DON’T LABOUR FOR OTHERS TO THE NEGLECT OF YOUR SOUL

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: DON’T  LABOUR FOR OTHERS TO THE NEGLECT OF YOUR SOUL    July Wednesday 22nd
TEXT: Mark 6:30-32
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, which is like it, is to love your neighbour as yourself. God has not commanded you to love others to the neglect of yourself. That is why you must not labour for others to the neglect of your own wellbeing. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, “I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” See how he wishes you to go on to the end until the Lord comes for you, either at death or in the rapture, so that you can carry your ministry to the tail end. You need preservation and this preservation is for your body, for your spirit, and for your soul. God desires that we who minister to others in the gospel should also minister to ourselves so that we may be first partaker in the benefits of the gospel. He is talking to us who are ministers, “Take care of yourself because I want fullness from you. I want you to receive the blessing of it, spiritually and physically.” 

Today’s key verse says, “The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.” 
This verse is saying that you must 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 the neglect of their own 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 labour 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: Psalm 36-37; Acts 23:1-11

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...
