Dec. 4, 2012 It is Always Good to Submit

 Genesis 16:9

Then the angel of the  Lord  told her,

 “Go back to your mistress 

and submit to her.”  

MESSAGE

God just rebuked me today and asking why I am having hard time or struggle to submit to His authority?  He is saying to me how could I say that I am submitting to Him if I am having hard time to submit to His appointed leaders.  He is reassuring me also that He has a perfect plan for everything and it will come to pass before my very eyes if I will learn how to submit to His appointed leaders.

PROMISE

10 The angel added, 

“I will so increase your descendants 

that they will be too numerous to count.” 

COMMAND

9 "...and submit to her.”

WARNING

APPLICATION

1. Starting today, I will start praying to God to heal me, the pain, hurt and negative that I saw from my leaders.  I will start thinking that those were just their weakness just like me who have  also many flaws that needs to be corrected and changed.
2. Starting today, I will not look on people, especially to my leaders.  I will submit to my leaders' authority.  I will always reminds myself that it is my responsibility not only to them as God's appointed but most especially to God who called and chose me to be under my leaders' authority.
3. Starting today, I will guard my thought and heart not to say any negative statement against them.  Instead, I will pray for myself to continue to submit to their authority as I also pray for them as my leaders.
