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 Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord Meditation: When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20). When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...
Day of prayer O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1 Worship song: Thanks Let us pray: Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bo...
Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart Meditation: The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported. Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...
Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less Testimony: When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done. ...
