Last night Mike told
Adaora that he was tired of her and never wants to see her again because she was
not attractive to him again. Adaora my childhood friend was traumatised because
she gave him 5 years of her life trying to impress him in the relationship and she
was angry with herself for wasting time in an unfruitful relationship inspite
of warnings from all quarters!! As she was crying and talking to me on phone, she
screamed at me; when will I get married? How will I start a new relationship
again? Why is my life so miserable? God is not fair to me? .....and so on!
I can’t remember all
the questions she was asking me but I must tell you that I was speechless and I
couldn’t answer her because I was not prepared for those questions at that
time! But today by the grace of God I intend to do justice to this issue about
waiting matured singles who feel that all hope is lost! Listen carefully please! It is not what happens to a man but what
happens IN that man that counts!
Christian singles
should rise up and say that they are going to make God their heart’s greatest
desire and not pursue relationships the way the rest of the world does. I will
like to say that only God can bring a godly spouse to you! So you must make
yourself godly to get the BEST from God. You should be able to say Lord inspite
of what I see, I am going to do what I believe you called me to do and have the
standards you called me to have. I think that is the starting point, making it
an issue of obedience to God.
Today many Christian singles
are disillusioned with the way romantic relationships are handled. You desperately
want something better, but what you long for won’t come by putting a new name
on old attitudes. We have to change our attitudes now!
You may be asking
yourself, why must I be through all these pains and heartbreaks and age is not
on my side. Look friend the Bible says that weeping may endure for the night
but joy comes in the morning. So don’t lose hope, your morning of Joy shall
surely come today! All these pains happen to you because you are special and chosen
by God!
Hear this! You belong
to the Jacob generation and loved by God, right from when you were in your mother’s
womb. You may have a lot of questions to ask but all I know about God is that
He never fails. Most singles ask these questions always; how long will I wait
for the right man or lady? Can I manage anyone that comes my way? My candid
answer to these questions are; It won’t be long you will be fully settled in
your respective homes but never settle for less! God has the best for you. He can’t
give you serpent instead of bread. Listen, He will not only give you bread but
will also apply butter to it.
No matter how many
relationships you have been that have failed and your mind keeps telling you that
you are getting old, relax God is in charge! Do you want to hear the
truth, many people are desperate to get married and may conceal some secrets from
you that only trained eyes, ears and heart can detect. Please listen to your
heart, no matter how far you have gone in the relationship if you start
developing cold feet, pray about it. Keep praying until God shows you what to
do next. Eventually, you will have to make the decision whether to marry
him/her or not. Most importantly, follow the peace of God and if you have no
peace about the relationship, now is the time to have a serious talk with the
man/woman and I support a broken engagement than a broken marriage! Yes break up!
God has a plan for your
life; He has a woman/man that He will lead into your life to fulfil His
purpose. Prayerfully let go of a wrong relationship and see what God will do. He
will never put those who depend on Him to shame. Your life will be full of
testimonies of His goodness when you diligently follow the leading of His
Spirit.
Welcome to your season
of a Change in Status! This is your season to be married! God will NEVER and I repeat
NEVER fail you!!
