YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 1:7-10 Worship song: Nothing but The Blood   Meditation:      Concealed underneath the layer of correction fluid on the closely examined written document lie all the inevitable mistakes neatly covered. It completely cleared the error providing a blank space to rewrite. This is similar to what God does. God offers us a divine correction fluid, the blood of Jesus Christ, that blots out our transgressions and removes them as far as the East is from the West. When God blots out transgressions, they are forgotten entirely. The stain of sin is totally erased, leaving no trace behind.       The significant difference between erasing mistakes with correction fluid and covering your sins is that error is covered to reduce unnecessary material waste, and sin is erased for your redemption. Note, however, that anyone who covers their sins will not prosper, but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall obtain merc...

Good morning Scripture reading: Isaiah 40 Praise song: How great is our God   Meditation:      Knowing that God is great is the beginning of showing reverence and submitting to Him. Almighty God sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants are like grasshoppers; this depicts the greatness of our God. He also stretches out the heavens as a curtain and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in. We serve a mighty God, who can do the impossible things in our lives. He made the earth a dwelling place for all things He created. He gives power to the faint and strength to the weary. Jehovah God is greater than all other gods; he has no equal; nothing or no one can be compared to his matchless worth. He is sovereign over all creation; he rules over the earth, the sea, and the dry land.       The Everlasting God is greater than all our problems and suffering. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He is greater...

Good Morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2 Worship Song: If Not for Grace   Meditation:      The famous minister Charles H. Spurgeon once said, "The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it". Your own imperfections, upon joining, would "spoil" the already imperfect church. The church is like a hospital, it embraces people with diverse spiritual needs, providing a sanctuary where everyone can find the healing, deliverance, and breakthrough they seek. The church serves as a means for God to manifest His wisdom, grace, and truth to the world.       As a church, we must embrace Christ's teachings fully, instruct and guide each other wisely through psalms, hymns, and spiritual song, and offer our collective worship unto God with gratitude. Though the church is imperfect it must always demonstrate God's moral standards, rooted in Biblical principles and character, by living with spiritual integrity ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Colossians 3:23-24 Worship song: My Help   Meditation:      In the competitive job market, we focus on creating an impressive resume to showcase our achievements that will qualify us as the ideal candidate. Unlike an earthly boss, who is impressed by achievements and skills, God values inner character and a repentant heart. Our professional skills and accomplishments, while important to employers, are insignificant to God, who already knows our every strength, weakness, and imperfection. Our genuine worth to God is rooted not in self-promotion but in our commitment and faith in Jesus Christ.       This clear distinction shows that human validation does not relate to divine approval. Consider the testimony of the Apostle Paul, in Philippians 3:7-9, who viewed his worldly achievements as insignificant after his true encounter with Christ. King Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 1, describes the profound emptiness, fut...

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 3:14-21 Praise song: If that isn't love   Meditation:      Love, expressed appropriately, can significantly impact our behavior, well-being, and ability to connect with others. Love is the most powerful gift to humans, which is much deeper than emotional or physical attraction. Love is patient, compassionate, and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, and it is not proud. Love does not dishonor others; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; and keeps no record of wrongs. Love endures and overcomes challenge and grows stronger through adversity.       The true power of love was demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who expressed His unlimited, matchless love for humanity by sacrificing His life for us. Jesus' love is greater than any you can find. He came to earth in the form of flesh, walked among sinful men, and expressed his love through healing miracles and deliverance. He was ridiculed ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Acts 22 Worship song: I Was Broken but Now Restored   Meditation:      The Apostle Paul, previously known as Saul, a once ruthless persecutor responsible for arresting and imprisoning Christian men and women, had a life-altering experience that transformed his ways after having a divine encounter with the risen Lord on the road to Damascus. After the encounter, he became an influential missionary, dedicating his life to spreading what he once sought to destroy. His fervent commitment to spreading the gospel established him as a crucial and influential figure in early Christianity.       The conversion of Paul demonstrated that no one is beyond the reach of God's redemptive plan. It is a powerful example of God's grace and the potential for change in everyone, as God's mercy is available to all, regardless of their past sins. No one is beyond the reach of God's grace nor his anyone too sinful that the mercy...

Good morning Scripture reading: Deuteronomy 15: 7-11 Worship Song: This Poor Man Cried   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. This societal problem has different categories, including absolute poverty, the most severe form. Those listed in the category of absolute poverty find it challenging to provide the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, and shelter. 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 is common practice t...

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 Praise song: Lift Your Countenance   Meditation:      The English idiom 'Never Judge a Book by Its Cover' implies that one should not make a final judgment on anything based only on outward appearance. The story narrated in the above scripture gives a clear insight into what it means to judge by outer appearance. The prophet Samuel gazed upon seven of Jesse's sons and was satisfied with their masculinity and countenance, thinking they fit the profile of a king. Still, the Lord made it known to Samuel that the qualities He seeks are internal and not external. The Lord looks at the heart and not the outward physique.       Following the Lord's command, Samuel sent for David, who was out in the field tending to the flock, anointed him with oil, and appointed him as the King of Israel. Look not upon another man's countenance because redeeming love has set apart the worst of mankind to be rewar...
