The Spirit Filled Wife Part 2 | Lord’s Day Sermon | 20th October, 2024 | Pastor Adeola Ogundele

What does it mean when we read in Ephesians 5:23 that the husband is the head of the wife? The apostle, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was expressing God's design as he had intended when he created the man and woman. God set an order for the relationship between all of God's creation, including in the dispensation of leadership between the man and the woman. And this design is good. 

When God commands the husband to be the head of his home, He's done it because he knows it is the best. He's done it because he desires marriages amongst his children to be a reflection of Christ's love for them. There is no deprivation or bias. Understanding God's intent and embracing His wisdom in how he has designed this relationship to be is the way to find true fulfillment that guarantees the enjoyment of our marriages.

The abuse of this relationship, caused by sin, has not altered God's intent or diminished the beauty of his plan.

As we listen, we will learn what true biblical submission is and how this brings God's rich blessing to our homes and by extension, points many to the love that Christ has for his children.
