Hebrews 13:17
Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Pastor said that the instruction to obey presupposes you to already have a shepherd 🙌
But this morning I have also read👇
They watch out for your souls "
watching over the soul isn't surveillance and being a monitoring spirit 😃it's shepherding until Christ be formed in us .
A shepherd is not just watching what you are becoming but also what you are consuming because they have an accountability to God to steward the souls of His flock faithfully.
See,the Lord being a good shepherd ,He makes us lie in green pastures and leads beside still waters because that is where the soul is restored.
Your soul is the faculty that receives knowledge ,the ear it is given to matters because that determines it's transformation or lack of.
Jesus after restoring Peter assigns him to feed His lambs ,He knew Peter had the right food for His lambs
Watching out for the soul is not just In what the soul is changing into but what the soul is feeding on , like, how wholesome you are is purely dependent on the diet you are on.
Now they that labour in word and doctirne are worthy of double honour , not just obedience because if they watch over you poorly ,it's a fail to the soul .
Honour the shepherd that feeds you well because a soul without knowledge is not good ✨
