March 22, 2019 The Daily Fountain Of Anglican Church Devotional : TOPIC - PATTERNED LIKE CHRIST

- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN
DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE
CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2019 

TOPIC - PATTERNED LIKE CHRIST

READ: EPHESIANS 5:21-23
21. submitting to one another in the fear of God.
22. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.


THE MESSAGE:
We live in a generation where the family has been threatened by divorce, wrong philosophies, separation, etc. In spite of this, the word of God is clear and unchanging about expected patterns of behaviour to achieve Christian unity in the home.

These regulations are not based on circumstances, but should be adhered to out of reverence for Christ (verse 21). It is out of this reverence, that husbands and wives should be subject to each other in spite of their cultures (verse 21).Wives are enjoined to submit and adapt to their husbands as the appointed head of the family, irrespective of their status, education, experience, etc.

Husbands are to love their wives in two ways: as Christ loved the Church (verse 25) and as their own bodies (verse 28). Note that no wife is a perfect package but is given to the husband (likened to the Church and Christ) to sanctify by words and deeds to make her glorious to Himself (verses 26-28)
Finally, absolute unity is required (verse 31) signifying detachment from every culture, family ties, peer pressure and environmental influences that negate biblical principles of relationship for marriage. It is our work as believers to return to this pattern to restore the lost glory of the family in our generation.


PRAYER: Lord please help me to adhere to biblical roles stipulated for my position in the family, in Jesus' name.
