UNFINISHED!

Before Saying I Do, You Better Know You

                                          Scripture: 1Corinthians 7:7

The most expensive purchase in life is not a house or a car, but who you marry.

1. YOUR "SINGLENESS" IS A GIFT!

So...Enjoy Your Singleness...
God has a purpose for your single season. Paul is enthused about singleness!
    a. Paul is not saying everyone has the gift to be "celibate"
    b. Paul acknowledged that the celibate could be single,
        but that the single could not necessarily be celibate.

    Before saying I do...
2. YOU HAVE TO DISCOVER YOU FIRST!
Most people don't know who they're, for they're too busy trying to know other people
Most people will not stay single "long enough" to know "WHO" God has for them

    Before saying I do...
3. DID THE OTHER PERSON PROSPER IN THEIR SINGLENESS?!
What have they accomplished in their single days?

    Before saying I do...
4. THE PERSON YOU MARRY HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE TO YOUR CALLING!
  a. Do they complement your calling? Do they fit your gifting?
  b. If there's no compatibility, they will compete with you
  c. Your assignment has been given to "him" or "her" too
        (their "calling" will complement yours)

Mistake...
5. DON'T SPEND YEARS TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE COMPATIBLE
  a. Your calling requires a whole new set of friends
  b. Be aware of who you still have hanging around you in your purpose

                    The person you meet before you discover your calling
                      is not always the person you need for your calling!

                    The person you need for your calling will be far different
                          than the person you met before your calling!

WHAT TO DO WHILE SINGLE?
Honor your single season! How?
  a. "SINGLE" DOES NOT MEAN  TO "MINGLE!"
  b. Get to know God!
  c. Discover you!
  d. Start praying for your "future" spouse!
  e. Get moving in your calling!
  f.  Prepare you, for who God is preparing for you!

IF YOU HONOR YOUR SINGLE SEASON
  a. GOD WILL NOT "SEND" YOU A LOSER
  b. Ask God to block the wrong person!
