SUBMISSION TO FATHERS


Hebrews 12:9
[9]Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Our generation suddenly got to a junction where we realized that the scriptural values and truth are no more relevant to our set standard. It's appalling to see that our mindset as youths or adults is that submission might just means slavery. 

Another time we conclude that submission is meant for marriage and in fact only the wife is meant to exibit that character (and even though our generation yet again has discarded the functionality of submission in marriage due to modern day feminism.)

However, the Bible needs not our validation to be valid, the word of God is Ye and Amen. Jesus who is the image of God showed us several examples through his life that submission is important in our journey here on earth, he not only submitted to His father in heaven, he also proved submission as a leader that always serve the followers.

As a disciple of Christ, it's very important to first submit to or father in heaven, and this submission will make God to appoint a "Father" to always check your spiritual life. It's important to be accountable not just unto God but also to someone whom God has trained and given you to divinely guide you. 

The writer of Hebrew (whom I'm convinced to be Paul) talked about how important our biological fathers are to us and how also our spiritual fathers are also. We must submit to them so that we at least have a visible check to our life. 

If truly you have submitted to God, where is the proof if you have never shown submission to visible fathers? Don't be to proud, be accountable to God through your Fathers!

Maranatha.

IT'S ALREADY PREPARED

DAILY DIVINE WORD  (A Sunset Devotional) 26th July, 2025 THEME : It's Prepared Already. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE : Mark 14: 12-15: 12 - Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 - And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 - Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 - Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." If a man knows what has been prepared for him and when exactly it will come to him, maybe we would worry less, maybe we won't even be anxious over anything as the scripture advised us. But, the mystery about life and about walking with...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 26TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC: GUARD YOUR FREEDOM. TEXT:  1Cor.8.9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor.8.10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1Cor.8.11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1Cor.8.12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor.8.13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. TRUTHFULLY  Christ came to deliver freedom to us, Christ's freedom is also freedom indeed because He says "if the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." He has given us freedom from traditions, laws, old practices, superstitions, tales, and the likes. So we have liberty in J...

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL 4th May 2023   TOPIC : Living with Power   TEXT :  Acts 1:6-8 [ 6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. [8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. MANY people had thought that to make impact in life has to deal with having plenty money, while the Bible actually says money answers all things, we must understand that the Bible does not say money rules affairs. Also many people believes that mercy is the only key that opens a meaningful life, while that might be true, if mercy will not deliver Power to any one, the impact might be minimal. Many rich people w...
