The Power of Submission | In 5 Minutes

Most of us at some point or another have spent time around a boss or a teacher who operates more like a drill sergeant. The experience can be infuriating, and often the people working underneath a boss like this can tend to tune out and ignore. The thing is, while not all authority figures operate like an angry drill instructor! The thought of submitting to authority can sometimes feel like a complete loss of independence and control—giving up of our power. But what if I told you that you could only have as much power and authority as you were willing to submit to?

Submission: the act of accepting or yielding to a higher authority or the will of another person.

Power: the ability to do work

Romans 13: 1-2 - Every person must submit to and support the authorities over him. For there can be no authority in the universe except by God’s appointment, which means that every authority that exists has been instituted by God. So to resist authority is to resist the divine order of God, which results in severe consequences.

Submission Authorities:
a. GOD
b. SPOUSE
c. GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES
d. WORK AUTHORITIES
e. SPIRITUAL AUTHORITIES
