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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
