YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 138 Worship sing: Turning Around For Me   Meditation:      The assurance we have today is that God will faithfully bring to completion everything about our lives and future. He sent His only son, Jesus Christ, not for those who are righteous; but to redeem sinners, restoring us to perfection. He specializes in perfection, giving us beauty for ashes, replacing emotional heaviness with the garment of praise, restoring broken relationships, wounded hearts, and lives marred by sin, transforming a hopeless state into a life of purpose and honor.       God specializes in transforming brokenness into a testament of His glory. No matter what challenges you face, God is actively working through all things to fulfill His purpose for your good. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Change is coming and there is no ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 13 Worship song: Whose Report Will You Believe   Meditation:      According to the LSD Law, the principle of 'majority rules' is a powerful decision-making principle in various contexts, particularly in election proceedings, which determines the outcome. However, this method was not a principle used in the story of the twelve spies. Obeying God's command, in preparation for the conquest, and to make informed strategic decisions, Moses sent agents to assess the strength of the inhabitants and the fertility of the land of Canaan.       Moses disregarded the convincing popular report of the majority and accepted the report of the faithful minority, choosing to trust God's promises over human fear. God assured the Israelites that the land of Canaan was legally theirs to take and occupy. It was the minority's report that shaped the Israelites' destiny. If you have received a report that is not favorable...

Good morning Scripture reading: Numbers 12 Worship song: I'll Walk in Faith   Meditation:      Driven by jealousy, Miriam and Aaron sinned by challenging the authority of Moses, whom God had specifically chosen. By attacking his leadership and marriage, they challenged God's direct appointment. God responded with fury, forcing them to acknowledge the deep and personal relationship he had with Moses.      God is warning against hindering or oppressing those He has designated for a special purpose, asserting that attacking them is attacking Him. We are warned in 1 Chronicles 16 and Psalm 105 not to lay a hand on those whom the Lord has set apart for himself. Despite Miriam's act of rebellion, Moses's compassionate intercession secured her healing and restoration, but not before she endured a week of divine punishment outside the camp. Miriam challenged the divine authority placed upon Moses, but God intervened to maintain order, showing that a pr...

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 6:16-19 Worship song: Break Every Chain   Meditation:      As we know, a tenant who violates a lease agreement or is delinquent with payment faces consequences that range from warnings to eviction. While eviction can have both positive and negative implications depending on one's perspective, it is important to take every precautionary measure necessary to adhere to the agreement. When it comes to our spiritual well-being, we must recognize the similar principles that apply to the unauthorized residents we allow in our hearts.       For too long, our hearts have been held hostage by unholy guests, residing where only the Holy Spirit should abide. We must stand firm on God's principles and take immediate action to evict from our lives the works of the flesh. We must execute the judgment of peace and truth in our gates and purge our hearts of all forms of bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, jealousy, a...

Good morning Scripture reading: Esther 6 -7 Worship song: God Favors Me   Meditation:      When God is for you, who can stand against you? Trusting in God's sovereignty, Mordecai prayed and fasted, allowing the Lord to deliver justice and repay Haman for his wicked plots. In a stunning twist of fate, Haman was summoned by King Ahasuerus to personally lead a parade for Mordecai, shouting out the very praises he had planned for himself. Haman's evil plot to destroy Mordecai was reversed. His plan backfired and he became the victim of his own conspiracy.       When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Do not be afraid of your enemies; fear not the plans of men, remain calm, and rely not on your own strength, but God's sovereign power. Surrender your battles to the Lord and let him fight for you. The God who delivered Mordecai from the gallows is the same God who will rescue you, turni...

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 18:5-12 Worship song: I'll Say of The Lord   Meditation:      Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, along with Moses' wife and two sons, traveled to the Israelites' camp, where Moses was stationed near the mount of God. After a heartfelt greeting with Jethro, Moses confidently shared with great assurance how the Lord had miraculously delivered the Israelites from Pharaoh's oppression, emphasizing his unwavering faithfulness as he sustained them throughout the wilderness. Jethro was greatly impacted by Moses' testimony. Every doubt he had about God's sovereignty was shattered. He was confident that there was no god greater than the Lord God and none above Him. He was exceedingly glad, rejoicing with appreciation for God's loyalty to the Israelites.       Our conversation and shared faith should create an atmosphere that encourages others to believe in and acknowledge God's faithfulness. Our discussions shoul...

