Who comes in First place?

  

  In your Godly relationship, if the person you are dating is truly of God. They to will be looking out for their relationship, finding the right one and being extra careful not to sin. At this point in your relationship you have been going out for a few months or possibly just about a year or more. You need to prove that you are of God, not only to God but to your partner and even to yourself. “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves…” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

 What do I mean by this? I mean, do all that you possibly can to show that you are serious about making this relationship work. Continue doing what you did to get this person. Don’t stop being spiritual because you already got what you wanted. It’s not all over yet!

   Seek the Holy Spirit with all your heart. Regardless to whether you have the Holy Spirit or not. Continue to seek His presence, you need Him so much. Especially at this time in your life which is so critical. You want to succeed and do your part in this relationship without sinning. So seek, seek, seek and seek. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7: 7-8. Read your bible daily, meditate on His word. In general give your time and effort to God so that He can help you to overcome your flesh.

   Go to church as much as you can, be firm in the church, do as much as you can. Ask your pastor what you can do to help or what is needed. This proves to God that you are ready, that you are willing to do anything for Him to help and strengthen you both Physically/Spiritually and in this relationship. Give your time, energy, love and strength to God. Put Him above anyone. Put Him above your partner. Again PUT HIM ABOVE YOUR PARTNER. This is very important. Many times couples instead of putting God first, they put their partner first and that is completely wrong. It (The Relationship) won’t in any way work. How could it? God is the one that needs to be put first; not another human.

How to put God first:

• By giving Him most of your time, energy and love.

 

• If you are planning to go out with your partner, or speak to him/her on the phone before you have read the bible and seek the Holy Spirit for the day. Hold off on speaking or going out until you have done your daily part with God.

 

• Putting God first is your most important step. Instead of doing something for your partner, do something for God first. Before going out and speaking to your partner on the phone telling him/her how much you love them. First get on your hands and knees and thank God for what He has done for you. Tell Him how much you love Him. As is written our God is a jealous God. ” For I, the Lord your God am a jealous God…” Exodus 20:5.
