Powerful Prayer Points For 2018

The Mountain of Escape: When God brought judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot was exempted, by the Lord, through the intercession of Abraham. The angels that went into Sodom and Gomorrah for the execution of God’s judgment helped Lot and instructed him, “to escape to the mountain, lest he be consumed”. This mountain was reserved, as a place of escape from destruction, for Lot and his family, although Lot rejected this mountain and chose for himself another city (Genesis 19:1-23). 



There is a mountain of escape, for every child of God. There is a mountain of escape for us provided by the Lord.  Our families must not suffer with the world. In 2018, by prayer and intercession, we are securing the mountain of divine exemption, for members of our household, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer Points:

1. Let us appreciate the Lord for January 2018, for His faithfulness and goodness, towards us and members of our family. (Psalms 107:21)

2. Let us begin to commit January 2018, into the hands of the Lord, that from the beginning to the end, the Lord shall be the Lord and God, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Psalms 18:2)

3. Let us declare and prophesy, that in Him we shall live, move and have our being, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Acts 17:28)

4. Let us declare and prophesy that, we and our household shall be established, on the top of the mountain of escape and divine exemption, in the name of Jesus Christ, (Genesis 19:17, Isaiah 2:1-2)

5. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, we shall not sing, with the world the song of sorrow, but, within our household, there be shall continuous songs of lifting and thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Job 22:29)

6. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, violence shall not be heard in our compound, neither wasting nor destruction in our borders, our wall shall be called salvation, and our gate praise, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 60:18)

7. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, we shall abide continually upon the mountain of escape and divine exemption, and we shall be far from oppression, and from terror, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 54:14)

8. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, we shall not be tempted beyond God’s grace upon our lives, and the way of escape shall remain open for us continually, in the midst of temptation, in name of Jesus, (1 Corinthians 10:13).

9. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, we shall enjoy supernatural Passover, in the midst of destruction, disaster or death, in the name of Jesus Christ (Exodus 12:13).

10. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, our household shall escape darkness, and enjoy constant supply of light, after the order of Goshen, no matter the intensity of darkness in the world, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Exodus 10:23)

11. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, darkness may cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but we shall be exempted; for our light shall shine, and the glory of the Lord shall stand evidently upon us, in the name of Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 60:1-2)

12. Let us declare and prophesy, that in 2018, a thousand may fall by our side, and ten thousand on our right hand, but we shall be exempted, from all forms of evil and wickedness, in the name of Jesus Christ, (Psalms 91:7-8)

May God Answer All Our Prayers In Jesus Name, Amen!!!

Open Heavens 18 September 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Restitution: Evidence of Salvation II

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2017

THEME: RESTITUTION: EVIDENCE OF SALVATION II    

Memorise:
"Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people." Acts 23:5

Read: Acts 23:1-5
23:1.  And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
23:2.  And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
23:3.  Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
23:4.  And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
23:5.  Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Message:
A.  A sign that confirms whether or not you have experienced genuine salvation is your willingness to make restitution with your fellow men.
1. When you are genuinely saved, The Spirit of Jesus Christ in you will motivate you to right your wrongs and undo your evil deeds.
2. An elderly judge once attended one of our meetings at the Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja (Lagos), and gave his life to Christ.
3. On his way home after the programme, he just could not contain himself.
4. There was a person he quarreled with several years before, and he had a burning urge to resolve the dispute; so right from the venue of the programme, he went straight to the house of the person in order to settle the matter.
5. Did you say you are saved, but you still hold grudges, have bitterness and manifest an unforgiving spirit?
6. Please examine yourself to be sure you are truly in Christ.

B.  Similarly, there was a particular king in Ogun State, Nigeria.
1. For several months, I went to preach to him and he would tell me “Before your mother married your father, I have been going to church.”
2. He would show me a Bible that Queen Victoria gave to his grandfather.
3. Repeatedly, I said to him, “Your royal highness, that is not what I am talking about.
4. I am asking you to repent of your sins and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.”
5. Then one day, he yielded and gave his life to Jesus.
6. By that time, he had not seen his wife for years, due to a disagreement they had.
7. Within days of giving his life to Christ, he promptly contacted her, and they resolved their differences.
8. You cannot be genuinely saved and refused to restitute.

