SUBMISSION OF THE MARRIED WOMAN TO HER HUSBAND.  SUNDAY NOVEMBER 19
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:22-24, COLOSSIANS 4:18                                                       
Key Verse: “Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29
Wives are commanded in scripture to obey and submit to their own husbands in everything as the church obeys and submits to Christ. The headship of the husband, even the unbelieving one, over the wife, is compared to the headship of Christ over the church. The submission of the wife to her husband should be in the same degree as the submission of the church to Christ. The Christian wives should obey and submit to their unbelieving husbands to the point that some of them can become converted by observing the godly and unblemished life of their wives.
However, the submission by the wife to her husband should be “as it is fit in the Lord”. Submission to the husband does not involve satisfying his sinful passions or obeying his ungodly demands and commands. The husband is not the owner of her soul but God and she is nowhere instructed to jeopardize her eternal life in order to maintain the earthly marriage union. As the 3 Hebrew children answered king Nebuchadnezzar, so must a Christian wife humbly but firmly answer her husband when he goes evil in demand and exercise of authority over her. The marriage relationship and its earthly privileges should be despised when the husband demands submission of the wife to his idols and Satan. God is able to keep her in the marriage if He so wishes. She must not lose her soul to hell because of the fierceness of her husband. If God chooses not to preserve her in the marriage, she should be ready to terminate the marriage for the sake of her Lord Jesus and her eternal soul, not minding whatever she may suffer.
Thought for the day: Submission to the ungodly and sinful demands of your husband is idolatry.
Song for the day: Jesus must be honoured, must be honoured (2x) in my life everyday

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 20-21; James 1

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...
