Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Sunday December 27, 2015 daily devotional – Be the Kind

Topic: Be the Kind [Sunday 27 December, 2015]

“…For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”-Luke 6:38

In a singles gathering, among other questions, people were asked what kind of spouse they would want to be married to. Majority said they would want a good fearing, spiritual, purpose driven and hardworking spouse. While all of these attributes are wonderful to look out for, have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you are what you look out for.

Many people think that the success of their marriage is upon getting married to Mr/Mrs. Right. However, much more than that is the fact that family success is based on being the right person. If you seek to be married to a highly spiritual person, then you must also be highly spiritual. Like would always beget like; so the kind of person you are, determine the kind of person you would be attracted to. No serious minded believer would want to go into a relationship with an unserious Christian.

More so, it would amount to a waste of effort to keep praying and fasting for a God-fearing partner when you are unserious with God. Make your ways right with Him and fashion yourself after the manner of that character you desire in a life partner. For instance, if a single lady desires to be married to a pastor, then she must become a “pastor’s wife material.” Also, if a man desperately desire to be married to a virgin, then he should ask himself if he is also a virgin.

Being single is the best time to work on yourself. Prepare your mind, spirit and body for the future you desire. Marriage much more demands that you be responsible, not just look for who would be responsible for you. Successful marriages are product of individuals who have prepared themselves for the future they want. Therefore, from today, be more of that person you desire and he or she would be attracted to you.

Remain Blessed!
