YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11:32-39 Worship song: Calvary   Meditation:      Maybe your hero is your parent, a teacher, a leader, a celebrity, a politician, or someone in society that you have not met, but that person has impacted your life in a very influential way. Everyone has a hero, someone they admire, respect, and want to be like. A hero can be someone who risks their own life to save another or someone who fights for a good cause and is distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength by making a positive difference in the world.       There is a hero I have come to know, love, and admire. He deserves our adoration, worship, obedience, time, treasure, service, and allegiance. His name is Jesus Christ. He gave his life to free us from Satan's bondage. He is our hero of Calvary, seated in glory now where archangels bow before him. He came to earth bearing our shame and iniquities; a man without fault, perfe...

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 51 Praise song: Washed in the Blood of the Lamb   Meditation:      It is said that if you keep your vehicle looking new, you will preserve its value and lengthen its durability. When your vehicle is obviously stained with dirt, the only way to get it sparkling clean, shiny, and looking remarkably new is to get to work with your cleaning agents or take it to a car wash attendant. Various cleaning agents are used to wash the vehicle, removing dust, dirt, debris, and contaminants from its interior and exterior, but when humans become filthy, marred by sin, stained within and without, the only cleaning agent available is Jesus Christ. Only Jesus Christ can cleanse, wash our sins away, and make us white as snow.       When we become aware that our garments are defiled by immoralities, stained by the graffiti of sin, only then can we seek to be purified. If you have strayed from the pathway of holiness, if...

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...

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.     ...

 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 Reading: Matt 16:24-28 Worship Song: Highway To Heaven   Meditation:      I watched nervously as the driver of a red Ferrari SUV car repeatedly swerved in and out of lanes as he tried desperately to maneuver the vehicle and narrowly escaped an accident. Despite the almost tragic mishap, the driver did not check his speed but continued swerving in and out of lanes until he found a clear path. Reflecting on what unfolded before my eyes brings me to ask some very significant questions. Are you skipping lanes, swerving from the narrow road to the broad road? Have you swerved and ended on the path that leads to death, or are you on the path that leads to salvation? Who is chauffeuring you?       We all need a chauffeur to help us navigate the challenges we encounter in life, the hardships, the trials, disappointments, and tribulations, as well as keep us on the right path. To stay on the narrow path, we must allow J...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Chronicles 28:10-19 Worship song: Up on This Rock   Meditation:      A blueprint, also known as a building plan and construction plan, is a design with detailed drawings created and used by engineers, construction workers, and architects to illustrate project plans and build new infrastructure. David handed his son Solomon a blueprint of the Temple of the Lord and also gave him the materials needed to build it. In the context of life, we are not handed a drafted blueprint detailing our lifespan, nor are we given a draft of our successes and failures or what will happen each day. Neither are we given a blueprint detailing every aspect of our life. What we have access to is the Bible to help us navigate life's journey.       The Bible is a lamp to guide our feet and a light to show us the path. The Bible is the guidebook, a blueprint that provides guidance and advice for family life, relationships, spiritu...
