On Eagle’s Wings – Radical Discipleship (Volume 2)
Submission and authority are not merely doctrines to be understood—they are spiritual realities to be lived. This module is designed to bring the disciple into alignment with God’s divine order, resulting in spiritual covering, maturity, and entrusted authority.
By the end of this module, the disciple should be able to:
Understand God’s divine structure of authority.
Embrace submission as a spiritual principle, not a human imposition.
Recognize the connection between submission and authority.
Identify and overcome rebellious tendencies.
Walk in Christ-like authority through humility and obedience.
God’s Kingdom operates through order. Authority is not man-made—it is God-ordained.
1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
This reveals a chain of divine alignment:
God → Christ → Man → Others
Even Christ submits to the Father. Therefore, submission is not inferiority—it is divine alignment.
You cannot walk in God’s will while resisting God’s order.
What is your personal understanding of authority before this lesson?
Have you ever struggled with submission? In what areas?
How does knowing that Christ submits to the Father change your perspective?
Jesus demonstrated perfect submission—not out of compulsion, but out of love and purpose.
Philippians 2:8 (KJV)
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
John 6:38 (KJV)
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
Submission is tested when obedience becomes costly.
True submission is revealed when your will conflicts with God’s will.
In what situations do you find it hardest to obey God?
What does “not my will, but Thine” mean in your daily life?
Are there areas where you are delaying obedience?
Many desire authority, but few understand its source.
Matthew 8:9 (KJV)
“For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me...”
The centurion understood that authority flows from being under authority.
You can only exercise authority in the measure that you are submitted.
A disconnected branch cannot bear fruit.
A soldier outside command cannot exercise rank.
Do you desire to operate in spiritual authority? Why?
Who are the spiritual authorities God has placed in your life?
How do you respond to correction or instruction?
Rebellion is subtle but destructive. It often hides behind pride, offense, or independence.
1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...”
Resistance to instruction
Justifying disobedience
Dishonor toward leadership
Desire to operate independently
Rebellion disconnects you from the flow of God’s grace and authority.
Have you ever resisted godly authority? What was the result?
Do you struggle with correction? Why?
What attitudes in your heart may reflect hidden rebellion?
God never designed disciples to grow alone. Spiritual authority provides covering and direction.
Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls...”
Teachability
Accountability
Honor and respect
Submission positions you under spiritual protection.
Are you actively connected to a spiritual authority or local church?
How do you demonstrate honor to your leaders?
Do you seek guidance, or only act independently?
Authority in God’s Kingdom is not about control—it is about service.
Matthew 20:25–26 (KJV)
“…the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them… But it shall not be so among you…”
Servant-hearted
Life-giving
Accountable to God
Motivated by love
Authority in the Kingdom is measured by responsibility, not power.
If God gives you authority, how will you use it?
Have you ever experienced misuse of authority? How did it affect you?
How can you reflect Christ in leadership?
Submission is not the end—it is the pathway to promotion.
1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
God promotes the submitted, not the self-exalted.
Humility → Submission → Trust → Authority → Elevation
Are you willing to wait for God’s timing for promotion?
Do you trust God to reward your obedience?
What does “due time” mean to you personally?
For the next 7 days, reflect and journal:
Lordship Check – Have I submitted my decisions to God today?
Authority Check – Have I honored and obeyed rightful authority?
Heart Check – Is there any resistance, pride, or offense in me?
Encourage the disciple to internalize these:
1 Samuel 15:23
Hebrews 13:17
1 Peter 5:6
Philippians 2:8
Why do you think submission is difficult for many believers today?
How can we distinguish between godly authority and abusive authority?
Share a testimony where submission led to blessing or growth.
How can we cultivate a culture of honor in the Church?
Submission is not bondage—it is freedom under God’s order.
Authority is not privilege—it is responsibility before God.
The eagle does not fight the wind—it yields to it and rises.
So must the disciple learn:
Alignment brings ascension. Submission releases power.
