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:

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
