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!

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

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....
