TOPIC: THE SUBMISSION OF WIFE’S RESOURCES TO HER HUSBAND.       December Monday 23rd
TEXT: Ephesians 5: 22-24
KEY VERSE: Genesis 2: 24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Submission means the act of submitting or yielding to the power or authority of another; obedience, or the spirit of subjection. A lot has been said in the previous section about the wife’s obedience to the husband. Here we are going to talk about the wife submitting her resources to her husband. In many marriages the husband and the wife own their property differently even among Christian couples. And in some cases the wives even struggle to control the family property. This is not biblical and as in every case, anything not done in the will of God results in afflictions and conflicts. The submission of the wife’s resources follows the pattern which God has already set for marriage.
The husband and the wife, the scripture says, are one. Is it their resources that should not be one? “Wives submit yourselves…” Eph.5:22, if you submit yourself, is your property not part of yourself? The wife controlling her property is against the law of God because the husband is the head of the wife and the head is the one controlling the natural body. The wife saying “my car, my money, my house, mine, mine, mine, is an act of rebellion/disobedience and will attract divine judgment.
If God has made them one from the beginning, why are their resources not one? Gen.3:16 tells the wife, “…thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee”. Then the matter is finished, wife. Any action contrary to this word of God is sin. And sin will take to hell fire. Areas of Submission- include – your money, every other property and your body. How this is done must be in total agreement and cordiality with the husband. Anyway it is done without the husband’s total consent is not divinely acceptable and it is sin. 1Cor. 7:4 says, “The wife hath no power of her own body, but the husband…”. Refusal of your body to your husband in sex is sin.
Thought for the day: If God has made them one from the beginning, why are their resources not one?
Song for the day: Bind us together Lord....
Bible reading for the day:
Habakkuk; Revelation 14

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...
