Why God Would Rather Have Some Women Stay Single Than Get Married by jesusjnr2020(m): 7:17am On Aug 22, 2021 |
Why God Would Rather Have Some Women Stay Single Than Get Married It's because of the limitations that usually come with marriage, especially for women, making it hard for God to be able to use them to the fullness of His ability. That's why the women that God had used to do much more and greater things have often been unmarried, women like Kathryn Kulman and Gladys Aylward. Some who are married or engaged would have to get divorced and break off their engagements, for them to be able to fully realize their God-given potentials. For instance, Mary Slessor. Except they are fortunate to have a "one of a kind" husband, like the biblical Joseph, the husband of Mary. A man who is not egoistic but rather humble. A man who wouldn't mind playing second fiddle to his wife or taking a back seat, so the plan and Will of God concerning her could take preeminence and be actualized. However such men are very hard to come by. It's easier to pass through the eye of the needle than to have such a husband these days, when even majority of so-called Christian men were looking for slaves more or less to marry not wives. Women who they are determined to exercise authority and lordship over, who would submit themselves to them but not to the Will of God. They would see a man as Joseph as a weakling and simp, because they believe that being a man is by domineering and ruling over others as one's wife, but unknown to them, that is the true measure of a man, for it's not by exercising authority or dominion over others as Jesus taught His disciples who had same orientation at some point, but by humbling and yielding one's self and his marriage completely to the authority of God, and letting Him have His way as Joseph did, even if it meant for him to assume a lesser role in the marriage. Matthew 20:25-28 (KJV) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. That's why I have the highest regard for a man like Joseph despite that not much was spoken about him in the Bible. The little said spoke volumes and sufficed for me, it even compelled me to create a special thread for him out of respect with my former moniker, where i depicted him as the true measure of a man, because he was a perfect illustration of everything Christ said in that instance. https://www.nairaland.com/5514718/joseph-husband-mary-measure-man#83806010 How many Christian men would humble and let God have His way in their marriage as Joseph did? His wife Mary, was obviously the lead actor in God's plan for their marriage, because she was the one who was going to birth the Son of God and the savior of the world. So he would have to shelve his own plans and make it a priority to help Mary accomplish God's purpose for her life. Hence his role in the marriage was more like that of a supporting one. It's obvious that he was chosen for that role because he had the Christlike quality, where despite being the Bridegroom would serve and wouldn't mind washing the feet of His bride. John 13:4-17 But there aren't many men like that who would be humble enough to be the kind of husband that such chosen women of God, need for them to be able to fully function and accomplish God's purpose for their lives. Hence God would rather have such women stay single, than get married. God bless.

So do not be surprised when you see that most of the women at the forefront leading the end time move of God were not married but single. For so it seemed good in God sight. God bless. |

I know of two men who play second fiddle to their wives. One, a former Leicester university head of department left England to come and help his wife run her school in Ibadan. The second man helps his wife run her restaurant. Both men are seriously disrespected by their wives and children. Both women are the masters at home. |

Why didn't God stop Eve from marrying Adam then? There are many fallacies in your post! How many Prophets were women? Why didn't your Jesus come as a woman. Paul said: A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man From 1 Cor. 11:7 I dey come. |

Image123:Do you know what it means to be married for someone who believes he knows and want to teach someone else? Even if she got married but ended up as a divorce, and that tallies with the point I made in the Op that such is inevitable if they don't have the kind of husband that would be humble enough to let them function as God would have them do. I told you to learn from Joseph's example of the kind of husband that such women need, otherwise you can never marry such chosen women, or your marriage would end up in divorce as that of Kathryn Kulman's. |

Joseph was in charge. Mary was only used as a vessel for 9 months. After Jesus was born, Joseph started his role as a husband and him and Mary obviously had sex which gave them other children. Joseph cross wasn't 'till I die cross'. Once Jesus was born, Mary had fulfilled her role. |

Image123:You should know the question is of no bearing to this discussion, that's why I brought them up, but unfortunately you were too blind to see it. Such is the kind of question the Pharisees used to bring up to Jesus in those days because of similar things He said, but you know what Jesus did to them. He wouldn't dignity them with a response, and so do I. You obviously need to humble yourself and learn from the little children on how to be a man in the God sense of the word. Otherwise you'd never know but keep wallowing in ignorance because God can only reveal such things to the "babes". 2 Likes |

jesusjnr2020: It has ALL bearing because it exposes your hypocrisy. You cannot be married or planning to marry while teaching others not to marry. So again i ask, are you married? Are you planning to marry? Mention the question(S) that the Pharisees asked Jesu and how it is similar to these? While at it, Jesus answered the questions of the different people several times. Stop lying on Jesus, everyone has access to Bible. This is not the days of your fathers when they kept the Bible away from all to read whatever pleased them and do your type of dumb eisegesis. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Image123:The only thing that has been exposed here is your ignorance. You hinged someone's hypocrisy on mere assumptions, because I haven't answered yet but you're already drawing conclusions as typical. Lying on Jesus? You must the only bible reader on Earth that doesn't know that Jesus didn't answer the ulterior motivated questions of the Pharisees even though He had answers to them. They asked Him questions about Himself because of the things He did, just as you're doing to me, but because of their wrong intentions, Jesus didn't answer them. Matthew 21:27 (KJV) And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. So now you know. Jesus answered questions based on the intentions of those asking, so I learnt from the best. |
