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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
