"LET GOD’S PLANS WORK OUT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NEW
YEAR."

---------------------------------------------------------
December is known as the period of reminiscence of the passing
year and anticipation for the coming year; celebrating God’s
love and preparing for new challenges in the coming year.
Therefore, it is a period of groundwork as we enter into the New
Year.
Several people attend prayer meetings and lurk around worship
centres to pray their way into the New Year as they seek
directions and wisdom for the next season. Singles are not left
behind in this epic drama as they desire that their relationship
statuses receive a dose of the change as the season changes too.
Herein we see God’s plan even in this light as He wants us not
to be lonely but be happy living with others and being lived
with: companionship.
Your duty in this coming year is to let God’s plans work by
trusting in Him and waiting on Him. I have heard many people say
“I will definitely pray to God about having a life partner but
am not so sure God will answer me, at least this is not the
first time I have been praying about it”
Your duty to God in this coming year is to trust and wait for
him to bring His purpose to fruition, to agree with His words
that “He makes all things beautiful in his own time”. One of
your greatest limiting factors in the world is doubt, the very
moment you begin to tickle anxiety and doubt in your mind and
you start to judge your life’s relationship progress from the
standpoint of other people relationships’ growth.
Trying to force things to happen when you are under pressure
always produces pressurized disasters that are colossal in the
long term. When your choices are made outside of God’s
perspectives you can be sure that the survival of those
decisions will revolve around you, and of course you aren’t in
your best outside God…
God can take time to answer me! That’s a fact and God isn’t
sorry about His methods and principles, He won’t change it
because you are eager to get married soon or because all your
mates are married with children; He trusts so much in His
methods, they are love-driven. He loves you that much to take
His time to prepare you and your spouse to be.
HOW YOU CAN LET GOD’S PLAN WORK OUT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP THIS
NEW YEAR
GET PLUGGED IN
It takes someone with God’s spirit to hear and respond to God’s
words. God loves you and wants the best for you, and until you
accept His offer of love for you, you can’t understand what He
is up to in your life. The natural mind cannot carry the weight
of God’s love, hence cannot appreciate the process of God’s
love. The natural mind will always interpret God’s loving acts
as hindrances and interruptions in his affairs.
When you are plugged into God, you will then understand His
precepts for relationship, the concepts of God’s will becomes
real to those who are in God, your taste and prejudices become
irrelevant and waiting doesn’t become an issue any longer.
Compromise isn’t an option and waiting is enjoyable when you are
in God and you stay with Him. We can only get anxious when we
unplug ourselves from God and enter into the depressing field of
worries and anxiety.
TRUST GOD
Trusting God can be pretty hard and difficult, but we’ve got no
other options if we want to get the best. Our faith in God must
survive the fiercest level of scrutiny. Beloved, trusting God is
not possible if there is no understanding of His purpose for
your life, most at times people don’t seem to have the strength
to trust because they don’t understand the thoughts behind God’s
pathways,” I may not know too, but I am pretty sure that He will
come”, that’s the reason why I don’t mind waiting on God.
Way back in the scriptures, not a single person missed it while
waiting, why would I miss it….you can choose amiss, but you
cannot wait on God amiss, He will surely come…and don’t ask me
when, because I don’t know, but I’m sure He will come….
REDEFINE YOUR PURPOSE FOR WANTING A RELATIONSHIP
Several questions about relationships are very personal and must
be answered sincerely so that you can build a solid foundation.
The purpose for which you want a relationship will determine to
what degree you’d wait. How badly do you want a relationship in
the New Year, ‘age isn’t on your side either, and then you feel
it will be too late if you miss it again..’
We don’t enter into relationship because of status or pressure
from friends and families, but because of purpose, when you are
in a relationship with the wrong motives, you will lack
direction and stress out.
LEAN ON GOD NOT ON YOURSELF
It takes God to build a relationship, it doesn’t matter how
good you think you are or suitable for people. Most times the
best people don’t always get the best therefore get rid of every
self-aggrandizement and self-applause. Lean neither on your
beauty nor wealth rather trusts God for your life.
Don’t you ever get into the temptation of thinking that you are
the best and others are subordinates to you, God gave us
dominion over all things but not on humans. Don’t conclude that
every relationship will end up in marriage, you should
understand that you’ll need others so therefore; esteem every
relationship and friendship than the urge to marry.
LEARN FROM EXPERIENCES
The past is God’s tool of redefining your present and
straightening your future, you are not supposed to stay in your
past, however you can take clues from it and learn from it.
Experiences are part of the landscape of God’s training and we
must never be weary to walk in them when faced with similar
challenges in the now. What God did and didn’t do are important
prospectuses that we can refer to in the now and future. Learn
from your past experiences but don’t define your now and
tomorrow with them.
In conclusion, as you enter in to the New Year, let God and
enjoy watching God do what He intends to do. Believe Him and
don’t get in His way, you will be glad you did, because the
peace of God beyond understanding will keep your heart and mind.
I am in love with all of you
