Admin	wives sumit to your husands....... Posted : 9 May, 2015 06:22 AM charis shalon to all the sis here From my experience in counseling couples and would be couples, i have come to realize that the commandment that wives should submit to their husbands is really an issue with most sisters; What i always tell them is that we do not need to bother about this commandment at all! If we look carefully at it, we will realize that it is a commandment that favors us the women. How u may ask? Yes we have been commanded to submit to our men but we get to choose who to submit to!! We have been endowed with the exclusive right to choose the man we submit to. Isn't that great? So dear sis, bother no more and just ask the Lord to help u see the one to whom u can submit ur entire being to.. May he help us to choose the right man; the one who was pre ordained for us... Amen Post Reply

Eph 5:24 Not only are we to submit to our husbands but we are to submit to him in EVERYTHING just as the Church submits to Christ in everything. :angel: Post Reply

Yes, it is your choice to choose who you will be submitted to. May God give you that guidance... Post Reply

"The question is often asked, �Shall a wife have no will of her own?� The Bible plainly states that the husband is the head of the family. �Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands.� If this injunction ended here, we might say that the position of the wife is not an enviable one; it is a very hard and trying position in very many cases, and it would be better were there fewer marriages. Many husbands stop at the words, �Wives, submit yourselves,� but we will read the conclusion of the same injunction, which is. �As it is fit in the Lord.� God requires that the wife shall keep the fear and glory of God ever before her. Entire submission is to be made only to the Lord Jesus Christ, who has purchased her as His own child by the infinite price of His life. God has given her a conscience, which she cannot violate with impunity. Her individuality cannot be merged into that of her husband, for she is the purchase of Christ. It is a mistake to imagine that with blind devotion she is to do exactly as her husband says in all things, when she knows that in so doing, injury would be worked for her body and her spirit, which have been ransomed from the slavery of Satan. There is One who stands higher than the husband to the wife; it is her Redeemer, and her submission to her husband is to be rendered as God has directed��as it is fit in the Lord.� :peace::peace: Post Reply
