“The Crown and the Robe”

As November 1st draws near, I pause to thank the Lord for another year of life. Each birthday reminds me of His promise — three score and ten — seventy years of grace, purpose, and divine favor.

Every passing year is not just a number; it’s a testimony of mercy and mission fulfilled.Have you ever thought about the significance of the crown and the robe when our earthly journey comes to an end?

The crown represents victory, faithfulness, and the eternal reward promised by God.

The robe symbolizes righteousness, salvation, and being clothed in the grace of Jesus Christ.

In 2 Timothy 4:7–8, Paul declared that he had fought a good fight, finished his course, and kept the faith.

He looked forward to receiving the crown of righteousness.

Life is a journey, and how we live matters.

Our earthly titles, possessions, and accomplishments will not follow us into eternity.

What matters most is our relationship with Jesus Christ.

As I celebrate another year, I’m reminded that the crown represents the reward, the robe represents righteousness — but Jesus is the reason we have hope for eternal life!

LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD

Around 3:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 7th, I was awakened from a sound sleep with the song “Voice of God” by Dante Bowe playing in my spirit.

I have learned that when songs are downloaded into my spirit, the Lord is ministering to me. I've also learned to listen for that still, small voice of God.

Years ago, I didn't understand what God was speaking to me in the middle of the night. I would wake up out of a sound sleep, grab my pen and paper, and begin writing poems.

I didn't realize it then, but I understand it now.

Many of the poems that I wrote years ago in the middle of the night have turned into a different format that I now call the Daily Dose Inspirations.

Sometimes God speaks through a song. Sometimes through Scripture. Sometimes through a thought that comes in the quietness of the night.

The important thing is to listen.

Jesus said:

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” — John 10:14 KJV

The Shepherd knows His sheep, and His sheep learn to recognize His voice.

There are many voices competing for our attention, but when you spend time with God, you learn to recognize His voice.

So today, my message is simple:

LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD.

You may discover that what you thought was just a thought, a song, or a middle-of-the-night awakening was actually God trying to get your attention.

Don’t miss the message while trying to figure out the Messenger.™ Y’all better stay with me—I’m going somewhere with these inspirations. Have a thankful Thursday. Let's go!”

Listen closely to the words of the song the Voice of God. This song is on heavy rotation around my camp.

Big Ups Daily Dose Family!

I’ve got a confession to make… I absolutely LOVE reggae music!

It’s my favorite genre of music, and once those reggae vibes start flowing, something just happens to my soul. The rhythm, the bass, the message, the laid-back groove—it’s medicine for me!
But every now and then, I suffer from a serious condition called REGGAE MYLITIS! 😂

The symptoms are easy to recognize: I start craving that bass line, looking for my reggae playlist, feeling the rhythm in my spirit, and wanting to be surrounded by nothing but good reggae music!

And there’s only ONE known cure for this condition:
A GOOD REGGAE FESTIVAL!

Give me some sunshine, good people, positive vibes, and some sweet reggae music, and I’ll be alright!

Reggae isn’t just music to me—it’s a feeling!

Jesus Will Fix It

At 2:35 a.m., I was wide awake with the song “He’ll Fix It” by Tim Rogers playing in my mind. It’s times like this that I believe the Holy Spirit is delivering a special message to me, so I hurriedly have to get the message out of my head so I can go back to sleep.

You see, my dad, William V. Porter, was a man who could fix almost anything. If something was broken, Daddy had a way of figuring it out. I had confidence in him because I knew that if Daddy said he could fix it, somehow, someway, he would.

As I thought about that this morning, I realized something: I need to have that same confidence in my Heavenly Father.

Just as my earthly father had the ability to fix things that were broken, my Heavenly Father has the ability to fix the broken areas of my life.

There are some things I may not know how to fix. Some situations are beyond my ability. Some problems may have me wondering, “How in the world am I going to get through this?”

But Jesus is reminding me: “I can fix it.”

I simply have to trust Him.
Sometimes we spend so much time trying to figure out how Jesus is going to fix it that we forget that our responsibility is simply to have faith in the One who can.

Daddy taught me confidence through what he could do with his hands. Jesus is teaching me confidence through what He can do with my life.

So today, whatever is broken, whatever is troubling you, whatever seems impossible to repair, put it in the hands of Jesus.

Jesus will fix it!

Now I can go back to sleep.

The Daily Dose: Command the morning

Job 38:12
In that verse, God asks Job, "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place?

”This wasn’t a literal instruction for Job to control the sunrise—it was a divine challenge.

God was reminding Job of His sovereignty and creative power. Job had questioned God’s justice amid suffering, so the Lord responded by revealing how vast His authority truly is—even over the rhythm of day and night.

Spiritually, many believers interpret this verse as a call to speak life and authority into each new day. "Commanding the morning” symbolizes aligning your words and faith with God’s will at the start of the day—declaring blessings, peace, and purpose before anything else can take shape.

In short, God's question showed Job his human limits. Our response today turns that awareness into action — using prayer and confession to set the tone for the day.

Have a spirit-filled Sunday.
