PRACTICE SUBMISSION

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” (Philippians 2:5 KJV)

The Word of God declares concerning Jesus, “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:6-8 NLT)

If we can all imitate Jesus, and how He lived His life, humbling Himself beyond what the human mind can even comprehend, this world will indeed be a better place. If husbands and wives can choose to submit one to another they will keep the peace and be together. If they don’t begin to argue about who is right and who is wrong, there will be less divorce. If the group leader can say, instead of the group being destroyed let me suffer wrong, there will be progress.

Jesus suffered wrong. He submitted His will because of a much bigger picture, a grander plan. Why should you destroy the work of God because of your little ego? The kingdom is more important! Jesus said let me die because I know if I put my life in His hands, He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him until the end.

God wants you to be yielded to His will. God is looking for people who will submit. God is looking for people who will always focus on the big picture. Husband and wives, let it become your lifestyle, that you are willing to stoop for one another. The way up when it comes to the kingdom is the way down. You don’t go up by going up, you start from below. Jesus first went down before He went up. Submit yourself to God then resist the devil and He will flee from you.
