YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Day of prayer- Healing and Restoration   Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. Jeremiah 33:6   Worship song: Heal Me O Lord   Let us pray:      Yeshua, Adonai, Emmanuel, we declare you are our Healer, Provider, Great Physician, our balm in Gilead, and our miracle-working God. We glorify, worship, and exalt your holy name, Lord God, offering you our heartfelt sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving. We affirm your supreme power to save, deliver, and redeem.       We come to you, Lord God, seeking not just healing but a deep and long and lasting covenant relationship with you. Extend your mercy towards us, O God, and renew our strength in times of affliction. Though many are the afflictions of the righteous, we held firmly to your promise to deliver us from them all. Our Merciful Savior, you declare that by your stripes we are healed,...

 Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 130 Worship song: I Will Wait for You   Meditation:      It is common for people to feel frustrated, discouraged, and even hopeless when waiting for a situation to change and nothing seems to be happening. While not everyone possesses the patience to wait faithfully on God, those who do find contentment in placing their trust completely in Him. Our expectations are anchored in God, the ultimate source of hope and peace. 'I will wait until my change comes' is not just a phrase; it is a powerful declaration of unwavering trust and courage, believing God is working out his perfect plan to prosper us. Waiting patiently demonstrates our complete dependence on God for strength, wisdom, and direction, not relying on our own abilities or understanding.       It reflects a deep spiritual journey of faith, patience, reliance, and trusting in God's timing and plan, even when things are difficult. We wait ...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 5:2-8 Praise song: I Will Wait    Meditation:      Ms. Cole, a mother of three sent out several applications and resumes seeking employment, but she received no response. She possesses the necessary skills, qualifications, and experience required to fill the vacant positions advertised, yet no one called her for an interview. Two years have passed since her last job, and while she felt the mounting pressure to provide for her children, she remained steadfast. Although her savings were depleting, she refused to succumb to hopelessness. Hearing of another job opening, her sister encouraged her to apply. Though she hesitated, she submitted the application with a glimmer of hope.       This reminds us of the fishermen in St. Luke 5, who toiled tirelessly all night without success. When Jesus instructed them to launch their nets into the deep, they hesitated but ultimately obeyed and wer...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1:18-21 Worship song: Ten Thousand Angels Cried   Meditation:      The initiated plan by God was a profound divine exchange: our sin and brokenness for the righteousness and holiness of Christ. Jesus, the sinless one, stood in the gap, willingly taking our punishment so that we could be made the righteousness of God. We were not redeemed with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, predetermined before the foundation of the world for the remission of sin.       Though he was rich, Jesus became poor for our sake so we may be enriched through his sacrificial atonement. He bore the emotional scars of rejection and the physical pain of chastisement, carrying the weight of the world's sins. He endured a temporary separation from God to bridge the gap between God and humanity. This enabled us to reconcile with our Heavenly Father and develop a permanent relationship with Him....

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 3:1-16 Worship song: Spirit of The Living God   Meditation:      There is a clear distinction between water baptism and baptism of the Holy Spirit. John boldly stated his mission to preach repentance and baptize with water but revealed that it is Jesus Christ who baptizes us with the Holy Ghost and fire. Those who have been baptized in water must also be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our guide, directing those who actively seek God's will and submit to His word. The Holy Spirit operates within us, transforming our lives and empowering us to live in obedience to God.       In Acts 8, Philip boldly proclaimed and taught the gospel to those in Samaria who were misguided by Simon the sorcerer. Many believed the gospel, including Simon himself, and upon the profession of their faith, they received water baptism. However, water baptism alone does not change your heart condition, as was...

Good morning Scripture reading: Acts 27: 27-44 Worship song: Speak to Move Mountain   Meditation:      In 1912, the luxurious Titanic, designed and engineered with advanced safety features to prevent it from sinking met a tragic fate when it collided with an iceberg. The severity of the massive collision ultimately led to its tragic sinking. A similar tale unfolds in today's scripture. During a turbulent voyage to Rome, the ship carrying Apostle Paul, a prisoner, encountered a boisterous storm while sailing on the Adriatic Sea. With the winds raging and the ship tossing violently, fear and despair gripped the passengers and crew. The ship eventually wrecked on the Island of Melita, known today as Malta. Amidst the chaos, Paul stands firm, assuring the 276 souls on board that they are safe, urging them to eat to maintain their strength and survival.       Apostle Paul's experience is a powerful reminder that challenges can arise at any mo...

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 51:7-12 Worship song: Clean Heart   Meditation:      As part of the safety measures to prevent sickness, it is recommended that we sanitize, disinfect, and wash our hands regularly. There is another significant part of us that we need to pay attention to, and it is our heart. Our heart, however, does not need physical cleansing but spiritual cleansing. A person's heart reveals their true nature.      Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things, desperately wicked, and needs divine purification. We must carefully protect and maintain our heart, which is the source of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We must be vigilant and careful about what enters and takes root in our hearts, as negative influences will inevitably shape our lives.       Matthew 5:8 says, Blessed is the pure in heart, for they shall see God. While the ways of our heart may be hidden from o...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 4:1-11 Worship song: Give Me You   Meditation:      Today's scripture passage powerfully illustrates Satan's tactics as he tempted Jesus after his forty days of fasting. Satan used 'if thou' to sow doubt and challenge Jesus' authority, but Jesus counteracted Satan's attempt to undermine his authority by consistently responding with the phrase 'It is written,' demonstrating his deep knowledge and reliance on God's word. Satan attempted to twist the scripture to conquer Jesus, but he was defeated.       Not everyone will experience spiritual attacks in the same way. The devil is strategic, targeting each of us with a specific missile, and if successful, he celebrates. However, if he fails his quest, he will retreat for a while but will strike again. The devil is relentless and will attack when we least expect it. He often attacks right after a powerful spiritual worship experience or after we hav...
