Stop getting pregnant and get married first!

Single Ladies: As a married, black woman, I can tell you, please take your time. Pray and ask God guidance and discernment when choosing a husband. Marriage is no joke and not all rainbows, especially with the wrong person.

Marriage culture is not promoted In our communities like other communities.

The Bible says a MAN that findeth a wife, findeth a good thing. So ladies, stop looking. Stop auditioning. Stop trying to please these non-husband minded men. Your body is precious. Sex is the easiest part of a relationship. Listen to what he is saying and what he isn't saying. Watch what he does and what he doesn't do. Wait until a crisis happens and see how HE handles it. Let these men step up and be men. I heard a maintenance man telling his buddy that he needed to make a decision about which woman to marry. They were both good women. He just couldn't decide.

I'm here for the comments 😂 How about let's be ready when Jesus returns! We allow differing opinions to divide us. You already married..tell the Lord Thank you. You waiting on a Godly spouse..tell the Lord Thank you. You don't want to get married ..tell the Lord Thank you. Amen🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

As a Christian woman, I have a desire to date God's way. I desire a husband...a Godly husband...but there are some men (even some Christian men) who believe that, if they don't get sex, they walk away. Some men (in general) believe that if you aren't spending money on them, you're not worth it. If that's the case, I just might remain single...and even though I have a desire to be married, I'm okay if I'm not! God bless you, Bishop 😇🙏🏾

Too many single moms Men should marry who they impregnate. There is no accountability in the community and society. It’s normal now. Unfortunately.

Marriage is beautiful with the right person. The church needs to talk more about family values and relationships. The Bible speaks of this greatly 👏👏👏💯🫡👊

and black women say 'I'm strong, black and independent and don't need no man'. We need to be more honest rather than say stuff that pleases people.

The lack of men in the church is an issue. Many women in the church are waiting but it’s difficult to find strong men of God in the church nowadays.

I'd rather be unmarried and ALIVE (these ninjas are crazy!) then married and miserable like most of my friends...

Take a really good look at our options & choices... Enough said! let's move on to the next topic

Agreed. Promote marriage.

The men commenting on this thread...smh. I have two Black daughters. One is married to a white, Christian man and the other is dating a white guy at her college. They are both modest, strong women. The one who is married with three children is SUPER strong willed with a type A personality. My second is sweet and sensitive with a lot of confidence. All of my children are confident leaders woth strong wills. My former husband and I co-parented after our divorce and I have not remarried despite four proposals. He is on his third wife and they are living separate lives because he doesn't want another divorce. After my oldest daughter got married, he called me and apologized for his part in causing our divorce and admitted that he has reaped how he treated me with both his other wives. I guess he was hoping that by apologizing, his current wife would start treating him better. I am now living in Spain and was pursued within my first month of living here. So to attack Black women as if other women don't have the same exact dispositions and behaviors, or as if no men want to be with Black women is shady and says more about the men making these claims. You probably don't even know that many women from other cultures. You're just regurgitating orher people's claims or images from TV...kind of like how all Black men are broke, angry, and violent gang-bangers, right?

I was just commenting on another platform that too many churches idolize marriage. Don’t get me wrong. Godly and healthy marriages are a blessing. But, singleness is also a blessing when you live a life devoted to the Lord. There’s not enough teaching about how to navigate life as a single person (as noted in 1 Corinthians 7:8, 32-35) besides preparing to be a spouse and courting/godly dating. There are people (ahem) who are called to be single for a season or for a lifetime. They need to be ministered to as well.

He is right! And unfortunately a lot of the pastors aren’t promoting it because they themselves don’t even uphold or honor it. Busy about other things. Which is sad, because healthy whole families is soo needed and fundamental.

