LOADED WITH BENEFITS
It is January 2015, the start of a new year, that time of the year when the mouth speaks of hope, but the heart seems exasperated. For most older singles, every molecule of faith left within them had been used up in the past years believing that something would/should happen but never did. For some who are younger, the pressure of friends marrying all around them is fast becoming too hard to bear, all wants to have a date announced as soon as possible.
The truth is, there are lots of men out there to date, the whole essence of waiting on God and getting it right is to ensure the choice that is made is worth the entire life time to be spent together. Otherwise, anybody can walk up the aisle with just anybody else and they can be married. But for those whose lives have been committed unto Christ the Lord, it is different. It has to be a choice wholly and acceptable unto the Lord, not just anybody.
It is natural to be weary after what has become a very long wait. It initially seemed like it won't be long but alas what we thought would be months has turned to years and hope of a breakthrough for some may have even begun to fade.
Let me tell you three reasons why you can continue to trust in the Lord and keep on waiting patiently on Him for the fulfilment of His promise that you will not lack your mate:
1. God cannot lie - Heb. 6:18
2. God keeps His promises - Heb. 8:6
3. God never disappoints - Rom.5:5-6
God did not lie when He promised to strengthen us as we wait on Him. He will keep His promise to grant us our heart desires according to the perfect working of His will. He said those who trust in Him will not be put to shame.
We knew (as previously shared) of a beautiful lady in 2014 who got married for the first time ever at the age of 48. God keeps His word that He'll never leave us nor forsake us.
Beloved, I encourage you by those three reasons above to approach 2015 with boldness and renewed hope in the Lord Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth, the maker of your soul that He will do good to you and make you a reference point for His wonder working power.
Step out in style and confuse those who think you have nothing to show for your life that you have a mighty God backing you up. Your birthing time is near, do not give up. Keep pushing on in faith and wait for the 'suddenly' effect when he who shall come for you shall tick all the right boxes.
To enslave yourself under just any man with the hope that he'll redeem you from this status into marriage is like casting your pearls before the pigs. Pigs never , ever know the value of pearls.
You are God's precious treasure, HE has a plan and this plan has a set time. Wait, wait still and follow HIM as He unfolds His beautiful plans for you in the days ahead.
"....Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit...."
(Rom. 15:13)
