WHY IT SEEMS YOURS IS DELAYED: GOD IS MAKING YOU A HELPMEET - Positioned For Divine Attention Series 003
Genesis 2:18, KJV
"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
I am here to announce to you why it seems since God told you He was making you your helpmeet, you haven't seen Him return with the fellow. "Why hasn't the lady been in view? I don't even know who she is except the Lord shows me."
I know why it has taken time and I know why it's taking time. It is a very simple but delicate reason. When God comes to the realization of Adam needing a mate, He says, it's not good that the man should be alone, I will therefore make him a helpmeet.
It is possible for a man or woman to grow to a place in life where the parents out of care begin to say, "it is not good for you to be alone again." They can see his or her purposeful living - pursuing an excellent career or calling that's doing well. They even know he or she is mature age wise for marriage. Knowing all these, they advocate for a partner. At times, the advice for a partner would come to some people because there's beginning to be a space or role for a helpmeet to play in their lives and is beginning to be obvious. Someone could say, "imagine this big house, should you be the only one in it? You've travelled away for months, shouldn't you have someone who takes thought for you in our place or don't you think you need a partner to help simplify and help you with certain things you're beginning to bug yourself with?"
Mothers are even funnier. They'll say, "bring me a husband/wife" as if they're the ones who want to marry.
God said, "I will make Adam a helpmeet" in verse 18 of Genesis 2. However, the helpmeet in Eve was not brought until verse 22 of the same chapter.
Genesis 2:22, KJV
"And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."
When God said He would make Adam a wife, He meant it. What God wants you to see is that "making" takes time. The usage of the word, "make" means "I'll settle down and prepare someone suitable for Adam and his needs." That's why God while speaking of the woman He'll give to Adam called her a "helpmeet." Adam has an assignment already. The woman who'll be given her will be someone who can locate herself into that same assignment. Not someone who can't go for foreign missions and forget home because she's a city girl. If Adam is a missionary, he must have an intercessor and a strong woman as a wife. Either a woman that can endure and survive at home with the kids until he shows up from the field or that can bear that life together with him on the field. The fellow must need be a helpmeet - someone who'll be close in assisting in carrying out and fulfilling the daily visions and assignments of the man. That's why it's not every woman who can marry a man of God. Why? If you're not their Helpmeet, you cannot endure the sufferings and reproach that goes with their being called. Many of you think many women want to be pastors' wives. No! You're wrong! They're running from it because many ladies know it's a call to serious sacrifice. "Helpmeet" is someone created to suit or meet certain needs in your life. Let's say, you have a farm. Weeding the farm requires both the use of a cutlass and a hoe. However, you only have a cutlass. If your blacksmith friend visits you and sees the need for a hoe in your life and promises to make you a hoe, it means he'll need to pass through the process of beating steel or iron into making you the finished product that all of us can see and later call a hoe. That was what God intended to do for Adam. To make him a tailor fit helpmeet! If you'll take time to consider the due process that goes into the making of Eve, you'll see that indeed God took time and initiative to create her. That attention that God gives in giving each and everyone of us our rightful correct mate is what we call "making." For Adam, God had to cause him to sleep (so He won't interrupt or intercept God in the making), pick out one of his ribs, close the place up thereof and then make that same rib into the woman.
After the making process, Adam could only have one testimony to share, "indeed, this is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh: she shall be called a woman because she was taken out of man."
Don't rush! God's thoughts for you are of good and of welfare, to give you a hope and a future (Jer.29:11). God is making for you a spouse. A man with a fatherly heart, instructions from above and riches to take care of you. God is making you a woman - one who'll be fashioned after women of old and not esteem the cladding of oneself in wonderful apparels above developing the inner person. A submissive and helpful woman she'll be. Let God take His time. Don't interrupt this process by seeking to end your bachelorhood or spinsterhood yourself. Let it be that God Almighty who sees your need and announces to you He's making for you a spouse will be the same One to end that season when He eventually links you up with the fellow. That's when you can testify like Adam and say, "indeed, I couldn't have married better than this. This is indeed the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh. She was specially made for me - to suit me, meet my needs and fit what I'll become or face."
Amen!
PRAYER: Lord, help me to trust You every inch of the way to receiving my own helpmeet. May patience have its full effect on me.
