The Importance of Submission
Allowing God to have complete control without interference is another principal reason why total submission is important. Many of us often times try to help God out. We go around Him thinking that we know what is best in the situation, and in the end, we always make matters worse. The Lord is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent; He has infinite power, infinite knowledge, and a universal presence that is abound and in operation 24/7. How anyone could ever believe, that in their finite thinking, no matter how many degrees they have earned, are more knowledgeable than God? Colossians 2:9-10 states, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” God doesn’t need our help to figure anything out for Him; He is the head. The only thing God needs from us is our complete submission and obedience to Him. We serve as an extension of Him; the body of Christ. We are His arms and legs here on earth designed to move on His behalf and in His authority.