On Eagle’s Wings – Radical Discipleship (Volume 2)
Ang pagpapasakop at awtoridad ay hindi lamang mga doktrinang dapat maunawaan—ito ay mga katotohanang espirituwal na dapat isabuhay. Ang modyul na ito ay naglalayong dalhin ang bawat alagad sa ganap na pagkakaayon sa kaayusan ng Diyos, na magbubunga ng paglago, proteksyon, at kapamahalaan sa Espiritu.
Sa pagtatapos ng modyul na ito, ang bawat alagad ay:
Mauunawaan ang banal na kaayusan ng awtoridad.
Tatanggapin ang pagpapasakop bilang prinsipyo ng Kaharian ng Diyos.
Makikilala ang ugnayan ng pagpapasakop at awtoridad.
Matutukoy at mapagtagumpayan ang diwa ng paghihimagsik.
Lalakad sa awtoridad ni Cristo sa pamamagitan ng kababaang-loob at pagsunod.
Ang Kaharian ng Diyos ay may kaayusan. Ang awtoridad ay itinatag ng Diyos, hindi ng tao.
1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
Ipinapakita nito ang daloy ng awtoridad:
Diyos → Cristo → Tao → Iba
Kung si Cristo ay nagpapasakop sa Ama, gaano pa kaya tayo?
Hindi ka makakalakad sa kalooban ng Diyos kung tinatanggihan mo ang Kanyang kaayusan.
Ano ang dati mong pananaw tungkol sa awtoridad?
Sa anong bahagi ka nahihirapang magpasakop?
Paano binabago ng halimbawa ni Cristo ang iyong pananaw?
Ipinakita ni Jesus ang ganap na pagpapasakop sa Ama.
Philippians 2:8 (KJV)
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
John 6:38 (KJV)
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
Ang tunay na pagpapasakop ay nasusubok kapag salungat ang iyong kalooban sa kalooban ng Diyos.
Kailan ka nahihirapang sumunod sa Diyos?
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “hindi ang aking kalooban kundi ang Iyo”?
Mayroon bang bahagi ng buhay mo na hindi mo pa lubusang sinusuko?
Ang awtoridad ay hindi inaangkin—ito ay ipinagkakatiwala.
Matthew 8:9 (KJV)
“For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me...”
Ang awtoridad ay dumadaloy lamang sa mga taong nagpapasakop.
Nais mo bang magkaroon ng awtoridad sa espiritu? Bakit?
Sino ang mga awtoridad na inilagay ng Diyos sa iyong buhay?
Paano ka tumutugon sa pagsaway o pagtutuwid?
Ang paghihimagsik ay mapanlinlang at mapanganib.
1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...”
Ayaw tumanggap ng utos
Palaging may katuwiran sa pagsuway
Kawalan ng paggalang sa lider
Independent na espiritu
Ang paghihimagsik ay pumuputol sa daloy ng biyaya at awtoridad ng Diyos.
Nakaranas ka na bang tumutol sa awtoridad? Ano ang naging bunga?
Paano ka tumatanggap ng correction?
Mayroon bang ugali sa puso mo na may bahid ng paghihimagsik?
Ang bawat mananampalataya ay bahagi ng isang katawan.
Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls...”
May pusong natuturuan
May pananagutan (accountability)
May paggalang
Ang pagpapasakop ay naglalagay sa iyo sa ilalim ng proteksyon ng Diyos.
Ikaw ba ay konektado sa isang espirituwal na pamumuno?
Paano mo ipinapakita ang paggalang sa iyong lider?
Ikaw ba ay humihingi ng gabay o umaasa lang sa sarili?
Ang awtoridad sa Kaharian ay hindi para magkontrol kundi para maglingkod.
Matthew 20:25–26 (KJV)
“…the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them… But it shall not be so among you…”
May pusong lingkod
Nagbibigay-buhay
May pananagutan sa Diyos
Nakabatay sa pag-ibig
Ang tunay na awtoridad ay nasusukat sa pananagutan, hindi sa kapangyarihan.
Kung bibigyan ka ng awtoridad, paano mo ito gagamitin?
