Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 28, Day 2: Monday, 10th July 2023. Topic: YIELDING TO GOD 2: Yielding In Marriage?

“21. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

23. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”

Yielding to God goes beyond what we do in the church. It span through every facet of our lives. As couples, we’re not to be an angel in the house of God and a lion in our marriages. The way you live in your marriage – secretly and openly – clearly defines who you are yielding to. 

There are principles meant to guide marriages yielded to God. Apostle Paul, speaking to the Ephesians says, “Couples Should Submit To One Another”. This is the first principle of marriage. Couple should honour and submit to one another, it shouldn’t be one sided. A home that’s control by God is not authoritatively built, it’s jointly built on the principles of God. Apostle Paul said, “Wife, submit to your husband… And Husband love their wife” without any condition attached. You’re not to submit to your husband because of wealth or perfection. You’re not to love your wife because she’s better than other women outside there, you’re to love and submit to one another unconditionally. 

This is one of the prove of yielding to God. Not because there are no weaknesses but knowing how to handle it and forge ahead. 

Is your home yielding to God or the devil? Can you be proud to give a full details of the happenings in your home as a testimony? Yielding your home to God is the responsibility of both in the marriage.

Good Day and God Bless you.
