GOD'S CHASTISEMENT

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION Inspiring Excellence & Godly Success GOD'S CHASTISEMENT Bible Text: Hebrews 12:5-12 Memory Verse "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth" (Hebrews 12:6) ✦ ✦ ✦ Adults do remember how their parents chastised them when they were growing up in order to prevent them from going the wrong way in life. Often, this chastisement would not be appreciated by growing minds. Parents who chastise their children do not hate them, but they do so to help them remain focused on life's essentials. This is exactly the way God relates with you as His exceptional jewel—especially if you are a business mogul or a rising star carrying significant influence and responsibility. The marketplace is filled with high-stakes decisions, sudden market shifts, failed launches, betrayed partnerships, and seasons of seeming stagnation. These are not always signs of divine abandonment; many...

ARE YOU KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS

Singing the God's song of love becomes more melodious when it is done with obedience to His words. ARE YOU KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENT? 📖 BIBLE READING: JOHN 14:15-19 📖 Key Verse: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15) Many believers joyfully sing, “I love Jesus, I love Jesus, He’s my friend…” with uplifted hands and sincere emotion. Yet, the true test of our love for Christ is not found in the sweetness of our songs, but in the obedience of our daily lives . Jesus Himself gave us the clearest measure of authentic love in John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” This statement is both simple and profound. Loving Jesus is not merely an emotional feeling or occasional religious activity. It is a deliberate, consistent choice to align our lives with His Word. When we truly love Him, we reject stealing, lying, hatred, fighting, disobedience, witchcraft, stubbornness, and every form of sin that grieves the Holy S...

NO QUICK FIXES!

Winners' Interest Publication NO QUICK FIXES! 📖 BIBLE READING: EXODUS 5:15-23 🔑 KEY VERSE: “For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all” (Exodus 5:23). The challenges of life often breed severe pain and discomfort. As a result, many tend to desire a quick fix from the Lord, that He will waste no time in giving them a solution. But God does not work by man’s timetable, nor does He always answer when we desire it most. Varonika Tugaleva, an award-winning author and poet, has some fitting words of admonition: “Whatever you do, it will be a path. Life does not work like a light switch - on/off, fat/skinny, miserable/happy. All things take time, patience...

GLORIOUS RESTORATION

★ WINNERS' INTEREST ★ ✦ ✧ ✦ Glorious Restoration Bible Text: Genesis 46:28-34 Key Verse "And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while." (Genesis 46:29) The story of Jacob and Joseph offers a beautiful picture of joyful restoration. Joseph, long presumed dead by his grieving father, had risen to become a powerful ruler in Egypt. After years of heartache, the moment of reunion finally arrived. Joseph prepared his chariot, hurried to Goshen, and fell on his father's neck, weeping tears of joy (Genesis 46:29). The long separation ended in warm embrace and deep satisfaction. This emotional homecoming takes the similitude of the triumphant return of American troops after Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Families rejoiced as soldiers came home safely. Jacob'...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...

VICTORY PRONOUNCEMENT FOR GOD'S PEOPLE

Winners' Interest Publication VICTORY PRONOUNCEMENT FOR GOD'S PEOPLE BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 45:8-16 ✦ Key Verse ✦ "So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." (Genesis 45:8, KJV) Joseph lived a remarkable life that stands as a testimony to God’s divine providence. When he became a prominent figure in Egypt, he revealed himself to his astonished brothers who had sold him into slavery years earlier. The bewilderment of his brothers left them with the realisation of God's transformative ability. They soon understood that what they meant for evil, God used for the preservation of His people. This story mirrors that of an abandoned child thrown into the garbage by a heartless mother, only to be rescued and raised b...

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...
