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.
The disregard for the temple of God was evident among some
Jews in Jerusalem as they assembled in the house of God with their merchants,
advertising and trading them for money. Their parade did not fascinate Jesus,
for he was rather angry and disappointed with their display of disdain for his
holy temple. Imagine how Jesus must have felt to witness his temple filled with
animals for sale. Jesus made a scourge of cord (a whip) and drove the animals
from the temple. He spoke with power and authority as he drove from the temple
the traders who were engaged in self-gain rather than ministering to sinners.
These Jews were making God's house a house of merchandise, having their minds
filled with care about worldly business for the love of gain. How do you treat the
house of God? Are you using it to parade your merchandise for your gain, or are
you using it to worship, praise, and gain souls for His kingdom? If you are
using the house of God for self-gain, prepare to face the consequences of your
actions. The Jews chose to meddle in an act that was forbidden in the house of
God. Are you doing the same?
Let us pray:
Omnipotent, omnipresent, most holy Father, I present my body as a living sacrifice unto you, O God, the temple which houses my soul, and I must, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, keep it holy and spotless. Abba, Father, if you find anything on display in your temple that is prohibited, God, I ask that you drive them out and purify your temple for your glory and honor. Almighty God, slay selfish desires, selfish gain, self-indulgence, and self-righteousness, and let your name be glorified. Uproot and cast asunder that which you have not authorized, mighty God. Father, dismantle every driving force that seeks to destroy your holy temple. Jehovah God, change our mindset and bring us to the place where we can acknowledge and recognize your will for our lives and the purpose of the house of God. As children of God, direct our focus to the things that are pleasing to you, O God. Father, roll away the stone that seals our heart, O God, so we can worship you in spirit and truth. Almighty God, there is more to gain from living for you than running after the things of this world, so Lord, help us to divert our attention away from earthly pleasure so we can seek you earnestly through Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and Lord. Amen.
Good morning Day of Testimony- God Favored Me I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Psalms 22:22 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord My Testimony: Although I accepted Jesus Christ in my teenage years, I did not know what it meant to genuinely serve Him. I broke my covenant with Christ, but after several years of wandering through the wilderness, I came to realize that my life is meaningless without Him. Now I am walking in newness of life with Christ as my anchor and my rock. I draw strength from the divine assurance that I am never alone, even amidst the toughest struggles. When I remember the price Christ paid for my redemption, and when I remember that the broad road leads to destruction, I must fight the good fight of faith, hold firm to God's promise of eternal life, whereunto I am called, and have publicly professed before many witnesses. Looking back, m...
Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Praise song: Your Grace and Mercy Meditation: When a cake is covered with frosting, all you can see is the sculptor's intricate design, incorporating precise shapes and patterns to achieve an appealing finish. Cakes that are broken are not discarded but covered so you cannot see the imperfections that lie beneath the attractive decorations of their beautiful frosting. This is what grace does to our brokenness. The grace of God is a redeeming act of love that covers our brokenness like icing on a cake, transforming it into His radiant beauty until we are completely whole. God's grace is sufficient to forgive and cleanse all sins, offering a path to redemption and a new beginning. No matter the condition of our heart, the grace of God who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ will strengthen, establish, and make you perfect. The grace of God is sufficie...
Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Cor. 11:28-31 Worship song: I Give You My Heart Meditation: During 2020, several military checkpoints were established in different areas under enhanced security measures to intercept the free movement of criminals. The things exposed during scrutiny at a checkpoint are quite alarming. A checkpoint is a barrier or manned entrance, typically at a border, where travelers are subject to security checks. It is also a place where vehicles are examined. Jesus Christ has established a checkpoint, and daily we are scrutinized by our Lord Jesus Christ. All our deeds, thoughts, and actions are recorded, whether they are good or evil. It is our personal responsibility to ensure our lives align with the divine requirements of our Lord. This requires examining our hearts, minds, lifestyles, and spiritual connections to ensure they align with God's will. We must confess our sins and repent daily to ...
Good morning - Day of prayer Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 48:1-2 Worship song: How Great Is Our God Let us Pray: Merciful, Wonderful Savior, great are you, Lord, and greatly to be praised. There is none as great as you, Lord. I will lift my voice in gratitude, O God, and praise you for your goodness; you are gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. I will sing of your unsearchable greatness, which far exceeds our wildest imagination. You speak into the darkness, and light appears. Lord, I praise you for your awesome power; you commanded the dust of the ground to form man, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul. Lord, you are undeniably the God of Impossibilities; you command the elements an...
