Before we consider the topic of knowing who this Mr.Right is, I want to first establish that the desire for every person to marry is NATURAL, BIBLICAL and even at times SPIRITUAL PROMPTINGS
Except for peculiar Spiritual dealings which exclude others from marriage as in Matthew 19:11-12 examples, it is biblically clear that marriage is the will of God for all and marriage at the Youthful age is the best of God's choice and idea
To narrow this to single ladies, we will read in Genesis 3:16 that though bible clearly states the problems a wife will face in marriage pertaining to childbearing, the bible still added that HER DESIRE WILL BE FOR HER HUSBAND"
Genesis 3:16 KJV
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and THY DESIRE [SHALL BE] TO THY HUSBAND, and he shall rule over thee."
Though marriage seems to a yoke or punishment to a women, still every young single lady 'desires to marry and marry Right. This is Where they idea of finding a Mr.Right comes.
Let me make it clear by the scriptures that God's idea of marriage is that we marry at our Youthful stage of life
Thus, marriage is an institution to enroll as a youth
Proverbs 5:18-19KJV
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of THY YOUTH,Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
This and many more scriptures suggest the fact that God wants us to marry and rejoice with our partners in old age who have been with us since our Youth times
Adam was not create a child neither an old man but A MAN, thus, Youth, God didn't wait for him to grow old before marriage but rather created another youthful helpmate for him to grow and live life with
Now, what is my reason for This lengthy exposition?
All I try to point out is that anything except God himself who tries to delay your marriage in your Youthful stage is a real enemy you should address, fight, win & conquer.
You can agree with methat in the name of waiting for or identifying Mr . Right is the major cause of marital delay among many single ladies and we want to collectively address it tonight!
Are we together?
WHO IS THIS MR.RIGTH FROM THE CHRISTIAN OR BIBLICAL STANDPOINT?
Let us read the first account of marriage initiated by God him and siphon Who Mr.Right could be or is characterized with?
Genesis 2:4-8 GNB
4. And that is how the universe was created.
5. there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because he had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land;
6. but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground.
7. Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.
8. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East, and there he put the man he had formed.
Genesis 2:15,18,21-24 GNB
15. Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.
18. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
21. Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.
22. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.
23. Then the man said, “At last, here is one of my own kind — Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. ‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”
24. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and they become one.
Below are few characteristics of this Mr.Right from the above scriptures we read.
1. He is a man created and formed by God and having Gods life giving spirit living in Him
In short, he must be born again and be filled with the holy spirit
let us read Adams account again
Genesis 2:7 GNB
7. Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.
The first name God gave or entrusted a woman to was a man he created, filled him with his life giving breathe which is a symbolism of a man born again and filled with the holy spirit.
That is a symbolism of a man in Christ or a man joined to Christ through salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 GNB
17. Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.
So the first characteristics of Mr.Right for every daughter of Zion is that he MUST be Born again having the spirit of God in him
You cannot consider an unbeliever as Mr.Right no matter how good, rich, caring, handsome, supportive or "sexy" you think his is, If he is not born again and void of the spirit of God, he is no near close to Mr.Right.
2 Corinthians 6:13-17 GNB
13. I speak now as though you were my children: show us the same feelings that we have for you. Open your hearts wide!
14. Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together?
15. How can Christ and the Devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16. How can God's temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said: “I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
17. And so the Lord says, “You must leave them and separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you.
Get it clear and clear again, the first and important characteristics of Mr.Right is a Born again person who has the spirit of God in him like you and who values God's word like you.
👆 Read that again please
2. The second Characteristics of Mr.Right is a man on purpose, assignment and his calling he received from God
If we carefully look in our text again, God gave Adam work or purpose and that was the cause of Adam needing a helpmate
Genesis 2:8,15,18 GNB
8.Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East, and there he put the man he had formed.
15. Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.
18. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.
The man who is Mr.Right is the man who God gave a "garden" to keep and cultivate
Any man who is doing nothing does not need a helpmate dear sister
Infact, A man who is even doing something God didn't not give him or purpose him to do is not Mr.Right. That man is building the tower of babel as in Genesis 11 and don't join him because the wrath of God will definitely bring that babel called marriage down
Mr.Right is the man on purpose, on assignment and on duty for God, he is must not necessarily be a pulpit preacher or church worker but a man doing something even if it is circular but you are sure God sent him there
Mr.Right is a man who is fully aware earth is a temporary market place that God sent us on a mission.
3.The third characteristics of Mr.Right is that he has a strong and bold conviction that you where taken from him, made for him to help him in fulfilling God's purpose and assignment
Genesis 2:21-23 GNB
Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.
22. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.
23. Then the man said, “At last, here is one of my own kind — Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. ‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”
Adam was asleep but immediately he work up, he perceived and was convinced that this woman was part of him and was bold to declare it.
You don't need to force yourself over every good man, sister in Christ, If they are they right people, the spirit in them will convince them at all cost
Your Mr.Right will be convinced and convicted of you, count you as a gift, a blessing from God not you forcing yourself on him because he is your spec or ideal type of man.
4.The fourth Characteristics of Mr.Right is the man God leads you to, not the man available, your spec or interested in you necessarily
Genesis 2:21-23 GNB
Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.
22. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.
23. Then the man said, “At last, here is one of my own kind — Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. ‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”
Genesis 2:22 makes it clear that it was God who brought Eve to Adam and immediately Adam got convinced and convicted, it was not Eve that selected Adam for herself.
Listen, divine leading is more important in knowing Mr.Right than your memorized spec you have in your mindset already.
God's leading does not always contradict your choice if you know your purpose and walk closely with him hearing his voice daily but your will have a serious challenge or contractions with God in his leadings if you have not yet identify your purpose and don't a close Walk with God.
This is because in God's choice selection he considers your purpose and your future and gives you a mate to help without necessarily majoring on your spec mathematics and calculations.
5.Lastly, Mr.Right is the man who can unite or become one with You according to Genesis 2:24
Genesis 2:15,18,21-24 GNB
15. Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it.
18. Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.”
21. Then the Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.
22. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.
23. Then the man said, “At last, here is one of my own kind — Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. ‘Woman’ is her name because she was taken out of man.”
24. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and they become one.
If you cannot live with a man in unity and oneness, he is not Mr.Right.
Whiles I end this session, I want to share very crucial things to know and practice that will help you to easily meet this Mr.Right
1.Seek first the kingdom (First you must be genuinely born again)
