Husbands & Wives

Wives subject to your own husbands

True believing wives will understand what Heavenly Father's word says about wives submitting to their husbands (non-married woman submitting to their earthly fathers).

Of cause the devil tells woman that this is wrong and is slavery.

Remember these instructions are only for true believers (man and woman) who are in covenant with Father's will and commandments; these do not include people outside the covenant of the Messiah (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). Ephesians 5:20-21, subjecting yourselves to each other in the fear of Elohim (Almighty).

What fear is this for our Elohim. Exodus 20:20, tells us; Moses said to the people, "Do not fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do not sin."

This means that we must only fear Elohim so that we do not sin. We must fear of not obeying Him and not keeping His commands.

Keep in mind, these instructions are only for the true believers, not the low warm believers that believe the commands are no longer applicable today.

If you are one of those people that believe the instructions are not applicable, then you will also not accept that wives must submit to their own husbands.

Again low warm believing husbands may misuse these instructions to make them the boss over the wife, or make his wife a slave, or misuse her to benefit him, but a true believing husband that knows Heavenly Father's word will treat his wife with respect and love her as our Messiah loves us.

Ephesians 5:22-24 & Colossians 3:18, Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Messiah. Because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Messiah is head of the assembly, and He is Saviour of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so the wives is to their own husbands in every respect.

Firstly, wives are to submit to their own husbands, not other wives husband or other men but only to their own husbands.

Secondly, the assembly submits to Messiah, this assembly is all believers that are reborn and have the Spirit of Messiah in them (our body is the dwelling place of Messiah).

 1 Peter 3:5-6, in former times (as before), the set apart women who trusted in Elohim also adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him master.

1 Corinthians 11:3, the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is Elohim.

Ephesians 1:22, says that Messiah put all under His feet, and He is head over all, which is the assembly, also read Ephesians 4:15.

Genesis 3:16, A woman's desire is for her husband and he does rule over her (Heavenly Father's instruction).

1 Corinthians 3:23 & John 14:28, Messiah said that Father Yahuah is greater than Him and He belongs to Elohim.

The husband is not the boss or the slave driver over his wife but the leader of the house/family, the protector, the spiritual leader, the provider of spiritual covering and guidance. Woman/Wives, if you truly love and obey Elohim, then you would accept this instruction.

Only rebellious wives with the Jezebel spirit will not accept Elohim's will/desire.

Husbands love your wives

Husbands, love your wives, as Messiah also did love the assembly and gave Himself for it, in order to set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having spot or wrinkle, but that it might be set-apart and blameless - Ephesians 5:25-27.

Husbands, listen carefully to the words in above verses; Husbands must give careful attention to their wives, so that they became set apart by His Word (teaching of the Messiah), and they are presented to Messiah with His knowledge and truth, therefore they become set-apart and blameless.

The above is confirmed in verse 28, in this way husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies.

Husband who loves his wife loves himself. 

Verse 31 & Genesis 2:24, "a man shall leave his parents and be joined to his wife, and the two become one flesh."

 Colossians 3:19, husbands must not be bitter towards their wives but to love them.

Husbands, live understandingly together, giving respect to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and being heirs together of the favor of life, so that your prayers are not hindered - 1 Peter 3:7 (a believing husband wants his prayers to be heard). 

1 Timothy 3:2-5, the husband of one wife, sober, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, no lover of money, one who rules his own house well.

If a man does not know how to rule his own house, how can he look after the assembly of Elohim.

Genesis 2:18, Yahuah Elohim said, "It is not good for the man to be alone, I am going to make a helper for him, as his counterpart.

 

That counterpart is his help-meet, his wife.

Only wicked husbands will not abide by Yahuah’s command.

Praise Yah for the marriage.
