Wife submit to your husband!

Wife submit to your husband! from The Seminary Dropout on Vimeo.




Foundation Scriptures
Ephesians 5
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.



Genesis 2
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."


We (husbands) need your emotional support, encouragement, unconditional love, and undying love in our abilities to fulfill our destiny.


Points/Questions
Why do you think the Bible addresses husbands to love their wives and for wives to respect their husbands? Ephesians 5:33 Could it be that men generally need to feel respected in order to feel loved? Men, feel loved and appreciated through respect.


The Bible doesn’t state wives, if your husband is a Christian or lives a Christian lifestyle, submit to him. You are commanded to submit to your husband regardless of any matter. This is possible by taking yourself out the equation.


Would you openly disrespect a police officer? Definitely not, due to his authority. According to the Bible, your husband authority over you is directly correlated to Christ’s authority over the Church. If you are not respecting your husband in this manner and truly revere the Lord, you will openly repent and apologize to your husband.


What things are you to submit to your husband? Everything!


What does the ‘head’ mean? The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. The Message (Ephesians 5:23)


Ephesians 5:22-24 (The Message)
22-24Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.


Men, God is calling us to lead. Nothing has changed from Old Testament times to this present day. You are the key agent to your family. Encouragement: Stop passing responsibilities to your wife, that God has commanded you to perform.


Benefits

What are you seeking?




Welcome to my blog! I'm very excited about following God's calling. For the last four years, I have stated that there was no way for me to begin. Well, the Internet has provided an outlet. Praise the Lord! This is my third posting to this blog. I did not want to inform anyone of my endeavors until I actually had a video or audio sermon. This sermon has taken time, prayer, and patience. I finally finished a message without completely fumbling over my words. As you watch the video, you will see that I clearly struggled. With all this said, I am stepping out in faith. I pray and hope that my journey will encourage you to follow God's will for your life. This is my true intention. Please pray for my family and I as we become more radical towards serving the Lord. We will do the same for you- simply request it.


Alright, I pray for mercy and grace. Remember, this is my first message.


May God bless you and Keep it righteous!

Husband love your wife!

Husband love your wife! from The Seminary Dropout on Vimeo.



This is my actual first message on this blog. The posting was ready on August 15th, but I had to find a place to upload a 14 minute video. YouTube and Google would not allow. Therefore, this is why the posting was delayed. Believe it or not, it took me approximately 30 attempts before I was able to 'not mess' up (completely) before its entirety.

These are small steps of faith and obedience. I'm excited and anticipate a continuous flow of God's anointing in my steps of obedience. I asked for your prayers for my wife, children, and myself. As a family, our hearts are to please God. In order to do this, there will be some things that we will have to give up. I believe God will patiently deal with us regarding these matters. He desires for us (all) to be blessed significantly. In all the ways that I have been greatly blessed; it came with a cost (sacrifice). Although, cost is not a good way to communicate, due to its negative connotation. The initial step of obedience is typically tough, but after breaking through 'the door... walking in line' became/becomes easier each day. I'm aware this act may be the same.

I hope and pray that you are encouraged by the message; that it will be a blessing to your marriage. If you are not married, I believe you still will be blessed.