Nakaranas ka na ba ng maling paggamit ng awtoridad?
Paano mo maipapakita ang puso ni Cristo sa pamumuno?
Ang pagpapasakop ay daan patungo sa pag-angat.
1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
Itinataas ng Diyos ang mga nagpapakumbaba.
Handa ka bang maghintay sa tamang panahon ng Diyos?
Nagtitiwala ka ba na gagantimpalaan Niya ang iyong pagsunod?
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “due time” para sa iyo?
Isulat araw-araw:
Pagsusuri sa Panginoon – Isinuko ko ba ang aking mga desisyon sa Diyos?
Pagsusuri sa Awtoridad – Iginagalang ko ba ang awtoridad sa aking buhay?
Pagsusuri sa Puso – Mayroon bang pride, offense, o resistance sa akin?
1 Samuel 15:23
Hebrews 13:17
1 Peter 5:6
Philippians 2:8
Bakit mahirap para sa marami ang magpasakop?
Paano natin makikilala ang tunay na awtoridad mula sa pang-aabuso?
Magbahagi ng karanasan kung saan ang pagpapasakop ay nagdala ng pagpapala.
Paano tayo makakabuo ng kultura ng paggalang sa Iglesia?
Ang pagpapasakop ay hindi pagkaalipin—ito ay kalayaan sa ilalim ng kaayusan ng Diyos.
Ang awtoridad ay hindi pribilehiyo—ito ay pananagutan sa harap ng Diyos.
Ang agila ay hindi lumalaban sa hangin—ito ay sumasabay dito upang lumipad.
Gayon din ang alagad:
Ang pagkakaayon ang nagdadala ng pag-angat. Ang pagpapasakop ang naglalabas ng kapangyarihan.
On Eagle’s Wings – Radical Discipleship (Volume 2)
Submission and authority are among the most misunderstood and resisted truths in the life of a disciple. Yet, they are not optional principles—they are foundational realities in the Kingdom of God. A believer who desires to walk “on eagle’s wings” must come to terms with this: there is no elevation without submission, and no true authority without alignment under God’s order.
God is a God of order, not confusion. From the beginning, He established structure—not to restrict man, but to sustain him.
1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
Even Christ Himself operates within divine order. Authority flows from God downward, and every level of authority is accountable to the One above it. This reveals a powerful truth: submission is not weakness—it is alignment with heaven.
A disciple who rejects authority is not merely resisting man—he is resisting the system through which God governs His Kingdom.
No one embodied submission more perfectly than the Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was equal with God, He chose the path of obedience.
Philippians 2:8 (KJV)
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Submission is proven in obedience, especially when it costs something. Jesus did not submit because He was inferior, but because He was aligned with the Father’s will.
John 6:38 (KJV)
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
Here lies the essence of discipleship: not my will, but His will.
Many desire authority, but few embrace submission. Yet in the Kingdom, authority is not seized—it is entrusted.
The Roman centurion understood this principle:
Matthew 8:9 (KJV)
“For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me...”
He recognized that his authority over others was rooted in his submission to higher authority. Jesus marveled at this understanding.
Spiritual authority flows from spiritual submission.
If a disciple is not under authority, he cannot be trusted with authority. Rebellion disqualifies; submission qualifies.
Scripture consistently warns against rebellion because it strikes at the very order of God.
1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...”
Rebellion is not merely an attitude—it is a spiritual force that opens the door to deception and disorder. It was the sin that caused Lucifer to fall, and it remains one of the greatest hindrances to spiritual growth.
A disciple must guard his heart against:
Independent spirit
Resistance to correction
Dishonor toward leadership
These are subtle forms of rebellion that erode spiritual authority.
God places believers within a spiritual family—not as isolated individuals, but as members of a body.
Hebrews 13:17 (KJV)
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls...”
Submission within the Church is not blind obedience—it is a recognition of God-appointed leadership for spiritual covering, guidance, and growth.
True submission involves:
Teachability
Accountability
Honor
Where there is no submission, there is no protection. Where there is no authority, there is no direction.
