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, and performance of miracles in His name—only to hear the dreadful words: “I never knew you; depart from Me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:23).

William F. Hill aptly observed that waiting until the day of resurrection to discover whether we are truly saved is risky business. Earthly titles, church attendance, moral reputation, or material success hold no currency in eternity. Heaven operates on perfect justice. Revelation 20:11-15 paints a sobering picture of the final judgment where books are opened, and each person is judged according to their deeds. Some who appeared holy on earth may be absent, while God’s justice astonishes many.

The thought of missing Heaven should stir urgency in your very heart. If this is the case, then, Delay is dangerous. Tomorrow is not promised. Today is the acceptable day of salvation.

Call To Action

Dear friend, if you have never experienced a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I invite you right now to surrender your life to Him. Admit your need for forgiveness that He offers. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again to bring you redemption. Confess Him as your Lord and Saviour. Open your heart to Him in simple, sincere prayer. Let today mark your registration in Heaven’s database through genuine repentance and faith.

Challenge

Don’t play spiritual roulette with eternity. Choose Jesus today—your soul’s security depends on it.

Prayer

O LORD, make today the day I begin to live a life free from sin. I surrender completely to the lordship of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Forgive me, cleanse me, and write my name in the Book of Life. 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...

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." ...
