HAVE YOU SUBMITTED?
“So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7 (Amplified Bible)
The word ‘submission’ has been a “No…No” word for most people today.
There are some people who grew up in homes where love wasn’t expressed. They saw their frustrated parents as tyrants. Some were forced to submit to strict, ungodly rules and authorities in their schools or workplaces.
Others became victims of bullies who forced them to do things against their own will.
The wicked structure of the world has given people the wrong impression about submission. They think submission is preached in Church, just to control people and force them to do things against their will.
They have equated submission to fear and oppression. The adversary has succeeded in making people feel God has no good plans for them. Thus, submitting to God is never going to bring them to an expected glorious end.
This has always been the strategy of the enemy. These were the same seeds he sowed in the hearts of Adam, and generated unbelief.
God has a beautiful plan for your life. And submitting to God is submitting to a loving father.
If you can submit yourself to a pilot in a plane, then you should submit to God who made the universe.
Submission to God is bringing yourself under His influence and authority. It is yielding to His will for your life.
Someone will say, “I said it, he wants me to submit to God against my will. Apostle is writing this to tell me to put my will aside and accept the will of God”.
Interesting, what is your will?
Your will wasn’t conditioned to function without God. A man’s will is cultivated by his environment.
Which means your will is always submitted to something. And here, I am helping you find a better expression of your will.
Until you submit your will to the Lord, you cannot live according to God’s original, glorious design for you.
Submission to God is a sign of a mature life in Christ.
A man who is submissive to God walks in the obedience of God’s word. The word of God becomes the light and arrangement of his thoughts and actions.
A man who is submitted to God cannot be controlled by the flesh and the world. Such a person exercises authority over the devil.
So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. James 4:7.
To submit to God is the enjoyment of grace, direction and divine elevation.
Shalom!

Alleluia…. I am a man under the authority of Christ
God has a beautiful plan for my life!!!
The word of God directs my life!!
I submit myself to the authority of the Lord and enjoy the leadings of the Lord!!
Thank You, Lord Jesus for Machaira with Apostle Bennie.
Glory to God!
I willingly submit my will to God, trusting His love, guidance, and perfect plan for my life.
I submit my will, emotions, thoughts and body to the Lord.
I submit myself to the authority of God,my will is conditioned to function with God. I submit to God’s will
I submit my will, mind, emotions, thoughts and body to the lord
Thank you Lord Jesus for Machaira with Apostle Bennie
I submit fully to God
I summit my will, emotions and thoughts to the Lord
Submission to God is bringing yourself under His influence and authority. It is yielding to His will for your life.
I yield to the will of God for my life.
Submission to God is a sign of a mature life in Christ.
Wow!
I submit to God.
As I submit to God I exercise authority over the devil
In the name of Jesus!!
I submit my will, heart , emoticon and mind to God!
I am not controlled by the world!
A man’s will is cultivated by his environment wow
So no matter the matter you have submitted to something knowingly or unknowingly you have bowed to something in your life.
If you live in an environment where money is more respected than the things of God your will chases money and nothing else
So it is even invalid to say you don’t believe in anything because to say you don’t believe in God so you wouldn’t submit is automatically doing the enemies will and plan for your life because he has succeeded in drawing you away from God and it’s end is destroying of lives
So this is a better. Opportunity to give your self a better offer to submit to where peace is found where love is fully expressed in understanding
If you don’t want this then I don’t know what you want anymore
Then I will assume you love the misery you go through without God.
What a powerful virtue for elevation
Thank you Lord Jesus
The idea of submission to God is actually a great step towards maturity. The world preaches independence from God, but no man is truly independent. Meaning, they preach independence from God to submit to the will of men (who seek supremacy) or to the devil or to the system.
All these lead men away from their original design. God did not make man as a zombie; He give Him a will so that He will willingly submit to His will.
But as many that believed in Him, He gave the right to become their true selves.
God’s plan for man is to give Him a future and a hope, a beautiful one at that! The adversary’s strategy is to resist man and deceive Him into believing otherwise and thinking He can achieve it all by Himself.
But thanks be to God, we will submit to God, resist the devil and He will surely flee from us.
Thank You Jesus
My will is influenced by the word, and the right environment, that is the Church.
I submit to the will of God
The will of God concerning my life prevails
Thank you Lord for Machaira with Apostle Bennie
