Submission
The subject of submission is widely misunderstood by many as being evidence of weakness or stupidity. Perhaps from a worldly perspective women may feel as though submission to a man belittles them, especially to men that are less educated or who earn less than they do. However, from a biblical perspective, submission is equated with power, because the primary object of submission is God. It is for His purpose that He instituted the principles governing submission and so therefore when we abide by these precepts, we give honor to Him and also become subject to His will. When we walk in submission we walk in power, because the enemy will not find a loophole through rebellion to covertly operate and carry out his diabolical plans to bring division; strife; contention and witchcraft.
In the area of leadership many women neglect the importance of submission to their husbands, because they are in a position which transcends above their husbands from a spiritual point of view. Women, who function in the office of Pastor, often forget to step into the biblical role of the wife after stepping out of the pulpit, thereby bringing into the home an atmosphere of dominance. Hence, the spirit of Jezebel finds a loophole to subtly begin to operate; maneuvering in the marriage and in the ministry to cause chaos and confusion.
It is true that many husbands have abdicated their roles as priest and spiritual leader in the home, nevertheless, God expects us to walk in submission and honor Him by honoring them. What is your view on this subject?
