Relationships: finding the right person

It is no longer strange to hear of break ups or divorce in our generation. Some Hollywood stars have more than you can count with your fingers. In this part of the world (Nigeria), a divorce or break up seemed like a taboo until recent years that it has become near normal. The effect it leaves isn't usually palatable for one or both parties involved. In cases where relatives, friends or children have become part of the relationship then the ripple effect extends further. This presents a reason to share this secret of how to find the right person. The right person to many have attributes as tall, dark, handsome, cute, sexy, pretty, hot, busty, well built and MONEY(a constant). As well thought out as this is, it will be faulty if inner qualities aren't a major preference.

The right person for you should be someone that you can confidently say has been specially prepared for you by God. The person will complete you; complement you and improve you. Your union with the person will move you closer to fulfilling your purpose in life as you represent same in the person's life. This doesn't exclude both of you from committing your efforts to keep the fire burning.

 If you will have "this" right person then you must be ready to follow this one principle- trust God to help you through it. Its a principle we see in Matthew6:25-34 which when summed up says 'seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness...all these things will be added unto you'-v33. It means pursue, follow intently, be passionate, be aligned to the life, ways and purpose of God's kingdom and He will attend to your needs. It can be simply expressed as "mind God's business and He will mind your business". It is about resting in God and acknowledging that you can't do it by yourself or by your standards. Trusting Him to bring someone He has(or will) prepare for you while He's preparing you too as you submit to His Lordship. The confidence you need to have is that "your father in heaven knows you need these things"-v32. God is aware that you need a companion that will complement and help you achieve His purpose for you. So you can trust Him totally.

I understand this may be difficult because of different pressures, challenges and your personal detailed preference(s) but I implore you to surrender on the fact that you are limited in your knowledge of person(s), the future and control over both. God sees all things, knows all things(and persons) and can do all things. If you will trust God I'm sure He will orchestrate the meeting with that person He has prepared to walk with you through life's journey. The meeting and awareness(of the person) will happen at the right time. I pray you are strengthened in your inner man to stay trusted in Him as you are being built up as you passionately seek Him.

 Dear friend, God never fails. He can be trusted all the way. Turn your standards, searchlights, lists, ways and passions to Him in the search for the right person for you. Say a sincere prayer to Him about this. Let go and Let God, He never fails.

Do have a great season.

Grace - Eternal &

"Grace that saved a wretch like me.."..so amazing. A significant thing about God's grace that remains amazing is the eternal effect it has had on every believer and that includes you and me. The effect of grace outnumbers any physical effect no matter how glorious it may be. I would like us to take a cue from the book of Hebrews, chapter 12 from verse 18 to 24. It states disparities between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion, that is Law and Grace respectively. Then in verse 21 it says 'Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, “I am terrified and trembling.”'(NLT) The Law came with a strong statement that left even the bearer (Moses) trembling. All that the law offered was physical, filled with indignation and fear to its observers.

 It is worthy of note that the law brought death to 3,000 people after it was enacted. On the other hand, GRACE came with life and 3,000 people were saved on the day of Pentecost after it was enacted through the Holy Spirit. All that Grace offers at Mount Zion is spiritual and eternal. The effect is uncommon and the platform brings comfort that shows mercy. Verse 24 of Hebrews 12 says "You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel." (NLT)
Grace has left us eternally bettered and it is hinged on forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ.

 All that grace has done has spiritual and eternal effects.

No matter what your present situation is saying in the physical, in the realm of the spirit you have been brought to a place of uncommon feat with God: "..You have come to God himself.."(verse 23).

Plug into the amazing Grace of God that is beyond the physical realm and transcends into the heavens where Christ is seated in God.
