SUMISSION TO YOUR HUSBSND MADE EASY!

The Gene for  dominion is in every man and woman created in the image and likeness of God.   The woman is created for dominion; to be in charge of every other thing God has created just as the man. 

In the Animal kingdom, there is order. All  Lions in the jungle are kings but there is always a Lion King as the  famous children movie reveals in  ' The Lion King' film.

I Peter 3:4

They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. 

Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2;3

They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same

No believer can live according to the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus without the power and the life of the indwelling Holy Spirit.  True submission in all its ramifications is not possible excerpt by the power of The Spirit .

We see woman especially wives who are not believers display a degree of submission to your hubby but we can categorically state that it's not true submission. It is  submissioñ attained by a methodical mental conditioning whose foundation is rooted in fear.

True submission is borne in a knowledge of God and His way. You know as a woman and a wife that you have been liberated from the curse of subjugation to the man.

But you also know that God's says " You should submit one to another out of reverence for Christ and commande the wives to submit to their husbands as unto the LORD 

Therefore as a wife, you consciously set your gaze on Jesus Christ , the author and finisher of your faith and made up your mind to obey His voice and command in all things because Jesus Christ, your LORD deserved it.

Though you are as qualified as your husband, as rich as hi, as anointed as him, you deliberately yield your will to honour him, obey him, love him as you will respect the senior pastor of your church or the chairman of the firm where you work.

QUESTION 

Does your husband have to deserve this respect and honour?

ANSWER

NO!  but the Jesus Christ who asked you to respect and honour your husband and the everlasting Father deserves that you hear their words as written in the Bible and obey it with joy.

This kind of unconditionally obedience is only possible by the life and power of the Holy Spirit.

You are not called to live the Christian life by your strength, rather you must learn to live from within your spirit to your soul and then this manifests in your body. 

The power you need to become all that God requires of you is within you and as you engage the Word of God  ( through diligently studying the Bible and applying it, the power within is activated.)

We took this time to explain how the submission mandate can be adequately executed. Submission is compulsory for every relationship in the Kingdom.

SUMISSION  IS THE BEDROCK FOR ANY IMPORTANT HUMAN RELATIONSHIP.

The Book of Ephesians 5:21 reads this in other versions.

NCV version

Yield to obey each other as you would  to Christ

THE MESSAGE

Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another

Submission becomes difficult when you possess a pattern of thinking or mindset that tells you that submitting to your husband or others means you surrending your will and desires to please others   Excerpt when helped by the Holy  Spirit, l don't take lightly to anyone infringing on my right. I would get angry and retort a negative  response if l sense that you are trying to take unnecessary advantage of me. 

QUESTION

Is the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of me?

ANSWER

Yes, of course, the Holy Spirit is given to me to dwell forever unless l totally renounce Christ publicly.

Then why do l exhibit character traits that does not resonant or agrees with the fruit of the Spirit as stated on Galatians 5:21-24. I do this because at that very moment, l made a decision to walk in the flesh; l yielded my will to do the bidding of the flesh instead of exhibit the fruit of the Spirit.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit"

In moments or conflict between the dictates of the flesh and the spirit; l must make a choice, (it may be conscious or unconscious based on what data of response l pre- programmed into my mind located in my soul)  to either yield to the flesh and it desires or accept the input from my spirit which is the house of the Holy Spirit.

The human soul is located  between the spirit and the body of a man. Every thoughts and information from the Holy Spirit is passed to the human soul who process it and then passed a final modified set of information to body parts which are the  executor of visible actions.

The soul has the sole right and ability to do the following to the instructions received from the Holy Spirit via your spirit:

1. Outrightly reject  these information because it differs from what is stored in the human mind. 

In my case, my spirit would have said 

"Hephzibah, over look the cheating and the negative attitude of this under- age girl"

These  words are  passed as thoughts to my mind which received it. But unfortunately the previous  data stored in my mind to deal with this kind of infringement on my right is;

DATA IN MY MIND

-Never allow anybody to cheat you, it shows you are a weak person or that you have a low estimation about your self

- Respect is earned and enforced, always show people you are in charge.

The above is the information stored in my mind awaiting the instruction and leading from the Holy Spirit in my innerman which says overlook this wrong so that it will not result in a fight that would bring reproach to the Name of Jesus Christ.

Therefore l have a choice to either yield my will to obey the what is coming from the Spirit or obey the voice of the flesh. This is why the Bible says in Romans 8:5-8

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God."

"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 

FOR THE  FLESH DESIRES WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. THEY ARE IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18

This is why a person finds it difficult to submit to other people.

BUT the Bible says  " Rather, serve one another humbly in love. Gal. 5:13
