OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION IN THE FAMILY

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION IN THE FAMILY

TEXT: MATTHEW 22: 37-39  

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 12TH

Key verse: Matthew 22: 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
Both parents have headship over children. The Christian family must recognize the headship of Christ and willingly obey and submit to Him fully. The Christian family must dedicate itself to loving the Lord God with all their heart. God must come first and not the husband, wife, or children. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God is the first commandment. So, first things first. Woman, it is the Lord your God first, not your husband. You should love him, but God first. The man should love his wife but secondary to Christ. Children should love their parents, but their first love should be for Christ. The first love of everyone in the family should be to the Lord God. Parents should cherish their children, which is the second commandment, and should come after the first command. The first is the Lord your God. If the family has Jesus as the head, they should love Him with all their heart, soul, might, and strength.  
The husband's first duty in the family is to direct the love of the wife and children to God; not to himself.  Not your will, but God’s will; because He is your head and your God. Let your first love be directed at Him. Do not stop your wife from loving God. Give her time to worship God. It is one of the ways you will show your love for the Lord. Give her time to pray and study the scriptures and know her God. That is an expression of your love for God. Give her time to fellowship and attend conferences in her sincere love for God. Provide means of transportation for your wife and children to Christian meetings. God must come first in everything, and our actions should reflect that. When your children are not serious in the house of God but are serious in school; when you spend much money to send them to school but leave them at home when it is time for fellowship, that reflects how misplaced your priorities are. First things first: Love God, direct them to the love of God.   

Thought for the day: The Christian family must recognize the headship of Christ.

Song for the day: Abraham’s blessings are mine

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 1-3; Hebrews 9

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
