PURPOSE Before PARTNER
As far as the issue of marriage is concerned, God moves in mysterious ways. Take note of the emergence of a bride for Isaac and learn a few lessons. It is unfortunate, that many miss life’s best through carelessness. Beloved, what God has earmarked for your breakthroughs in life might come to you on the pathway of duty. If you happen to be non-challant and careless, you may miss out on God’s best. Many have remained unmarried today because of laziness. Many have missed their God appointed spouses through uncomely character. Those who are snobbish, cantankerous, proud as well as those who talk like parrots have missed God’s best. God may decide to give you a test before he leads you to your appointed partner. If you fail the test you may end up denying yourself of a glorious opportunity.
A TEST
For Isaac’s spouse there was a simple test. A lady who meets a total stranger and is courteous enough to offer the fellow water to drink. A lady who is patient enough to painstakingly give water to all the camels. A lady who is hardworking and will be ready to spend close to 2hours giving water to animals must be someone who believes in the dignity of labour. Rebecca met all these conditions. Today, how many ladies possess the attributes of a true Christian wife? To be quite honest with you, many of our sisters who are praying night and day simply need to stop praying for a while and work on their character. If you pray and God has answered you and you decide to drive your godly partner away through negative behaviour, what is the essence of your prayers?
Some ladies are so proud that they will never accept what can make them stoop and give water to animals. Some ladies have become so sophisticated that they are not willing to fix simple meals in the kitchen. My message to our spinsters and bachelors is ‘Prepare yourself as you pray for. a suitable partner.’ Do not be too long in anxiety and short in personal preparation. The moment Christian
virtues and brokenness are visible in your life, you will be attracted to your spouse. Rebecca did not know that she was being given a test that would determine her destiny. But she humbly obeyed. What an example of brokenness. Many of our sisters, today, are not working on themselves. Brokenness is nowhere to be found.
THE POWER OF BROKENNESS
What we often see is carnality. What would have made Rebecca to serve a total stranger and give water to all his animals? Brokenness. Beloved, can brokenness be found in your speech and actions? Are you submissive? If, as a lady, you are not ready to come under the leadership of a man, I simply put it to you that you are not ready for marriage. Rebecca manifested common courtesy. She was kind. Murmuring and complaining were far from her. She was an example of an ideal woman. What we need, today, are spinsters whose lives match the picture of the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31.
Proverb 31:10-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her
blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
DIVINE ATTRACTION
As a lady, you must enter the divine laboratory and allow God to work on you. When you become who God wants you to be you will become a hot cake. Consequently, you will be attracted to the right partner. When your character is ugly, you will suffer the misfortune of being attracted to the wrong men. Are you in the category of ladies who are attracted or magnetized to men who keep deceiving, jilting and cheating on them? A lot of ladies are always getting involved with men who disappoint and dump them. Such men will make statements like “I like you but I don’t love you or I love you but I’m not in love with you.”
Some ladies have fallen into the nets of men who smooth-tongued them, only to suck them dry and throwaway the empty carcass. Some ladies stay awake throughout the night worrying. “Does it mean that I am going to die a single? Is this how I will continue to live? Would I ever get married?” Many ladies soak their pillows with tears on daily basis. A lot of people are not able to come out of the traumatic experiences which they had in attempt to get married. Many bachelors and spinsters are so confused that they don’t know what to do. The problem of loneliness and isolation has reached an epidemic dimension. Many are busy echoing the words of the Psalmist.
Psalm 102:3-9
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
Many who are grappling with problems in the area of marriage have almost gotten to a point when they are suffering from mental disturbance. Many hearts are beating faster. A lot of people have resorted to hunger strikes. Some bachelors and spinsters groan secretly. A lot of people are battling with isolation and loneliness. If you listen to some bachelors and spinsters, you will discover that their ordeals are monumental in dimension. A lot of people are tired of being best men and best ladies without any inkling whatsoever concerning when their own marriage will ever be conducted. Many ladies and gentlemen are simply tired of being asked when they will get married by friends and family members. A lot of people are becoming tempted to the point of considering demonic advices that they are being given by so called concerned colleagues. Some are already contemplating making use of the sperm bank to get pregnant without getting married. They just want to have children whether the child has a father or not. Many ladies have suffered the misfortune of being attracted to Mr. Wrong. Some people have been advised to go for breast enlargement and consequently attract men.
THE REAL PICTURE
It is amusing that some ladies have concluded that they have remained single because they have flat buttocks. Such ladies are already thinking of increasing the size of their buttocks through surgical operation. The problems of bachelors and spinsters are legion. To be very frank with you, something is surely wrong somewhere. Some ladies wonder why the men they are contemplating getting married to are always staring at other ladies right in their glare. Some men are simply frustrated. They cannot imagine how they will get married to ladies who are tied to their mother’s apron-strings. There are ladies who are also thinking of breaking-up simply because the mothers of the men have simply declared that over their dead bodies the marriage will not take place.
BACK TO THE BIBLE
There are battles to fight for everyone planning to get married. It is quite possible that you are attractive, nice, intelligent, kindhearted, educated and talented but you can’t find the right partner. There are powers behind your problems. This book will do wonders in your life. Give it your rapt attention. It
would put an end to your stubborn ordeals. One thing this book will never do is to teach you how to dress to attract the opposite sex. It will surely not teach you worldly methods that would make men run after you like a dog. I am not going to prescribe trendy make-up styles that will make you appear like a masquerade before men. You will not find worldly wisdom on the pages of this book. What you would find is the truth that would set you free. People have told you enough lies. No doubt you have been given more than enough prescriptions that has left a sour taste on your tongue. What I’m about to take you through are tested and proven spiritual principles that will enable you locate the kind of person God wants you to marry. You will not learn demonic seductive principles from the pages of this book. I am simply going to take you back to the Bible and unveil the principles that God has ear marked to enable you get married and live happily ever after.
Contrary to the perverted views of the world, marriage is honorable.
Hebrew 13:4
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
It is still possible to enjoy and achieve a glorious marriage here in this world. The methods of the world have failed previous generations. Carnal ideas will only push you out of the frying pan into the fire of marital distress. Contrary to popular opinion, there are plenty of wonderful, godly, kind and exciting men and women waiting to be hooked up by equally godly and prepared partners.
THE BLUEPRINTS
If only you are prepared to follow the instructions that are outlined in the scriptures, your journey into marriage shall be smooth and your home will be heaven on earth. God has not changed. The problem is that we often fail to play our own part. I don’t know how old you are, but the truth is that age is not the issue. As a matter of fact, you are as old or young as you feel. If you say that you are too old, people around you will see you as a bachelor or a spinster who is overaged. If you develop a young mindset, people will believe that you are young even when you are advanced in age. You must be prepared to cast away the garment of frustration like blind Barthimaeus.
Mark 10:49-50
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
A NEW SEASON
The Lord is prepared to do something new in your life. Take your mind away from whatever you have passed through. God has a prophetic word for you.
Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
God is taking you to a season of marital breakthroughs. He wants you to stop leaning on your own understanding. You need to saturate your inner man with the word of God. You must ignore what the society is saying about you. You need to go to God with a clean slate and ask Him to write something new on it.
Finally, be prepared to accept the will of God. Of course, you must be ready to do His will. God is set to turn the tables and favour you. Beloved bachelors and spinsters, the time to favour you in now.
The favour of God will make a difference at this crucial moment in your journey towards marriage.
Of course you must pray fervently as if you have never prayed before. Be expectant. The prayer points below will yield amazing results.