C.  In what areas would you need to make restitution today?
1. If you stole anything from anybody, return it or pay for its replacement if it’s lost.
2. If you bore false witness against somebody, go and uncover the truth.
3. Have you fraudulently acquired your academic certificate? Go and restitute.
4. If you have stolen another person’s passport and impersonate the fellow, using the passport to move around, go and restitute.
5. Are you a second or third wife to a man, or have you married two or more wives? You are living in adultery. Make restitution!
6. Have you received payment for a contract you did not execute? Go and return the money!
7. Have you been falsifying records and stealing money through that? Go and restitute.
8. If you have tough cases, seek counseling from a pastor in a true Bible-believing church.
9. Also, ask God to help you.
10. If you really want to obey God, He will definitely make a way for you.

Key Point:
Salvation straightens your crooked paths with God, while restitution straightens your crooked path with men.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ezra 4-6
Ezekiel 42:15-43:12

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN:  TAKE MY LIFE!
1. Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

4.  Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5.  Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6.  Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
EMMANUEL=GOD WITH US!

Open Heavens 14 September 2017: Thursday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – He Deserves Your Thanks

HE DESERVES YOUR THANKS – Thursday September 14 th 2017
Memorise: O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:2

Read: Psalm 121:3-5 (KJV)
121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Bible in one year: 2 nd Chronicles 31-32, Ezekiel 40:35-47, Hymn: sing hymn 3


MESSAGE:
It is very important for you to give God thanks always. One reason why this is necessary is because there are several battles God fights for you that you know nothing about. Some people are so conservative when it comes to giving God thanks. They think they are clever, and so they only give God thanks when they believe He has earned it.


In other words, they only thank God when He has done something very “tangible” for them. If however it appears that He has not done anything for them, they hold back on offering thanks to Him. Such people may think they are smart, but they are not. When you are asleep, do you know the various battles waged against you by the enemies of your soul? How can you fight for yourself in a realm you are oblivious of or when you are asleep?


Many years ago, while still lecturing at the University of Ilorin (Kwara State, Nigeria), I had an experience that left its mark on my mind. In those days, I could travel from one end of the university campus to the other end within fifteen minutes. After my morning lectures, I could leave the campus, return home for lunch, and rest a while before returning for evening lectures. I was also the pastor of our church parish over there, and so people kept coming in and out of our living room. After my meal one afternoon, I lay down on the couch and closed my eyes so that I could get some rest.


As I lay down, I put my two hands together on my head and closed my eyes. Suddenly, someone entered the room, held my two hands with one hand and held my two legs with the other hand and tried to kiss me. At first, I thought it was my wife, but then it dawned on me that whoever could hold me up this way must be a very tall fellow.


I therefore opened my eyes and the creature disappeared. A cold shiver ran down my spine as I asked myself what this was. Eventually, I pushed the incident aside. Intending to drive back to the campus, I got into the car, but all of a sudden I had a running stomach and began to vomit. I virtually crawled from the car into the toilet.


Then I began to ask, “How could this happen to me?” God’s responses was, “Son, I just wanted you to see a little of the battles I fight for you, which you know nothing about.” For you to sleep peacefully every day, God does not sleep. He continues to watch over you. Why don’t you become really generous in thanking the Almighty God, who alone deserves all your thanks?



Prayer Point
Father, thank You for all You do for me, particularly for all the battles You fight on my behalf which I know nothing about.

Open Heavens 13 September 2017: Wednesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Giving Determines Promotion

GIVING DETERMINES PROMOTION – Wednesday September 13 th 2017
Memorise: Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. Deuteronomy 16:17

Read: Deuteronomy 16:16-17 (KJV)
16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord  thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord  empty:


16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
Bible in one year: 2 nd Chronicle 29-30, Ezekiel 40:20-34, Hymn: Sing hymn 10


MESSAGE:
When God commanded all males in Israel to appear before Him in today’s Bible reading, He specifically instructed that they should not come before Him empty-handed. He also instructed that whatever they brought to Him must be a reflection of the level of blessings they had received from Him. Based on these two parameters, can you say you have followed the divine pattern whenever you appear before God? Today, when God’s people assemble before Him, many of them do not care about what they bring as an offering, as long as they bring something. Do you know that God cares about this? For this reason, 2 nd Corinthians 8:12 says,
“For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.”


One year, during our annual thanksgiving service for pastors and ministers of our church, I told them that God expects them to bring an offering that reflects how much He has blessed them individually. Then I asked them this question: “Brethren, do you know that many of us demote ourselves by the offering we give? “They appeared surprised to hear this.


