PHANEROO~DEVOTION 22nd March 2016 LESSONS IN VIRTUE III Apostle Grace Lubega

[Ephesians 5:22,25]; Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.

God has called the wife to submit and the husband to love. A wife can easily submit to a man that loves her and any husband can easily love a woman who submits to him. It is that simple. The only question here is, who does it first? That is where maturity applies. As a wife, you dont need to first be loved enough for you to submit, likewise as a husband should not wait for her full submission to love her, simply do your part.

If you are waiting for the other to first do their part, then you will fall to the error of fighting battles you ought not to fight.
If anything makes the woman a helper, it is the fact that she has learnt to lose battles and win wars. Your spouse might be unreasonable sometimes, but you just have to let God deal with him instead of going out of your way to act cocky because you must prove a point.

Your part is the war, you just have to know what the real war is, the big picture. Understand that this is not just your partner involved. You ought to look at your children and your children’s children and what you must establish for your generation. If the children grow up in a house where they see you fighting, they might pick it up. That is a bigger picture. This is not our story saints, atleast it ought not to be!!!

Excerpt from the sermon: LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER by Apostle Grace Lubega

If anything makes the woman a helper, it is the fact that she has learnt to lose battles and win wars.