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart O God   Meditation:      It is essential to recognize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the moral standards and behaviors of others, which can have a positive or negative impact on us. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If we walk with the wise, we...

Good morning Scripture reading: Proverbs 24:16-19 Worship song: I Will Boast In Christ   Meditation:      We often celebrate the downfall of our enemies in ignorance, but true wisdom advises us against taking satisfaction in the suffering or failure of our enemies. We are called to serve and pray, fulfilling God's will by loving our enemies rather than condemning them or gloating when they stumble. Instead of feeling excited when our enemies stumble, we must sincerely pray for them.       Whatever persecution we encounter at the hands of our enemies, the ultimate response is to earnestly pray. Do not condemn others; leave all vengeance to God. As you ponder these profound words, ask yourself this provocative question: What do you do or say when your enemy stumbles? Do you feel a sense of excitement when you hear about their misfortune? We are cautioned against rejoicing over a fall, lest our actions displease the Lord. Let us pray...

Good morning Testimony- Perseverance   And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9   Worship song: Firm Foundation   Testimony:      During our 21-day prayer and fasting, I recognized what it truly means to trust God and persevere despite difficulties, trials, challenges, opposition, and setbacks. I overcame every roadblock that came my way through God's divine help and perseverance. True perseverance is the relentless, courageous commitment to complete the journey regardless of challenges. Daniel denied himself physical comforts to deepen his spiritual connection. Sincere fasting requires commitment, discipline, and total surrender for without true sacrifice the purpose is defeated for it is meant to break bonds. By relying on God's divine strength, I maintained my commitment to complete, resisting the adversary's effort to discourage me. I am confident of this very thing, that he w...

Good morning   Day of prayer - Thanksgiving Worship song: Give Thanks   Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:4-5   Let us pray:      Almighty God, I place You at the highest place, high above all else for You, O God, are worthy to be praised. King of heaven and earth, I exalt you and I worship you, my Lord, for granting us access to the throne of grace and to the tree of life. In this moment of realization, Mighty God, I rejoice because of where You have brought me from, as I look back with gratitude. Father, I am grateful for each step I take and each moment of my life for you have brought me a mighty long way. Abba, Father, I am grateful for your fresh anointing, your daily provision, and your grace and mercies that are renewed each morning, great is your faithfulne...

Good morning Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 15: 7-11 Worship Song: Taste and See   Meditation:      In accordance with the Gospel's mandate, we are called to deepen our understanding of the needs of the poor, accepting that their presence among us is constant. Poverty is a condition where an individual lacks the financial resources to meet a certain standard of living. Jesus' teachings about ministering to the needs of the poor are vital and should not be overlooked. Jesus' advice to the rich man highlights a core principle of following Christ, illustrating that active generosity and charity are necessary for those who seek to fully live by his teachings.       While it's common practice to invite friends and well-off acquaintances to a feast, Jesus instructs us to show generosity to the poor and marginalized, who can offer nothing in return. When we help those in need, we should do so with a joyful and sincere heart, not a resentful att...

Scripture reading: Psalms 91 Worship song: No Weapon Meditation:  We live in a world where evil and corruption exist; however, believers find comfort in the unwavering assurance of God's faithfulness to protect, rescue, and defend us from the enemy's attack. Even amidst widespread chaos and evil, those who trust in God are divinely protected from hidden snares, temptations, and forces that would lead us astray. The psalmist validates God's relentless protection through personal experience with danger. Also, the Apostle Paul's assurance in the Lord's power to preserve him from all evil is a testament of his unwavering faith in God's divine protection from spiritual and physical adversity. We are reminded to fear not, for no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. Do not be troubled for every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment will not stand. Do not be afraid of the terror at night or the troubles of the day for no evil shall befall us. The assu...

Scripture reading: Ruth 2 Worship song: My Help Meditation God intentionally places destiny helpers in our lives to provide wisdom, encouragement, resources, and support, thereby assisting us in fulfilling our God-given purpose. Boaz served as a divinely appointed helper who rescued Ruth from a life of hardship and brought her into a prosperous, blessed, and purposeful destiny. Their union was not a coincidence but a deliberate act of divine redemption, paving the way for King David and the coming of Jesus Christ. Destiny helpers play a more profound, divine role than is immediately obvious, as seen in the meeting between Boaz and Ruth. Divine helpers come in diverse forms: friends, strangers, enemies or even angels strategically positioned by God to unlock our potential and destiny. There is a purpose for every one you encounter. Embrace every person you meet as part of a divine plan to shape you, bless you, and advance your divine mission. Let us pray: Sovereign God, we are grateful ...

 Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 33:1-17 Worship song: Restoring My Altar Meditation:  Manasseh committed abomination unto God when he caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err by engaging in ungodly practices. He reinstalled the Baal altars his father destroyed, promoted witchcraft and divination, and engaged in child sacrifice, directly provoking God's judgment. In his trouble, he sought God, repaired the altar of the Lord, sacrificed fellowship and thank offerings, and ordered Judah to worship the Lord, the God of Israel, bringing back true devotion. We may stand guilty of provoking God’s wrath through our own acts of idolatry, similar to Manasseh. We must endeavor to rebuild the broken altars of daily personal devotion, and commitment to God, making our lives a sacred dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Rebuilding a personal altar signifies turning from sin and idolatry by renewing our commitment and rededicating our lives to God, making our hearts Hi...

 Scripture reading: Matthew 18:19-20 Worship song: Go Meditation: The mandate for mission is an authoritative command, a divine commission that is non-negotiable for believers to spread the gospel and make disciples. Those who are sent by God are commissioned to go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things as commanded by God. In the book of Mark, chapter 16, Jesus commands the disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to everyone, and those who believe and are baptized shall be saved. We are commissioned to declare the glory of the Lord among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations, for great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. Jonah was sent to proclaim the gospel to the people of Nineveh, a direct order to fulfill God's mission. One of our key missions is to spread God's love, point people to Him, and bring glory to Him. This is a mission that applies...

  Scripture reading: Ephesians 4 Worship song: Rooted in His Word Meditation Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Jesus by internalizing Scripture and allowing the Holy Spirit to change our hearts, minds, and actions, moving from knowledge to experience. The journey toward spiritual development is often marked by an internal battle between an attachment to the material world and the call of higher spiritual development. Nevertheless, we can strengthen our spiritual life and our relationship with the divine through sincere worship, praises, fostering inner peace, praying without ceasing, meditating on the word of God day and night, and connecting with other believers. Spiritual growth can happen when we surrender our hearts to God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct us. As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk with him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanks...

 Scripture reading: Psalms 103:1-5 Worship song:God of My Restoration   Meditation: We all face moments of profound grief, setbacks, brokenness, despair, and most times unforeseen challenges. Today, we find encouragement in the divine assurance that the future holds not merely a mending of what is broken, but a profound and overflowing promise of restoration. God promises to compensate us for past losses and hardships caused by destruction, such as that brought by the adversary. This renewal promises an outpouring of supernatural abundance, joy, and amazing fruitfulness. God faithfully promises to send his word to heal the broken in heart, bind up our wounds, and deliver us from destruction. The faithful can rely on the promise that when you sincerely call upon God, He will answer and be with you in times of trouble. For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal your wounds, saith the Lord. With long life, God will satisfy you, and show you His salvation. Through the Son...

Scripture reading: Malachi 3:6-12 Worship song: Jehovah Jireh My Provider Meditation: Believers are challenged to test God's loyalty by bringing their tithes into the temple storehouse. This act of faith is presented as a way to unlock substantial blessings, which He promises to safeguard from financial ruin or the devourer. God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory when we seek first the Kingdom of God and all his righteousness, acknowledge him as the ultimate provider, honour him with our substance, and the first fruit of our increase. When we honour God first, our resources will not diminish; they will multiply. The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. In all your pursuits, remember the Lord your God, because He gives you the ability to create wealth. Give not sparingly unto the Lord, and He shall open unto you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of ...

