TO THE WIDOWS, MATURED SINGLES, SINGLE MOTHERS AND DIVORCED: Part 2.
In life, there are certain situations that comes at us frontally without asking for our permission. We prayed. We bound the devil. We fasted and we sowed many kind of seeds but yet; the situation remained the same.
God is still God. We are the sheep of his pasture and he loves us. Please note: to be widowed, to be a matured single; single mother or divorced is not a sickness or stigma; therefore, refuse to attend pity parties neither allow yourself to be categorized as a second class citizen.
Today, I want to show you 2 PITFALLS TO AVOID IF YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN THIS QUADRANT.
1: BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHES:
Some guys under the pretence of mentor, elder or religious leader are always targeting you. Never agitate nor be desperate. Be as wise as serpent and harmless as a dove. Read your bible carefully and run from any practice or divine intervention outside the word of God.
Someone who preached so well doesn't mean he lives well. The gift of the spirit is NOT the same as the fruit of the spirit. Because a prophet called your name or quoted your phone number doesn't mean he is morally sound.
Don't be gullible. I prefer to sit under a pastor with small anointing but solid reputation capital whose integrity is impeccable. When I stepped down from the pulpit in 2009; I came into Abuja for apostleship in the marketplace. My assignment took me from church to church. It took me 4 years to settle down at my local assembly today. Beware where you keep your head. All that glitters are not gold.
2: REFUSE PRESSURE FROM PARENTS AND LOVED ONES:
You must develop thick skin against people around you. Never throw caution to the wind. Never be careless. But listen to your heart and do what God will be proud of you about. Some people said you are too proud; that's the reason husband has not come.
Well, we should also not forget that some ladies who are humble are the ones suffering and dying silently under the canopy of marriage. By my observation, if you grew up as a girl Daddy and mummy loved and they made sure you lacked nothing. Or you are a girl who had no rich parent but you grew up defending yourself and your personal protocol. PEOPLE WILL CONCLUDE YOU ARE PROUD. Don't mind them!!
Marriage is an estate divinely created by God for a peaceful coexistence of two adults through mutual respect, care and unconditional love. But man has used religion, tradition and politics to twist it.
They will command the woman to SUBMIT to the husband as the Bible says but kept in silence that its only when the husband sowed the seed of love before he can reap the harvest of submission from the wife.
Refuse to bow to these pressure. One day I will write on 10 SIGNS OF A MAN WOMEN SHOULD NEVER MARRY. Those who bowed to pressure yesterday are the ones who had died of frustration, abandonment and all manner of emotional trauma. Those who escaped had their pound of flesh cut off.
Finally for today, some ladies would have not died if they kept to my two points today. You have not offended God as a widow, matured single, single parent or widowed. Nothing is wrong with you. Tell your advisers to go and advice themselves first. Talk is cheap. You are very pretty.
Flash your mind back into the album of your pleasant memories when your Dad used to carry you on his shoulder. Remember when Dad used to buy you ice cream and popcorn when he said all the good and positive words into your life.
Now someone from nowhere now says you are good-for-nothing. Its a lie. Its just a conspiracy from some people with problems of self esteem. Go to the cinema, buy a popcorn and watch a movie. Write yourself a card and give yourself a surprise and live your life.
happy reading
