The Youth Officer of Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide Pastor Samson O. Gbuyiro has urged singles to see marriage the way God sees it, without which error and failure become inevitable.
The Youth Officer who told the singles that why they will marry is as important as who they will marry noted that marital choice is the most crucial and significant decision that is central to destiny fulfillment.
Pastor Gbuyiro said this while ministering on the topic "Choosing A Right Partner" at the just concluded Academic Summit organised by the Youth Department of CAC Worldwide at Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU), Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun state.
He further said that marital choice goes beyond choosing a business partner, a roommate or prayer partner, adding that the choice of marital partner you make as single will affect your entire life.
According to him, much happiness in life depends on marital choice, stating categorically that it is better to be single and be alone than to be married to a wrong person.
The Youth Officer who said desperation in the area of marital choice leads to frustration, advised Christian singles not to be yoked with anyone who is not yoked with Christ.
"If you rush into marriage, you may end up with someone who will bury your dreams and destiny. If you desire to go far in life, you must work on making a right choice in marriage. The right to choose makes you responsible for your life's fortunes and misfortunes, especially in marriage. Nobody will accept the blame of your marital failure because it is your choice," he stated.
While speaking on the required attitudes to make a right choice, Pastot Gbuyiro advised Christian singles to think deeply of fundamental truths about life, accept responsibility, show commitment and have unreserved and complete mind set for God's intervention.
"You are not far away from deceit and destruction if you make outward look your first step. Learn from Esau, Samson, Jacob and Dinah whom this error left a scars after successfully running their glorious destinies," he explained.
The cleric advised singles to be committed to God in obedience and prayer, adding that they should regularly study the word of God for illumination and revelation.