Scripture reading: Proverbs 8:32-36 Worship song: Favour Meditation: Divine favour is God's freely given unmerited kindness, grace, and blessing not earned by works but given to those who faithfully walk with Him. Saved by grace through faith, not works, believers receive favour from God. Noah, among many other prominent figures mentioned in biblical teachings, found favour with God. In a generation defined by ungodliness, Noah's upright walk with God set him apart, and he found grace in God's eyes. God promises to bless and protect those who live righteously, surrounding them with His divine favor like a shield (Psalms 5:12). Not every opportunity presented to us aligns with our core principles. Although opportunities present themselves, we must be selective, ensuring that they align with our beliefs. A notable example is found in the biblical account of Joseph, who refused a morally compromising proposition from his master Potiphar's wife. Although his decision led to...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Timothy 3:1-13, 1 Samuel 2 Worship song: Search My Heart   Meditation:      Eli was ordained as the priest to handle the affairs of the church and matters concerning God. However, he had some weaknesses, for he was unable to reprimand his sons; he failed to govern his household and bring them up to fear the Lord. We are reminded in 1 Timothy 3:4-5 that those chosen to lead God’s people should be persons who rule well over their own households, having their children in subjection with all gravity.       If he fails to rule his own house, he won't be able to monitor the church of God. Leaders are responsible for the spiritual well-being of those under their care and must give an account to God. Leaders and ministers are called to guide others in wisdom and lead them on the right path. They must be blameless, live with integrity, speak truth, and be examples in conduct, faith, and purity. This calls for an ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-4 Worship song: Firm Foundation   Meditation:      God's original design for humanity and life centers on the family. God made a covenant with Abraham, promising to build a mighty nation from him, shower him with blessings, and make him a blessing to the entire world. The family unit serves as the essential cornerstone where fundamental values are instilled, offering the crucial stability necessary for the thriving of communities, societies, and nations.       Within this primary unit, moral, spiritual, and social values are initially taught, forming the very foundation upon which a nation is built. Families function as the first and most significant agents for educating children about ethics, values, discipline, and respect. They help a nation by raising future citizens, transmitting core values like responsibility and empathy, providing essential emotional and social support, and ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-9 Worship song: Good Good Father   Meditation:      The Apostle Paul, in his sixth epistle to the Ephesians, addresses the household and how believers should live their lives in light of salvation. His message specifically addresses the responsibility within the family structure, urging respect, obedience, and adherence to instructions. In Psalms 127, King Solomon emphasizes that children are a divine heritage and a reward from the Lord, bringing divine blessings and honor, not shame, to the man who has them. Paul highlights the essential role of instilling biblical principles, particularly encouraging fathers to guide their children with love and wisdom.         Children are encouraged to honor and respect their parents, aligning their behavior with godly authority. Children's obedience to parents and servants to their masters should be motivated by the desire to honor God and live by h...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ephesians 5:22-33 Worship song: Love Moved First   Meditation:      Marriage is a God-ordained, lifelong union in which a man and a woman become one, forming a new, permanent family unit that should not be broken. It is viewed as a solemn covenant, a sacred agreement with enduring promises that should be honored by all who commit to it. Still, unfortunately, not all marriages withstand the challenges they encounter. Marriage can mean many different things to the world, but holy matrimony is a sacred covenant ordained by God, designed for family and love.       A lasting marriage, as described, is centered on shared spiritual values and a mutual commitment to honoring God, where partners pray together, communicate wisely, and align their union with God's will. Key principles emphasize placing God first, with the husband called to love his wife sacrificially as Christ loved the church. Similarly, wives ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalms 139: 23-24 Worship song: Remind Me Dear Lord   Meditation:      In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul commands believers to examine themselves, using Scripture as the standard, to determine if their faith is genuine and Christ-motivated, rather than mere outward religious performances. This is not a call of condemnation but a call to identify if their lifestyle is in alignment with God's will or blocking His presence. The Word of God exposes areas where we fall short, our need for repentance, and where we need to grow.       James urged us to use the Scriptures daily to examine our lifestyle honestly and live in obedience, leading to everlasting freedom from the bondage of sin. Lamentations 3:40 is a call for deep self-examination to identify sinful or misguided behavior, followed by sincere repentance and redirection back to God's will and presence. In moments of quiet reflection, let us assess our ways...

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 53: 3-8 Worship song: Oh How He Loves    Meditation:      God's compassionate love is the source from which healing flows. His divine love brings spiritual, emotional, and physical healing for our body, mind, soul, and spirit, providing hope, restoration, and newness. His act of mercy surpasses human capability as demonstrated through the sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ. Jesus' suffering was a demonstration of selfless, divine love, in which He willingly endured humanity's punishment for our redemption, forgiveness, and healing. God's love draws Him to our deepest hurts, offering hope of complete healing of all our diseases, mending of wounds, and restoration of brokenness.       Our burdens are many, yet God assures complete deliverance from every one of them. He loves us and knows what it takes to help us draw closer to Him. As believers, we are empowered with agape love, and we mus...

