    Since 18, I have been judged by peers due to my singleness. I have been called weird, cold. I was told that “I am wasting my youth.” I must admit that I have been pressurising myself to find a boyfriend, not for me, but to stop those comments.
    I’ve always struggled with relationships and I have found the explanation: I just simply love being single. I enjoy my alone time, not having to answer to anyone, not being worried if I’m being cheated on. I like focusing on myself. I will not lie, I eventually do want to marry, and that guy will be special because I will “want” him, not “need” him. That guy will complement my life, not be my life because I simply love being single.
    Ladies, it is okay to be single. Do not fall into what society expects from you. If you want to be in a relationship then so be in one, but do not force yourself into it.
    Today, at 21, I accept myself & pray to fill myself in so much of God’s love that peoples’ opinion & perception of me will not affect me.

      Information is Key.
      And Information-Control is a bad, negative, bad, not-good Thing.
      So much so that even Apocalypse-Novels and -Storys often use it.
      And sadly, the brutal truth is that Christianity does it a lot.
      You are actively discouraged to ‚not listen to non-believers’,
      which is a dangerous Mindset.
      Ignoring other ideas, never informing yourself about other Religions,
      let alone Atheism. Thats all very, very bad, tbh.
      Even old Texts say it: „Only a Fool drinks Water from just one Fountain.“
      Its well known that its healthy to inform yourself
      and that its actually resembles more ‚Weak Faith’ if you never listen to
      Atheists and other Religions and such. If anything, it shows weak Faith in your
      own Religion, if you dont ‚dare’ to question it, question yourself, question those that feed you Info.
      And to say it brutally: If you just get fed Info from just 1 Source; your simply naive and gullable. Easy zu manipulate.
      So go and check out many Sources and Factions; you live in a Rich, diverse World,
      so do not limit yourself and also dont let anyone limit you.

    For all my single brothers and sisters watching this, I do want you to know that being content in singleness does not mean it's wrong for you to feel s3xual attraction. If there is one thing God has taught me about singleness it's that that is not something to be ashamed of. Being content in our singleness does not take away our humanity, or even our desire to feel loved, it just means we surrender those feelings over to God and trust that he will give us what we NEED.

    I started to watch pastor Michael just a week ago, and I have to say and give testimony that God is definitely using you to reach out to people such as myself. Thank you for reminding me that God has a plan, he has a purpose for me and without him I will never reach my purpose. May God bless you and continue to use you as such an inspiration. Thank your for preaching in a way that I can understand and feel the need to come back for more because I want more, I want to learn more of my God!

    The fact that he mentioned the more you’re single the better you’ll be when u get married hit home. When u know how to love yourself the right ain’t nobody can love you less and you settle for it. Once you love God he teaches you how to love yourself, and a person that love his/herself knows how to give love and what to expect from love.

      "something new". That's the wrong mindset to get into dating. Use your time single to work on your gifts and maximise them, and learn how to depend on God.
      If it's God's will for you to date, then the time will come. Until then, focus on yourself.

In yesterday I was running listening to Steve Harvey motivational speech and this sermon came on (All God). I made a decision to listen to this and I mean I have been made the better! All I can do is say Thank you Lord for my singleness and not settling! Let me keep running and enjoying my singleness and learn who I am so I can know my place, purpose, identity and make parameters during my time. I am so thankful for this!!!!

      I think the essential component to this was not just singleness but rather the component of singleness (whole), that is, 1. One with God 2. One with God. Living the singleness outside of God leads to knit picking. "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." So it's not about inability to deal with opposite sex but taking time to commune with The Lord. 🙏

We are not interviewing you for a job, LOL. Now, if you had said you're a kind, loving, supportive, submissive, caring, thoughtful, modest, intelligent, motherly and Godly woman who loves caring for her man, staying fit and healthy, building with him and can cook well, that would've been saying something. Just sharing some insight into what quality men are seeking. Stay blessed.

