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. 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...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
