Submission -A Biblical Perspective

1. What a wonderful teaching and deep insight into submission..
   Taking into account the comments made on video clips and the speaker’s analysis, I would sum up in few words, Just like Love, Submission should start from above, First to God and then to Leaders and or People, in that order, the ultimate purpose God has for his people would easily be achieved.- we all know everything we do is for God’s Glory.
   However it is easy to submit if you truly have a knowledge of submission as presented in this teaching, and also continuously seeking him through his word, and by GRACE it will also help us to discern between a true call to submission and abuse or misuse of submission.
   I don’t find it hard for a lot of us submitting to GOD and some authorities especially Government/work place (simply because there are visible consequences if you don’t) but failing to submit to some leaders and each other mostly because of PRIDE.
   We WERE born sinners and rebellious nature was part of us, through knowing Christ and his word (as born again), the RENEWING of our mind from Pride to having a humble spirit will help us to be submissive- however like everything else, It’s a process..because the old nature (flesh) is still part of us, the bible has given us examples to follow at every level, Eg. Sarah (Wife) Hagar (Servant) David (king), Jesus (Beloved Son), Daniel, Joseph and the list goes on,
   GOD, help us to have teachable hearts, so that the old nature (Man) will have no power over us, “Blessed are the humble for they will inherit the whole Earth”
   GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU, PS BEYA.

   1. Great feedback sis Hadija!

      I like your reference to the possibility of submission being abused.
      To take it further, I thing one subtle form of abuse of submission which is not often mentioned is when the one called to submit uses submission as an excuse for not taking responsibility in terms of self-development or rising up as a capable helper especially in marriage.
      True, we all need the grace of God to remain in the fullness of his will.

      Please keep us and this ministry in your prayers.

      Stay richly blessed!

      Ps Beya
