THE RIGHT PARTNER
(A story that will impact your life)
Once upon a time, there was a brother called Lema, who was well known in the town due to his level of commitment among the youths of that community and towards the development of the town. More so, he was tall, handsome and hardworking brother. As a result of this, people always listened to him and he was highly respected in the community.Brother Lema used to go to church on Sundays and do attended weekly activities. He was a religious brother, but not well rooted in the word of God. In a nutshell, he was a religious man.
At last, Brother Lema gained admission into tertiary institution. Getting to final year, he was thinking of how is marital life is going to be. One day, he was looking at the ladies passing by in the campus where he sat down. He was bittered in his heart to see how ladies were dressing and messing up their lives. Suddenly, he rose up and determined in his heart to marry a believer, knowing fully well that believers are decent and virtuous women, who other women in the society will like to emulate in every areas.
Brother Lema started working on it by searching for a serious Christian sister that will be fit to be his wife. He tried his possible best in his town but couldn’t find a sister that is up to his taste. He intensified his efforts by going to neighbouring towns in searching for a life partner, but all to no avail.
Question: Why did brother Lema was unable to get a serious Christian sister? It is just because he failed to take the right steps.
What are the right steps?
He failed to build up himself, that is, he is not a devoted Christian brother while looking for a well grown Christian sister.
He never knew that choosing a right partner needs prayer.
He thought he can set standard for himself without allowing God’s will to prevail.
Are you not like Brother Lema my brothers and sisters? Marriage is a life time contract that shouldn’t be taken with levity hand. Only God can lead you right in choosing a life partner.
My question for our brothers and sisters today is this:
Is your life well rooted in Christ? You can take the right steps now and expect a greater tomorrow. (1 Peter 2:2)
Take this prayer with me:
My Creator, I come to You today with sincere heart for genuine repentance, help me to be rooted in Your word and to live right with You in Jesus Name. Amen.
