traits. Nobody wants to spend the rest of their life with someone who has major character issues. Laziness, arrogance, bad temper, lying, cheating, deceit, hypocrisy etc. has hindered so many people from being in a relationship. ·Spiritual Complications: Some people are single because of spiritual complications, time will not permit me to go into details. Several years ago I met a lady who shared her testimony with me; despite the fact that she was very attractive, educated and of good character, she languished in the wilderness of singleness for long against her expectations, men would come but would leave after a short while for no traceable reason, this went on for a while until she eventually discovered that according to the family tradition, she was offered as an offering to a deity her ancestors regard as god. As a result of this, these spirits jealously intruded in her relationship life and ensured no man stayed in her life. She eventually gave her life to Christ and was set free, today she is happily married. Negative soul ties, living in sin etc. can bring about some complications that can hinder you spiritually, if you find yourself in this condition, I want you to know that there is power in the name of Jesus to set you free from every and any form of spiritual complications. There are many circumstances that can make someone desirous of being in a relationship remain single, poor appearance, poor communication, refusing to mingle and many more things has hindered so many single people from being in a relationship. There is nothing too difficult for God to do, however it is important you asses yourself to make sure you are not hindering yourself unconsciously. God desires the best for all of his children, speak to God freely in your closet, tell him exactly how you feel and exactly what you want Him to do in your life and He will show Himself strong in your life. May your life glorify God regardless of your marital/ relationship status. Abraham Jones is an author, speaker and a relationship expert.
