YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture Reading: St. John 19: 28 - 30 Worship Song: Fill My Cup, Lord   Meditation:      Jesus, tired from his journey, went and sat by a well in Sychar, Samaria. Shortly after, a Samaritan woman arrived at the well to draw water. Jesus conversed with her and administered to her soul, offering her living water that she would never thirst again. Jesus came to quench not the physical but the spiritual thirst. Jesus came into the world to accomplish a mandate. He completed his mission to teach, educate, and minister healing and deliverance to a dying world. The final hour of his life was the critical aspect of his ultimate goal. He endured persecution, torture, and rejection for our redemption so He could offer us living water, but to satisfy this thirst, Jesus had to die. Jesus lamented in anguish, for the severity of his punishment was intolerable, yet he endured it to the end. His strength was dried up like a potsherd, and his tongue cleaved ...

Good morning Scripture Reading: Romans 6:19-23 Worship Song: How Deep the Fathers Love.   Meditation:      Dust covered the once well-polished furniture, making it difficult to identify its original color and beauty. So, it is the sins we ignore that slowly germinate in us, making it difficult to recognize the beauty of God's masterpiece. We refer to the little sins as minor and insignificant, but they are powerful and dangerous enough to disrupt our spiritual growth. These are the sins that take root deep in our unguarded hearts, which, if not detected, give way for deception to emerge and darken our spiritual vision. When a fleshly desire is conceived in the heart, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is compiled, it destroys our faith and our relationship with Jesus Christ.     When the little sins are accumulated, they find their way into our hearts, where they take root and then spread like a green bay tree. Don't you know that little sin...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matt. 6:24-34 Hymn: Seek ye first   Meditation:      There is a get-rich-quick mentality sweeping across the nation. Even pastors and ministers have diverted from the gospel to preach prosperity sermons. Instead of ministering to the congregation about salvation, the significance of repentance, the penalty of sin, and the reward of a soul that is sold out for Christ, they are preaching about riches. The most important thing in life is not about how to get rich but to know Jesus Christ and have a relationship with Him. Too many people spend their lives trying to get rich. They lose their health to get wealth, then they spend their wealth to get back their health. Don’t let money be your sole pursuit. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you. When the Lord asked King Solomon what he wanted, he could have said riches, but instead, he asked for wisdom to lead the people.  ...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matt.10:16 Worship song: Lamb of God   Meditation:      According to wildlife biologists, wolves are highly territorial animals and generally establish territories far larger than they require to survive. They hunt and travel in packs and have remarkable powers of endurance. They are known to follow their target all day and night, if necessary, whereas sheep are prey animals and are largely defenseless against predators, naturally nervous, and easily frightened. Due to their nature, they flock together for safety. Sheep are humble, domesticated animals and are considered to be the most intelligent among all animals. Satan and his cohorts operate in the same manner as wolves. They lurk around day and night, trying desperately to persuade, trap, and lead us down the path of destruction.       Do not marvel but be vigilant and cautious because Satan and his ministers can transform themselves as angels of ...

Good morning Scripture reading: St.   Matthew 22:34-40 Worship song: Give Me A Heart Like Thine   Meditation:      While Jesus was teaching the multiple, a mischievous pharisee decided to tempt him by asking which commandment was the greatest. Jesus responded by telling him the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord God with all thine heart, mind, and soul, and secondly, to love his neighbor as himself. Jesus also added that these two took priority over all other commandments, and all the laws and prophets relied on these two vital commandments. As created beings, we are expected to love the God who created us more than anything else, and our love must be extended to our fellow men. For if we say we love God and hate our brothers and sister, those whom we rub shoulders with, then it means we lie, and the love of God is not perfected in us. There is no way we can truly love God yet hate those whom we see daily. We are commanded by Jesus to l...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 10:10 Worship song: Come, Now Is the Time to Worship   Meditation:      Do you know what will happen in the next minute, hour, day, week, etc., and do you know your fate? What will befall you? If you knew at what time the thief came, wouldn't you watch and protect your possessions against theft? If you know tomorrow will be your last day, would you not spend today at your best, trying to do all that you wanted to accomplish and trying to make up for lost time? Do not procrastinate; live each privilege day as if it is your last. No one is promised tomorrow; therefore, be ready for in such an hour when you think not the Son of Man will come. Do not be like those who doubt the Lord will return, saying they heard that when they were young and now they are old and he is still not here. Be ready because you never know when the bridge groom will come and find you without sufficient oil for the journey. More so, you do not k...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1:3-13 Worship song: There is Hope in the Lord   Meditation:      There are times when we experience hardship, ongoing failures, disappointments, discouragements, bitter woes, declining health, shattered dreams, tragedies, and broken promises. Most if not all of us have had moments when we feel completely hopeless, just going through the motions, merely existing. But where do you find hope when all around us seems hopeless? Where do you seek hope when you feel as though you have lost it all? Where do you find hope in the face of uncertainty? Who do we run to when we encounter the pressures of life? Who do we turn to when all earthly hopes are fading? We run to the rock that is higher than us and seek refuge in the God of hope. We take our issues to the God of comfort, who can fill us with joy and peace so that we may abound in all hope through the power of the Holy Ghost. We cast our burden upon the Lord who can susta...

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 3:7-14 Worship song: If I Got Jesus   Meditation:      Whenever you are moving from one situation to a new one that you think is better than the previous one, people will tell you not to burn your bridges behind you. 'Do not burn your bridges behind you' is an idiom that means to make a decision that is irrevocable and eliminates any possibility of retreating or returning for favor. You would be told not to act in a manner that will cause irreparable harm to your previous relationships or connections, as you may need them later in life. The truth is, there are some relationships and connections that you need to sever, especially the ones not aligned with God's will. You need to burn the bridges that interfere with your relationship with God. Be not deceived, for some have not the knowledge of God, and if you turn away from such, they will corrupt you with their evil communications. It is perfectly feasible to burn...
