MOMENT OF DAILY ENCOUNTER (MODE)
DATE: 18TH JUNE, 2026
TOPIC : THE CO-PILOT OF THE FAMILY LIFE
⚓Scripture: Ephesians 5: 22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Beloved, I welcome you to another Moment of Daily Encounter! Previously, we established that the family life can be liken to an aircraft that has pilots. The pilot in this case is the husband being the Head of the family, while the wife is the co-pilot. As matter of fact, we must understand that commandments/instructions are keys to high flyers! That is why you don't fly an aircraft by guessing, it has to be by instruction. Similarly, if we are to fly the aircraft of a successful family life to safe landing we must take heed to Divine instruction from the manufacturer of marriage institutions. This Divine instruction is directed to each of the pilots. Previously, we looked at instruction directed at the pilot-1 being husband. Today, we shall be looking at divine instruction to the co- pilot of family life being the wife.
From our anchor scripture,
*Ephesians 5: 22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord* .
We can make three observations from the above scripture:
A.Observe God's command is clearly directed to WIVES! "Wives submit yourselves." So if you are not a wife, you will not be able to submit. Permit me to ask this question: Are you a wife ? If yes! God's command to you is SUBMISSION.
Submission is a word many wives don't want to hear because of our fallen nature. The flesh we inherited from Adam as a result of our fallen human nature will resist any command to submit. However, the transformed minds that have deaden the flesh can obey this instruction without hesitation. And the instruction is to submit! It didn't say submit to a nice and loving husband rather submit to your husband wether nice or not. So your submission is unconditional!
B. Observed the clause "your own husbands"! So if the man in question is your own husband then your submission is compulsory. This implies that husband submission is not submission to every man on the street. The submission the Bible speaks of is to your own husband meaning if a man marries you legally, your submission to him is a must. Now, to all the singles ladies out there, please note if you are not ready to submit to that guy hanging around you now in the name of marriage please don't marry him. Don't marry a man you can not submit to, whether he is tall or short, educated like you or not? As long as you say yes to him get ready to submit to his authority.
C. Observed again that the limit of your submission as a wife is "as unto the Lord"! Invariably there is no wife that can easily submit to her husband if she hasn't submit to the Lord.
Beloved wife, if you can submit wholeheartedly to the Lord then submission to your husband is easy! But if you are still struggling to submit to God it will be difficult to submit to your husband! I will therefore counsel you that you go ahead and submit to God all your aspirations, your will, your vision, your passion, your education, your beauty, your money, your pursuit and your entire life and watch God empowering you to submit to your husband cheaply.
*Why should you submit to your husband?*
I. It is in obedient to God’s instruction (Eph.5:22)
II. It helps you to silent the gate of hell that attack family life.(Gen.3:1-6)
III. Your submission is a weapon to slap the devil(2Cor.10:6).
IV. It is the only satisfactory condition to fulfill your destiny maritally(Prov. 31:11)
Beloved wife, you are created with the dimensions of God which is a helper and a builder! And that can only be possible in an atmosphere of submission. The devil knows your worth! The devil is afraid of the enmous energy with strategy wired into you by God that enables you to help and build any man in your life. Hence, the devil will make you disloyal your head and tag you a rebel in the realm of the spirit. Therefore, reject every heart of insurbodination to your husband, and you will cheaply win his love. May I submit this to you, there is no man who enjoys his wife submission that does not love his wife. The wife automatically win the love of her husband via submission because submission is like a magnetic force that magnetised love. No matter how tough your husband may be, you can win his heart and his love cheaply by submitting to him. Try it today and you will thank me later.
*What is submission?*
According to Merriam Webster dictionary: submission is the state of being obedient : the act of accepting the authority or control of someone
Therefore husband submission is the willingness of a wife to accept her husband authority. It is being loyal to your own husband. Readiness to obey husband's instruction gladly even when it hurt or your opinion is shelf aside. This has made many wives a rebel in the realm of the spirit because they are acting in blatant disobedience to the scripture. If you must excel, then choose to obey the word of God.
*Remember this*: Heaven is real and hell is real. Jesus is coming soon, get ready for the Lord.
*Prayer points* :
~ Father thank you for your word to me today.
~ Lord help me to be a submissive wife, help me to be loyal to my husband so that I can fulfill your purpose in my family life in Jesus name.
*Prophetic Declaration;*
~ I prophesy the baptism of submission, receive it now in the name of Jesus.
~ To every single trusting God to be married, may God cause you to meet with your spouse this season in Jesus name.
*Assignment:* Do a soul searching of the level of your submission to your husband and see how to improve on it today.
