Church: Bible Christian Baptist Church – Rosario, Cavite
Pastor:
Ministry in the Church: Pastor

Questions:

1. Did you wait for your life time partner?

YES.

2. How did you wait for him or her? How long?

The waiting starts from the moment you start praying for one. I started praying for a lifetime partner
when I entered the Bible College.

3. What are the challenges you encountered in waiting for a lifetime partner?
Lack of faith which may result to being impatient and taking matters in your own hands

4. What exactly did you wait for, the person, the right circumstances, or what?
The right person will come in the right place at the right time. One who is busy doing the general will of
God (pray, study, witness, give, serve) will know the specific will of God.

5. How did you know that your lifetime partner at present is God’s will for you?
Several factors:
a. Your desire will match with God’s design
b. The sound counsel of spiritual men.
c. Much prayer
d. Much study of the Scriptures
e. Peace that passes all understanding
f. Opposition. The will of God will always face adversity.
g. Living right. PROVERBS 11:3 Is KEY.
h. Compatibility and Complementary tests

6. What are your standards for a lifetime partner that you are waiting for?
---

7. What does waiting for a lifetime partner really mean? Why it is important?
A lifetime partner is your spouse. The Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes said that there is nothing
better for man than to enjoy his life with his wife.(Eccl 9:9) It is important because it is a permanent
decision. It can make you or break you. The design of God in marriage is one man, one woman, one
lifetime.

8. Is there a right waiting and wrong waiting for a lifetime partner?

YES.
Right waiting with a good positive attitude that God knows what He is doing and I must trust His
promise that those who delight themselves in the Lord will be given the desires of their hearts.

9. What are the benefits when we wait for a lifetime partner?

There is blessing in waiting. The perfect will of God will come in God’s perfect time.

10. What would be your advice to those who desire a lifetime partner?
*Some principles:
A. CHARACTER – focus on being the right person than finding the right person
B. CONFRIMTION – Be willing to submit to godly authority like pastors and parents
C. CONTENTMENT - If you are not satisfied in God alone, you will never be satisfied with anyone else
D. COMMON GROUND – A believer should only develop a relationship with another Christian
E. CULTIVATION – Focus on spiritual growth first
F. COMPLEMENTARIAN – Know your strengths and weaknesses and your God-given roles
G. COMMITMENT – Love is a matter of commitment more than it is an emotion.
H. COMMUNICATION – Listening and humility is key
I. COMPANIONSHIP – Make sure that you know the person before you decide that he or she is “the one”
J. CHASTITY – Keep thyself pure.
