DO NOT BE EASILY DECEIVED

GO BACK TO THE COVERING
January 19, 2020[James 4:4]
Many people come and tell me they have issues, but I always tell them that they must resist the devil and he will flee. It does not start in resisting but it all starts in submitting, yet again they can’t submit without humbleness. This verse is speaking of sinners and it is giving them solutions on how to overcome sin. Submission needs humbleness because it needs you to be nothing at all for you to be submissive. The proud think of themselves hence they can’t submit, but you need to be a nobody for you to be able to submit. Pride makes people not to repent but humbleness calls for submission.
When there is pride, It’s easy to ask for forgiveness from God than from your leader, because God is unseen and the leader is seen. Pride even causes many marriages to fall because the other partner esteems himself or herself higher than the other. People fight because it’s hard for them to admit when they are wrong. You need to be humble to be able to submit. When you submit you become absent because it takes humbleness. Many people who can’t submit they get tempted and fall easily.
You ought to show God you love Him by fully submitting to the people He has entrusted upon your life. Submit fully to them as if you are submitting to God Himself. Submission is a key to conquering sin, it helps us to conquer sin. Fellowship of a Christian is submission. It takes a fool to submit but the wise fail to submit. God takes us through a mode of being children while we are adults, we don’t just do what other people our age do because we consult with God and seek His approval before we act. You need to know the importance of submission because it’s in little things where you get an attack and after that, you are quick to run back to God, while you didn’t consult Him at first.
The biggest problem of people is being independent, some even want to be independent even in marriage. You need to train yourself to submit while you are still single so that you may be able to enjoy your marriage. We must be independent but not take advantage of our independence.
[1John4: 20]
How can you love God whom you don’t see but fail to love your brother whom you see? As much as God expects you to love your brother, its the same way He expects you to submit to your leaders whom He has entrusted them with you.
Submission is handing yourself over, you allow your life to be in someone’s hand. The way you submit to God is the way you must do to your leaders. There are somethings in your life that have been avoided by serving. The things you do in submission kept you through serving.
Last time I was standing and speaking during the marriage seminar about how submission saved my life. Sometimes your spiritual father will deny you what your physical parents would give you, but it’s your responsibility to know what is right and be submissive. Your spiritual father is for your soul and your biological for the flesh. Learn to submit even in difficult situations, because it’s worth it.
God is the one who knows where you must be after 10 years and because of that, you must know that it is important for you to submit. Submitting to a spiritual leader is not submitting to a man, but submitting to a spiritual leader who does not know God is submitting to another man. If you see that God is not known do not stay. Some men of God still follow their feelings yet they are spiritual leaders. How can he lead you in truth if he still gets angry and emotional?
[Jeremiah 3: 2]
Submission is not a study group its an individual matter. If there is no fear of God in a person, know that there is no submission you should stay away from such people.
I was once a fan of some soccer team but it took God to stop me from being on sides because of how He wanted to use me. God had to detach me from the feeling and the love that I had for it. I later realized that it was bigger than what I thought it was because it helped me conquer favoritism and emotions. I had to know that I am not of any party but of God. When you know what is expected of you then you can be trusted with many lives because you won’t be emotionally immature concerning their lives but instead, you will be a shepherd according to God’s heart.
A leader needs to be on no side of any party. Runaway from a man of God who has a friend because his judgment will never be spiritual but instead it will be influenced by them. Runaway from even those who are afraid to rebuke the congregants because they might lose them. Runaway from a pastor who cries over a congregant that has left.
[1Peter 2:25]
God is raising men of God to be shepherds just like Jesus was. A man of God must take care of your soul before your flesh. We are leaders because we must take care of your soul. When you have found the one who will govern your soul make sure that you stick to them. I always say we are having marriage seminars to avoid marriage counseling.
Being a Christian, everything in your life must be governed by the Spirit. Demons don’t just come in you but they come in through the open doors that you open unaware. A door can be opened by a very small thing and the devil is so patient that even when that door is open, he can come in and not react at that time but later in your life.
Submission makes you avoid many things, many things are hindered by serving in most lives. Just wake up one time and go to a pub and you will see how submission and serving is important because most of the people who live there, didn’t go there because they loved to but because they had nothing to do with their lives. Safeguard your souls. When you are not submitting to God, you are opening a door for the devil to come in your life. By going to church and serving and being in prayer, you are shutting the door that the devil might come in through.
The bible tells us that if your eyes cause you to sin cut it, but the eyes only see. It is the mind that goes further by meditating on sin yet you cant cut off the mind. Deal with the mind because it is responsible for all things that may cause you to fall. You being busy with the things of the Lord is what saves you.
[James 4:2 ]
A man who can’t hear God won’t hear his spirit crying in the pit of sin. You might say that you are enjoying but your spirit is crying. Submit yourself to God and resist the devil, it all starts in submission. When you submit the devil is far from you. Submission is when a couple is sleeping and the husband wakes the wife up to be intimate and she wakes up and pleases her husband. It is when you are sleeping and God comes and say, read this scripture and you wake up and do it at that time. Submission is not when you do because you love, but it is going against all that you want just so you can save your soul.
You hear the Spirit by remembering that there is prayer. The HolySpirit is speaking in your mind, do not ignore what He says but at all times listen and meditate on the Godly thoughts you receive always.
