Teaching Module: Submission and Authority

On Eagle’s Wings – Radical Discipleship (Volume 2)

---

Module Overview

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.

---

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, the disciple should be able to:

1. Understand God’s divine structure of authority.

2. Embrace submission as a spiritual principle, not a human imposition.

3. Recognize the connection between submission and authority.

4. Identify and overcome rebellious tendencies.

5. Walk in Christ-like authority through humility and obedience.

---

Section 1: The Divine Pattern of Authority

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.

Key Insight

You cannot walk in God’s will while resisting God’s order.

Reflection Questions

1. What is your personal understanding of authority before this lesson?

2. Have you ever struggled with submission? In what areas?

3. How does knowing that Christ submits to the Father change your perspective?

---

Section 2: Jesus Christ – The Model of Submission

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.

Key Insight

True submission is revealed when your will conflicts with God’s will.

Reflection Questions

1. In what situations do you find it hardest to obey God?

2. What does “not my will, but Thine” mean in your daily life?

3. Are there areas where you are delaying obedience?

---

Section 3: The Principle – Submission Precedes Authority

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.

Key Insight

You can only exercise authority in the measure that you are submitted.

Practical Illustration

• A disconnected branch cannot bear fruit.

• A soldier outside command cannot exercise rank.

Reflection Questions

1. Do you desire to operate in spiritual authority? Why?

2. Who are the spiritual authorities God has placed in your life?

3. How do you respond to correction or instruction?

---

Section 4: Identifying the Spirit of Rebellion

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...”

Signs of Rebellion

• Resistance to instruction

• Justifying disobedience

• Dishonor toward leadership

• Desire to operate independently

Key Insight

Rebellion disconnects you from the flow of God’s grace and authority.

Reflection Questions

1. Have you ever resisted godly authority? What was the result?

2. Do you struggle with correction? Why?

3. What attitudes in your heart may reflect hidden rebellion?

---

Section 5: Submission in the Body of Christ

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...”

Expressions of True Submission

• Teachability

• Accountability

• Honor and respect

Key Insight

Submission positions you under spiritual protection.

Reflection Questions

1. Are you actively connected to a spiritual authority or local church?

2. How do you demonstrate honor to your leaders?

3. Do you seek guidance, or only act independently?

---

Section 6: The Nature of Kingdom Authority

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…”

Characteristics of Christ-like Authority

• Servant-hearted

• Life-giving

• Accountable to God

• Motivated by love

Key Insight

Authority in the Kingdom is measured by responsibility, not power.

Reflection Questions

1. If God gives you authority, how will you use it?

2. Have you ever experienced misuse of authority? How did it affect you?

3. How can you reflect Christ in leadership?

---

Section 7: The Reward of Submission – Divine Elevation

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:”

Key Insight

God promotes the submitted, not the self-exalted.

Spiritual Principle

• Humility → Submission → Trust → Authority → Elevation

Reflection Questions

1. Are you willing to wait for God’s timing for promotion?

2. Do you trust God to reward your obedience?

3. What does “due time” mean to you personally?

---

Practical Application Exercise

Daily Alignment Check

For the next 7 days, reflect and journal:

1. Lordship Check – Have I submitted my decisions to God today?

2. Authority Check – Have I honored and obeyed rightful authority?

3. Heart Check – Is there any resistance, pride, or offense in me?

---

Memory Verses

Encourage the disciple to internalize these:

• 1 Samuel 15:23

• Hebrews 13:17

• 1 Peter 5:6

• Philippians 2:8

---

Group Discussion (For Life Groups / House Churches)

1. Why do you think submission is difficult for many believers today?

2. How can we distinguish between godly authority and abusive authority?

3. Share a testimony where submission led to blessing or growth.

4. How can we cultivate a culture of honor in the Church?

---

Closing Exhortation

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.

Submission and Authority

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.

1. The Divine Order of Authority

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.

2. Jesus: The Perfect Model of Submission

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.

3. Submission Releases Authority

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.

4. The Danger of Rebellion

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.

5. Submission in the Body of Christ

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.

6. Authority Must Reflect Christ

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.

7. Submission as a Path to Elevation

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.

---

Final Exhortation

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.

Walking with Lord Yeshua

 Rediscovering the Ancient, Joyful Path of Covenant Relationship.

