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 Prayer - For the Church And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. St. Matthew 16:18 Worship song: Upon This Rock Let us Pray: Most righteous, eternal, and merciful God, we submit to your authority knowing you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and praise. Father, I intercede on behalf of the churches; the genuine worshippers and the ones leading your children astray. I pray, O God, for a holy visitation upon those who profess to be walking in light but are still walking in the darkness. I pray, Lord God, that the hour will arrive when we all worship you in spirit and truth. Father, we acknowledge that the signs of the times are everywhere. We realize that many false prophets have risen up among us creating confusion by spreading false teachings. Lord, these false teachers have found themselves among the body of Christ appearing a...
Good morning Day for Testimony - Left Behind Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. St. Matthew 24: 40-41 Worship song: I pray We'll Be Ready Personal Testimony: My recent awareness of others sharing rapture experiences has brought to memory a vivid vision from my past. During my teenage years, I witnessed a celestial event in which the clouds burst open, revealing the appearance of the Son of God, surrounded by a bright light, looking down on the earth while people were busy ascending. In that moment, my family was taken upward, and I was left behind, weeping bitterly. Though it was just a dream, the thought of being left behind by God and abandoned by my loved ones was profoundly traumatic, leaving me with a crippling awareness of the possibility of rejection caused by a life not totally surrendered to God. ...
Good morning Scripture: 1 Kings 22: 48-53 Worship song: Spirit of the Living God Meditation: Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king of Judah and served Jerusalem for twenty-five years, following in the footsteps of his father Asa. Jehoshaphat worshipped not the gods of his ancestors but sought the Lord God of his father, Asa, and walked according to God's commands. Therefore, the Lord was with Jehoshaphat and gave him control over Judah, and all the people brought him gifts so that he became extremely wealthy. After his father's death, he joined an alliance with Israel's King Ahaziah to make ships in Ezion-Geber. Jehoshaphat’s desire to build ships was so that he could get gold from Ophir, but the fleet of ships was destroyed by the Lord in Ezion-Geber before they set sail to Tarshish because he chose to work with someone who worshiped foreign gods. The king of Israel, Ahaziah, had done wickedness in the sight of Go...
Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 7:14 Worship song: If My People Meditation: After the dedication of the temple, the Lord appeared to Solomon with a covenant promise. In this profound message to the Israelites, God promised to heal their land and forgive their transgressions a divine covenant that comes with conditions. In return for their freedom, God specified four conditions that must be fulfilled by the Israelites. The first recommendation was for the Israelites to humble themselves before God and acknowledge their dependence on him. Secondly, they were to communicate with God through fervent prayer. Thirdly, seek and pursue a deeper relationship with God and align their lives to his will. And the fourth recommendation was to recognize and take responsibility for their sins, making a conscious choice to change their behavior and seek God's forgiveness. This scripture states that when...
