To all the singles,
When you are in a flight, there is first class seat and economy, so is GOD’s plan for us. Most people are meant to be in first class but they end up in economy class because of their wrong choice of a partner. It is very important to seek the consent of GOD towards someone we intend spending the rest of our life with. Gen 24: 2-7: Abraham asked GOD to choose a wife for Isaac, if Isaac had married a woman of his choice, the word o0f GOD would have come to pass but the story might end up differently. The most high would rather change people instead of his plans.
Many marriages end in disaster because some people do not seek GOD’s guidance. Some men cannot go home at night because of the trouble they encounter at home. In most cases, GOD chooses a partner for us but we obey our lost “what we call LOVEâ€Â, then blame GOD for not taking control. The story of Samson (in the bible) is an interesting one. The bible states that Samson grew to be a strong man of legend. Samson found one young Philistine woman that he wanted to marry but his parents felt sad about this affair because they knew it was not of the lord (judges 14:4). In verse 17, the lady betrayed him. Judges 16, Samson falls in love with Delilah, another philistine woman and that was the end. I feel his end began the day he met Delilah, she was the cause of his death.
A legend was brought down by a woman; he was unable to fulfill his purpose because he chose to satisfy his want. Some times, our life partner might not be perfect, they might not be the handsome or super cute lady we dream about but I tell you, peace is greater than beauty and beauty resides in the heart. When GOD chooses, he gives according to proverbs31: 10-31.
Abigail was a good wife, she was wise enough to intercede for her husband and that saved her husband. If Abigail was a proud wife with non-challant attitude, Nabal’s blood would have been shed. 1samuel 25 and 26. Zipporah also saved her husband (Moses) form death, exodus4:24&25. It is better to be single for a long time than be a divorcee for the rest of your life.
Some of us date liability, GOD promised you a partner as a helper not a liability. There is nothing GOD cannot do but many are things GOD won’t do. Prayer won’t change everything. For instance: If you are trusting GOD for the fruit of the womb but refuse to have sex with your husband, baby won’t come, pray and fast till forever-u want a baby, move closer to your husband. Simple logic...
Seek wisdom from GOD, be disciplined and watch out for signs. There are things that should not be compromised. If he hits u once, he will do it again. A friend of mine is experiencing “domestic abuse†because she loved him. Love will build a home while wisdom maintains the home. Choose wisely, seek GOD.
All d best.
