YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Timothy 4 Worship song: I Will Follow You   Meditation:      In his final letter to Timothy, Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to be a steadfast leader, to persevere through suffering, and to preach and teach the truth despite false teachings and persecution. He recounted his experience of betrayal by his fellow believers who abandoned him at a critical moment when he needed them to stand by him. Paul expressed disappointment that Demas, a dedicated minister who worked assiduously alongside him, in Colossae and Philemon, deserted the ministry to pursue worldly pleasures.       In response to the betrayal of his fellow coworkers and human failure, Paul's letter responded with a message focused on encouragement, forgiveness, and his unwavering trust in God. His letter served as a lesson on human weakness, emphasizing God's mercy and the profound strength of relying on God alone. The journey of faith and...

Good morning Scripture Reading: Exodus 4:10-16 Worship song: His Eye on The Sparrow   Meditation:      Rather than focusing on his divine assignment, Moses, an ordinary servant, was concerned more about his perceived inadequacy, lack of qualification, and human limitations. After Moses related his excuses, God reminded him that He does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. God does not choose individuals based on their natural abilities or qualifications but equips, empowers, and prepares those He has called to serve.       While Moses thought he lacked eloquence, God recognized the divine potential he had instilled within him. As outlined in 1 Cor. 2:27, God often chooses what the world considers foolish or weak to establish his strength and wisdom. Also in 2 Cor. 3:5, we are reminded that our ability and competence to complete spiritual assignments are furnished by God. If God has called you, He will empower you wi...

Good morning Scripture reading: Revelation 21:2-7 Worship song: No Tears in Heaven   Meditation:      O weary soul oppressed by grief and pain, rejoice and be exceeding glad because there is a day when weeping will cease. Through the ransom of the Lord, we have obtained joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will vanish. Keep your hope strong and your patience steady for the powerful promise of Jesus. He is our shepherd who will lead us to an abundance of life, where every tear will be dried. With God as our guide, we can face a bright future filled with abundant life, knowing he will wipe away every tear. The cleansing power of his divine love will clear the tears from your eyes in any time of trouble.       While it is natural for people to suffer, do not lose heart or be dismayed. God will empower, assist, and hold you steady with his righteous right hand. Even amidst persecution, you are not abandoned because the Lord promises neve...

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 ...
