely dumplings roasted over coal, served with lime leaf tea. To us, lotion was coconut oil, and charcoal was toothpaste. Despite being stuffed with grass and dried banana leaves in flour sacks, our bed was surprisingly comfortable. We spent our evenings playing outdoors until dusk, after which we would gather on the floor, sharing stories by the flickering light of a makeshift kerosene bottle torch. That was a period when families genuinely connected...

Good morning   Day of prayer - Thanksgiving Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalms 100:4 Worship song: Give Thanks   Let us pray:      Sovereign Lord, we acknowledge that none can compare to your matchless worth. You are God alone; no foreign deity nor Baal-zebub, can reign in your stead. This morning I praise you, O God, and worship you as the Almighty, powerful, omnipresent creator of the universe. You are King of all kings and Lord of all lords, the great I am, the Prince of peace, and our Redeeming King. You are worthy, Lord, and deserving of all praise. We are profoundly grateful to you, Lord, for your indescribable gift, which grants us access to the throne of grace.       We thank you wholeheartedly, Lord God, for Your redeeming blood, and Your unconditional, steadfast love that endures forever. We thank you, Lord God, for your faithfulness...

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Samuel 22:1-22 Worship song: Build My Life   Meditation:      King David offered a powerful testimony reflecting on God's unwavering faithfulness in responding to his calls during a distressful period. To highlight his gratitude for God's divine protection, King David recited a victorious psalm of celebration, praising God for delivering him from all his adversaries and dispersing those too mighty for him, including Saul. David glorified God recognizing Him as his fortress, rock, deliverer, shield, refuge, Savior, high tower, and the horn of his salvation.       D avid's acknowledgment and appreciation for God's divine interception of the enemy's strategies should motivate us and cause us to reflect on the divine work of God in our own lives, prompting us to offer sacrificial praises for God's protection and strength. We too must acknowledge God as our rock and fortress, our strong tower and deliverer. J...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 18:1-4 Worship sing: The Greatness of Our God   Meditation:      According to Merriam-Webster, greatness is defined as the quality of being distinguished, or exceptionally skilled, often characterized by superior achievement, impact, or magnitude. It signifies possessing remarkable ability, holding a high rank, or demonstrating outstanding importance, distinction, and influence in a specific field, such as leadership, art, or service. However, from a biblical perspective, the concept of greatness differs from the worldly interpretation.       Jesus teaches that true greatness is exemplified by becoming a servant, distinguished by love, sacrifice, and character, often demonstrated by prioritizing others. The disciples' curiosity led them to enquire who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus response likely came as a surprise when he stated that whoever humbles himself as a little ...