So I further explained that God knows us individually, and He knows the level to which He has blessed each on of us. He knows those who can afford to give N500 and those who are unable to give more than N100. If you are in the category of N1000 but give N500 per offering, you are indirectly saying to God, “Dear Lord, you made a mistake placing me in the category of givers of N1000. You should have left me in the category of givers of N500,” Then the Lord would reply, “I thought I promoted you, but if you want to demote yourself, no problem.” This is why some people are experiencing financial dryness. You are the one who told God that the level He placed you at is too high and that He should take you lower.


 I shared with my children that at the beginning of every year, I draw up a budget stating what I want to earn as my income for the year. Then I tell God that this is where I was last year but this is where I want to be by the year’s end. Thereafter, I start giving to reflect my expectations based on my target. I promote myself by giving beyond my present level, and I can tell you in unmistaken terms that God has never failed me, not even once. Before the end of the year, I would have already surpassed the limit I set for myself. How has it been with your life of giving? Make necessary adjustments today and key into your joy.


Key Point:
Giving at a level that matches the financial status of your expectations is a way to compel God to supernaturally upgrade you to that expected level.

Open Heavens 12 September 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Little Requests Limit God

LITTLE REQUESTS LIMIT GOD – Tuesday September 12 th 2017

Memorise: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1 st John 3:22


Read: James 1:5-6 (KJV)
1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Bible in one year: 2 nd Chronicles 26-28, Ezekiel 40:5-19, Hymn Sing hymn 3


MESSAGE:
The Lord Jesus Christ instructed us to ask until our joy is full ( John 16:24 ). Due to a lack of faith in God’s ability to meet our needs, many of us ask for crumbs, and by doing so, we insult or dishonour God. Are you one of such people? During one of our special programmes sometime ago, while in my prayer room, God took me up on this issue.


 He reminded me of an incident that happened several years before then, when I went to London to prepare our Sunday School manual. After finishing it, I still had three days to go before my flight was due, but I had completely run out of money. The kind of ticket I paid for on that trip was a cheap one and so it did not allow for rescheduling of dates. I felt I could go without food for three days but could not avoid buying certain materials, books and tapes that I needed. These would cost me £50 and I had no money. So I said, “Daddy, it would be good if I could get £50. “Shortly after, my phone rang and I picked it up. The fellow on the line said, “Biyi”. I told him there was nobody with that name there. He asked, “Is that not so and so number?”


As we talked, he got to know who I was and he screamed. He called out to his brother with excitement, telling him that he was speaking with me. Obviously, they had been discussing how they could see me and now I was on the phone with them. Eventually, they came over, we talked, and as they were leaving, they gave me £50. As soon as they left, I said, “Daddy, if I knew it would be this easy, I would have asked for £100!”


As I went upstairs in the apartment I was staying at, I rejoiced over the £50 I had just received. Just then, the door bell rang, and then it rang a second time. By this time, it was night already. Before I got to the door, the fellow at the door had slipped an envelope through the door into the room and left. I picked it up, opened it and realised it had come from a man I had known for a long time. He was a very wealthy man who was also very stingy. He had never given me a dime before. In the envelope was £50 and a note saying, “I just felt like giving you some money.” As I went towards the bedroom, I told God that if I had known this second £50 would come, I would have asked for another £50! That night, before I slept, another £50 came.


Then I became afraid and told God I was joking and did not want to offend Him. In my prayer room, the Lord told me I had been a foolish boy. “If you asked me for £50 and I could provide it, why didn’t you ask for £5000?” Are you trying to help God conserve His resources when you ask? He doesn’t need your help! Ask, and ask big! Don’t limit Him.


Key Point:
If the over seven billion inhabitants of the earth were ask their best from God, they still could not exhaust a drop of His resources.

Open Heavens 10 September 2017: Sunday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – He is at the Door!

HE IS AT THE DOOR! – Sunday September 10 th 2017
Memorise: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20

Read: Revelation 3:19-22 (KJV)
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Bible in one year: 2 nd Chronicles 21-23, Ezekiel 39:9-20, Hymn: sing hymn 12


MESSAGE:
God is a God of order, and Heaven is a place of order. Heaven is also a place where everything revolves around the will of the Owner: God. There is protocol in Heaven and a hierarchy or authority which must be respected. For this reason, when accessing God’s presence, the manner of approach really matters. How you enter into a room or house will determine whether you will be welcomed or chased out. Do you know that even God subjects Himself to the law of order? In
Revelations 3:20 , Jesus said,

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and opened the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”


Although God created us, He still has to knock and wait to be invited in before He enters into our hearts. Even though He created the space in your heart for Himself, He still doesn’t force Himself into that space. You are the one to decide if and when He should come in or not.


