Being One Before Becoming One...

"Whoso finds a wife, finds a good thing, AND obtains favor from the Lord." - Prov. 18:22


BEFORE WE'RE EVER MARRIED... We MUST BECOME THE COMPLIMENT TO WHAT WE SEEK, meaning this... MEN... We MUST BE HUSBANDS BEFORE we have the audacity to look for, seek or find a wife. Which means consecrating and immersing ourselves in God, BEING MADE MEN IN HIM & BY HIM; NOT MARRIED TO ANOTHER PERSON, BUT MARRIED TO CHRIST. Consider this... It is NOT our responsibility to provide, pay the bills, etc. because we're the husband. But IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY to provide, pay the bills, etc. BECAUSE WE'RE MEN. For it is written... "But if any provide not for his own, specially those of his own house hold, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." - 1 Tim. 5:8 (KJV)... AGAIN... "If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters]." - 1 Tim. 5:8 (AMP) Fellas, WE NEED TO MAN UP, AND GET IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, and TAKE BACK OUR DOMINION. THE CHURCH IS IN DIRE NEED OF STRONG MEN TO BE EXAMPLES FOR THESE YOUNG, AND 40, 50 & 60+ YEAR-OLD BOYS IN THE CLUBS & STREETS.


LADIES... You're not exempt, so don't get TOO excited by thinking this is a "get on the men" kind of message. Take heed before this Word "bursts your bubbles." Not forsaking however, that some of you are already virtuous women... Nevertheless likewise, you MUST also BE WIVES BEFORE you can, or will be found; NOT MARRIED TO ANOTHER PERSON, BUT MARRIED TO CHRIST... YOU WILL NOT FIND A HUSBAND IN THE CLUB, BECAUSE NO MAN IN HIS "RIGHT MIND" IS LOOKING FOR A WIFE IN THERE... Okay... Now that you've swallowed that pill... YOU WILL NOT FIND A HUSBAND IN THE CHURCH, IF YOUR PURPOSE and INTENT IN GOING IS TO CURE YOUR LONELINESS BY FINDING A HUSBAND.

Now this one takes some extra effort BY APPLYING WISDOM & PATIENCE... THERE ARE GOOD MEN IN CHURCH. However, just as there are some "SEDUCTIVE SISTERS," (some Jezebels, Delilahs, and Potiphar's wives etc.,) IN THE CHURCHTHROWING THEMSELVES AT MEN... THERE ARE ALSO SOME "HOT & BOTHERED BROTHERS," TRYING TO LAY HANDS ON YA...... ALL THE TIME. Therefore, it can be easy "GETTING" A MAN/HUSBAND AT CHURCH, BUT YOU MIGHT FIND A FOOL... If you noticed, there's a common, repetitive mistake in this process... The mistake is YOUR LOOKING...***STOP*** IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO DESIRE TO BE MARRIED, YET AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO NOT ALLOW GOD TO WORK IN YOU TO THE POINT WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T "NEED A HUSBAND," or "NEED TO BE MARRIED," BUT CONTENT WITH YOUR SINGLENESS IN CHRIST... "YOU WILL NOT FIND A HUSBAND"... AT ALL... For GOD PLACES US ON ONE ANOTHER'S PATHS. Personally, I don't feel a scripture's required to break that down... Just as He did in the beginning, just as He did with Ruth and Boaz, God's methods have proved to be the same. Even when He said, "Behold, I will do a new thing..." He went about it with the same methods... HIS WAY, NOT OURS... THE KEY IS TO KEEP HIM FIRST & FOREMOST IN ALL AREAS OF OUR LIVES, ENTERING HIS HOUSE TO FELLOWSHIP, PRAISE & WORSHIP HIM... And HE SHALL GIVE US THE DESIRES of our hearts. By now, most of us have succeeded in failure enough times to realize that IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ON OUR TERMS... Now... Let it go, move forward, and rest on His promises.



"Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord." - Psalm 27:14 (AMP)
