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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
