Calling all couples and singles!


“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12

How many times have you fallen down in life and you found it difficult to get back on your feet? The reason for this many times was because there was no one to offer the help you needed, be it physical, emotional or even spiritual support.

Being single and wanting to get married so much is not a negative thing - if it is done with faith and wisdom. However there are people who “fall” in love and, instead of finding the one who will lift them up, keep them warm, help them withstand overpowering problems, their reward for their frustration and anxiousness is marriage to a constant life-long migraine.

If a couple are happily married, of course they will be in a better position than the one who is single – but when problems arise, how will they deal with news that one of them has a sickness? What happens when there is a death in the family or one of them has lost their job and there is a strain on the finances? Who will they then turn to for support in such a crisis when the ‘experts’ fail.

This is where the threefold cord is crucial in ANY marriage. It does not just consist of two people; husband and wife, but a third person; JESUS CHRIST. He is the other strand in the threefold cord that completes the trinity within a successful, fulfilled and happy marriage.

The third cord should not start life in a marriage when the couple are pronounced ‘husband and wife.’ Jesus needs to be present in the individual who has given up the ownership of their life and will rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them on questions such as: Do I pray for my love life though I’m still hurting from my past relationships? Is it right to date a non-Christian? Should I accept whom my family choose for me to marry?

If you include God, showing you His way to these and other questions you have as a single person, then He will guide you to the right person who will also have Jesus as their first love in their life. Both will have God first above all things, so how do you think that marriage will be? Husband, wife and the Holy Spirit guiding them both, as the Ultimate Head.

That’s why we will be giving a threefold cord to all those who will be attending this NEW Love Purpose starting on 6th August. It is for both singles and couples who want to have Jesus Christ as the Ultimate Head in their life, or marriage respectively.

This threefold cord will serve as a reminder of the importance of putting Jesus first before all your disappointments, hurts, loneliness—and even your partner.

Each week in this Chain of Prayer, one of ‘The 7 Virtues for a Successful Relationship’ will be revealed to you.


The Holy Spirit will prepare you for success in your love life.
