The man I wanted to get married to

Labels:

I was once called a religious fanatic, too saved, too uptight, and the list goes on. Somebody even told me I was looking for an angel when I answered  a question I was asked more than a year ago about the man I wanted to get married to. Let’s back it up a little… I met a man of God a couple of years ago and I bless God for Him because He made me understand something to do with marriage. I say this because there are some things you only realize when you live with your husband or wife... not before. Just to give you a clear picture of what I am talking about, here is a description of my future husband.

He has to be saved. The reason? We must share the same spirit and be heirs of the same kingdom (heaven). Also, the word of God tells me not to be unequally yoked. There is also something about a man who prays. This is because a husband is the spiritual authority/head of the wife and the house. He sets a certain spiritual order in the house and also serves as the wife’s spiritual cover in prayer. This is his God-given order and responsibility as a husband.

I have to be attracted to him physically. The reason? When God created us, he made us three in one just like Him, only that for us it is soul, spirit, and body, while for Him it is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if the guy is saved, we are connected spiritually, so our soul and bodies need to come to a point of connection as well. If I am attracted to him physically, then I will have no problem sharing a bed with him because the Word of God says that in marriage, my body is not my own anymore; it is my husband’s and his is mine, hence our flesh coming together to become one.

For my soul, this is where my mind is, my intellect, it is where I live, so it means we need to be in a position where we love being around each other and not tolerating each other. Apart from being my husband, he can be my friend as well, my confidant, my partner, someone who can stand by my side through it all, someone I will fight with but still can’t bear the thought of losing. Time may get hard, but I still want us to celebrate our anniversaries, and if for no other reason, celebrating me not killing you last year would do for me.

A man who prays means he is in constant communication with God, and therefore, if he is in a relationship with God, then he will definitely know how to love me because he is subject to God and I am subject to him. I will support him in his vision and dreams, just as I know he would support me in mine. We would work together to make our marriage work and to make a home for our children, because the Bible says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and gets favor from the Lord." I want to be his good thing, and to bring him that favor which is from the Lord.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
