📖   Text: Exodus 4:27–31

"And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him."

— Exodus 4:27

"Strength of my heart, I need not fail,
Not mind to fear but to obey,
With such a Leader, who could quail?
Thou art as Thou wert yesterday.
Strength of my heart, I rest in Thee,
Fulfil Thy purposes through me."

Some people are at a loss as to how to know and do the will of God. In the ensuing confusion, they take the law into their own hands and usually make wrong assumptions. This in turn leads to a more complicated situation, creating unnecessary problems where simple faith in God would have sufficed.

All through history, God has developed definitive ways of leading His children. Even when it appears that He has changed His original plan just because we crave some convenience and comfort, He would still stick to the first principles of getting His work done in His own way. There is never an argument when God is leading His people. He spoke to Aaron to go to the desert to welcome his brother, Moses, who narrated to him his experiences with God and the assignment he was to carry out. Together they gathered the Israelites, briefed them on God's plans for their nation, showed them the initial signs God had given Moses — and the people believed — and worshipped the Lord.

Never get to a point when you begin to think that you know your interests better. God alone knows what is good for you. Whether in the choice of career, a partner to marry, a place to live and do your business; indeed, in every area of life, ask God to guide and lead you into His perfect will. Therein lies the secret of peace and happiness, success and great accomplishments.

⚡ Challenge

Trust in the LORD and you shall not be removed from His benevolence.

🙏 Prayer

Almighty Father, guide my decision making ability to conform with your Will, in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE BREAD THAT SATISFIES

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION THE BREAD THAT SATISFIES Bible Reading: Isaiah 55:1-3 (KJV) Key Verse “Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.” (Isaiah 55:2) The reality in our world today remains that some souls are bent on chasing fleecing pleasures and material possessions. It becomes appalling when souls that were created to praise and glorify the Almighty God chose pursuit of ephemeral treasure. In the heart of this, our text for consideration draws attention to a bread that can be bought without the price of modern day money. It goes a step further to state how unreasonable it is to spend one's lifetime value on intangible investment. Exposing the emptiness of worldly pursuits, our he...

RISKY BUSINESS

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION RISKY BUSINESS Bible Reading: Matthew 7:21 - 23 Memory Verse “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matthew 7:23) In our tech-driven world, face detection apps guard smartphones, homes, and offices with remarkable precision. A recognized face grants instant access; an unrecognized one is firmly denied. This modern reality mirrors a profound spiritual truth. Just as security systems reject unknown faces, Heaven’s gates will not open to those unregistered through a genuine salvation experience. Jesus Christ issues a sobering warning in Matthew 7:21 : “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Many will stand before Him on that day, citing impressive works of prophesy, the casting out demons, ...

DECLARATION OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS

Winners' Interest – Declaration of God's Faithfulness Winners' Interest ✦ Winners' Interest ✦ Daily Devotional  |  Faith • Hope • Victory ✝ Declaration of God's Faithfulness TEXT: PSALM 13:1–6 Key Verse "I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me." — Psalms 13:6 Life has a way of pressing us into corners where the only words that seem to fit are questions: "How long, O Lord?" David knew this season well. In the opening verses of Psalm 13, the psalmist pours out raw honesty before God—feeling forgotten, hidden from, and overwhelmed by sorrow and enemies. Yet something powerful happens by the time we reach verse 6. David shifts from lament to praise. He declares with confidence, "I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me." ...
