Wisdom For The Day Devotional 18 December 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Position Yourself Where God Has Put You
TOPIC: Position Yourself Where God Has Put You (TREM Devotional 18 December 2023)
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus”. Galatians 3:28 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
As believers, we are all sons because we are all one in Christ Jesus. No male, no female! For those who want women to submit or stay voiceless, today’s passage reminds us that there is neither male nor female. Brother Mike, are you saying that women should disobey their husbands? No! I am saying that everyone should take their place. Everything grows from where it is taken out of. The fish feeds on the water! Plants that are made from the ground, feed from the ground.
A woman was taken out of the ribs of a man; hence a woman is supposed to feed from the mouth of the man. Now, if a woman is supposed to feed from the man’s mouth, where is the man supposed to feed from? A man ought to feed from the mouth of God. If you as the man, you are feeding from the mouth of the devil, you are going to feed your wife with what the devil is producing. And so, if she delivers to you what the devil gave to you, why then are you fighting her?
As a man, is the word of God the final authority in your life? Until the word becomes the final authority in your life, don’t expect your wife to function the way you want her to function. These are the things that bring friction in homes. You can’t take a car shaft and put it where the tire should be. Neither will you take the petrol tank and put it on top of the bonnet. If you do, it will explode with fire when it becomes hot.
Position yourself where God has put you. Drink from the mouth of God daily so that whatever comes out of your mouth will be a blessing to someone. The Bible says that you should let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for edifying; that you might minister grace to the hearers.
