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

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...
