You Are In His Plan by janeedema(f): 11:00am On Apr 21, 2023
You are in His plan.

9 months after you get married, womb watchers will start asking if everything is fine.

A year after graduation from NYSC, The Association of Concerned People (TACP) will start questioning:

"Where's the bobo; when are we wearing Asoebi?'

Even when someone is married and has a child, online and onsite inlaws will start raising prayer points on their behalf to have more children irrespective of what a couple wants.

You can only begin to imagine what becomes of someone who says they don't want to get married or have children.

You can be sure that some people will hold vigils on their behalf not giving a hoot about their decision.

The Church doesn't help the ordeal:

They come explaining times and seasons and attributing every marital delay to marine spirit or spirit spouses.

The pastor will simply give you prayer points to bind and loose your sprit spouse-- they don't think anything else could be a reason.

When people get married out of pressure to those God hasn't ordained for them, check what or who they have been listening to.

This shouldn't be you.

Don't get married out of pressure. Your purpose comes first. It will inform who you say YES to.

Let me remind you: You are in His plan.

Now, let me ask:

Who informed you that you are waiting?

My guess? Society.

Society is continually putting us under pressure on when things should be done. It informs us of the risks of not marrying early. It tells us of the consequences of not following the norm irrespective of the dangers, and we oblige.

The word of God didn't say anything about biological clock and that's because we were created to redefine societal views-- to make a mess of widely held opinions.

If we could only make God's word our standard, we would hardly have cause to worry.

When Elizabeth had John the Baptist, she was old and well-stricken in age, society called her barren. Yet God designed her to be the mother of the forerunner of Jesus.

She wept about the delay. Perhaps, she started hiding from her peers who were grandmothers already.

Society wrote her off, but she was still on God's agenda. She had always been there.

Her church concluded that demons were holding her womb and that her village people were stopping children from entering her womb.

Yet on God's agenda, it was destined for her to wait because her womb was to carry someone sacred.

I'm not sure what informs you but know that being informed by God's timing and purpose for your life is the safest place to be.

Don't be defined by societal norms. The pressure could be abysmal.

Follow God and trust His lead for you are in His plan.