What Happens When A Devout Jew Receives Yeshua as His Messiah

A Sequel to the Book "Fully Persuaded"

 1. He Continues in Covenant Identity (Fulfilled, Not Replaced)

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.”

---

📖 2. Daily Immersion in the Word (Torah + Messiah Revealed)

His Scripture life becomes richer, not divided:

A. Torah (Foundation)

• Genesis–Deuteronomy read as God’s covenant story

• Now seen through the lens of Messiah

B. Prophets & Writings

• Messianic prophecies become alive (Isaiah 53, Psalm 22)

C. Apostolic Writings (New Testament)

• 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?”

---

🙏 3. Prayer Pattern Rooted in Jewish Rhythm

A devout Jew who follows Yeshua often maintains structured prayer:

Traditional Rhythm:

• 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

---

🕊️ 4. Walking in the Spirit (Inner Transformation)

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.

---

🍞 5. Honoring Shabbat and Biblical Feasts in Messiah

Instead of abandoning them, he sees their fulfillment:

Shabbat

• Rest in God + rest in Messiah

• Spiritual renewal

Feasts (Leviticus 23)

• 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.

---

🤝 6. Life in Community (Messianic Fellowship)

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…”

---

🔥 7. Living with Mission (Calling to Israel and Nations)

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

---

💡 8. Daily Devotional Flow (Practical Pattern)

Here’s a simple daily rhythm:

Morning

• Bless the LORD (Modeh Ani spirit)

• Scripture reading (Torah + NT)

• Prayer (structured + personal)

Daytime

• Walk in obedience

• Listen to the Spirit

• Practice righteousness (justice, kindness)

Evening

• Reflection and repentance

• Thanksgiving

• Worship

---

❤️ The Core Motivation

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…”

---

✨ Summary Insight

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.

KINGDOM LEADERSHIP AND LEGACY

 MODULE 10:

Objective

To equip mature Kingdom disciples to lead with servant authority and build generational legacy that outlasts their lifetime.

Key Scriptures

• Matthew 20:25–28 – “But Jesus called them to him and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’”
• 2 Timothy 2:2 – “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
• Psalm 78:4–7 – “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.”

Lesson Notes

These notes are designed for the facilitator/teacher to deliver over 1–2 sessions (90–120 minutes total), with time for teaching, reflection, mentoring practice, and commissioning. This capstone module builds directly on Modules 1–9: “We have entered the Kingdom through the new birth (Module 1), embraced our royal identity (Module 2), walked in Spirit-empowered authority (Module 3), aligned with Kingdom culture (Module 4), released heaven through prayer (Module 5), multiplied disciples (Module 6), thrived in covenant community (Module 7), stewarded resources for multiplication (Module 8), and learned to persevere with hope until the King returns (Module 9). Now we shift from personal discipleship to leadership and legacy—raising up the next generation of leaders who will carry the Kingdom forward long after we are gone. True Kingdom leadership is not about titles or control; it is about reproducing Christlike servant-leaders who multiply the King’s rule across generations.” Keep the tone visionary, humble, and urgent. Emphasize that every mature disciple is called to lead and leave a legacy. Use the life of Jesus and the apostles as primary models.

Introduction (10–15 minutes)

• Welcome and open in prayer, asking the King to raise up faithful leaders who will extend His reign for generations.
• Quick review: Ask, “From Module 9, why must we persevere until the end?” (Because the King is returning, and only those who endure will fully experience the fulfillment of the Kingdom).
• Transition: “Perseverance keeps us faithful, but leadership and legacy ensure the Kingdom advances beyond our lifetime. Jesus didn’t build a movement that died with Him—He invested in twelve, who invested in others, who changed the world. Today we learn to lead like the King: with servant authority, intentional multiplication, and a long-term legacy that honors God across generations.”
• Read the three Key Scriptures aloud (different participants reading each). Highlight the contrast: worldly leadership lords over others; Kingdom leadership serves and gives life. The command is clear—entrust to faithful men who will teach others also.

Teaching Point 1: Servant Leadership – The Kingdom Model (20–25 minutes)

• Matthew 20:25–28 flips every worldly leadership model upside down. Gentile rulers “lord it over” people; Kingdom leaders must become servants and slaves.
• Jesus Himself is the ultimate example: the Son of Man came to serve and give His life as a ransom. Greatness in the Kingdom is measured by how much we serve and how freely we lay down our lives.
• Key characteristics of Kingdom leaders:
  • Humility instead of pride
  • Authority exercised through love and sacrifice, not control
  • Focus on developing others rather than building personal platforms
  • Willingness to wash feet (John 13:1–17) and carry the cross daily
• Practical shift: Move from “How can I be recognized?” to “How can I equip and release others?” This flows naturally from our royal priesthood (Module 2) and five-fold equipping role (Module 7).

