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

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...