In Genesis 18:1-8 , Abraham saw some divine visitors near his tent. He ran to meet them, pleading for the opportunity to be hospitable to them. In this instance also, you can see that God waited to be invited in. similarly, in Genesis 19:1-3 , when the two angels arrived in Sodom, Lot invited them in to spend the night. Also, in 2 nd Kings 4:8 , Elisha was just passing by when the Shunammite woman invited him into her house for lunch, and even though he said he was not hungry, the woman practically compelled him to come in. From that day forward, whenever Elisha passed by, he stopped over at her house.
God waits to be invited in because of His humility, and due to the fact that He does not want to impose Himself on us.

Also, He created us as free moral agents and not as zombies or robots: He wants us to be free to express our own will. In addition, He wants us to be able to bear the consequences of our actions and not hold Him responsible for what we do. He also wants to be able to determine if we truly love Him and whether we desire to fellow Him or not. If you are not yet born again, you have been keeping the Saviour waiting all these years. Please answer the knock on the door of your heart, kindly invite Jesus in, and surrender you whole life to Him. Doing this is in your own interest.


Action Point:
Invite Jesus into every area of your life from which you have shut Him out.

Open Heavens 9 September 2017: Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Only His Will

ONLY HIS WILL – Saturday September 9 th 2017
Memorise: Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to the partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Colossians 1:12
Read: Colossians 1:12-13 (KJV)

1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Ephesians 2:1-2 (KJV)
2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Bible in one year: 2 nd Chronicles 19-20, Ezekiel 38:17-39:8, Hymn: Sing hymn 6


MESSAGE:
In every village, town, city, state or nation, there are usually two kingdoms at play: the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. Colossians 1:13 says,
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
This scripture shows that every child of God has been moved from one of these kingdoms to the other. If you are truly saved, you are no longer in darkness but in the kingdom of light. As light, you should not be afraid of operators in the kingdom of darkness, such as witches, wizards and those in the occult, because you have the greater one inside of you ( 1 st John 4:4 ). If you are afraid of them, this indicates to you that all is not well with you; there could be some cracks in your wall, and sin might be responsible. Whatever compromises your holiness compromises your divine security. When these operators of darkness see that your light is shinning brightly, they will withdraw and dangle carrots of temptation at you, and if you fail for it, they will strike at you.


Moreover, the reason why God translated us from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of his dear Son is because He is interested in having his will established both in Heaven and here on earth. Although nothing short of God’s will is done in Heaven, on earth, there is still a struggle to establish God’s will, because man handed over control of the earth to the kingdom of darkness in the Garden of Eden ( Luke 4:5-6 ). As a child of God, you are therefore an agent of re-establishing God’s will in any corner of the earth where you find yourself. If you want to establish and fulfil God’s will, you will make no room for lies, sin and pretence. Among God’s children on earth today, you will be shocked to know how many of them really seek to do His will in all areas of their lives. Many of us want God to change His plans and ways to suit ours, but that is an expectation of futility. God does not change: He is ever the same (Malachi 3:6 ). As conservative as He may appear to be, His technology in Heaven is billions of years ahead of ours on earth. In fact, He is the One who gives our researchers, thinkers and inventors the latest discoveries they get. Such scientific discoveries are new and news to us, but not to those in Heaven. To them, the best we have on offer is stale news. In Heaven, there are no gimmicks or tricks. Everything revolves around God, and He is in control of time. When God therefore gives you an assignment, He has expectations regarding when, where and how it should be done. If you miss out on any of the details, you will be on your own. To what extent are you doing His will?


Action Point
Ask God for grace to know Him, and for courage to do His will in every situation.

5 Bible Verses To Reassure You That God Is Listening To Your Prayers

Here are five Bible verses to reassure you that God hears your prayers.

FIRST JOHN 5:14 “AND THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE TOWARD HIM, THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL HE HEARS US.”
The Apostle John wasn’t trying to pump up the church’s faith. He had confidence in God, including a confidence that whatever we pray for in God’s will is a prayer that God will hear. Can we ask for anything more than having God’s ear, so at least we have access to the throne of grace, thanks be to Jesus Christ, our Mediator.