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 5: 22-26 Worship song: Bear Fruit   Meditation:      Over 2,000 different kinds of fruit exist globally, yet the average Western diet uses only about 10% of them. In a spiritual context, human nature is viewed as capable of producing two distinct sets of outcomes: one often referred to as the fruit of the flesh, representing worldly desires and actions, and the other known as the fruit of the Spirit, representing virtues and spiritual growth The nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Galatians 5, represent the essential character traits that should guide a believer. The qualities one displays serve as a reflection of their genuine faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.       As noted in Matthew 7, a tree produces fruit according to its nature; it is an example of how a person's actions reflect their fundamental character. What kind of fruit are you producing? How can we cultivate the fruit ...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 4:7-21 Worship song: United in Jesus Christ   Meditation:      In His infinite wisdom, God demonstrated His unconditional love by sending His only Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins and to redeem us from the power of evil. Jesus commands us to follow this example by loving one another with genuine, selfless, and sacrificial action, not merely with words. A believer who has experienced a profound spiritual awakening and the transformative power of divine, unconditional love understands how to effectively interact with and serve others with compassion, patience, and humility.       We express our love for God by loving the people around us. To demonstrate the love of God, we must show kindness towards all individuals, including those who are against us, while endeavoring to maintain spiritual unity through peaceful relationships. This kind of united love will be the sign to the world th...

Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Hymn: Draw Me Nearer   Meditation:      God's call for Moses and the Israelites to prepare for His presence on Mount Sinai involved washing and consecrating themselves, a command for spiritual purity and separation that was also repeated for Joshua's generation. This highlights the need for spiritual and physical holiness to encounter God's awesome power. The direct command to be consecrated and purified focused on setting ourselves apart for holy purposes, which involves avoiding sin, choosing righteousness, and cleansing ourselves from all defilement that hinders our relationship with God.       We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people. Being God's representatives on earth, God requires us to be consecrated in holiness for He is Holy. Paul the Apostle, beseech us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, and be not confo...

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35 Worship song: Please Forgive Me   Meditation:      Forgiveness is choosing to release negative emotions such as feelings of resentment, bitterness, anger, and the desire to seek revenge against those who have wronged us. This journey of forgiving allows wounds to mend, paving the way for inner peace, joy, and freedom from past hurts. True forgiveness is not possible by willpower alone. It is a spiritual transformation empowered by the Holy Spirit, our divine guide. It is the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit that leads us to do what is holy and righteous in the sight of God. Our willingness to forgive others, as well as ourselves, will bring peace to our lives. The scripture reminds us that if we do not forgive those who trespass against us, neither will our Heavenly Father forgive us.       Daily we sin against Almighty God, and when we pray, requesting forgiveness, we ex...

Good morning Scripture reading: Acts 3:19 Worship song: I Repent   Meditation:      God's covenants promise to forgive, restore, and heal is activated when His people, who are called by His name, respond to His call for humility, prayer, seeking His face, and turning away from wickedness, offering hope through sincere repentance. Repentance is turning from sin to God, marked by confession, regret, and a deep commitment to change our ungodly ways and unforgiving hearts. Repentance opens the way for God to forgive sins and cleanse the heart.       Godly sorrow produces a lasting change for the better, a life lived in greater alignment with divine principles. He that covers his sins shall not prosper but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God does not want anyone to perish but wants everyone to come to repentance and...

Good morning New Year's Day Prayer Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17).   Worship sing: New Creation   Let us pray:      Loving Savior, we thank you wholeheartedly for your divine blessings, mercy, grace, and unconditional love. We worship and adore you, O God, expressing sincere gratitude for allowing us to see this new year. God of a second chance, we have faltered, we have abused our power and have stepped out of your will. As we look inward and examine our hearts, we recognize how easily we allowed the distractions of the world to steal the precious time that was meant for communion with you. We are guilty, O God, of conforming to the world's patterns.       In repentance, we come before You, Lord, acknowledging our error in prioritizing worldly influences over Your divine will and our failure to give You sincere praise....
