A Word for the Married


TEXT: Ephesians 5:22-24(NKJV)

5:22. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

5:23. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

5:24. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.

STUDY: It is important to note that in Bible teachings, encounter precedes doctrine, in other words, before God places a behavioral demand on man, He has made a provision for encounter with Him, so that the behaviour when expressed, becomes a reflection of God’s glory and not a manifestation of man’s ‘achievement.’.

This principle applies in our text for today: God originally designed marriage to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church; and the matrimonial instructions in our passage are deliberately put after we have been shown who we are in Christ (as seen in chapters 1 to 3 of the Book of Ephesians). Against that backdrop therefore, we are shown how believing couples should live.

 For Christians, submission and love are expressions of humility, trust and reverence towards God’s design for marriage. It involves a willingness to yield to one another and consider a priority, the needs and well-being of the spouse. However, Christian marriage among other things, should emphasize mutual submission, sacrificial love, and servant leadership. Therefore, whether you are married or not, please note that God desires our daily living to mirror his character, especially in our homes. Are you still in love with your wife? Wife, do you submit to your husband?

PRAYER: Lord, please build our homes to glorify you, Amen!

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
