Genesis 1:26- "Let US make man in Our image, after Our likeness." Genesis 2:7- And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Singleness vs. Marriage is an ongoing discussion; in the world, in society, and especially in the church. Many Christians struggle with the definition of singleness and the identity of singleness, in a world that often views singleness as a low status, and also in a society that has begun to recreate the purpose of marriage and singleness; to cohabitation and loneliness. The problem I have with it isn't society's view or even the Church's view, but my brother is the Child of God's view of singleness and then their view of getting marriage and being married.
I'm presenting to you the TOP THREE REASONS I believe I'm Single and hopefully you will discover the reasons you are still single or the reason you need to discover your singleness.
The top reason I'm still single is this: I've cheated on my spiritual relationship with the Lord with physical relationships with women! I'm not trying to sound super spiritual, but the truth shall set us free. Having sex outside of marriage is not in God's will and it only stands to solidify your position outside of the will of God. I've come to realize that our relationship with God will spill over into our relationship with a woman or with a man. Our relationship with God spills over into our friendships as well. If you are cheating on God with your bodies and making love with someone who isn't your husband and wife; you are separated from God, and your relationships will be that of separation and confusion. You wonder why you can't make it to the ALTAR? You can't stand before God's presence with the presence of SIN on you. If I was wondering why I'm still single, maybe I need to stop cheating on God.
The second reason I believe I'm still single is a poor perception on how to move from singleness to marriage. The thought belief is that you are ingrained with the ability to just know how to select a mate, date her, and then marry her when the time is right and the money is right. On the baseline there is only this perception that you date and you try to give you're best and then you get your reward of marriage. No one can really give a clear, definitive explanation on what courtship is, how to move from dating to engagement, and then from engagement to marriage. I'm still single because I really don't have a clear picture or I didn't...
The third and final reason I believe I'm still single is that I haven't spoke it into my life. God has given me the gift, He has given me the promise that I can have whatever my heart desires, and God has design it for me to possess the land. I believe that if I trust God and I believe that He will give me what I'm praying for I can have it. The timing is now and if I trust God at His word, I can have it.
