“…and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing (Isaiah 10:27, KJV).

Every woman have a legitimate desire to be married. However, many have had their hopes dashed and their desires unfulfilled because of broken promises.

It can be so frustrating when you feel the biological clock is winding down and the right guy is no where near.

The stress gets to let the bitch out. Hence most women experiencing delay in getting married can be quite bitchy. Which further compounds their situation.

Your attitude determines your altitude. No man wants a bitch for a wife and so, the beautiful bitch gets left on the shelf while the humble ugly duckling get married.

So many ladies have done the rounds as brides maid for their friends, caught the bridal bouquets several times and yet Mr Right left them off.

So sad really that even though they are still expecting a marriage proposal, the children of their friends to whom they were bride’s maid are getting married.

If you are currently feeling like it’s too late to get the right guy come unite with you, I have good news for you.

Remember that the darkest hour of the night precede dawn. Just when you think it’s over is when it’s just starting to get better for you.

Let me tell you a real life story that will build up your faith and give you hope.

When I was in the mission field, I had the privilege of giving counsel to an elderly single woman, Florence (not her real name). She was in her late forties. She was crude, brash and ugly.

I met Florence, when I went to visit a sick church member at home, who happened to be her friend.

Florence liked what transpired that day and came over to Church, the next day.

From our interaction, it came out she was just a church goer who never had a personal encounter with Christ.

I led her to Christ. After she committed to Christ, she sought Christian counseling to help her with her challenges.

It came out she had been disappointed three times by three different guys.

When we met, Florence was in a relationship with the fourth guy, Kenneth(not his real name). Both were living together without marriage.

Florence was the praise leader in her church, she desired to be married but the guy said unless she got pregnant, it ain’t happening. That was their second year of cohabiting.

Her pastor was well aware of her sinful living and yet did not point her in the right direction. I know so because I confronted him.

I caught it in the Spirit that Kenneth was just using her to gratify his sexual lust. He had no intention of marrying her. He understood her desperation to get married and was taking advantage of that.

When I became her parent in the faith and her pastor, I invited Kenneth for an interview. During the course of the interview, it came out that he actually wanted her originally for a wife. However, when he started dating her, some concerned Brethren (he goes to church too), pointed out that marriage to such a characterless woman was suicidal. Which made him reconsider his original intention. But because of the privileges he was enjoying in the relationship, he decided to maximize his opportunity.

Character like smoke, cannot be hidden, no matter how much you try to cover it up.

And true to type, gradually she displayed she was the she-devil they tagged her to be. Whenever she gets anxious about their sinful living, he tells her to get pregnant and improve her character then they would be married.

According to Kenneth, his ‘prophet’ told him Florence would never have children. Without the risk of pregnancy, it suited his purpose to cohabit with her while dangling marriage before her. Such a loser!

To God be the glory, I ministered God’s Word to him and he repented.

Next, both had to separate. He moved out. And godly order was restored in their lives.

Through Word based and Christ centered therapy, her personality was transformed. That change attracted a godly husband to her, who followed due process to make her his wife. They are blessed with two kids.

Kenneth also got established in the faith. He followed due process, got married to a good Christian girl in church. Rather unfortunately, they had still births twice.

While waiting for prince charming to make the move, maintain your purity. Don’t let anyone use you to gratify their sexual lust. keep a good attitude. Work on your character. Prepare yourself for marriage.

The guy who married Florence was there all along. He knew of her relationship with Kenneth.

The day Kenneth and Florence separated, was the day Dayo received word in his spirit that Florence would be his wife. Their counseling appointment overlapped and both were in my waiting room together.

According to Dayo, (Florence’s husband), when he heard those words, he believed the devil was out to get him.

He knew her and avoided her like the plague. Her personality alienated him. He told me some months later, how he went into deep spiritual warfare to reject such a bride from hell.

However, her personality changed after she committed to Christ and started living by Godly principles. She radiated God’s glory and he was able to come forth with a marriage proposal, within a year. Within two years they were married. Florence was such beautiful bride. Her marriage was a testimony in our mission field.

Even if your marriage is delayed through a spiritual set up by the forces of evil, your character and lifestyle play major roles in either disabling or enabling demonic activities.

When you live right, right things will gravitate to you.

Let us Pray :
ABBA, we give you all the praise for the gender you made us to be.

We acknowledge as sin all our sexual alliances outside marriage. We receive forgiveness and cleansing from every unrighteousness.

I stand with you against all character flaws alienating your ordained husband from you.

I release to you now, the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings personality transformation and divine attraction and connection.

Marriage is your portion. You are loosed from all satanic ban of late or no marriage, in Christ precious name.

Every evil covering over you that has made suitors not to see you, are hereby destroyed by Holy fire in Jesus mighty name.

Go and be found by your husband, in Christ precious name.
