Prov. 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but
the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
When do you know that you have found your mate? The first issue is,
what does God say about this person? This is why it's so important to
stay sexually pure and Spiritually minded before you begin to date a
person. If you nurture your relationship with God beforehand, then you
will be able to hear him about the person you are interested in. If you
are involved with this person sexually, then you will not know whether
they are from God or the devil because you have already become ONE with
them. I know many preachers and pastors say that there is no match made
in heaven, but that is a lie! I would not want any mate that wasn't
design by God for me. Why would God custom build Eve for Adam and not
make a mate for you? The bible says in ALL thy ways acknowledge him and
he WILL direct your path. It does not exclude marriage from that, but
he said in ALL thy ways! There is no scripture to back up that "no
match made in heaven" slogan because God desires to lead and guide us
in EVERY area of our lives. And how in the world could we use our minds
to choose a life long spouse? I believe this is why divorce is so
prevalent among believers now. We are choosing based on chance and luck
or our feelings and lust instead of hearing what God says about it. I
am convinced that God will not let a "Good Man" find a bad wife if he
is living right before him. And I am convinced that a "Good Wife" will
not be subject to chance when she marries because God has custom made
her for someone. God is more detailed than that and there is a person
that is created to match you! That's how big I feel God is and you
cannot tell me that he allows us to blindly enter into a relationship
with the wrong person! God says he delights in giving "good things" to
his children, so if you ask for a perfect match will he not give that
you? Of course no one is perfect, but they can be "perfect" for you!
The most important thing before marrying anyone is to make sure you
are secure in who you are. You must find your purpose in God and your
place in the Kingdom of God to be a good candidate for marriage. If you
have not tapped into your God given potential prior to a marital
commitment, then you may suffer turmoil in your relationship trying to
find yourself while you take care of your mate. That is what Paul was
saying to the church at Corinth. 1Cor. 7:8 Marriage is a good thing,
but if you can wait until you mature as a saint of God, it would be
better. Men, you cannot be a good husband if you don't know who you
are! Women, you cannot be a help meet if you cannot even help yourself!
This is another reason why it's so dangerous to play sexual and
emotional games while dating. If you get too close, you will be blinded
by lust and attraction and you will not be able to hear what God is
saying. This person may be the devil in disguise. How can we see the
future? We cannot! We must rely totally on God and God will be faithful
to speak to us if we know how to hear him. But if we aren't secure in
ourselves then we will jump at the first thing that makes us feel
better about who we are. And my friend, that's God's position! Until
you get to the point where God can make you feel good about who he made
you to be, you should not even consider marrying. People like to
have fun with the opposite sex and date haphazardly, but that's a
dangerous game. If you dance close to the fire, you will get burned.
Your destiny and purpose can be tragically hindered by hooking up with
the wrong person. So, my single believers, learn the voice of God
before you become subject to the voice of a bad choice.
