Monday, March 9, 2015

I.Single, Unique and Whole

  1. Single, Whole and Unique

1.(1 Cor. 7:8, 9 AMP) Be truly single!

  1. The definition of single is to be separate, unique and whole.
  2. No one should ever marry until he/she is whole or complete in his or her individuality and uniqueness.
  • You must know who you really are and what you are, your gifts, and be in pursuit of your dreams before ever considering marriage.

2.Many Christians get married before they ever become whole or single.

a.Some are looking for “their other half” to complete them.

  • The mate you select should complement you not complete you!
  • You should not NEED a mate to fill “a void” in your life!

3.The secret to enjoying life as a single person is to love yourself for who you are – embracing your strengths and confronting your weaknesses.

a.When you are confident with who you are you will attract others to you! This confidence starts with knowing who you are in Christ.

  • (Ps. 139:13-18 NLT)
  • (Eph. 2:10 AMP)

B.Single Does Not Mean Being ALONE

1.(Gen. 2:18) Being Alone

a.The word alone means isolated or secluded.

  • God didn’t say Adam was incomplete he said was alone.
  • It is not good to stay isolated, secluded and lonely.

b.The solution for feelings of loneliness is friends not marriage.

  • Many married people are lonely too!

C.Putting First Things First (Becoming whole)

1.(Prov. 24:27 AMP) putting first things first.

2.Get your house in order.

a.Develop a genuine relationship with Christ.

3.Deal with character issues.

a.(1 Cor. 7:1, 2)“…It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

  • Single men and women should not live together, have sex, or even touch intimately.
  • Get rid of your “sugar-daddy’s” and booty calls!
  • Save your gift of sex for your marriage partner!

b.Sex connects us physically, mentally and spiritually to the person we have sex with.

  • (1 Cor. 6:18)“…Flee fornication!

4.Seek destiny, purpose and assignment not a mate!

  1. (1 Cor. 7:27) “Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife.
  • Don’t make having a spouse the purpose of your life!
  1. (Gen. 2:7, 8, 15-17)
  • God and man. v7
  • God, man and his assignment. v8
  • God, man and His assignment. v15
  • God, man and His assignment, the Word. v16, 17
  • Companionship wasn’t a concern until after he had things in order. v18
  1. Improve your education, travel, start a business, go after your dream!
  • Focus on becoming the best YOU you can be!
