A Married Xtian Woman's Submission To Her Husband 1 by xtianwoman: 11:22pm On Feb 23, 2017
For the Xtian Woman, the idea of submission cannot be over-emphasised and as such she needs to bear in mind that:
i. Submission is really what God wants and also,
ii. She has the opportunity and responsibility to be selective in carrying out such an assignment according to God's will.
The kind of submission God expects of a Xtian Woman who is married can be found in Ephesians 5:22-25. From God's point of view, a Xtian Woman is to follow the lead of her husband just as her husband follows Christ and is responsible to love her as Christ loved the Church.
Apostle Peter also said in 1 Peter 3:1-2 that submission is right even if the husband is not being the kind of godly, loving & sacrificing person he should be. Submission is in Obedience to God.
However, God does not ask all women to submit to all men at all times.
The account of Acts 5:1-11 shows us an example of a wife who foolishly went along with her husband's sin and lost her life in the process. Sapphira was aware of her husband's attempt to mislead the church and yet, she conspired with him to lie to the church about the amount of the contribution. The result was that God struck both of them dead. It is clear here that Sapphira shouldnt have gone along with her husband's wish.
In conclusion, a Xtian Woman who is married has the obligation to follow the lead of her husband but she is free to do otherwise only when her husband asks her to do something that is in direct conflict with the will of God. However, she needs discretion and counselling as God gives her wisdom when there is need to go against such leadings contrary to Gods will.

I pray that God will give you with the Grace to exhibit submission in accordance to God'will. For wives with unbelieving husbands I pray God to strengthen your faith and grant you wisdom to win him to the Lord. Amen.

Submission is commanded by God to all God ordained authority including husbands, fathers, pastors, governments, teachers e.t.c.
A Xtian must ne submissive but only in God's Will for 'we ought to obey God rather than men'

The Bible tells us women is created from Man to serve us. We are first and foremost. They should fear us as we fear the Lord. It is well.

Pls Brother,
Women were not created to serve men for 'male and female created he them, to have dominion over the works of His hands'....We are all His creatures to serve His purpose..We were all created to serve God!
Neither are women to fear men, what is commanded is submission for 'perfect love casts out fear'

May God bless us All!
