LETTER TO SINGLES

Dear single lady & gentleman,

Your single season is such an advantage for you. It gives you the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others and the path others took to be successful before marriage. It is an opportunity for you to work on yourself and become the best you possible so you can give your best to your future spouse and family. It is an opportunity for you to freely go after the things of God. Spend your time with soul winning, sharing the gospel, developing the fruits of the spirit and other Christian activity that would make you a valuable asset to your family.

 Don't despise this advantage to prepare adequately for marriage. Don't be so bent on jumping into a relationship and getting married. Marriage can never go out of style; this very minute, people all over the world are saying some kind of vows. Be at peace and enjoy your single days; be glad that you still have the opportunity to do the right things before marriage.

Many in marriage lost that opportunity and are trying all they can now to make it work. Many are patching and stitching their marriages on a daily basis. In fact, many are wishing they were single again!!! Imagine that!!! That won't be your story! Thank God that all hope is not lost for them because God can still restore and rebuild.

However, nothing compares to getting it right from the beginning, which is the great chance you still have as long as you desire marriage. See your single days as preparation time; nothing beats preparation & preparation time is never wasted time! Use this season wisely; remember that you won't get it back and you wouldn't want it back either - if you prepare yourself well in all areas and FULLY rely on God's leading!

HUMILITY

Have you wondered why the humble ones are always use by God? Because God is a humble man. The humble nature of Jesus Christ reveals to us the mind of God.

 If we are to be vessels for God then we have to cultivate His nature of Humility. True humility does not produce pride but gratitude. Since God is our Creator and our redeemer, there is no bases for us to boost of our achievement.

You will realise that people always favour the humble presidential candidate, and lawyer, doctor, hair dresser, servant etc. God in His own wisdom always shows grace and honours the humble servant. 

Humility is a freedom from arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from God. The Greek philosophers and indeed modern technocrats despised humility because it implied inadequacy, lack of dignity, and worthlessness to them. But humility is the only way to the top.

Do you want a promotion, desire a husband or wife, grace, forgiveness, favour and even Salvation then learn humility.

Your degrees, family connection, bank account, status etc. cannot take you where God through humility can take you.

This is what God tells us about Humility:

Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

Philippians 2:3

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5:6

God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

1 Corinthians 1:28-29
