Hey there, Welcome to Your Daily Dose of God!
Feeling overwhelmed by life's struggles? You're not alone, and you've come to the right place. Here, you'll find comfort, hope, and a daily dose of motivation to strengthen your walk with God.
There was a time when I felt hopeless, lonely, and frustrated. During those moments, I started writing these devotions with the Holy Spirit's guidance. They brought me peace and hope, and I want to share that same comfort with you.
Jesus, while speaking to the multitude, used the lifestyle of the Scribes and Pharisees as an illustration to bring across His message with clarity. The Scribes and Pharisees appeared righteous to men, but inwardly they were filled with iniquities and uncleanness. They were more concerned about religion and obeying the rules and laws of man than living a righteous life, rather than ensuring that their hearts were clean. The life some of us unveil is similar to that of the Scribes and Pharisees. Our outward appearance attracts and looks appealing to the eyes of our onlookers, but what will they see when they gaze at the inside? As a people, we are drawn to the outward beauty, beguiled by our natural inception and the lust of the eyes. Can we not see that the beauty without should also be within? We often select, hire, marry, and cling to people based on external image but miss the much more important beauty. We look at what we see on the outside, but God sees the heart, where all the hidden things lie. Outwardly, we may look righteous to the world, but inwardly, we may be a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. But woe unto us if we make our external appearance attractive, yet internally, our hearts are consumed with filth, bitterness, anger, self-centeredness, envy, spitefulness, hatred, mercilessness, and unkindness.
Let us Pray:
Merciful, wonderful, Saviour, our blessed redeemer and friend, great are you, Lord, and greatly to be praised. Father, we give you thanks, mighty God, for this new day, a day in which we are privileged to come to the throne of grace. Gracious God, we recognize that our thoughts, desires, and actions are not always in alignment with your will. Father, you know the state of our hearts, the things we conceal from men but cannot hide from you. God of grace and mercies, we have allowed impurities to tarnish our hearts and contaminate the relationship we have with you. Mighty One, search our vessels this morning, the inner core of our being, and wash us from the inside out. Almighty God, take dominion power over our hearts to strip, cleanse, and purify us of every deceitful, filthy, deceptive thought that dwells within us. Lord, you are permitted to have your way in us this day; work on us until you are satisfied with the finished product in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Good morning Day of Testimony- Learning to Depend on Jesus Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all your ways ac acknowledged him, and he shall direct thy path. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Worship song: Learning to Lean on Jesus Personal Testimony: Looking back on my journey, I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for where the Lord brought me. Without his boundless grace, I truly would have been lost. His grace is truly sufficient for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Each struggle I face reveals my deep need for Him, and in every moment of lack, He reminds me that He is my ultimate provider. When I feel weary, the gentle hands of Jesus keep me steady and strong. Every hardship I encounter brings me closer to realizing God's abundant goodness and faithfulness." I gladly boast in my weaknesses, knowing it is through them that the power of Christ shines the brightest. Learnin...
Good morning Scripture reading: St Luke 4:16 Worship song: The Heart of Worship Meditation: It is customary for believers in Christ to gather in synagogues and places of worship at least once weekly to fellowship, praise, and honor God, our Creator. These religious practices, if performed without genuine desire and heart engagement, can become mere routines, detached from a life pleasing to God and a desire to glorify and submit to Him. Matthew 15:8 is a reminder that outward expression of faith must align with a heart that is connected with God. When our lives are governed by customary rituals, we become complacent, and the purpose of our worship loses its true value because we are committed to following a routine rather than seeking to develop a closer relationship with God. Our prayers are mere words uttered from our lips with no inclination from the Holy Spirit. We read the word of God but lack the wisdom to co...
Good morning Day of prayer - Depending on God I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2 Worship song: Jesus We're Depending on You Let us pray: Dependable, capable, and adorable God, I have learned to lean and depend on you to supply my needs according to your riches in glory. You are my strength and my shepherd, I lack nothing. All my help comes from You, Lord, so I put my trust in You. Daily, you provided shelter, divine blood courage, and protection for which I am extremely grateful. Lord, you have calmed the biosterous storms, kept me safe from danger, and allowed me to dance to the rhythm of your faithfulness. Amid adversity and uncertainty, you grant me hope, peace, and happiness. In my distress, your presence calms my anxieties and fears. ...
Good morning Scripture: Matthew 6::25-33 Worship song: I Desire Jesus Meditation: What is your greatest desire in life? Is it for worldly gain or the Kingdom of Christ? Your desire to know more about Jesus Christ should be your priority over earthly pursuits. The ultimate aspiration of every believer is to deepen their relationship with Christ and follow the pathway of righteousness. As followers of Christ, we must diligently study God's word to gain knowledge and a profound understanding of his will. Our desire must be to submit fully and surrender to God, our Master. Reflect on King Solomon's testimony. After experiencing the heights of worldly success, he realized that without a connection to God and a spiritual purpose, even the greatest achievements and pleasures are ultimately meaningless and lead to a sense of emptiness and weariness. King Solomon confessed that all his gain was vanity and vexation of spirit. While we...
