Let me take you to the very first “human relationship” that ever occured
The relationship of Adam & Eve
Did you know that it was God who designed the “relationship” between men and women starting with Adam & Eve
God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone”
It is the Lord
God is the author of marriage
And the founder of family
But before the very first human relationship, God bestowed 4 things upon the very first couple that is carried until to this day
What are those four?…
If you read carefully through & 2… you will see LARA

6
LIBERTY (Freewill ) to choose
AUTHORITY to decide
RESPONSIBILITY to find
and ACCOUNTABILITY throughout the process
Who among you are here are currently in the process of finding their partners?…
Raise your hands
To those who are in a relationship, do not judge the book by it’s cover
Do not judge this message by its title
I pray that even though you’re married, engaged, or in a relationship, He will still still speak to you through this message entitled “Partner Finder”
In proverbs 18:22 it says
In finding the love of your life, there are matters that are non-negotiable
First of alL...
WE MUST HAVE SPIRITUAL UNITY
2 Corinthians 6:14-15
National Survey (marriage magazine) reveals that 1 out of every 2 & half marriage ended up in divorce
On the other hand, when a couple is spiritually unified, and they practice healthy spiritual habits together:
Attend church together
Pray together
Read the Bible together
The number of divorce drops to 1 out of 1,105 marriages
Are you willing to gamble?
Are you willing to depend on chances?
If he or she didn’t change before the marriage, do you think he or she will change after the marriage?
In a church wedding ceremony you’ll see the isle, you’ll see the altar and you’ll hear the hymm
Isle, Altar, Him.... I’ll alter him!
Only God can alter a person
Secondly...
WE MUST HAVE LIFE PURPOSE COMPATIBILITY
Amos
it’s not gonna last
life of conflict
God SHAPEd you
He gifted you
If you missed your purpose because of marriage, don’t marry
You may be both believers but if you don’t have the same purpose, it could become a disaster
A bad marriage is worst than staying single
Enormous power when both husband and wife has compatible purpose in life
WE MUST BOTH BE EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY
Everyone is broken
Wife abuse, domestic violence everybody is a sinner
Whoever I marry must have no uncontrolled anger
No Addictions
No bitterness | bitterness will eat you alive | whatever you resist, persist
Not selfish |
proverbs 18:1
Not greedy |
you will be always in debt | |
