WAITING VS WASTING
When God hasn't directed you yet, hasn't said anything, or no suitable life partner material coming or around you for no fault of yours, and you are single because of that and busy with your life, you're WAITING.
But once God has said something, directed you, via any means, and you delay necessary action for whatever reason, or you're idle (burying you talents and gifts) while waiting for a partner, you're WASTING.
Why do singles WASTE?
1) IGNORANCE
Don't let somebody's (your Mentors or Pastors) testimony of how God led THEM make you ignore how God has chosen to lead YOU.
Not every Christian will be directed via an audible voice. Ndi "God hasn't spoken", Know this and have Peace, and marry on time.
Some will be led by clear dreams/visions.
Others by a knowing,
God can lead and give you conviction through random, normal everyday circumstances and situations that bring you both together, even from a match making attempt by friends and family..
It doesn't have to be spectacular to be divine. Stop waiting for an angel to appear to you..
2) IDOL IN THE HEART
Some sisters will hear God's voice and say it is the Devil talking, all because they don't like the brother, tomorrow they'll say they are waiting on the Lord, waiting on which Lord? Lord Luggard abi.
As a Brother, Sister Chinyere with the big chest is the one you're eyeing, whereas Sis Bisi with the humble chest keeps entering your mind anytime you pray, you're now 37, you say you're still WAITING on God, uncle you're WAITING on Breast, continue WASTING.
3) IDLENESS
Waiting season shouldn't be an Idle season.
Use your waiting period to grow (spiritually, financially-hustling, in character, preparing for your future), because that growth you're not engaging in may be the reason you're still single.
4) UNSERIOUSNESS
You're waiting on God, and you're not praying. No prayer life, no fasting life, no prayer partner, no prayer meetings you attend.
Your prayer life is in coma, Bible study life is in the Intensive Care Unit, and you say you're waiting on God, how? If waiting on God doesn't make you become a vibrant Christian, what will?
5) PLAYING HARD TO GET..
God has spoken, you even know it, but you want to do small shakara for the brother, a whole 12 months is what you want to use to do shakara, congratulations, you've been transfered on loan from WAITING FC to WASTING FC. E go choke you.
6) FEAR
You like her, there's plenty compatibility, you have prayed and there's peace, but you don't know how to approach her, you're shy,
7 months later you are still beating around the bush like ungun known men, instead of shooting your shot, well done Sir, you're the chairman of WASTING POLITICAL PARTY (WPP). She'll soon invite you for her wedding.
If God or Circumstances beyond your control are not keeping you single, please don't keep yourself single. Play your Part
My Prayer for every single person reading this, may you not be WASTING, while thinking you're WAITING
