And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. Exodus 2 : 1-2 KJV
If you are an incomplete single lady you will meet an incomplete man, get married and have an incomplete home. Therefore, you should have and live a complete life. Why? Because marriage does not complete a person, we are born complete from our birth. There are four things we should understand about being a complete man or woman.
- We are someone’s child (son/daughter) and we must be profitable in all our ways. Being profitable is in two ways, the biological and spiritual son-ship. In the biological we must be a fruitful child to our parents, honouring them and ensuring that they live a life that blesses us in every way. We must never get to a level when we do not give honour to our parents. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Exodus 20:12 KJV. We must never be rude to our parents irrespective of what they do, because life is governed by the principles set out by God. For your life to have beauty, you must take care of your parents and the parents of your spouse. How are your parents back at home? Are they hungry? Are they shedding tears? Be a profitable son; be a profitable daughter. Procure your future by being kind to your parents. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison. And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27: 2-3 KJV. We must also honour our spiritual parents. As children of God we must ensure that the man of God in our life partakes in our sweat. Let them be a blessing to us. It is important in our lives. We must have that person in our life that is a spiritual parent who will stand in the gap for us. These spiritual parents we must honour so we can be fruitful spiritually which will manifest in the physical. By honouring who we should honour, we would not see dishonor.
- We must be an extraordinary man or woman. Do not live for yourself alone, let your life bless all the people that you come in contact with. The poor are looking at you, let them benefit from your life. An extraordinary life comes from being a giver, making people happy and putting a smile in the hearts of the people around you and in your life.
- You must be an award-winning wife or husband. Your life partner must be able to say that you deserve the award of the best spouse. Make up your life to make your marriage work. Except physical abuse or your life is at stake; do all you can to be an award-winning wife or husband. If as a woman your financial life is totally dependent on your husband then your life is incomplete. If as a wife you cannot celebrate your spouse with the money you have earned with your own hard work, then you need to have a rethink of your life. Every man wants an asset and not a liability. They want to have a wife who would not be a burden in the home. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land Proverbs 31: 14-15, 23 KJV
- Women/husband need to be validated by their spouse. As a man and husband, we must make time for our spouse. Do not be too spiritual that you do not have time for your partner. As a woman let your husband feel good, as a man let your wife feel good. Bring romance back to your marriages. Do not use spirituality as an excuse to against your spouse’s needs.
