We read in Ephesians 5: 21-33 “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. :24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, :26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, :27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. :28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. :29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”] :32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. :33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
The Lord spoke to me about respect. There is no respect left in this world. There is no respect for God, there is no respect in the house, there is just no respect left, because people have disregarded God and they have disregarded His Word. There is no respect amongst Christians for God. If Christians would respect God, if they would obey Him then the world would also have respect for God and they would also obey God. God said to Moses in Exodus 3:5 “Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” There is very little respect for God seen and demonstrated nowadays not even in churches. Preachers talk to God or about God as though He is their servant or just their friend. God is holy and He will be respected.
The Lord spoke to me about women. They are rebellious towards God. They are not modest anymore, very few women are modest, they have become vulgar. They are not mothers anymore; they are not the queens of the house anymore. They are not clothed with the glory of God anymore. They are not nurturers, they have become competitors with men, they have moved out of their place and they have taken on the position that God reserved for men. Even in jobs they are competing with men for positions. They become soldiers, they are not housekeepers anymore, they are not nurses anymore, they don’t nurture the house anymore. As a result of this some women have become “successful”. “Successful” women have become lustful concubines. Because in the workplace they have pushed out the man and they don’t find any men that will stay with them, they don’t respect men, they don’t respect God. They dress like harlots they are cheap, they are making themselves cheap and they become cheap. Their children are confused and this has lead to the destruction of the house and the home. The home has fallen apart.
Children don’t respect women anymore that’s why boys are assaulting women, why men are assaulting women there is no respect for a mother anymore. There is no father figure in the house anymore, many homes are without a father.
The women don’t teach their children to respect their fathers, they don’t teach them to respect God. If you don’t respect God and you don’t do what God tells you to do then the Spirit of God leaves you, leaves you on your own. And then things go wrong and you start crying out because of your disobedience, but you followed your own mind and reaped the results.
The mothers are worshippers of money, they want to compete, they want to make their own money. They have been stripped of their honor by God because of their rebellion. They have just become cheap objects of lust. They sell themselves for nothing, men just observe them for objects of lust.
God said to me,, women must return to God. The Lord gave me a prophecy for women, a Word. He says: Those women who obey Me I shall bless. Those who clothe themselves with modesty and who honor Me, respect My Word, do not rebel against Me.
He gave me a Word for fathers: The Fathers who honor Me – Those I will honor. I will exalt them. He who bows down before Me, I will exalt Him. Put Me first and I will restore you. Moses was the meekest man on the face of the earth. I exalted him, his authority was from Me. If you exalt Me, I will make you the priest of your House. Obey Me, follow Me – don’t follow your own mind – trust in Me and you will be established. I exalt and I bring low. Those who honor Me, I will favor them. I want to restore the house, the family – the sanctuary of the house. Build for yourselves a house altar where I am on the throne and I will restore you. Honor Me, I honor you. Get your house together on a Sunday and serve Me. I will honor you. Show them the way it must be done.
Fathers, God says you are the priest of your house you should show your family the way that it should be done. You are ordained by God to be the head of the house, the priest of your household. We must walk ahead, we must show our children the way. We are ordained by God in that position if we negate that, God will not bless us.
Mothers if we rebelled against God we pray in vain. It’s in vain that we say that we are Christians, that we believe in Jesus. If we believe in Jesus we will obey Jesus. Submission is the toughest thing that there is for anybody. for me too, it is hard to submit. Women say: My husband is not worthy of my submission. It’s not about being worthy, it’s about being obedient to God. If you are obedient to God and your husband mistreats you, God will deal with him.
Husbands we are not to rule over our house, home like tyrants. The Lord Jesus doesn’t rule over us. Moses didn’t rule over Israel, he was a meek man. When Dathan and Abiram rebelled against him the earth sucked them in. God took then away. (Numbers 16)
If you, husband, father of the house, if you subject yourself to God, God will establish you, He will establish me. If we listen to God if we obey Him, He will certainly establish us. If we reject Him, we pray in vain. If we as fathers do not do our duty like God says, we serve Him in vain, He will not establish us. He won’t listen to our prayers. Jesus requires absolute obedience; this is not about a rulebook this is about obedience to God. If we want to go into heaven, if we want to be part of God’s kingdom, Jesus must become King. We must take seriously what is written in the Bible. It is not about what we think, it is not about our own mind, it is about obedience to Jesus Christ. He will not make an exception for anybody. What is written is written for everybody. It is not the twentieth or the twenty first century and now things have changed. God didn’t change, we changed and that is why everything around us is falling into pieces we are not honoring God. Let’s make God the King of our house, the King of our country and then He will honor us. We will live in peace, God will bless us. But if we keep on rejecting Him, if we keep on doing what we think, He will reject us, He will turn His back on us and things will go the way they go now. Let us repent, let us seek God, let us seek Jesus Christ, let us obey Him. He says in Isaiah 55 Listen and your soul will live so if we want life if we want Christ in our lives we must obey Him.
