The Assistant District Women’s Ministry Leader of the Church of Pentecost, Mannheim District in Germany has advised singles not to be anxious and feel pressured by family and friends because being single is not a crime.
She made this known when she was speaking at the maiden edition of the Singles Conference organised by the Mannheim District on Saturday 29th June, 2024 held in Freiburg, Germany.
She stated that, sometimes in the state of singleness, some people begin to ask themselves questions such as “Why am I still Single?, why is no one coming?” among others. This she said brings anxiety which eventually leads to wrong decision making.
“As a Christian, always remember that Jesus Christ is your first love, and for that reason build a strong relationship with him” she added.
She advised singles to be vigilant when choosing a partner because some people can be deceptive.
According to Dcns. Opoku, one of the issues singles are faced with is insecurity. “when you feel insecure and confused as you prepare for marriage, stop, take your time and deal with the situation carefully. Don’t allow the person to lead you into an accident.” She stressed.
The assistant District Women’s Ministry leader revealed that, sometimes some Christians are lured into toxic relationships because they did not take their time to wait on God.
Quoting from 2 Corinthians 6:14 which says that “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?”, she advised singles, and the youth to be vigilant in their quest of finding the right person to marry.
