IMPORTANCE OF SINGLENESS ( Purpose redefined)
I remember the day before yesterday I said something that “singleness is an opportunity given to you by God to invest more on yourself. An opportunity given by God to invest more on your character, vision, purpose and knowledge, so that you can be a better parent that has good stuff to give his/her Children.”
This is a time where
purposes are realised, the time where destinies are corrected.. at this point you are in a position where you can see better
People don’t change after marriages, if they cannot be of good character when single, then they cannot be of good character when they are married.
And if at anytime you think that that guy is better because you are with him, you are lying to yourself, it’s just a long term pretence. Something will just happen some few years to come and you will wonder if he is the same guy/woman you used to know😂😂. It’s just that the character you will discover in him/her later was just a covered identity my sister. And he/she has been able to cover it long enough.
Don’t be nicer than the Holy Spirit bro😂😂😂
This is one of the things that God will help you discover when you are single👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
1: PURPOSE ( Why am I here,? what have I done so far,? what must I do?, Where am I going and Who will take me there?)
Consider the bolded letters👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
1: PURPOSE ( Why am I here?)
Let’s get our readings from the book of Jeremiah 1:5
This is a statement given to someone who was still unexperienced, God is revealing to him the reason He created him.
Jeremiah 1:5
[5]Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
If you read from verse, 2 upto three you are going to find that the same word came to Jeremiah, during two different seasons, and during the reigns of two different kings 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Jeremiah 1:2-3
[2]To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
[3]It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
That word never came to Jeremiah once, it came one time and repeated itself again after some years, and Jeremiah had to find a way to defend himself from the calling, saying “I’m still young”
If you consider the time taken between the first call and the second, you are going to realize that there was a time taken by Jeremiah to learn and for him to become fully consumed in the calling (PURPOSE),
Jeremiah didn’t respond immediately to the calling, he still took time to learn. And to realize himself in the calling.
After you have realized your purpose, there is still a time needed for you to realize yourself in the purpose
Realising your purpose is quite different from realising yourself in the purpose
If you fail to realize yourself better in the purpose, you are going to perform but below the required standards
Now let’s get all the way back to the scripture and let’s flow slowly from there
God is talking to Jeremiah, and He also talking to you tonight
That “before I formed (created) you in the womb, “I knew you”. And before you were born I sanctified (approved) you”
There was a place that you existed in God before He created you
And that is “you once existed in the mind of God, before He could create you”
You were once part of God, and you were there with God for a looong time enough. Until He now saw it pleasing that He should create you
If God is saying that “before He created you, He knew you”, you must have been in existence way back before your creation, and God knew you from there.
And now He can definitely come and say “before I created you I knew you”, He is right😊😊, He is right, 😊😊 He is right.
Before you were created, you once existed with God in God
And because He is a very well organized God, He could not just release you to unprepared environment, He prepared an environment for you and an assignment for you
And that assignment was set already so that when He is going to create you, He is going to release you to an assignment that is already made for you.
And that assignment is what we call “PURPOSE”
And after creating a purpose, then He created a conducive environment for you, so that your staying in the purpose is well provided with. Whatever you need for your fulfilment in the purpose was already provided by God even before you were created
Hear me child of God, I want you to understand this
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Everything that you need in this life, including that wife/husband is already provided in the purpose even before you were created for the purpose
God prepared environment for you already, He knew you and He knew what you were going to need, so He provided them way back before He could even create you.
And your way was made perfect before Him, and He was happy looking at everything He has set for you.
God, accurately organized the map of your life, even before you were created.
And this is what He means by this statement👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Tazama “nimekuchora” katika vitanga vya mikono yangu
Isaiah 49:16
[16]Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Your ways and maps are always with God, He knows where you should start and where you should end, where you should go and where you shouldn’t, what is good for you and what is not good for you, what you need and what you don’t need.
At least if you can listen to the one that has the map of your life, you shouldn’t have been finding yourself making unnecessary mistakes like finding yourself in a wrong position, Relationship or marriage. If only you could have understood this statement well.
And He continues saying
“…And before you were born I sanctified you”
So we have another thing “sanctification” being made specific for that purpose
You existing in God with God before He created you 👉🏻 God designing a suitable environment for you to sustain you 👉🏻 God forming you in the womb (creating you) 👉🏻 God sanctifying you for the purpose ( God releasing you to a purpose)
