TOPIC: LOVE AND SUBMISSION IN MARRIAGE  

TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:21-33

KEY VERSE: 1 PETER 3:1: Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of wives; 

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one but there is the head. He is the Father. The Son honored and glorified the Father when He was on earth. The Holy Spirit now leads us to glorify the Son and glorify the Father. So, there is headship, the God of life set a leader over all institutions. The head of Christ is God; the head of the man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man. 

The headship in the house is the man. God made him to be the head God made him to be in control. When Jesus was on earth he yielded to the headship of the father. He did not win us to Himself. Even when people called Him good master, He gave it back to God, saying, who is good but God alone (Mark 10:17-18).

If you give your husband the headship of that house, you will have your own place properly protected, because you and your husband are one. But contention of the woman for headship in the home has sometimes been the reason for problems in marriage. The woman refusing to submit to the man as the head is something that runs against the basic tenet of marriage. 

In reality, the woman is equally intelligent, well-educated and probably has a doctorate degree. In fact, she is a professor. She has the money. She is even earning more than the man. Because of that there is power tussle on who is the head. Woman God expects that you should submit to your husband. God never gave headship to the woman. 

Husband, the woman is submitting the headship to you, then you rule in love. Man, if you want your glory, then promote your wife. Love your wife, as she is convenient so you will be happy. So if you treat your wife badly and the woman is provoked, how do you enjoy peace in the house? Love her, care for her, be patient with her and appreciate her good works.

Thought for the day: the headship in the house is the man. 

Song for the day: Give me grace to follow, I need your grace to follow. 

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 44-46

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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