Teaching Point 2: Multiplication of Leaders – The 2 Timothy 2:2 Model (15–20 minutes)

• 2 Timothy 2:2 is the biblical blueprint for generational multiplication: Paul → Timothy → faithful men → others also.
• This is not casual mentoring—it is intentional, relational entrusting of sound doctrine, Kingdom values, authority, and mission.
• Four generations in one verse:
  1. You receive the truth
  2. You entrust it to faithful people
  3. They become able to teach
  4. They teach the next generation
• Link to previous modules: Use the full discipleship manual (Modules 1–9) as the curriculum. Raise leaders who know their identity, walk in power, live the culture, pray with authority, evangelize, build community, steward resources, and endure.
• Warning: Only entrust to “faithful” men and women—those proven in character and fruit, not just talent.

Teaching Point 3: Building Generational Legacy Through Teaching and Testimony (15 minutes)

• Psalm 78:4–7 commands us not to hide God’s works from the next generation. We must tell the glorious deeds of the Lord so that children yet unborn will set their hope in God and keep His commandments.
• Legacy is more than leaving money or buildings—it is passing on living faith, Kingdom worldview, and firsthand testimonies of God’s faithfulness.
• Practical ways to build legacy:
  • Intentional family discipleship (starting at home)
  • Raising spiritual sons and daughters in the church
  • Documenting and sharing testimonies of Kingdom breakthroughs
  • Releasing leaders into new territories and ministries

Teaching Point 4: Releasing Leaders and Finishing Well (10–15 minutes)

• Kingdom leadership culminates in release, not retention. Jesus released the Twelve; Paul released Timothy. Mature leaders equip, empower, and send.

• Use this comparison table for clarity:

  Aspect	Worldly Leadership	Kingdom Leadership and Legacy
  Authority	Control and dominance	Servant service and empowerment
  Focus	Personal success and platform	Multiplication and generational impact
  Measure of success	Numbers and recognition	Faithful leaders who reproduce
  Time horizon	Short-term results	Eternal legacy across generations
  End goal	Self-preservation	The King receives all the glory

• Final challenge: Lead in such a way that when the King returns, He finds you faithfully raising others who are doing the same.

Key Truth (repeat 2–3 times)

Kingdom leaders serve with humility, multiply faithful disciples, and build legacy so that the next generation will know and serve the King.

Activities (20–30 minutes)

• Leadership self-assessment and commitment: Provide a simple worksheet with questions drawn from the teaching points (e.g., “In what area am I still leading like the Gentiles instead of as a servant?”). Each person identifies one growth area and writes a personal commitment to servant leadership.
• Mentoring and release role-play: In groups of 3–4, practice a mentoring conversation: One person acts as the emerging leader, another as the mentor releasing them into ministry. Use 2 Timothy 2:2 language and pray a release prayer over them.
• Legacy vision-casting exercise: Each participant writes a one-paragraph “Legacy Statement”—what they want the next generation to say about their life and leadership. Share one sentence with the group, then pray over each person’s legacy.

Closing (5–10 minutes)

• Summarize: “The Kingdom does not advance through lone heroes but through generations of servant leaders who pour their lives into others. You are not the end of the story—you are a link in an unbroken chain that will continue until the King returns in glory.”
• Prayer: Lead a powerful commissioning time. Lay hands on every participant and release them as Kingdom leaders with authority to serve, multiply, and leave a godly legacy. Declare blessing over their future disciples and the generations to come.
• Final charge: “Go and make leaders who make leaders. Serve like Jesus, entrust like Paul, and teach like the fathers of Israel—so that the knowledge of the King fills the earth.”

Homework / Capstone Assignment

• Memorize Matthew 20:26–28 and 2 Timothy 2:2.
• Identify and begin intentionally mentoring at least one emerging leader using the full 9-module manual as curriculum.
• Share your Legacy Statement with your covenant group (Module 7) and ask for accountability.
• Review the entire 10-module manual and prayerfully decide how you will implement it in your local context—whether in small groups, families, or churches.
