TO FIND THE RIGHT MATE
The scripture says “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed
undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4” “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtained
favour of the LORD. Proverbs
18:22”
God in
the beginning ordained marriage and the family unit as the first and most
important institution on earth. Man and woman were charge of being fruitful and
ruling over the earth and Animal kingdom. Man and woman were created to form family
relationships. This stated purpose of God creation indicates that He considers
a godly family and the raising of children of utmost priority in the world. The
future of the earth was placed under the dominion of man and woman.
THINGS MARRIED WILL NOT DO FOR YOU.
Married will not take away your loneliness: some people can be lonely in the midst of people. Some are
lonely in their working place. Loneliness is the attitude of the heart. If you
want to married because you are always lonely then you need to change your mind
set. Some married men and women they are most lonely people in the world. To
choose not to be lonely is you decision. When you decide not to be lonely from
your heart then you can see the best of your life. The goal of married is
oneness.
Married is not sex day and night: Married is about sharing together, paying school fee, cleaning
together, cooking, loving one another, praying together, empowering each other,
correcting one another, setting up some goal to achieve together. Having sex
with your partner is good but married is not only about sex. Average couples
have sex 2 or 3 time a week. While some couples they don’t even have the time
to have sex 1 in a week because they are busy planning to achieve some goal.
Married does not change anybody: you can change your dress, school, cars and so on. But married
cannot change your real personality.
Married expose who you are. Married amplify who you are. Michele Obama
said “Been a president doesn’t really change who you are, but it expose you to
the world who you are.” If you are a positive person, married will expose you.
If you are negative person, married will also expose you.
Being a Christian it’s a help to make your
married work: Christianity is a great help to
make you have a happy home but it does not guarantee you that as far you
married a church person you will not have issue in you married. Been a
Christian helps to handle some family issue with the wisdom and the knowledge of
the Holy Ghost.
Married will not make you complete: Married does not complete anybody
Married does not remove temptation: Satan is our greatest enemy of our family. As Christians, we
must be aware that we are engage in spiritual warfare with unseen but very real
power of evil that is against the peace of our family. Without the Holy Spirit
and proper use of God’s word in overcoming temptation: realize that through the
word of God you have the power to resist any appeal Satan can make in your
family (John 15:3, 7). Memories the word of God in your heart. Pray for the
grace God for you to overcome any temptation that will comes your way. Decide
from your heart to be faithful to your spouse.
THINGS TO DO TO HAVE A RIGHT MATE.
Keep Jesus First in your life. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you including a right mate (Matthew 6:33).
Love God with all your heart. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall
give thee the desire of thine heart. Trust in God for a right mate and you will
have it (Psalm 37:4,5). When you seek God with all your heart, God will give
you a right mate.
Ask God definitely for a right mate: Pray for God to bless you with a right mate. Ask, and it shall
be given you;… (Matthew 7:7). This mean we must keep on asking God for a right mate. Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
(Psalm 2:8) When God answer you with a
wonderful mate you will enjoy your married. A lot of People want easy way to be
married without spending their time and pray for the right mate, that why a lot
of families are collapsing.
Believe God for a right mate: The process that you use to believe God for other things that
you are looking for, apply the same process when you are seeking for a right
mate. Find some scripture and apply it when you are praying e.g. Proverbs
18:22, 19:14 Matthew 7:7. To have the right mate is a favour from God then, ask
God to favour you with a right mate. Live to believe God that he will answer
you with a right mate.
Knowing that married is not an escape
mechanism: don’t think to married because
you want to escape from your parent or sibling trouble. If you try to treat
married as escape mechanism you will fall in the same hand you are trying to
escape. Go into married with the mind of love and with readiness to work out
your married.
Be led by the Holy Spirit: physical things like Houses, Cars, good career…. All these are
good but would not give you the right mate. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide and
direct you. They are two things that make up who you married: what you see
about the person and what you don’t see about the person. When Adam sees Eve he
said this is the flesh of my flesh and the burns of my burns. You can see and
torch the flesh but you can’t see the burns and remember the burns are the pillars
of the body. Don’t allow your flesh to choose by what he has; good job, cars,
good figure in the bank, the family background and so on all these things are
good but they will not tell you about the future. When you allow God to take
charge of your life, the Holy Spirit will give you a right mate. God is in
charge of those things that you cannot see. God is in charge of the future so
trust Him for a wonderful mate.
Understand the season of your life: To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under the heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1) God take
our life through season not years. Understand the season of your life. When
your season passes you stop going around. When the right person come to you in
your season and you reject him you will be the one going after him in future. If
you discover your season has passes, ask God for a second chance, bring your
standard down-don’t comprises yourself, ask for extra help from your counselor
or pastor, be approachable, be accessible, be attractive, stop moving around
with married people, pray about and be yourself.
When certain don’t procrastinate: when the right person that you know already that he will come
and ask you for a relationship don’t procrastinate to accept him. And make it
clear to those that are not the best for to stop coming to you. When you accept
him without delay or try to play him before you accept him it does not make you
cheap. And any person that regard you so cheap give him/her a red card and
believe God for the right person and God will send the right person to you.
