Whenever I question people and ask what type of Marriage Partner do you want, now this is a question I ask both believers, and unbeliever; I hear almost the same answer and guess the answer? 'I want a man/woman that loves and fears God'.
Some even tell me some qualities like, he/she must be fervent for God, must be this and must be that. Surprisingly, even unbelievers want Godly partners *smiles*. It is not bad to desire such knowing fully well that only God in your spouse will make a Good Marriage, good marriage I wrote or stated and not good wedding, take note.
Everyone desires a fire brand, good person, the question is are you such? Let me quickly set a scenario, where we have a burning fire, burning very well. Fire fighters use water or other solvents which will kill the fire in no time. Therefore, if you want a fire brand and you are not, you are the water that will kill the fire; so fire-brand partners should beware of fire extinguishers!
You have to settle your relationship with God first like I do say and then He will settle your marriage. God does not give one of His own to just anybody. The first thing a man needs is not a woman, it is God.
Adam knew God before Eve so why is our men today wanting a woman first before God (especially thinking she will lead him to God)? That is wrong, it was Adam and God from Gen.1:27 through to when He (God) saw the need for a woman in Gen.2:21.
He made the man ready for a woman, communion with Him, a shelter which is the garden, food, health insurance and so on and then He brought out the woman in him. Let God comes first, He will prepare you for your jewel.
A woman need to place her heart into God's hands first and He will place it into the hand of the right man! Esther was right with God and she was favoured to be a queen. Before you can become a wise woman in Prov. 14:1, you must have firstly been a Prov. 31:30 woman who fears God. You can only fear God when you have communion with him in His words, prayer and personal walk with Him.
I'm encouraging you today, stop looking for a fire-brand, Godly man or woman and be the same and then you will attract your type by His grace. Be in God before being in love!
Confession: I shall love God
Prayer: Say Father, help me to seek You, serve You and walk with You with all my heart. Amen.
