Submission Pt. 1


Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.James 4:7

We have to willingly submit to God's authority otherwise, the individual will be forcefully driven by the devil. Man was never created to be completely independent without a spiritual oversight.

In our daily lives as believers, it's required that we submit to one another. Ephesians 5:21,
"Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." this is not a one way thing.

As man and wife, submission is required, to live a blessed and fruitful life together. Ephesians 5:22,25,33
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."

Any and everything about the kingdom of God is about submitting.
Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, have to be done willingly(when you are willing, you submit). The person will have to, willingly submit to Christ's authority, Romans 10:9-10. If you don't submit to Christ, the enemy(devil) will forcefully impose himself on you, as a matter of fact, Satan is already the master, of the unsaved, through Adam's transgression and the disobedient.

There is a clear distinction between both kingdoms.
In identifying this, we need to understand the spirit behind the events of our daily lives.
Anything that is forceful or impulsive is from Satan's kingdom and its evil.
Following God's instructions requires our willingness, it requires our submission to His Leadership, it is freewill. God will never impose Himself on anybody. Revelation 3:20 say,
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." This is how the blessing is activated; in a place of submission, and unity. Psalm 133:3.

Have a fruitful week, in Jesus name! 

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
