A couple dated for 10 years before getting married anonymous Listen to this guys, before you start using that to build your own marriage reality make sure you find out why they were waiting, get the complete truth because some won't open up to you with the real reason. Most times you will find out that the reason why they waited that long is something God has already given you the capacity to handle in lesser time. Let's say it is because of unstable finances. They waited because they had no good capital for a wedding or no steady income, or they wanted to build a house first and buy a car etc. As a believer You just know that such people walked with little faith, they waited for something they had the capacity to pray and work into by faith in Christ Jesus. I don't know if someone is catching this? They waited because they were realist, and not FAITHIST. they calculated their present and future based on physical natural statistics, which they are very correct, there is not enough money, the salary isnt good enough, income is unstable, we are still living in a face me I face you house, we need a bigger house before we get engaged. All these realities are true, very true, the physical statistics are always correct, you see the things that are as THEY REALY ARE. But that is a faithless journey, that is trying to use labour to get what FAVOUR CAN PROVIDE with little time. Oh please somebody catch this quickly. It is so easy to comprehend yet very deep. Before listening to how somebody dated for 10 years before marriage find out their why? Some of those reasons are faithless reasons. Some just decide to wait because they have no faith to take a LEAP! Their calculator is set to the physical not on the spiritual. Most times as a believer when you get to know their reason for waiting you will just smile and know that your own cannot take 10 years to get what they were waiting for? You are not that faithless, FAVOUR will do for you what they depended on labour to do. You cannot take 10 years to get a steady income or a house, you are a child of faith, you will take a LEAP because He said He has already provided all our needs according to His riches in glory. Oh hallelujah, feels like I am preaching real good today. Be careful the kind of reports or confessions you listen to and accept as your own reality. We won't take 10 years to understand each other because we carry the wisdom of Christ Jesus that fuels our understanding. We won't take 10 years to get a good house because we have a leaping faith! If the reason why they waited is because uncle was looking for a job first and after that he needed to work for another 4 years to save up for the wedding our own case won't be the same, our case is different, we walk in a new dawn, all we need is to faith it, all God needs is to make one phone call and what they waited to get in 10 years I can get in 10 seconds. I am a FAITHIST! Oh thank you Lord Jesus. Before believing other people's sad stories please take the time to find out the reason why it is so. It's very important. Some of those things do not apply to you because you operate on a dimension different from them. So when you just take their story as your own reality you trump your own journey. Some wait that long to get a confirmation FROM God. 10years? What is God taking that long to confirm? Is it the return of MMM? Some wait that long because they are struggling to gain their family's approval. listen, if you are struggling to gain the love and approval of both families and it is taking this long i need you to do me a favour. Start a 7days fast together. Pray like an Elijah praying for rain. Your prayer point shouldn't be 'Lord we want to marry, destroy all our enemies, die by fire, die die die!'. Let your prayer point be that of submission of WILL to God , ask the Lord to open your eyes to the things that love has blinded you to. Ask Him to reveal if that marriage is His plans for you or the plans you want for yourselves. Get your pastors involved in your prayers if you can. Just pray it through, don't fight your people, it is not about them, it is about you. When you carry the seal of Christ God will go before you and break every resistance you might face, He will cause people to love and favour you even before your intentions are known. So pray it through, okay. If you need me to pray with you over this pls send me a message, bestie and I will talk with God for you. See, God hates stagnation, and He will puĺl down anything standing in the way of His move. The right prayer perspective should be "Lord, is this your move, or ours?". Now back to what I was teaching. Some testimonies do not apply to you. Some are taking the long suffering journey because they are not on that level where they can see things that are as though they are not. They dated for 10 years and now they are married with 2 children. Good testimony, God bless them for waiting that long for their reality to make sense, and I wish them a happy marriage. But I don't need that long, i can get whatever they waited for in little time. I pray for anyone reading this today, favour will begin to do for you what everyone is depending on labour to do. In the beautiful name of Jesus. Amen.
