Episode 1343 - Jarvis Kingston Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife ❤️

Jarvis Kingston

Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Ephesians 5:22-23
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”
EPHESIANS 5:22-23
DEVOTION
Based on Ephesians 5
This passage reflects God’s design for order and love within marriage. Submission here is not about control, but about trust and respect, mirroring the church’s relationship with Christ.
It’s a calling to mutual sacrifice—wives are called to honor, and husbands to lead in love. Both roles are anchored in humility and service. When lived out with God at the center, this design becomes a beautiful reflection of unity, grace, and spiritual partnership. God’s order isn’t restrictive—it’s protective, and it brings harmony and strength to the marriage bond.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Lord, You are the head of the Church and the model of sacrificial leadership and loving submission. I honor Your perfect design.
CONFESSION: Forgive me for misunderstanding or resisting Your order. Whether through fear or pride, I’ve missed the heart of mutual service in relationships
THANKSGIVING: Thank You for creating roles within marriage that reflect Your love and leadership. Thank You for showing us how to walk in humility and grace.
SUPPLICATION: Father, help me trust Your wisdom in relationships. Teach me to honor, respect, and serve in ways that build unity. Strengthen marriages to reflect Your love, where both husband and wife walk in love, humility, and purpose.
PRAYER
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”
EPHESIANS 5:22-23
Dear Lord Jesus, You modeled perfect submission on the cross. You gave Yourself over to the will of the Father, and accomplished great things as a result. Teach us to submit to You first and foremost, as Your church, that we may share in Your victory. We also pray for those godly marriages seeking to reflect Your character. Grant everyone mutual submission, respect, and honor for each other as onto You. Empower wives to prop up their husbands, even when they don’t seem worthy of it at the time. Guide husbands to love and nurture their wives, even when they’d prefer to be harsh or neglecting. In all things, have Your way among us! Humble and guide us, Lord Jesus. In Your name, we pray, Amen. 🙏🏾
