TOPIC: INGREDIENT FOR UNITY
Memory verse: Ps. 133:1
“1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Bible Reading: Eph. 5:21
“21 Submitting to one another in the fear of God.”
SUBMISSION INCREASES UNITY
Submission is one of the virtue that increases unity. Any relationship that lacks submission, either marriage, business, ministry or friendship can’t be sustain. Talking about submission, we always believe only the subordinate are to submit to the superiors, but it’s goes beyond that. Jesus speaking said,
“25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Math. 20:25-28.
Being a leader, superiors or the boss doesn’t stop you from submission. You are called to serve and not to be served. You’re to be submissive to those who elected you, this was what Jesus was saying.
What is Submission? “It’s an act to yield or give way to another.” It’s not just from the lower to the upper hierarchy, but lower to the upper and upper to the lower hierarchy.
How submissive are you? Your position, wealth, age, power and anointing shouldn’t replace submission In your life. That’s why they keep complaining about you In that team, that marriage, in that group and that department. You only like to lord it over everyone, no submissiveness, so, unity can’t be achieve in that area of yours. I want us to search ourselves out today, am I the hindrance to the unity of my church, work place, business or marriage? Be submissive and you will walk in unity.
Have a great day ahead.
