No woman wants to be in submission to a man who isn’t in submission to God!
-- T D Jakes
About the Quote
Women have the same natural rights as men, and in recent decades they have taken their place alongside men in many fields of endeavor. They won't let themselves be led around by just anyone, especially by men of low quality.
If a woman is going to use her free will to choose to let man lead her, that man needs to have it all together. He needs to be disciplined. He needs to be in control of his faculties and body. He needs to know what is right and what is wrong. He needs to be brave in the face of fear. He also needs to demonstrate leadership in times when it's easy to follow the herd.
Like a woman, a man is going to use his free will to choose follow someone who has it all together. Who has it more all together than God? This man knows his place among his fellow men, and he doesn't take a backseat to anyone. Only for God will this man get on his knees as an act of submission.
