Finding Your Self First As Singles.

Beloved, do not chase dating or romantic attention when you lack clarity about your purpose, calling, and direction in life. Entering relationships without understanding who you are and where God is taking you often leads to confusion, compromise, and heartbreak. Your heart, time, and energy are precious, and they deserve alignment with God’s plan for your life. Singles, your season of preparation is not a waiting room for love—it is a training ground for destiny. God wants you to know yourself, your values, and the assignment He has placed on your life before you invest in someone else. Pursuing love without this foundation is like building on sand; it may feel exciting, but it cannot endure the storms of life and ministry. Understanding your purpose also equips you to recognize partners who are aligned with God’s plan for you. It protects you from distractions, unhealthy attachments, and relationships that derail your calling. Your heart must first be settled in God’s truth so that y...

PREPARING YOUR HEART FOR HEALTH LOVE IN 2026

If you are single or currently in a premarital relationship, this season is not a waiting room for marriage but a training ground for wholeness. As a man or a woman, what you are becoming now will determine the kind of relationship you will sustain later. Love is not proven by how fast emotions grow but by how well your values, convictions, and purpose align. God uses this season to heal your heart, shape your character, and teach you how to love without losing yourself. Many relationships struggle because both men and women enter love expecting their partner to fix what only God can heal. A man may desire respect but has not learned responsibility. A woman may desire security but has not learned emotional stability. Healthy relationships are built when both genders take ownership of their growth. Love works best when two whole people choose each other, not when two wounded people cling to each other out of fear of loneliness. Premarital relationships are meant to reveal alignment, not...

Waiting vs. Walking in God’s Timing

Desiring marriage can make singles impatient, tempting them to settle or force relationships. But God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are higher than ours. Scripture declares, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14). Walking in patience allows God to orchestrate the right union that honors Him fully. Waiting is not passive; it is a period of preparation, prayer, and personal growth. Singles are called to strengthen their character, deepen their intimacy with Jesus, and clarify their purpose. This ensures that when the right partner comes, the relationship will serve God’s kingdom and not just personal desire. Rushing leads to compromises and mismatches, but intentional waiting produces alignment, covenant readiness, and a union that glorifies Jesus. Trusting God’s timing allows His wisdom to guide your choices, protecting your heart and your future marriage. When you wait on God and walk in His timing, you become a vessel rea...

Self-Centeredness vs. Servant-Heartedness

Desiring a relationship often begins with “What can this person do for me?” but becoming a husband or wife means asking, “How can I serve this person and honor God in this union?” Scripture reminds us, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). Singles must cultivate a servant-hearted attitude, learning to put love, sacrifice, and humility above personal satisfaction. True preparation for marriage involves growing in empathy, patience, and generosity. It is not about finding someone to complete you but about being complete in Christ so you can complement another in love and purpose. Each act of selfless love now prepares you for the covenant relationship that glorifies Jesus. Many singles struggle because they pursue relationships for personal gain—companionship, status, or fulfillment. But God calls you to pursue a partner in alignment with His kingdom, someone you can uplift, encourage, and walk with...

Infatuation vs. Covenant

Infatuation is temporary, but marriage is a covenant—a sacred promise that mirrors Christ’s love for the Church. Singles often confuse feelings with readiness for lifelong commitment. Scripture instructs, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Matthew 19:6). A relationship rooted in covenant prioritizes faithfulness, patience, and mutual growth over fleeting emotions. Dating is the practice field for understanding covenantal love. It is a time to ask hard questions, test compatibility, and discern God’s direction. Singles must examine whether their heart is willing to commit beyond feelings, to persevere through challenges, and to serve selflessly. Covenant love is intentional and sacrificial, not conditional on mood or attraction. Many young people rush relationships expecting emotions to sustain them, only to face disappointment. But when a relationship is evaluated through the lens of covenant, singles learn patience, endurance, and humility. They also learn...

Attraction vs. Alignment

Singles often pursue relationships based on attraction, charisma, or temporary chemistry. While these can spark interest, they are not the measure of a God-centered marriage. Alignment is key: shared values, faith, and purpose are what sustain a lifelong union. Scripture teaches, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Seek someone whose life and calling resonate with yours so Jesus is glorified in every step you take together. Dating is the season to evaluate alignment, not just infatuation. Ask: Does this person love God wholeheartedly? Do they demonstrate fruit of the Spirit? Are they walking in their calling? God desires that your relationship is a partnership in kingdom work, where both of you grow in Christ together. When attraction is prioritized over alignment, relationships often falter under the weight of incompatible visions or values. Singles must...

Desire vs. Preparedness

Beloved, desiring a relationship or marriage is natural, but God calls us to examine the heart behind that desire. Many singles focus on filling a void or satisfying emotions, forgetting that a God-honoring union requires preparation. Scripture reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). Before seeking a spouse, take time to grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally so that your future marriage reflects God’s glory. Preparation means becoming the person God wants you to be before bringing someone else into your life. It’s not just about readiness to be loved, but readiness to love selflessly, lead faithfully, and support your partner’s God-given purpose. As a single, invest in your personal growth, discover your calling, and ensure your life is aligned with Christ. A marriage that glorifies Jesus is built on individuals who are whole in Him first. Dating without preparation...
