Why I refused to date before marriage is a question rooted in faith, purpose, and spiritual growth. In this video, I share my heartfelt journey of choosing to prioritize my spiritual relationship with God over fleeting worldly pursuits. From my past life before salvation to the moment God convicted my heart to focus on His kingdom, this is a story about faith, God’s wisdom, and understanding His purpose for relationships.
Discover how I navigated the challenges of being single in the church, the importance of avoiding stumbling blocks for others, and how I relied on prayer, fasting, and scripture to strengthen my resolve. This is not just about abstaining from dating but about building a deeper connection with God and trusting His timing to bring the right partner into my life. My testimony reflects the power of faith and reason working together to guide life’s most personal decisions.
Whether you're on your own spiritual journey, renewing your relationship with God, or seeking a deeper understanding of His creation and purpose, this video will inspire you to trust in His plan. Remember, God’s timing is perfect, and by seeking His kingdom first, all other things will be added to you.
