SUBMISSION IS A POWERFUL CHARM

When a man marries a GOOD WIFE, he is very happy; When he marries a BAD WIFE, HE BECOMES A PHILOSOPHER. Be careful who you marry. You see, marriage is not friendship. It serious business. You deserve happiness in your marriage. If you are a man you deserve respect and if you are a woman you deserve  love.

Remember, your husband is not just your friend, he is your lord. I know 21^st century ladies are raising eye brows at that line. Sarah called Abraham Lord. Young woman, he is not your husband if you CANNOT respect him. The ‘honour’ should be something that comes to you almost naturally. Not that you are designed to be inferior but you should see that man and know you can respect him.

Submission begins in courtship. It must be said that it is not in a woman to submit because everything a man can be, a woman can be. She has the same mind and intelligence, save the same strength . Since our world runs on an intellectual platform and frequency a woman can match any man. The Scripture didn’t say a woman should submit to a man. It said a wife should submit to her husband. Submission is deliberate. It is almost not natural. It is an instruction from God, not a suggestion. The beautiful thing is that it is that which can activate the love of a man..Submission is the charm that can activate love. However, having said this, let me say that as a lady there are some men you cannot submit

to no matter how you try. This is important in compatibility. Your man should be someone you can call lord and friend. Now he doesn’t have to be richer or more intelligent than you. If , however, this is important to you, go for that. This will help you obey the commandment of submission.

Young woman, if  your submission in attitude to your finance doesn’t activate his love then he may not be the one. Submission should activate love. Indication that you are compatible is that this happens.

Young man, there is a respect that comes over you when you meet the person you want to marry. Men sleep with girls; but they marry wives. Sex is not ultimately in their mind, marriage is. She can be your wife. She can be the mother of your children. Look at you say of her in the company of your friends, “Please meet my wife”. And there is a broad smile on your face while everyone stands to shake   her and even call her madam.

WHEN THE MAN IS RIGHT ,HIS WORLD WOULD BE RIGHT

A certain pastor was having trouble preparing his sermon on Saturday morning. He was in his  study, thinking , reflecting and trying to draft out things. No ideas were coming. He desperately needed to put together the sermon for the following day. His wife had to go to buy groceries and his 5 year old son was playing with himself, making loud playful noise in the sitting room. Irritated, the pastor went to the sitting room to get his son to calm down. “Johnny,” he said, “you are disturbing daddy. I need to prepare a sermon for tomorrow”

Johnny replied, “Daddy, do you know that an airplane’s wings are very, very long?”. He was gleeful and playful. Suddenly, the pastor had an idea. He went to his study, brought back an old magazine, tore out the central page that had the map of the world and ripped it into several pieces. Then he said to Johnny, “You know what? If you put together the pieces of the world map, I will give $3”. He assumed that it would keep Johnny quiet and be busy for a very long time, giving him room to prepare his sermon.

However, in less than 5 minutes Johnny was back in his study. “Daddy , I am through. Come and see it.” His father went with him to the sitting room to see. Indeed, the pieces had been put together.

“How did you do it so fast, Johnny?” the pastor asked.

“Well, daddy, I noticed that there was the picture of a man behind the world map. So I realized that if I can put the man right I can put the world right. So I did. Then I carefully turned it over it over and got the world right too.”

Amazing! Floods of inspiration drained the pastor’s soul. He now had a message: If the man is right, the world will be right!

We keep trying to fix our world when we should be fixing ourselves. Once we are right, our world would be right. Our world is only a reflection of us.
