Submission goes both ways, Daddy Freeze writes Bishop Oyedepo
Daddy freeze in an open letter addressed to Bishop Oyedepo, emphasized that submission goes both ways and not for the woman alone.
This is coming after Bishop Oyedepo opined that the only way a marriage can be fruitful is by total submission on the part of his wife.
Daddy Freeze said that both the husband and wife are meant to submit to one another.
He advised that scriptures should be quoted in context without leaving out the instruction given to men.
Men are to love their wives as Christ loved the church and be ready to die for her.
He added that a man must first love his wife as himself before they receive respect.
See his open letter to Bishop Oyedepo ;
”Dear Bishop Oyedepo, submission goes both ways.
It’s not reserved for women alone, rather both the husband and wife MUST submit to one another.
Ephesians 5:21
New International Version
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Now, let us always endeavor to quote scripture in context.
We shouldn’t leave out the instruction given to the men, who must also be prepared to DIE for their wives like Christ died for the church, or is this because we live in a patriarchal and misogynistic society that we adopt one and leave out the other?
Ephesians 5:25
New Living Translation
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.
Furthermore, men are instructed to love their wives as they love themselves, before they receive respect.
If a man cheats on his wife, beats her or doesn’t take care of her financially, how can he disillusion himself into believing that he’d get submission and respect from her?
Ephesians 5:33
New Living Translation
So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
