During my devotional time today, I was reading my T.D. Jakes Woman Thou Art Loosed! Bible. (This is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received). I came across this message for my fellow Singleton sisters (this message can also apply to the single male).
God’s Handmaidens
Some of you do not understand the benefits of being single. In reality, while you’re not married, you really ought to be involved with God. Single women often forget some very important advantages they have. At five o’clock in the morning, you can lie in bed and pray in the spirit until seven-thirty. You can lie prostrate on the floor and worship the Lord without having to answer to anyone. This time in your life is for you to charge up the battery cells. It’s time to pamper-time to take luxurious baths in milk and honey. You can lie there in the bath , praising and worshiping the Lord for as long as you want.
Before you ask the Lord for another man, take care of Him. If you are not ministering to His needs, and yet you are always before Him asking Him to send you one of His princes to minister to, your prayers are not being heard because you are not being faithful to Him. When you become faithful in your singleness, then you will be better prepared to be faithful with a husband.
If you disregard the perfect husband, Jesus, you will certainly disregard the rest of us. The Lord wants you to come home at the end of a day and say, “Lord, I went through so much today. I am so glad You’re here. I just couldn’t wait to get alone and worship You and praise You and magnify You. Tonight is our night. I’m not so busy that I don’t have time for You.” If you don’t have time for God, you don’t have time for a husband.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be married. Simply take care of the Lord while you’re waiting. Minister to Him. Let Him heal you and loose you, and worship Him. Single women ought to be the most consecrated women in the church. You are the ones whose shadows ought to fall on people and they be healed. You are in a position and posture of prayer. The Lord has become your necessary food. While some married women are dependent on their husbands, single women learn to be dependent on the Lord. God told Joel, “…and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit” (Joel 2:29). There is a special relationship between God and the single believer. God has a special anointing for the woman who is free to seek Him. Her prayer life should explode in miracles!

I pray this word touches your heart & spirit!
Until next time.
