YOUR MATES ARE MARRIED!!!
If you are single and facing pressure to be married, I know what that means.
I once lived with my uncle after my mother died. I was around 22 and I wasn't in anyway prepared for marriage.
I couldn't cook good food because we lived in poverty back home and I couldn't remember my mum cooking delicacies. We most times bought food and ate. When there was no money to cook, how will I know how to cook?
I helped my aunt with her work all day, slept late, read at night and woke up late.
My uncle sometimes got angry and reminded me at the top of his lungs that my mates were married! He constantly reminded me I couldn't take care of a husband and children, I couldn't cook. I heard that almost daily but surprisingly, I wasn't bothered.
I gained admission about 2 years later or so, faced my studies squarely, served God with all my heart and hubby showed up while I was busy serving God and building my future not depressed and waiting for a husband to come and rescue me.
I got married 3 months short of my 30th birthday to the best man in the whole world.
Life is full of pressure.
A mature man/woman do not allow pressure define them.
No matter how people push you, you can only marry at God's time which is the best time.
When God's time meets you prepared, you will be gloriously married, if not, you will experience marital delay.
You don't prepare for marriage by being desperate, sad and waiting for a man to marry you so people can shut up, you prepare by getting busy with your life, adding value to yourself and serving God. When God sees your faithfulness and readiness, he will send a godly man your way.
Serve God, build your future, invest in your business, build your career and stop wasting away while waiting for a man. No man wants to marry a lady who has no life whatsoever except waiting for a man to marry her and carry the problem of her generation on his head!
No one wants to marry a liability, everyone wants an asset!
I was pursuing God, my studies and vision when hubby came.
I was among the best students in my department and beyond.
Getting married was not my focus, God was and He brought a godly man at the right time.
Hubby was not appalled I didn't know how to cook some food, he isn't a food freak though. He loved my brain, my charisma, honesty, sincerity, openness that he considered the flaws minor.
He taught me how to prepare semovita.
He taught me how to cook gbegiri.
He taught me how to fry mouth watering stew with locust beans.
He taught me how to prepare amala without lumps.
He didn't abuse me, he simply taught me.
Now hubby accuses me of making him "lazy" at cooking in the kitchen because I do all the cooking.
I love cooking. Now, I'm a good cook. Hubby taught me.
Don't allow parental/societal/peer pressure push you into the wrong marriage. You alone will suffer for it.
Relax. Wait for God's time. Pray and destroy every satanic stronghold that may want to make you miss God's time.
Be prepared to be an asset to your husband not a liability.
Be humble, ready and willing to take correction.
Do not be proud, sassy, pompous, arrogant and rude because of your age and achievements.
You will not miss your God ordained spouse when the time comes in Jesus' name.
I love you but Jesus loves you more.
Thanks for reading. God bless you. Cheers!
