How to know a godly lady that truly loves you

In some couple of days back, we have been looking by the Spirit of God at how to know a godly man that truly loves you. Today, we want to delve into ‘How to know a godly lady that truly loves you.

You see, you need to know that you cannot marry anybody and everybody. Marriage is a life determiner! Marriage is not a game. It is not like a Ludo game where you can afford to lose and then play again, walk away, scatter the game and play different antics. This is because God sees a marriage as a covenant.

It is imperative therefore to understand that marriage is very important and can often determine how your life turns out eventually.

Who is a godly woman that truly loves you?

1. She will truly be a God lover.
Dear young man, make sure your wife is God lover. It is the foundation of all things and it determines a lot and how your life will turn out. It determines how your home will look like. It determines what ambience will be found in your home. It determines what kind of children you are going to raise. It determines how they will turn out.

Don’t even get into a relationship with a lady who has no regard for God! It is not going to last.

How will you know whether she truly loves God?

It is indicated in her daily habits, words and actions. A lady that loves God will love you. A lady that loves God will love her children. There is a scripture that says a woman shall compass a man. It means she will determine a lot of things.

2. She will be a lady that truly has passion for the things of God
The things of God are spiritual things. There is a difference between a spiritual person and a natural person. The scripture says that the natural man understandeth not the things of the spirit.

Does she read her Bible regularly? Oh, you think that it doesn’t matter as long as she has hot legs? Well, it matters a lot. Is she a worker in her local assembly or she attends church only when it is convenient? Does she have a relationship with her Pastor? Can her Pastor vouch for her? What about tithing and giving? All these are yardsticks through which you are able to see some things. I am not saying that anybody that does these is okay as there could be religious people, but I am saying a lady ought to have passion for the things of God.

Her passion for the things of God will often determine her intention and actions as it relates to loving you and raising a family. It will determine how your children will turn out. It will determine whether you have somebody covering you in prayers when you are at the lowest ebbs in your life or you are just on your own! God helped me to get married to a woman that has passion for God, and that solves a lot of problems for me. That is the way it is. Your choice of marriage partner will often determine whether you will fight battles alone or you have a helper indeed!

Thank you Kokoette for sharing the knowledge to empower people.

About Me

My photo
I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody about Somebody who can save anybody. I give all honor to the Father for the privilege of being His instrument, through whom He lives and works for His glory alone. I served in the U.S. Navy for 21 years, retiring in September 2003. In my final three years, I was co-pastor at Greater New Refuge COGIC in Fallon, Nevada, under Pastor Gregory L. Brown. I supported my pastor and church by helping with a new sanctuary's construction and caring for all ministry needs while staying true to my mandate to preach the Word of God without compromise. In November 2002, I was licensed to preach and ordained in June 2003. While stationed in Virginia Beach, I served at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church for 17 years under Bishop-Elect W.D. Scott, Sr., and now I serve at Calvary Revival Church in Norfolk, VA, under Bishop B. Courtney McBath. I also earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Religion from Saint Leo University, deepening my foundation and commitment to this path of faith.

MY THEOLOGICAL TRAINING:

It brings to my face a unadulterated smile each and every occasion I am asked, “Elder Dre, What Theological Training do you have?”

My heart beams with joy at the opportunity to humbly give full glory to God as I reflect on on how the prophets, patriarchs and apostles of old would have respond: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Gideon, King David, Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Matthew, Mark, Peter, James, John and the other disciples, not forgetting the Saviour Himself.

How would they have answered the question: “What theological training do you have?”

The words of the prophet Amos also came to mind: “Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:” Amos 7:14

I surely am not impliedly decrying theological preparation, education or training: I consider it essential, but not as much as some think. For the fact is, the Almighty raises up believers according to His own standards.

Educational qualifications, wealth, fame, talent, social standing, outward appearance etc. are useful; but they are secondary in His sight. Qualities like faith, obedience, holiness, humility, honesty, absolute loyalty to one’s spouse, the ability to raise one’s family to fear God and keep His commandments etc.; these are the things the Most High values.

“Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

Only on the Day of Judgment will it be known how truly educated, weighty and effective I have been. That is why I have to smile when the question arise.

The vanity of the question is only matched by the foolishness of my answer.

As the wise man wrote: “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1: 2 or as the apostle Paul commented in 2 Corinthians 11:16-30 when rattling off a long list of impressive qualifications “... I speak as a fool.”

Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who proclaim that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 1 John 4:14-15 (NLT)

I am a preacher, but most of all, I proclaim that Jesus is the Savior with various applications of that truth in my everyday life. My dear friend, if you are a Christian, you are a preacher also. Whether you have been ordained or not, hired by a church or not, or ever been recognized as a preacher or not is beside the point. All who have God living in them are called to proclaim the Savior to the world. It is a Holy calling, and a demanding one. It will pull you out of your comfort zone, challenge your commitment, and help to develop you into the person God has created you to be.

John spoke as an eyewitness to Jesus' saving power. We speak as heart-witnesses; ones who have not seen Jesus with our eyes, but have experienced Him through personal transformation. I speak, and you speak, as a representative of Christ on earth. The message that we bring is simple, yet profound; that God the Father sent God the Son into the world to save those who are lost to bring them into relationship with Him. As you tell the story, and I tell the story, some will listen and receive the grace that God has sent us into the world to proclaim.

PRAYER THOUGHT: Father, what a privilege to be a spokesperson for You.

Thank you for stopping by. Stay encouraged and please do come back.
