Dedicated to everyone who prays and is in need of a spouse...
Happy new month to
us all. May God show up for us in mighty ways this month in Jesus name. I’m
sooo excited at this new month and set for what God is about to do. This
morning, I was about to put up another blogpost when this topic entered my
heart and I’ll like to address it.
Prayer is a beautiful
thing. It is an avenue to communicate with God and receive what we need from
him. It is an avenue to change situations and release God’s power to change
lives. As empowering as this sounds, it is not an avenue to manipulate people,
especially when it comes to the matters of love.
No matter how you
fast and pray that God should give you a particular man or woman as husband or
wife, he will only answer that prayer in line with his will. Even if you go on
a forty-day fast, God will NEVER give you someone who is not his will for you
as a spouse. Persisting in praying that God should give you a particular person
as a spouse is equal to witchcraft. Yes! What you’re doing is trying to twist
God’s arm via your prayers and manipulate him into going outside his will. Unfortunately,
you cannot get God to act outside his will, especially in relationship matters.
Abi na babalawo (witch doctor) Christian you don turn to? You will end up
wasting your prayers and spiritual energy without results. No matter how many
times Balaam attempted to curse Israel as prompted by Balak, it was a waste of
time because it was not God’s will. Instead of wasting your prayers and praying
amiss, here’s what you should do.
- Tell God about your desire to have that person as a spouse.
- Ask God to give you the person if it is his will.
- Pray that if the person is not God’s will for you, God should give you the man/woman that best suits you.
- Ask God to give you the grace to accept his answer graciously.
- Ask him to open your eyes/heart to discern who he has for you and the grace to receive the person he has for you.
When you pray in
this manner, incase the person you’re asking for is not God’s will, he will
move to give you whoever suits you best and thereby, you won’t be praying
amiss.
No be by decreeing
If you think you
are a prayer warrior and one who decrees things to happen and they do, this is
one area where the counsel of God alone will prevail, not just what you decree.
So if you’re busy decreeing and declaring that so so person is your spouse, it is
one prayer God will only grant according to his will and not just in line
with your decrees. For your information, that person you’re asking God to give
you as a spouse, there are others wishing, desiring, praying and even fasting
that God should give them the person too. So, who is God going to answer??? I
speak not with a sense of judgment or displeasure but as a sister who wants to
see you get it right and not miss it in the place of your prayers.
Keep it in
mind that if God ever refuses to allow you have someone as a spouse it is
because he has seen the end from the beginning and he knows that you are not suitable
for each other, no matter how good he/she seems to be on the outside. It’s not
about he/she being a good or wonderful person, it’s not about he/she having all
the qualities you desire, it’s about he/she being THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU and
a SUITABLE HELPER for you. They may be good, yes, but not right for you. God is
wiser than you are and wants the best for you always. Learn to trust his judgments
and his answers to your prayers. Be open to receive whoever he has for you and
you will never miss it in Jesus name.
Have a blessed month. xoxo
