Singlehood is a season deliberately designed by God since the creation of human being. In the beginning, God had it in mind to create Eve, but He wanted to demonstrate the procedure to man. God works by Principles and Rules, He works with Guidelines. And His plan was, Man should know and love Him first before loving another thing or person.
God intentionally created Adam before He made Him a wife, He wanted to demonstrate for us the essence of Singlehood, therefore when Adam was single, he was closely intimated with God. There was a kind of unbroken relationship, a Communion between Adam and Eve, him and God would talk and discuss just like friends. He was found of God and God too was found of Him, they were so in love with each other. It was God and Adam alone.
He was lost in Loving God that He did not even know if he needed to get marry, but God knew His needs. And after God saw that, this single man Adam was fully established in His love, He gave him assignments to do in the garden (Purpose)and lastly gave Him a wife. Genesis 1&2
First thing First is the Principle of God. You can not say you would start a relationship with God after your marriage,it will not work, it does not match with the plan of God, God wants us to first stand our feets in His love, and when we are established, He takes us to the next stage. Infact the next stage was not even marriage, the next stage after been established in the love God is finding your purpose in Life.
This short period Season of human Life is the bases for the long term Seasons. The plan of God is that, a man should seek Him first, not only seek, but know Him and establish a strong love relationship with Him. "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth..." (Ecclesiastes 12 vs 1a). This Bible portion is showing that, the appropriate time to remember, seek, know and love God undilutedly is the Singlehood Season, When it is you and God. Know this, the foundation of your life in the Singlehood Season can not be made strong elsewhere except in the presence of God.
My dear Singles, if you are going to follow the plans of God for your life wholesomely, it starts from your singlehood, His plan for you then is to seek Him, give yourself away to Him,His will, Love and Purpose.
Singlehood Season is not the season to be frivolous about life, it is a season to Know God intimately. Find your way to His Presence if you are not there yet, it favours you most. Though, you might not be able to see God face to face like the first man Adam, but you have the grace to move closer to Him through the Holy Spirit. Through fellowship with the Holy Spirit, personal Bible Study and Prayers you can be intimately jointed and closed to God.
Uhmmmm!
