Single women often face pressure from the society to always settle down and starts a family right away. Although women h ave various reasons for not hooking up on a relationship and marriage as a whole, it’s considered a ‘unconventional’ to remain single when you attain a certain age.
For Nigerian singer Chidinma, being single is the best time to develop a close relationship with God. Chidinma explained that while there is nothing wrong with wanting to get married, one also needs to wait on the Lord while worshiping him and ministering to him.
She wrote:
Some of you do not understand the benefits of being single, while you’re not married, you ought to be involved with God. At 5am you can lie in bed and pray in the spirit, you can lie on the floor and worship, you can lie in the bath, praising and worshiping for as long as you want.
The Lord wants you to come home at the end of the day and say ‘Lord, I went through so much today, I couldn’t wait to get home to worship you, I’m glad you’re here’. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be married, just take care of the Lord while you’re waiting, minister to Him and worship Him. You’re in a position and posture of prayer. The Lord has become your necessary food.
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.
