MARRIAGE: CHOOSING A PARTNER 2

"AND THE LORD GOD SAID, “It is not good that man should be alone; I WILL MAKE HIM A HELPER COMPARABLE TO HIM.”
Genesis 2:18 (NKJV)

14 DO NOT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? OR WHAT PART HAS A BELIEVER WITH AN UNBELIEVER?
2 Corinthians 6:14–15 (NKJV)

• To avoid marrying wrongly.

• Accept God offer, to avoid delay in getting a partner that might lead to deperation and eventually marrying wrongly.
• I discovered that most sisters who had delays in getting a partner had had the opportunity of meeting one or two right persons brought their way by God, at the one time or another, but missed it.
• In God's offer, there are always hidden packages of blessings that you might not see or know or discern.
  The man that God is giving you as a sister might not yet have some things, the material things you desire; but in your relationship with him, God has packaged the discovery of His, God's, purpose or plan, which eventually would produce all those material things you are anticipating or desiring.
• If as a sister, a believer, you missed It; It would be good that you do not allow desperation to push or cause you to marry just anyone else who comes your way without proper clearance from God. Because God is a God of second chance, even third chance. If you patiently wait, God would allow another right choice or person to come your way; after He, God, might have dealt with that carnality and hardheadedness that made you missed it at the onset.
• God would want you to mature a bit more before He eventually allows another right person to come your way.

• A believer who focuses on her spiritual life, who identifies with a local church, and submit to the authority under which she is—who cares to obey her pastor and reverence him or her (Hebrews 13:7,17).

• If a believer married with the good counsel of a good spiritual parent who has the fear of God; such would not regret in her journey in marriage.
• Although, there are ministers who are crooks, who are into matchmaking, and have destroyed some people's lives—those who listened to them and followed their counseling are regretting.
• I have heard of ministers who collected money from some men and arranged some sisters in their churches or ministries for such men. This is the reason why I said a spiritual father or shepherd who has the fear of God.
• If the pastor under which you are is God fearing, and you listened or heeded his counsel and instructions; you would find yourself in God's right plan or Will. Even If the proposed husband does not have all you desired that your would-be marriage partner should have materially, at the initial stage of the relationship; such things may eventually be provided by God in the married life—because you are under God's Will.

• Marriage is an important issue in your journey in life and ministry—If there is a call of God on your life.

• Note:
  a. Marriage is not for boys and girls but mature people; those who are emotionally and mentally and physically mature.
  b. Prayer and much prayers are needed in making a right choice in marriage.
  c. If your notion or idea on marriage is coloured by sentiments of traditions, customs, ethnicities, races or colours, statures and heights, backgrounds, and other things that are immaterial or irrelevant; you may not fall in line with God's Will.
• Sentiments should be erased completely when choosing a marriage partner.

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

• Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' mighty name.
• Healing is your covenant right as a believer in Christ Jesus, therefore, I declare your healing now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