    I’m 29 and single. I was in a 5 year relationship and the guy broke up with me on the phone coz of distance and he quickly began dating another lady. He came back and said he was so stupid and at that time I was fasting and praying for a husband. I was prayerful but desperate as well. I just thought that this is it. He is the one for me. And before that I prayed to God saying I will not be intimate with my future partner, I will wait and be pure in His word. But when my ex came back into my life I didn’t commit to that mainly coz I didn’t want to lose him. So I put him first instead of God and sadly I was okay with that. Now he broke up again with me after a year of dating. I just feel pressured now to get married and desperate. After watching this, I praise God that I’m single coz I need to know God’s anointed and destined place for me, purpose, provision, identity and parameters. Thank you Lord.

      Information is Key.
      And Information-Control is a bad, negative, bad, not-good Thing.
      So much so that even Apocalypse-Novels and -Storys often use it.
      And sadly, the brutal truth is that Christianity does it a lot.
      You are actively discouraged to ‚not listen to non-believers’,
      which is a dangerous Mindset.
      Ignoring other ideas, never informing yourself about other Religions,
      let alone Atheism. Thats all very, very bad, tbh.
      Its well known that its healthy to inform yourself
      and that its actually resembles more ‚Weak Faith’ if you never listen to
      Atheists and other Religions and such. If anything, it shows weak Faith in your
      own Religion, if you dont ‚dare’ to question it, question yourself, question those that feed you Info.
      And to say it brutally: If you just get fed Info from just 1 Source; your simply naive and gullable. Easy zu manipulate.
      So go and check out many Sources and Factions; you live in a Rich, diverse World,
      so do not limit yourself and also dont let anyone limit you.
      Listen to Christians you never talked before; also Ex-Christians; also Atheists;
      And even Architects, Florists, Monks, Bankers, Programmers; all this and more. Dont deny yourself the Richness of this World. And get more Info.

    “When you complete in yourself you can be choosy”
    Currently where I’m at right now after being single for 3 years while drawing closer to God each day and building myself as a young man to take care of myself. When you know who you are in God, you pay way more attention when you date. But out of encouragement to my young people, even though kissing and holding hands to me isn’t a bad thing, while dating be careful because all types of physicality can make it harder to move on and choose whose best for you.

      I'm in a growth group, and it was strange to me at first because I'm the only single. Yet God PLACED me there for a purpose, not to 'single me out' but because it's what I needed, and what THEY needed. There is no hiding behind 'rose colored glasses' and some of them are on their 2nd marriage, not completely healed from what went wrong from the 1st. I've discovered that THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with having a deep desire to be connected to another person, but I have to ask God daily ' Am I the right person, for You?' We have to learn to stand on our own, our spouse could die unexpectedly... that doesn't make us any less valuable to God. Even if we have the right business partners, the friends, the mentors, a husband/wife, children... we can still FEEL lonely... because we're lonely for GOD! He is the only one we have, in every circumstance!

And there were moments when I just thought, ‘God if I can have this relationship with this girl now. It will make me complete!’ But God has led me back here, this week, back to this message, and it spoke to me in a whole new level. To cut things short, I am genuinely happy, (for the first time), in my current singleness, and I’m ready to head out to the deep, to what God has called me out to do! Hallelujah!

    Why doesn't the church talk about this though? I've constantly seen marriage placed on this holy, otherworldly pedestal and every single person is desperately trying to get out this season like its a terrible disease. I hope messages like this are continued to be preached through out churches and people feel more content in their singleness. Most churches I've encountered have become nothing but marriage breeding grounds where people don't even want to develop as an individual first, which is sad. I have struggled with this myself which has led me to go to a more all inclusive, welcoming church that is not so incredibly focused on relationship and child status. I truly believe God is not so focused on our relationship status and loves us just as we are!

This honestly made me thankful to be single. For the first time in my life I am not only okay with being single but actually thankful!! Thank you God! And thank you Pastor!!
