CARE WELL FOR YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: CARE WELL FOR YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY

TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:22-24   

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 3rd

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 part well God will surely do His. It is a covenant. It is an agreement between you and God concerning your preservation. God will do His part because He is faithful. After all, you pray to Him, and others intercede for you. You too must play your role well. It is the desire of God that we should be spiritually fruitful, holy, and healthy.
3 John 1:1-2 1 The elder unto the well-beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 
This scripture states the same biblical truth; the prosperity, soundness, and well-being of the whole man (the spirit, the soul, and the body), is desired by God. We should desire this for ourselves and our fellow brethren. The soul and spirit form the spiritual man which is not seen as the physical body. Very often, the spirit and the soul are closely joined together but the word of God reveals that they can be separated. Desire your brother’s well-being. With the members of your Church their well-being. Paul said I have not shunned to present to 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 be available for God's service.

Song for the day: My spirit, soul, and body praise the Lord.

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 70-72; Romans 4

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