PSALM 66:19 “BUT TRULY GOD HAS LISTENED; HE HAS ATTENDED TO THE VOICE OF MY PRAYER.”
The psalmist was like John. He knew that God listened to his prayer, and even “attended to the voice of [his] prayer.” It’s one thing to have your prayers heard, but to have them “attended to”means it’s been taken care of. That doesn’t mean your prayer request will come exactly as you thought it would be, but since God attends to it, that should be enough for us.


JOHN 9:31 “WE KNOW THAT GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO SINNERS, BUT IF ANYONE IS A WORSHIPER OF GOD AND DOES HIS WILL, GOD LISTENS TO HIM.”
Isaiah the Prophet wrote our “iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear” (Isaiah 59:2), but God must hear at least some sinners, because how many of us have cried out to God to save us while we were yet sinners (Rom 5:8)? This verse is saying that whoever does God’s will and worships the One, True God, will be the one who He will listen too.


FIRST PETER 3:12 “FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYER. BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL.”
Not only are our prayers being heard, God’s ears are opened toward them, however, His face is against the wicked. If His face is against the wicked, it’s not likely they’re prayers will be heard, especially if they’re living in sin, but God will hear them and answer them if they cry out to be saved.


FIRST JOHN 5:15 “AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS US IN WHATEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE ASKED OF HIM.”
John gives us one final verse about our prayers being heard, and again, he doesn’t have to depend on feelings; he knows that God “hears us in whatever we ask,” and knows “that we have the requests that we have asked of him,” even before we receive them. That’s faith!


CONCLUSION
We can have confidence that God will hear our prayers. God can even read the thoughts and intents of our hearts (Heb 4:13), so it’s not a matter of whether He will hear us or not, it’s a matter of whether we’ll accept His answer. This much is true, “The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous” (Prov 15:29).

MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU,

6 types of Women Christian Men Should Avoid

Has a Christian, they are types of women a man should not associate with so has not to kill your Christian life. See the types of women below. 👇👇

A WOMAN WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE
This is the most important factor of all. Since we are commanded to not be unequally yoked with nonbelievers, then how much more so should a man not even consider dating someone who doesn’t believe (2 Cor 6:14)? A Christian man should never consider dating an unbeliever, just as no woman should ever think about dating a nonbelieving man. It’s foolish to think that you can date her and lead her to saving faith in Christ. This could certainly backfire on you.


WOMEN WHO DON’T PUT GOD FIRST
This may be one of the greatest factors for men to consider in not dating a woman. If a woman never puts God first, then she may be putting herself first. If she doesn’t put God first, then she’ll likely have you way down on her priority list, too. No woman or man, for that matter, who doesn’t seek God and His kingdom first and foremost (Matt 6:33) should ever be dated


WOMEN WHO DON’T LIKE CHILDREN
Men should avoid dating any woman who doesn’t like children. What happens if this arrangement leads to marriage and later on there are children born into your family?  You can sense how she might be around children in church or in public, but you can also tell by her regard for children in general during conversations. There is nothing more revealing about a person’s character than the way they react to children when encountered.


WOMEN WHO DON’T PRAY
If you are considering dating a woman but have never had any inclination that this woman prays, then this could be a sign that she would not be a good match for you. I believe that prayer is the pulse of the believer’s spiritual life, and if there is no prayer, there is no pulse.


WOMEN WHO SPEAK ILL OF THEIR PARENTS
Do you know how this woman treats her mother? How does she speak about her father? Is there a good relationship with her parents? If you have started to date or are considering dating a woman, first meet her parents or ask her about her parents and see how she speaks about them. If there is no natural respect or love for her parents, maybe you could ask her why. No one has perfect parents, of course, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still try to honor them.


WOMEN WITH WARNING SIGNS
Another type of woman who men should not consider dating is one who drinks in excess or has a substance abuse problem. There are warning signs that are sometimes present, such as drinking early in the day or taking an inordinate amount of pills, even if they are prescribed. She may have a valid reason for taking medicine, but if you sense in your heart that something is wrong, ask her why she might be taking certain medications. There is nothing wrong with asking someone you are considering dating a few questions if you have concerns.  A woman who’s not trying to hide anything shouldn’t have any hesitation in addressing your concerns.


CONCLUSION
Before a man dates any woman, be as sure as you can that she’s been born again and has shown fruits of conversion (John 15). Dating can often lead to marriage, but no marriage is always better than a bad one because it could lead to a potential divorce, and God never intended for a man and a woman to divorce, but to marry until death do they part.
