MINISTERING TO OTHERS AND NEGLECTTING YOURSELF TUESDAY MAY 23
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2: 4 - 6
Key Verse: “Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept” Song of Solomon 1 : 6
Busy, busy, busy woman! Busy, busy, busy man! But what kept you busy? Human beings kept me busy. My mother’s children. They kept me busy. I was busy serving them. I was busy serving others. You are busy serving others in the Church. You are busy serving others in the Chapter meeting. You are busy serving others in Holiness Revival Movement. Good as it is, but see what she revealed – They made me keeper of the vineyards, vineyards in plural . . . . This person’s vineyard, that person’s vineyard, I go here, I go there, to please them, because they are getting angry with me. I am running dry so as to keep people peaceful. But she said, My own vineyard, I had one for myself. I am busy going after theirs, but my own vineyard I have not kept. See me now, I am black. The sun has looked down upon me. Why? Going up and down, caring for people’s vineyards, but my own? You have a soul, you have a spirit.
You are a pastor. You have a spirit that cries because he is hungry. He is crying. The spirit is crying. You have a spirit. Yet you have a soul, a soul that dies because of sin, for the soul that sinneth it shall die. That soul that you are starving, it shall die! That soul that you are not feeding is your vineyard. It is your own vineyard. Your soul is crying and yet you are a preacher. You are a preacher! In fact, the people are testifying to your service, they are no longer angry. They are testifying but your soul is not cared for. Now come, what has taken over her vineyard? There are laws in this life, brother. There are laws. God will not change the law for you, except in His perfect wisdom and it is required for His glory, which is not often like that. Now that you didn’t keep your vineyard, what has happened to it? Foxes have come over your vineyard. Nobody is there to care for your vineyard. Little by little, little by little, little by little, your tender grapes are being spoiled. Your tender, fresh Christian life is being spoiled. Your true spiritual peace is now under turbulence. It is not cared for.
Thought for the day: Listen to the voice and the cry of your spirit.
Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony.
Chronicles 8-10 John 8 : 37-59

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
