  TAKE NO OFFENCE Luke 7:18-30 Devotional:- “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” (v.23) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKE NO OFFENCE Support Us Luke 7:18-30 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Sometimes, men easily get offended. That is, they get annoyed and refuse to relate to one another. Many of us have some people we don’t greet now on this account. Some people have taken offence at their parents and relations, and they refused to relate to them. The truth is that if you know the harm you are doing to yourself by so doing, you will give up on this.   In the scripture we read today, John the Baptist was not happy because Jesus did not come to rescue him from prison, and he took offence at Christ. He sent messengers to Jesus to ask if He was the Christ or not. This question see...

SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION

Devotional:- “Submitting to one another in the fear of God” (V. 21)

        Most people look at the word submission as a statement of weakness. In the world, the word submission interprets surrender i.e., to accept defeat and submit to fate. So, most people struggle in life because they have dreams and aspiration they don’t know how to achieve. The truth is that until God is part of our race, it may be hard to achieve. The word submission in the word of God is living to allow the will of God to be done in all areas of our lives (Matthew 26:39).

The word of God says, we should submit to each other in the fear of the Lord. This is to allow the will of God to direct the way we relate. Whenever we are doing this, we are giving honour to Christ by doing what pleases Him. Whenever we reference and submit to each other, then, we are cooperating with each other. In submission, we respect each other. This is an act of letting the opinion of others count. It is willingness to listen and take counsel or correction from others.

To be submissive does not mean we don’t know what we are doing, but rather to tolerate and allow other people’s opinion. This helps us to foster unity and friendship. The word of God specifically asks the women to submit to their husband (Ephesians 5:22). This is to be done as unto the Lord. This will give your husband a mentality of leadership and headship. That will help you to observe and counsel him. By that, you will be his best adviser. It will therefore be wise that men also submit and listen to the advice of their wives. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a submissive Spirit.

“SUBMISSION IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, BUT WISDOM”
