Done? Alright.
Please listen to me with your heart, what I'm about to share with you are secrets that I wish someone had told me way earlier before I started my journey to marriage, but thank God for the grace of growth and recovery.
There are three stages of marriage. And I might add mine according to my personal relationship with God and the things that He has appointed unto me to make known to you also. So there are four stages of marriage that God expects us to reach.
The first stage is FINDING GOD.
This is a level where you begin early to seek God and establish a personal relationship with him. This was why I said I wish I was taught this earlier on in life, not that I didn't know God early, I did, but I didn't know Him on a personal relationship level, all I knew and interpreted as a relationship with God was just a relationship with religion.
There was no experience of God for myself. I didn't know how God speaks to me, hears me, fellowships with me, directs me, etc. I was just a church person, a religion faithful.
Please know God, please. Seek a relationship with Him personally before marriage, I beg you.
I know you are in the choir, ushering department, you serve, you pay your tithe and your offerings are amazing, but these are just about 0.5% of what a personal relationship with God is all about.
So the first stage is finding God for yourself personally, it is this experience of God that qualities you to go further in your singlehood into marriage, because it is your experience of God that you will continue to practice in your marriage.
When people ask me; "Papa, what then is the right time to get married?"
This words I have shared with you is my answer, always. - The right time or the right age to get married is when you have seeked God long and hard enough that God starts seeking you.
This is very much Biblical as well. It's not my idea. In Genesis Bible says Adam was busy with his purpose and relationship with God to the point where the Holy Spirit started muttering to Himself; "it is not good for man to be alone, I will make for him a helpmeet."
It was the Holy Ghost that started seeking BETTER for man.
So the right time or age to get married is not when you've got that oil job, or built that estate or can afford to bring home a salary every month or when your parents start mounting pressure on you. Rather, the right time to get married is when the Holy Ghost start seeking BETTER for you.
The truth is that you will only know about God's desire to give you better if you have a personal fellowship with Him.
Please don't attempt this marriage covenant if you don't have a relationship with the Holy Spirit as your backup, as your advantage, please don't.
Oh chase God now while you are still single. Search for God together now that its still just a relationship, because all you'll be required to do in your marriage is so going to be dependent on that STILL SMALL VOICE you are familiar with. The success or rather I should say the influence of your marriage hinges on the amount of success or influence that God has on you.
I will teach about the other stages of marriage later on this page.
