SINGLEHOOD AND SECONDARY VIRGINITY. ...
It can be hard to understand the topic above but some people will understand it at first glance while some won't. Singlehood is the time of preparation as I like to refer to it. It is not the time of mourning or being scornful towards the married folks.
Singlehood is the time you must enjoy and maximise your potentials in the ways of the Lord. This is the time when you must not allow anything that will stain your glowing gown before the Lord. If you are single and still a virgin keep it that way till you are found or you find your spouse as the Lord leads.
It is essential we understand that there is time for everything as the word of God says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 also His word says He made everything beautiful in His Time Ecclesiastes 3:11.
That includes now when you are single and waiting or searching as it applies to sisters or brothers.
If you are single and not a virgin but now redeemed congratulations. Because His word says in 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 He that is in Christ is a New Creature old things are passed away behold all things have become new. Yes you are new and you are now in the stage of secondary virginity.
The desires you felt before towards sexual intercourse outside marriage must stop having dominion over you. This can be done successfully by the grace of God and total determination of obeying God to the very end. That means you obey God when it's pleasant and when it isn't.
When your past flashes, tempting you to succumb to it you must have the boldness to say get thee behind me satan. Also you must have the assurance that God has a good plan for you according to Jeremiah29:11.
His joy will be your strength Nehmiah 8 : 10. It can be a stressful journey you are doing all you can to stay focused on the plans of God but the flesh is waring against your spirit you need God all the time.
As much as the singlehood period is time to prepare, its also time to develop your spiritual strength. It's time to reach out of your comfort zone don't be idle in His vineyard. Whatever you find your hands doing do it well. You have a lot of potentials deposited in you and to whom much is given, much is expected.
You must not see your singlehood period as a period of distress in as much as that is what the enemy of your soul wants you to feel and see you must see and feel beyond that because your vision is renewed in Christ.
Challenges will arise but God is always there for you, you have already won that battle because you are in Christ. Remember Christ in you is the Hope of glory.
People might call you names, Biological clocks can tick but God is the orchestrator of time and you can never limit God within a scheduled time. He owns time because He created time and when the specific and appointed time comes who can stop Him? At that time, you are just the subject He wants to work on and that is when your set time is. Psalm 102:13. You are always the apple of His eyes.
Singlehood is not a time to start sizing up how good a sister or brother is in bed. Remember when you have sexual intercourse with someone you share your glory and theirs, curses, blessing and so on. So let us say you tried paul today, selena tomorrow transfer of glory and curses and that includes all the other people you have slept with.
Singlehood is a time of enjoyment, a time of realisation, a time of identifying what and who God has called you to be. Above all a time to prepare for your next phase of Life.
Guard your heart with the fear of God and wisdom to go about it will be deposited in you.
YOU ARE SPECIAL.
