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

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...
