YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good Morning Scripture Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18 Worship Song:  Look Where He Brought Me From   Meditation:      Before we met Jesus Christ, our track record was tarnished by the works of the flesh and corrupted by our iniquities. Our sinful nature and our desire for worldly pleasures have led us down the wrong path and into many danger zones. Many of our struggles and heartaches were and are a result of our refusal to obey the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit. Our mistakes and poor decisions could have been avoided if we had heeded and listened to the Holy Spirit when He tried to connect with us. Now we can look back and thank God with a grateful heart for where he has brought us from and the catastrophe he has prevented physically, mentally, and spiritually.       The Lord has brought us a mighty long way, out of darkness into his marvelous light. Despite our misguided actions or choices, everyone has an ultimate purpose an...

Good morning Scripture reading: Luke 9:23-27 Worship song: Let Me Lose Myself   Meditation:      To be followers of Jesus Christ, we must commit ourselves to and be willing to follow his teachings and abide by his commands. Denying oneself is essential in the life of every follower of Jesus Christ. We must decrease so God can take precedence over us. His will is first and foremost in every circumstance, especially when hardship and tribulations arise. Denying ourselves to follow Christ means we must denounce our selfish desires, and pledge allegiance to Him. Denying oneself for Christ is to give up one's wants to receive his. It means surrendering the natural man, your carnal ways, by crucifying your fleshly desires and bringing them under God's subjection.       When we daily deny self and crucify the flesh, we grow stronger, our faith is strengthened, and we will become more Christlike. Not only should we deny ourselves, but we should ...

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...
