Courtship, Love & Marriage Series:
We now live in times where things are now instant, from instant coffee to a drive through meal. We no longer have the time or the patience to wait upon GOD anymore. Some believe that GOD takes too long and instead of waiting upon the lord, they rather surf the internet or do speed dating to find a life partner.
The enemy came to deceive many and many are being deceived into falls partnerships, which end up very badly. Most magistrate courts are now filled with applications of couples waiting to stand before a judge of the court to get their marriages to be nullified. Some of their reasons vary from “He’s not the man that I have met before or after she got promoted, she’s now the head of my household.” We can argue until dawn on whose fault it is, but the truth is GOD was not the foundation or there was no proper pre marital counseling.
When you’re going into a relationship or searching for a life partner, let it be with someone who has the strength of GOD backing him. You will clearly see by how they handle hardships around them, if truly they are grounded in GOD. This is the reason why having relationship with half baked Christian can never work in a marriage. A carnal Christian will always manifest his carnality i.e. there is not root in them. Math 13:5-6 mention such Christians as ones who heard the word but, the sun scorched it because it does not have much root in the word of GOD.
If you should go into a relationship with a man or woman, that each time someone hurts him/her in the church, they will stop coming to church, the day you are in bad terms with them, they will also decide to call it quits in your marriage. To have a fruitful marriage, you need a strong or a person hungry for GOD. GOD never gave birth to timid children, Joshua 1:6 was GOD command for his children: “Be strong and of good courage…”
