YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21 Praise song: Jerusalem   Meditation:      This world is unpredictable and full of trials, sadness, and disappointment; nevertheless, we hold firmly to the divine promise of restoration through our Lord. A time is coming when suffering will cease, and God will bring an end to all sorrow, sickness, and death. While we look forward to the future, our focus should be on serving God wholeheartedly and living according to His commandments and precepts. This life is a journey, not our final destination.       For those who place their trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is assured. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive when he shall return shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and be with him forever. As we serve the Lord with gladness, and worship Him in spirit and truth, let us be prepared to meet Him. If you have not yet r...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 17:14-21 Worship song: Who Are You Great Mountain   Meditation:      The emotional story of a desperate father's concern for his son's well-being serves as a reminder that faith is not about evidence; it is about believing and hoping for a favorable outcome despite uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated that faith is sustained by hope, not evidence. At Jesus' command, the tormenting spirit immediately departed, bringing an end to the boy's emotional suffering. The comforting message of Jesus reveals the power through faith to overcome obstacles that seem impossible.       Jesus used mountains as a metaphor to compare the daunting, seemingly impossible obstacles in life, illustrating that with even a tiny amount of unwavering faith, we can overcome challenges that block our path. With a faith anchored in God's power, like a tiny mustard seed, we can overcome the mountain-sized obstacles that disrupt ou...

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 10:1-20 Hymn: Just as I am   Meditation:      Jesus Christ selected ordinary individuals to serve as his disciples; He also endowed them with authority over unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all kinds of sickness and diseases. Among those Jesus chose as his disciples were tax collectors and fishermen. As Jesus commissioned his disciples for service, He provided precise instructions to take the gospel to willing listeners and to the lost sheep.       The disciples were informed that they would encounter some stubborn, self-willed persons, who would reject the gospel. They were sent among the vilest of sinners and advised to exercise wisdom, be harmless, and remain focused on their mission. They were also warned about the persecution they would ultimately face. If you are called to serve, do so with a willing heart, knowing that you are serving a mighty God who keeps His promises. Do not w...

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 8:31-39 Worship song: If God Is For Me   Meditation:      With God on your side, no enemy can truly triumph over you, even when it seems they are succeeding during persecution or tribulation. It may look like they are succeeding when they mock us or threaten us, but God's purpose and support for us are far greater than any force against us. Though we are oppressed and chastised by our adversary, we shall overcome for we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.       Apostle Paul reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amidst human rejection, we can draw strength from the knowledge that God's love is beyond measure and without condition. Do not be dismayed or fear those who are against you for God will never leave you. He will strengthen you and uphold you with His righteous right hand. If God be for us, tell me who can triumph a...

Good morning Day of Testimony- Leave With Urgency And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. St. Matthew 2:13 Praise song: Nearer My God To Thee   Testimony:      The biblical account of the angel instructing Joseph to flee brings to mind a vivid dream I had. I recall waking up feeling frightened, confused, and perplexed because, in the dream, I was commanded to leave my home immediately and take absolutely nothing for the journey. I was not given a destination, only instructions to leave now. Months later, the purpose and mystery of the dream unraveled, becoming crystal clear. Throughout scripture and history, God has used visions and dreams to communicate His plans, warn believers, and reveal what is to come. In Joel 2, the Lord promised ...

Good morning Day of prayer - Comfort and Hope Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. St. Matthew 5: Worship song: Even When It Hurts   Let us pray:      Merciful, Savior, blessed redeemer and Friend, I am profoundly grateful for your loving kindness, tender mercies, abundant grace, and your unwavering faithfulness towards humanity. I thank you, Lord God, because of your great love, we are not consumed, and your compassion never fails. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness, O God. Lord, take me beyond my fear and despair to the safety of your protective presence.       It is me again, Lord, with a burden and I need your divine intervention. Hear my cry, O God, and attend unto my prayer. From the ends of the earth, I cry unto you, O God. Father, I lift to you, the brokenhearted, those battling health issues, the bereaved families, those struggling to overcome fear, those facing difficulties, and those ...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Kings 3:16-28 Worship song: He speaks - wisdom Meditation: Solomon employed divine wisdom to settle the dispute between the woman justly by discerning the truth from deception. Rather than asking God for riches, long life, prosperity, and power to defeat his enemies, Solomon instead asked God for wisdom to lead the people of Israel effectively. God was pleased to grant him more than he requested. Solomon's careful analysis of the critical situation resulted in sound judgment, which in turn informed his decision. The act of falsifying information was with the intent to mislead Solomon into accepting a lie. However, despite their conflicting claims, Solomon used the spirit of discernment to determine the truth. Solomon's wisdom is a divine gift that comes solely from God. In an era where falsehoods are often presented as facts, it is essential to actively seek divine wisdom to evaluate all matters accurately. The narrative reminds us t...
