When it comes to a person’s love life, I have noticed there are two types of people in the church –
The revolted (people who’ve had enough) and the complacent (people who like the idea of being blessed but are not willing to do anything about it). Let’s look at both types based on what I have witnessed.
The revolted person has recognised that their love life needs to exist or that their past was filled with one failed relationship after another. They have been beaten around, rejected, feel low—with no reason to believe that their love life can ever change, that is, until the day they hear a word to the contrary and so they to step out of their ‘den’ and ‘stronghold’ they made in their mind.
They start attending meetings for deliverance, seek the Holy Spirit and are faithful in their Chains of Prayer for the love life. Once one chain is completed, they continue another, not worried about time. They are concerned about getting right on the inside.
Some have already drunk from the water that the woman, who met Jesus by the well (John 4:1-26), was missing, as they are now married, having waited for the right time to be matched–by the Holy Spirit.
Others are continuing to persevere knowing that as they persist, like the widow did with the unjust judge (Luke 18:1-8), they will be answered; even if it means sacrificing for it. They are prepared for it–All or nothing!
Then we have the complacent person who either goes through the same thing as the revolted person or is someone who has had no serious relationships to speak about. They promise to attend the ‘Love Therapy’ meetings, read these messages, tune in to ‘Partners4life’ or the radio programmes, even ask others how the meetings went.
Some are even waiting for a match made by the church leadership just because they heard someone else was matched in that way. However, the problem with this type of person is that they fail to see things will not budge unless they revolt; they ‘step out.’
Don’t think you are attracting God’s attention by doing the same old thing. God will not send Prince/Princess Charming to you!
You need to run out of the stronghold that is called ‘doubt’ and ‘unbelief.’ You need to follow your own faith and not feel comfortable knowing there are others outside or even in the church who are just like you. If not, you will be heading down to the water to drink from the spring, as the 9,700 men did but will still be thirsty, in your love life.
You may even attend the Love Therapy but if you are not revolted, you will not join the elite group of 300 – people who sacrificed twice on the altar and ended up happily married. The first was in the Campaign of Gideon (or any Campaign) and the second was giving up their single life to be given away,
Where?
On the altar – to their husband or wife-to-be.
