GOD WHEN?

God When? 

This is one of the most frequently asked questions of the single folks on the internet.

Today, when a couple post pictures of themselves on the internet, you'd see the "Single Pringles " go "God when?", you watch a movie with a lot of romance scenes in it, you go "Awww, God When?"

Everyone wants to be in a relationship, every human wants to be loved; that's who we are as humans, we want to be desirable, we want to mean something valuable to someone. 

The funny thing about the "God When Peoples Club" is that some of you are not quite good with maintaining ordinary friendship and you think you can handle what a romantic relationship comes with, sorry to burst your bubbles darling, but No! It doesn't work that way. 

Some want to be in a relationship when they are yet to love themselves (this comes in place when you have an established relationship with God). You can only love someone else when you've been able to love yourself.

We understand that the bible says ".....“It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”" but can you calm your nerves down? You're getting close to someone of the other gender and you've started building castles in the air. Please, pray that breeze doesn't collapse your castles because you have decided not to take things slow. Make sure your friendship with the other gender is genuinely defined to avoid bringing yourself into a situationship and crying premium tears.

One of the great advantages we have as Christians is this; we have God to write our love story and his script always has the best story line. 

I can confidently tell you that I do this "God When" thing (hold on! don't crucify me yet, I know I'm sitting with my legs crossed on this table with you guys), I do it to remind myself that there's no crime in being single. It's a different case if you do not desire to be married; all ye disciples of the Pauline ministry, we hail thee. I desire to be married and all my God whens on the internet are not because I see my singleness as a disease; it's only to keep reminding myself "it's not that deep".

A couple of months ago, I shared a space with one of my brothers and it was as though I was going to die. You know how disorganized men can be, yeah? At that point, I knew there was still a lot of work to do on myself. I can barely share my space with someone, I'd rather go sleep elsewhere if available or sleep on the floor if there isn't any, I can barely sleep on the same bed with someone; i have a lot of my cannots I'm working on. 

Just like me, many of you have your cannots, more like you can't even bend them for anyone. You see, a lot of people in the world change who they are in a romantic relationship with just the same way they change their underwears but our case is different, we have to be intentional about our relationships - no "let's see how it goes". I've come to understand that for any SHIP (Friendship, Romantic relationship etc) to properly sail, a lot of hard work and intentionality will be required. 

Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8 NASB

Have you ever sat down (You can decided to stand or lie down🤣) to ask yourself if truly you are ready/prepared for a relationship and all that comes with it? It's quite understandable that you want to be held, pampered and cared for but how are you working on finding your purpose? How are you taking out this time to prepare yourself for "the one?". Will you be in a perfect shape when "the one" shows up? There's a lot more to discover about yourself while you're single, this is the time to be whole.

Let me shake some tables 

God When? But you've never asked God if he wants you to be in a relationship yet🤡

God When? But you know you have a lot of work to do on yourself🤡

God When? But you're not replying your DMs🤡

God When? But you think Tola; your very good friend needs to remain in the friendzone🤡

God When? But he has told you when and how🤡

You are God's child, he loves you dearly and fiercely. Imagine how he'd feel if you hurt one of his children because of your mistake and uncertainty. Enjoy your single season, do not be surprised that these married folks sometimes miss their single season; enjoy this period while it lasts and stop God When-ing.

God When? Ready? Congrats! 

Remember 

We inherit the promises of God through faith and patience.

Hebrews 6:12

And

When patience does a thorough work, we will become [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

James 1:4

The Amplified Bible.
