DO NOT LABOUR FOR OTHERS AND NEGLECT YOUR SOUL

God bless you, as you take your time to study.

DO NOT LABOUR FOR OTHERS AND NEGLECT YOUR SOUL

TEXT: Mark 6:30-32 

THURSDAY JULY 14th

Key verse: 2 Timothy 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Love is the great commandment. The first is to love God and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself. God has not commanded you to love others and neglect yourself. That is why you must not labor for others to neglect your wellbeing. He wishes you to go on to the end until Jesus comes for you at death or in the rapture so that you can carry your ministry to the end. You need preservation and this preservation is for your body, your spirit, and your soul. God desires that we who minister to others in the gospel should also minister to ourselves so that we may be first partakers in the benefits of the gospel. He says. "Take care of yourself because I want fullness from you. I want you to receive the blessing of it, spiritually and physically.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Since the husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits, make sure you minister to your spirit and soul before ministering to others. By this understanding, we are combining both the spirit and the soul, although, in reality, we know that they are separate. Make sure that you take care of your spiritual life well. Don't neglect it for any reason. This counsel is essential because it is often the case with many Christian workers and ministers to overwork themselves serving others to neglect their wellbeing. They are busy working for others while they neglect their own lives. Eat well, rest well, sleep well and take good care of your health as you labor in the vineyard of God. This way, you will preserve yourself strong enough to face tomorrow’s task. Even Jesus in His earthly ministry found time to rest. Mark 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

Thought for the day: Take good care of yourself, physically and spiritually.

Song for the day: Grace, Thy grace alone is all I plead for.

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 13-16; Acts 18

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