Authority in the Kingdom is not about control—it is about stewardship.
Matthew 20:25–26 (KJV)
“…the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them… But it shall not be so among you…”
Kingdom authority is servant-hearted. It builds, not destroys. It covers, not crushes.
Those in authority must remember:
They are under authority
They will give account
Their role is to serve, not dominate
Abuse of authority is a distortion of God’s design, but misuse does not nullify the principle—it calls for restoration to the pattern of Christ.
God exalts those who humble themselves under His mighty hand.
1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
Submission is not a downward path—it is an upward journey in disguise. The eagle rises not by resisting the wind, but by aligning with it.
So it is with the disciple:
When you align with God’s authority, you are carried by His power.
Submission and authority are not burdens to bear—they are wings to carry you.
To resist them is to remain grounded.
To embrace them is to soar.
Let every disciple ask:
Am I submitted to God fully?
Am I aligned with spiritual authority?
Am I walking in humility and obedience?
For in the Kingdom of God, those who kneel lowest…
rise highest.
A Messianic Jew understands that faith in Yeshua fulfills the promises given to Israel:
Romans 11:1 (KJV)
“Hath God cast away his people? God forbid…”
He does not abandon his identity—he now sees:
Torah → fulfilled in Messiah
Promises → confirmed in Messiah
Covenant → renewed in Messiah
This gives deep motivation: “I am part of God’s unfolding redemptive plan.”
His Scripture life becomes richer, not divided:
Genesis–Deuteronomy read as God’s covenant story
Now seen through the lens of Messiah
Messianic prophecies become alive (Isaiah 53, Psalm 22)
Teachings of Yeshua and the Apostles
Luke 24:27 (KJV)
“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them…”
📌 Daily Practice:
Follow a reading cycle (Torah portion + Gospel + Epistles)
Ask: “How does this reveal Messiah and shape my obedience today?”
A devout Jew who follows Yeshua often maintains structured prayer:
Morning (Shacharit)
Afternoon (Mincha)
Evening (Ma’ariv)
But now, prayer is through Messiah:
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace…”
📌 What changes?
Greater intimacy (Abba Father)
Awareness of the Holy Spirit
Confidence in access to God
This is the major shift: not just external observance, but inward life.
Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV)
“I will put my law in their inward parts…”
Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
“Walk in the Spirit…”
📌 Daily nurturing includes:
Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
Obedience from the heart
Repentance and alignment
This produces living motivation, not obligation.
Instead of abandoning them, he sees their fulfillment:
Rest in God + rest in Messiah
Spiritual renewal
Passover → Messiah our Lamb
Pentecost (Shavuot) → Spirit given
Tabernacles → God dwelling with us
Colossians 2:17 (KJV)
“Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
📌 These become powerful discipleship rhythms.
He does not walk alone.
Fellowship with other believers (Jew and Gentile)
Torah study + Apostolic teaching
Worship centered on Yeshua
Acts 2:42 (KJV)
“They continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine…”
A Messianic Jew often carries a strong sense of calling:
Romans 1:16 (KJV)
“To the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
📌 Motivation to serve comes from:
Gratitude for Messiah
Desire to see Israel saved
Calling to be a light
Here’s a simple daily rhythm:
Bless the LORD (Modeh Ani spirit)
Scripture reading (Torah + NT)
Prayer (structured + personal)
Walk in obedience
Listen to the Spirit
Practice righteousness (justice, kindness)
Reflection and repentance
Thanksgiving
Worship
Ultimately, what drives him is not law, but love fulfilled in covenant:
John 14:15 (KJV)
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
2 Corinthians 5:14 (KJV)
“For the love of Christ constraineth us…”
A devout Jew who embraces Yeshua nurtures his relationship with the LORD by:
Remaining rooted in God’s covenant with Israel
Seeing all Scripture through Messiah
Living by the Spirit, not just tradition
Practicing daily rhythms of prayer, Word, and obedience
Walking in community and mission
👉 His life becomes a powerful testimony:
Not a departure from Judaism—but its fulfillment in Messiah.
