In a bit to understand why there are many young ladies in their late twenties and early thirties in the church that are not married, I uncovered this deep secrete that might be of interest to you.
Age they say is just a number but many tend to forget that numbers in age are sequential parameters used in measuring between a man's birthday to his dying day.
The scripture according to Revelation 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time", even the devil knows that he has but a short time.
What keeps me worried is the fact that humans that just came into existence don't know this fact about timing but tend to joke and play around with it until it turns and plays on them.
In a discussion with an aggrieved fellow whose, supposed fiancee turned love into a game of chess. I realized how many youths miss destiny.
From my little experience of who and what the female gender are and can detonate in their early twenties, I tend to wear a maturity when such matters are raised for discussion.
"She is very rude and not appreciative, the most painful part is how she thinks that she deserves all I do for her"
My young friend laments his worst nightmares.
The fellow disclosed how troubling and kind of immature (please pardon my diction) the lady has been.
Being fused with a certain belief already, one of us, if not I, interjects and asked
"How old is this young damsel of yours sir? Is she within the age bracket of twenty-two to twenty-four?"
He responded positively,
And she's still in the university?
He affirms.
A conclusion that I still need your opinions to keep was drawn.
He then said, only 5% of young girls within that age bracket are serious about relationships that tend to drive them into a happy marriage.
He further posits that young girls, especially those in the church want to explore and so, if any serious young man journeys their way, he should be ready for damaging heartbreak that can be likened to apostle Pauls's assertion of dying daily.
My question to you is, how true can this be?
Though I have encountered a few in my life journey that tend to pull me to the supportive side. I still want to know more before concluding that young Christian ladies prefer to wander around, looking for what might not be missing, and finally get serious at age 29 to 30, attending all manner of church programs for singles and gopping from one church to another looking for spiritual men to deliver them from spiritual husbands.
A popular Christian marriage counselor once gave this analogy, he said "Many go to the well and find Rebecca but still want to stay a little while for another to show up so they can compare".
Beloved, this goes for the ladies also, after finding and knowing that this is my Adam, they will want to keep their gaze on the pathway to see if another Adam would pass by.
A lady once said to me, " Paul, I am 30, and my husband is not forthcoming, I can't believe I will end this year without a man in my life"
I look at her and what she does to well-meaning young men who tow her path just flashed into my mind.
Beloved, Apart from the question above, I want to sincerely advise that you take your life seriously, there is no time for anyone to play the waste game. Make hay while the sunshine. Take what you have and transform it into what you want. Or better still pray ceaselessly to your maker before taking shaming decisions.
It pains me a lot to see numerous Christian relationships break and later have one party stand in regret.
Beloved, what you need is not the exploring that you seek, there is nothing in the world to explore, the only realm where you can get more than enough if you launch out to explore is the realm of God.
Wait for the second part of this piece as I will be sharing some experiences of a few believers with us.
What you need is Jesus, an abundance of him, and his principles.
Cry and yearn to have him beloved, He is the only one that can quench your desires for the things your mind keeps suggesting.
Turn to him now beloved, and cry a cry of help, tell him to help you before it's too late.
Now if you're not born again, you should pray with me, say, "Lord Jesus, I am a sinner in need of help, please come into my life and make me a new person, I accept you today and decide to follow you, help me lord to live for you in Jesus Holy name, Amen.
Congratulations beloved, welcome to God's family, please don't stop here, locate a Bible-believing Church near you and get committed to the service of God as you grow in God's love.
God bless and keep you.
