YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Day of prayer - Healing Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psalm 103:3 Worship song: Heal Me O Lord Let us pray:      Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of the Lord, believing in your power to heal and restore. Almighty God, I acknowledge that you were wounded for our iniquities, and by your stripes, we are healed. We seek you, Lord God, not only to be healed but also to establish a profound covenant relationship with you, our healer. Father, a wounded and contrite heart you will not despise, so we come to you with our broken spirits and wounded hearts. Lord, we need purification and cleansing of our hearts, bodies, minds, and souls.       We plead with you, Lord God, to remove our stony hearts and give us hearts of flesh. We are not exempt from affliction, but, Lord, we trust you to deliver us out of them all. We come to you, ...

Good morning Scripture: 2 Samuels 11 Worship song: Now Behold the Lamb   Meditation:      In a desperate attempt to cover his adulterous act, King David summoned Uriah the Hittite, urging him to return home to his wife. However, Uriah displayed extraordinary loyalty by choosing to sleep outdoors with his fellow soldiers. David realized that all his initial plans failed and resorted to a more drastic scheme. David wrote a letter and gave it to Uriah to deliver to Joab. Uriah obediently handed the letter to Joab, not knowing that the message he delivered would determine his own fate. Uriah, a very noble soldier, was ultimately sent to the forefront, where he lost his life defending his country.       The story might be ancient, but this issue still remains among us because there are still those who use their power and influence to betray and abuse the weak and vulnerable. Some believe they have dominion power over the lives of others and c...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 13: 53-58 Worship song: Cry of The Broken   Meditation:      The fear of rejection is a critical weapon that can paralyze our mental state. It can affect who we are and hinder us from moving forward to accomplish our God-given purpose. The fear of rejection can cause someone to avoid situations that might lead to potential rejection. Though you cannot prevent rejection, you can overcome it. Overcoming rejection depends on your beliefs, what you accept, and how you digest the views and opinions of others. Tearing down the stronghold of rejection is possible when you begin to acknowledge and accept what God's word says about your identity and who you are in Christ. When you know and accept that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God in his likeness and image, loved, appreciated, and accepted by Him, you can quell the spirit of rejection.       Whenever you feel rejected, do not take it per...

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 53 Worship song: I go to the rock   Meditation:      Do you remember the last time you felt rejected? You can display excellent leadership skills and may possess all the traits of an individual with great character and moral ethics and still experience rejection. Rejection is something that you might encounter daily depending on others' perspective of you. We may encounter rejection in relationships, among family members and friends, at our workplaces, at school, among our peers, and at church, etc. It can be painful and harsh, and it can stay with us for a long time. Unfortunately, this is something that none of us can avoid, as no one is exempt from the spirit of rejection.       Whenever you experience rejection, remember Jesus Christ, the Savior who came to redeem us unto himself, was also rejected. Jesus Christ, our King, was chastised, despised, ridiculed, and rejected by the people whom ...

Good morning. Scripture reading: Matthew 27:45-51 Worship song: If That Isn't Love Meditation:      One can only imagine the horrendous torture meted out to Jesus by the very people whom he came to serve. His parched throat and open wounds are evidence of the trauma and agony he endured. He was offered vinegar mingled with gall to numb the pain, but He refused it because He wanted to experience every single moment appointed to him by his Father. Vinegar mixed with gall is like a tranquilizer used by the Romans during execution to sedate those who are being crucified.       Just before Jesus took his last breath, he was again offered vinegar, not from a cup but a sponge, which he drank and then cried out with a loud voice; it is finished. Immediately after Jesus' crucifixion, the veil was torn from top to bottom, marking the beginning of the new covenant established through Jesus Christ and the ending of the old covenant, which was based on ritu...

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 22:1-14 Worship song: Worthy   Meditation:      To be considered worthy, one must have and demonstrate the qualities that merit recognition for the specific purpose to which they are called to serve. In the above Scripture, Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a king preparing a wedding celebration for his child with the desire to appease the invitees and make the experience a memorable event. Normally, preparation depends on the expected number of attendees, but as illustrated in the scripture, some invitees may cancel the invitation at the last minute without prior notice.       Jesus' wedding feast comes with an open invitation, and He is always graciously making appeals for us to join in the spiritual festivity, but many are too preoccupied with the cares and concerns of this world to heed the invitation and seek God's kingdom. If we continue to ignore the plea to come to the banquet hall, t...

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 36:24-28 Worship song: Clean Heart   Meditation:      God designed our bodies to naturally convert toxins into non-toxic substances, with the ability to excrete waste through various organs. However, poor lifestyle choices can hinder the body of its natural detoxification mechanism, potentially leading to health deterioration and various health issues. Similarly, when the toxicity of sin and iniquity accumulates, it can lead to the hardening of the heart. The attributes of a hardened heart are but not limited to pride, stubbornness, resistance to spiritual truth, and difficulty in recognizing and repenting from sin. The accumulation of sin can lead to separation from God, a decline in spiritual growth and well-being, a marred conscience, and a lack of compassion and forgiveness.       A heart full of sin cannot experience the joy and peace of the Lord. The heart cannot naturally excrete sins; it re...

 Good morning   Scripture reading: 1 Peter 3:17-19 Hymn: Rejoice and be glad   Meditation:      The hope of the believer's salvation lies in the fact that Jesus Christ once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the spirit. During the era of the Old Testament, the shedding of blood was a continual requirement for the atonement of sin, but this act of constant sacrificial offering was no longer necessary, for Jesus Christ became the permanent sacrifice for the sin of all people. Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, took on flesh to redeem us from the bondage of sin. He purchased us with his own blood. His crucifixion was not a result of crimes committed, or any laws broken by him but as an atonement for the remission of our sins.         The eternal One exchanged His eternal life for our death sentence. The infinite love of God is powerful; the ...
