YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 46 Worship song: Hide Me Now   Meditation:      In Joshua 20, God commanded the Israelites to establish six cities of refuge for those accused of accidental manslaughter without evidence of hatred, protecting them from the avenger of blood until they faced trial, demonstrating a system of divine mercy and justice that allowed unintentional murderers to find sanctuary until the death of the high priest, at which point they were freed. The accuser risked the death penalty under two conditions: if captured before reaching a city of refuge, or if they departed that safe zone before a trial verdict or the death of the current high priest.       Jesus is our city of refuge who fulfills this role by providing believers with a lasting spiritual refuge from the guilt and judgment of sin, shielding us from spiritual death through faith. We can seek refuge in Christ, where we can escape the wrath of G...

Good morning Scripture reading: Exodus 12: 29-33 Worship song: Run to The Father   Meditation:      The moment Pharaoh explicitly refused to obey God's command to let the Israelites go, he set in motion his own downfall. Pharaoh had the opportunity to consider the negotiation plan and consult his advisors about releasing the Israelites, but instead of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement, Pharaoh rejected the offer. By continuously postponing their release, he ultimately faced the tragic consequences of indecisiveness, rebelliousness, and hard-heartedness, culminating in the loss of his firstborn.       To ensure we make the right decisions and follow divine instruction, divine guidance continues to be channeled through God's chosen servants, enabling humanity to discern righteous paths and adhere to His sovereign will and commandments. God's patience with Pharaoh is a testament to the opportunities for right choices He still pr...

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 3:12-15 Hymn: I am pressing on   Meditation:      The Apostle Paul, a highly influential witness of Jesus Christ and dedicated preacher of the gospel, faced numerous trials, suffering, and persecution. Despite being imprisoned and persecuted for spreading the gospel, he remained steadfast and committed to the mission. Paul continued his mission to serve, seek, and minister to those who needed to know about Jesus Christ. He was not afraid to venture into dangerous territories. He pressed on to the higher calling by doing the will of God and completing his mission. To press on or press ahead means continuing with a task or activity in a determined way, without allowing any problems or difficulties to stop, delay, or prevent you.       Stay focused on your ultimate purpose and maintain your persistence, even when facing challenges. Consider it pure joy when you fall into divers temptation for the ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13 Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him   Meditation:      God exalted Jesus above all, granting Him a name that demands universal recognition; all beings will eventually acknowledge Jesus' lordship, culminating in praise for God the Father. Bowing down before God and confessing that the Lord God Omnipotent reigns is ordained by God; it cannot be reversed. We were created to worship, glorify, and exalt God.       All people, rich or poor, Jews or Gentiles, regardless of their current belief, religion, gender, race, language, color, or culture, will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, submitting to his authority and power. That day is coming, unlike any other day, when every atheist, unbeliever, idol worshipper, and everyone who refused to surrender to the sovereign Lord will acknowledge his authority, lordship, dominion, and sovereignty over all creation. As I live, says th...

Good morning Scripture: St. Luke 8:49-56 Worship song: He's able   Meditation:      When facing laughter or ridicule from others, remember not to be discouraged or offended. It is common for individuals not operating at the same spiritual understanding to mock or deride what they cannot discern or comprehend. Their reaction often stems from an inability to perceive the spiritual power at work in your life, not a failing on your part. Jesus Christ was laughed to scorn, not because he failed, but because the people did not know His potential; hence, they lacked faith in Him. Jesus never failed to deliver on His promises, but the people did not know Him, nor did they take the time to observe and learn from Him before ridiculing Him.       They did not know his capabilities or the power he possessed. When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader and declared that the child was not dead but sleeping, the mourners ceased lamenting and b...

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11:32-39 Worship song: Calvary   Meditation: Each one of us identifies with a person we hold in high regard and seek to emulate. Perhaps your hero is a parent, teacher, leader, celebrity, politician, or someone in society whom you have not met, but who has had a profoundly influential impact on your life. A hero can be someone who risks their own life to save another or someone who fights for a good cause, distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength, and making a positive difference in the world.       There is an exceptional hero whom I have come to deeply cherish, who is worthy of our utmost devotion and unwavering loyalty. Jesus Christ is our faithful hero. Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, willingly took on humanity's guilt and suffering, enduring a brutal crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice to redeem people from sin, offering them freedom and a path to righteousness and eternal life th...

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 6:1-10 Praise song: Sow mercy   Meditation:      Everything in life starts with a seed that reproduces to produce offspring of its specific type. God had designed all the different plants to yield produce after their own kind. A farmer anticipates a pea harvest from planting peas; similarly, we cultivate the results of our deeds. The quality of the harvest depends on the quality of the seeds sown, illustrating the principle that one will inevitably reap the consequences of their actions. There exist both good and bad seeds, so we should be cautious about sowing seeds, because whatever a man sows, he will one day reap.  They that sow to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but they that sow to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. The type or portion of what we sow determines the type or portion of what we harvest. Whatsoever we sow, we shall reap the reward. If you sow compassion, love,...

Good morning Scripture reading: Rev. 20:10-15 Worship song: The Old Rugged Cross   Meditation:      If you are thinking, like those who believe, that God will not destroy what he has created, you have the wrong concept. There will come a day when we will all stand before God to be judged according to our deeds. 6 2 Cor. 5:10 clearly states that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.       In Matthew 13, Jesus Christ explained the parable of the tares to the disciples helping them understand what the kingdom of Heaven is like. Jesus Christ declared what the kingdom of heaven is like. He told them that at the end of the world, angels will separate the wicked from among the just and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. God knows all we have done and will do ...
