CARE WELL FOR YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: CARE WELL FOR YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY           July Tuesday 14th
TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24
KEY VERSE: 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 

What today’s reading text is saying is that the three persons in a man – the spirit, the soul and the body, should be well cared for and well preserved. We know that it is the responsibility of God to preserve us blameless to the end and we always pray to God for this. However, we also share in this responsibility. This makes it a dual responsibility. If we do our own part well, God will surely do His own. It is a covenant. It is an agreement between you and God, concerning the preservation of yourself to the end of your life. God will do His own because He is faithful, because you pray to Him, and others intercede for you. But you too must play your own role well. It is the desire of God that we should be spiritually fruitful, holy and healthy.

In 3 John 1:1–2 the Bible says, The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. This scripture is restating the same biblical truth. The prosperity of the whole man, the soundness of the whole man, the wellbeing of the whole man - the spirit, the soul and the body - are all desired by God. This should also be our desire for ourselves and fellow brethren. Of course, the spirit and the soul form the spiritual man, which we do not see. What we see is the physical body. We cannot touch our spirit or our soul, and very often, the spirit and the soul are joined very tightly together. The Bible says that it is the word of God that can separate the two, but what we see is the body. So, be careful. Wish your brother his wellbeing. Wish the members of your Church their wellbeing. Paul said, I have not shunned to present unto you all that is profitable for you, because I desire your wellbeing. I desire your spiritual welfare. I desire your bodily welfare also, that you may prosper in health. We need it, we want you to be healthy in the body. If you are not healthy, how do you carry out the work of God? 

Thought for the day: Care for your whole being to make yourself available for God’s service.
Song for the day: My spirit, soul and body praise the Lord…..
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 13-16; Acts 18

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
