Philipians 2
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
Paul teaches us in chapter two about the power of submission. We have been told a lie that submission makes you inferior to the one you are submitting to and that submission makes you weak. The result, we always seems to want to prove a point that we are better than others. In the society, we have to prove that we are not small. Husbands and wives that should be working together, submitting to one another for the progress of their home start competing to prove who is the head. We have been told that submission puts you under. On the contrary, Christ shows us by his example of humbling himself to the point of dying a criminals death in obedience to his Father and for the sake of those he loved, that submission does not make you weak. Instead, he was given a name that is above every other name so that everything and everyone must or will bow to him. Paul says; "you must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had." Philippians 1:5. Submission does not make you inferior. Submission ultimately like Christ puts you in control. Let's not be afraid of being humble submitting to one another in the fear of God.
