• There are 3 major decision a person has to make in life:
1. Accepting Jesus as your lord and saviour
2. Discovering the purpose for which you were born
3. Choosing a godly life partner

Find:
• To discover through diligent search.
• To obtain by effort

• Marriage was founded by God.
• Finding a godly life partner is far beyond the physical beauty, smartness, intelligence of person.
• You need God to help you.
• Choosing a godly life partner is about getting married to a partner who is healthy to meet your physical and spiritual needs.
• It is choosing a life partner who is willing and ready to increase your God-given abilities, purpose and visions here on earth.
• It is about finding someone who is ready to be with you.
• Marriage begins with you being a godly person first.
• If you are not a godly person, it will be difficult for you to find a suitable help for you.
• The most important thing is to seek the kingdom of God first (Mat 6:33).

How can i find a godly life partner?
1. By seeking God (Mat 6:33)
2. Through prayer (Mat 7:7-8)
3. Through genuine visions and revelations
• How can someone who is prayerless see visions and revelations about you?

What are the points to consider when choosing a godly life partner?
1. The person should be born-again
• Choose someone who is born again and has accepted Jesus as their lord and saviour.
• This person must be full of the word and have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

2. Do not choose a baby (novice) in the Lord
• Choose someone who is mature in the Lord.
• Two babies must never go into a relationship, the end result is disastrous.

3. The church you feed from plays an important role
• The church you go to plays a big role in doctrinal issues.
• You can’t find a lady to marry in every church.
• Not every church is a bible-believing church.

What is marriage all about?
1. Fulfillment of divine purpose and destiny for one’s life (Gen 2:18-19, 24-25)
• The one you are marrying is part and parcel of your destiny here on earth.
• You need to marry someone who is willing to be part of your life and purpose here on earth.

2. Union of purpose (Amos 3:3)
• No one is qualified for your association until they are going in your direction.

3. Sharing of responsibilities (Eph 5:22-25)
• The husband and wife have responsibilities in marriage.

4. The practice of love
• You must not choose a life partner you are not willing to love for the rest of your life.
• Be willing to share your genuine love with.
• There will never be marriage outside love.
• Marriage minus love equals frustration and wreckage.

5. It is the bedrock of support and safety (Eccl 4:9-10)
• A major assignment is to keep your spouse on their feet 24/7 physically and spiritually.
• If you don’t support that person, you are contributing to their failure.

6. Marriage facilitates victory (Eccl 4:10-12, Gen 25:21)
• Victory is assured when the matrimony is in order.
• Stand to win battles on behalf of your spouse.
• Present matters to God in prayer.
• Never waste people’s time if you are not ready to be with them.

Wrong reasons why people marry
1. Because they are of age
2. They are unable to control themselves to fulfill fleshly desires
3. Because they want to change their title (e.g they want to be called mrs)
4. They are tired of fending for themselves
5. Because they want to show pity to a person
6. Because they want to get permanent residence outside their country
7. They no longer want to be at their mother and father’s place

PRAYER POINT:
HOLY SPIRIT, LEAD ME BY YOUR TRUTH AND TEACH ME. SHOW ME THE GODLY LIFE PARTNER I SHOULD SETTLE WITH IN MARRIAGE SO THAT TOGETHER WE CAN BUILD A GODLY-CENTERED HOME, THEREBY ATTRACTING MANY PEOPLE TO CHRIST.
[PSALM 25:4-5]
