Before you say, “I WILL & I DO” let’s review your checklist of that ideal MR RIGHT you have in mind. Does he have Ears, Eyes, Tongue, Nose, Nerves and Brain? Yeah I know this sounds like a very stupid question to ask, but there is a principle of scriptural learning that says all truth is parallel.
This means in order to understand a spiritual truth, you need to first look at the natural things you can see. (Mathew 6:10, 1 Corinthians 15:46).
Did you notice that the five sense organs listed are located in the HEAD? This is why I often tell people don’t look for MR RIGHT, what you need is a HEAD!
This post is not about the human anatomical unit that consists of the skull, hyoid bone and cervical vertebrae. We are looking at something very spiritual; using the five sense organs located in the head.The Ears:- This ideal man that you have in mind; Can he hear God when He speaks? Does he listen to his Pastor, Parent and those whom God has placed over him? If the answer is No, you can be sure he won’t listen to you. If a man cannot hear from God, how do you expect him to hear and listen to you? The time you spend with him and the conversations you have will give an idea who and what he listens to. Every great and successful man has someone [a leader] who talks to them and whom they hear from regularly. If your conversation with him indicates that he does not hear from God and his Pastor, my Sister it’s never too late to do the right thing.
The Eyes:- Spiritual eyes are to the Soul and Spirit what the physical eyes are to the body. Are you familiar with the phrase “blind as a bat”? I need not say much about this, I am sure you don’t want a ‘batman’ as a life partner. Joel 2:28 “…your young men will see visions.” 5senses.png?w=529He can only take you as far as his eyes can see.
Trust me he may not have it all together yet, but when you see a man that knows where he is going, you will know it. His vision will always be consistent with his character, disposition, values, ideals, words and more importantly actions. The extent of his vision is the boundary of how far he can take you in life and ultimately in God. I am not speaking of a man who is daydreaming, I am talking about a man who can see ahead to guide and lead the team.
Don’t be blinded by what you call “love” to realise that the Bros can’t see beyond his nose. Matthew 15:14 (AMPC) says “…And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.”I my next post I will writing about the Tongue, the Nose and the Nerves. I thought I should keep this short and complete in another post. Until then, remember the world can be a better place if we can work on the man in the mirror.
Cheers!
