Let God guide you

Let God guide you.


“But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.”
Genesis 24:24

Today, I will like to speak to all my single brothers and sisters, especially those of you who are planning to get married. I will like to start by asking you this question: “Who determines your choice of a spouse?” Your sincere answer to this question reveals the anchor from where you make your decisions.

In case you have decided to get married this year, if you are a lady, “Is it really God or the material possessions of the man: his cars and houses that determine your decision?” If you are a man, “Is it really God or the outward beauty of the woman: her face, hips and fingertips that determine your decision?”

Do not be deceived by outward things; let God guide you. The package may attract you, but it is only the content that will keep you. There are many who have anchored their decision to marry an individual because of the packaging. After the marriage, they opened the package and discovered that it was not what they wanted, but it was too late because they were already married.

There is the story of a lady who was deceived by a guy who always bragged about what he had; meanwhile he actually had nothing. The lady finally married him because of his illusionary wealth, and found out he had nothing. It was too late for her to turn back because she was already married to him.

The bottom line is this: let God guide you, not money, possessions, beauty, lust for pleasure, greed, etc. Be sure of one thing, when God guides you, every other good thing that you desire will be added to it. Trust his judgment.

Doing the Word:
If you are a single, I encourage you to recommit yourself, spirit, soul and body to God. Trust God's judgment for you and do not compromise your chastity.
