God will help you find spouse

He also encouraged the unmarried to trust God to send them the appropriate spouse in the right time, in the same way that He put Joseph and Mary together.

Chankersingh began, “I want to talk to you about your family connection.

I want to especially talk to those of you who are not yet married, to draw to your attention that God handpicked Joseph and Mary for each other. Yes, He did. God handpicked Joseph and Mary for each other.

Not only because He was interested in their individual futures, He was more interested about his eternal plan and where they fit in.

Some of you like my own son and his wife have got three beautiful teenagers this morning, and there are many families in the church where there are lovely teenagers. I was praying with one family last Sunday after church and I was surprised at their little girl, who I had just met a few days ago had just turned 16. And I turned to her mother and said ‘In two years time, you’re going to have a young woman on your hands,’ and sometimes that thought can be frightening…You know how important a choice that is.” For this reason, Chan kersingh explained, it is important for individuals to leave that matter in the hands of God since He has their best interest at heart and a plan for their lives. The wrong mate, he continued, could mean “Heaven or Hell.” With regards to those already married – what Chankesingh referred to as “the mature marriage” – desiring some change in their family life or who are about to throw in the towel on toilsome marriages, Chankersingh reminded them of the miracle that God did for Zacharias and Elisabeth, an elderly couple spoken of in Luke 1:1-25, who had been praying for years on end to God for a child, but gave up since they had already grown old. Nonetheless, while they “had closed the book on that,” said Chankersingh, “God didn’t.” In due time, he continued, God blessed them with a son.

“…Could it be that you are on the verge of receiving an answer to prayer, that you might have prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed, and all the natural circumstances dictate to you, it’s time to give up. It’s too late now.

That can’t happen; God can’t answer that prayer. Well, the Christmas Story talks about that. And when the angel brought the message to this couple, this barren couple, Zacharias and Elisabeth, they were both shocked. And they laughed.

They said, ‘How can this be?’ And we have that great verse, Luke 1:37, ‘For with God, nothing shall be impossible.’ That’s in the Christmas story, and not is it only in the Christmas story, it particularly pertains to your family life.

Can God touch your family this morning? Can God release a particular blessing in your family this morning that will leave you with your mouth open? Your jaw dropped because you didn’t think that God could do it? You thought it was impossible? “Hear the Word of the Lord to this couple, a family and it’s a part of the Christmas Story.

‘For with God, nothing shall be impossible.’ And it may not be that your desire is to have a natural child, a biological child, like Zacharias and Elisabeth, it may be some other quote on quote barren area of your life that has not produced.”