We are living in the last days how about we talk about getting our souls right with God before it’s too late. In heaven their will be no spouses only brothers and sisters in the Lord. Christ was one of the greatest man that walked the earth and he accomplished all that was require of him without a spouse. Yes marriage is a good thing, but there are some people who do not desire marriage and that should be valued and accepted as well…

Marriage is definitely a blessing but it all boils down to one word… COMPATIBILITY!!! The church has stigmatized that if both the man and women are saved then it will work… that is definitely a good start but we must look deeper..!! That’s why there’s more divorces in the church than the world because we only assessed the individual’s church mannerisms and not for what we want and need in a spouse outside the church! There’s a lot more hours in the week outside of church than inside..IJS…lol! Even though there will be similarities in all, every Godly marriage has to be handled differently based on the agreed vision of the couple with the word of God being its foundation!!! Bro make sure she’s compatible to YOUR rib! #married15yearsplus #6kids

I'm a single black women doing very well

Some women don’t want to be in partnership with a good man, they want to be the head of the house. Men don’t want to live with a sharp tongue either. But some men just look at the outside of the package and don’t look on the inside at the goodness of a woman.

Marriage is honorable, the men want sex even in God's house before they marry you. Several have many kids from days of there youth. We are willing to submit to a husband who is submitted to God. Other barriers include poor health, mental illness, insecure men. It will truly take miracles for God to orchestrate marriages.

Thank you Bishop for the beautiful message. You are absolutely correct ✅, but it’s okay to be single as well . If it’s God will it will be. Learn to be content in it.

The bishop is talking about the type of women in his day. They are rare these days

They don't make Black women like that no more pastor. It's 2024. Modern black women weren't raised to be wives, and they do not desire marriage. They desire partnerships, which are highly conditional and distinctly different from marriage, not biblical. When we have these communications, we should have them honestly, and they should be truthful. Pandering to black women in your congregation only gets you continued contributions and membership.🤔

One answer to the question, from a Biblically perspective is: The Spirit (of God) says that in the latter times, some will depart from THE faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, forbidding to marry.(Read 1st Tim.4:1-3) And in the last days perilous (dangerous) times will come: For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, and a list of other characteristics. (Read 2nd Tim.3:1-5) But notice the 6th & 7th verse: For of this sort (lovers of themselves, lovers of money) are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts (by their own desires), always learning (doctrines of demons) and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (concerning the doctrine of Christ). Which is evident throughout social media platforms.

Young ladies please don't waste your 20's on the things that don't line up with marriage if you're looking for that life style.As you can see the men that most women want is not interested in women over 29yrs.

It is better to be unmarried if you are a servant of God. He will keep you. Let’s not twist it.

What’s the most unmarried race of men in America?

There should be more education on marrying the right person that we are truly compatible with mind, body, spirit and soul. Actually spend time in prayer and fasting and let God reveal the person to you first instead of looking at someone first and getting caught up and then begging God to let them be it. There's a difference.

Because too many of our men want each other!

Most of the men in church are senior citizens. There is no real reason to preach married because men are the ones that do the proposing.

Can't you see they have enemies that are dead jealous, working against them, who would rather die than to see black women happy?

There are some sisters that are diligently waiting for the Lord to bring them a husband, while serving the Lord. Then you have some that don't how to be nor don't want learn how to be a wife, they just want a husband. And brothers can spot them a mile away and run when they see them.

Beautiful women who place obstacles on themselves by limiting themselves to men of ONE race.

I need to see this full message.

There are several reasons. 1) There are not as many single, godly men as there are women. 2) Many of us know our worth and are not willing to settle. 3) Some men can’t handle a strong black woman. 4) Some women can’t or won’t submit.

Ladies, you know you...are you a KNIFE or a WIFE?🤔 We can't do it the world's way with the world's thinking and expect God to bless it. When we do it God's way, the BLESSINGS are inevitable!

Great content! I have been addressing this unequitable phenomena for years- glad someone recognizes this problem among BW in this country!🤨🤔

Preach Preacher Man!!! They PREFER...JEZEBEL, DELILAH And HERODIAS. At this point, I will spend whatever is left of my life Chasing JESUS. NO 💔 with JESUS. Single and Content with JESUS.

We have to keep the BM in prayer and I mean this with so much love. Christ is the head, and then the man, the enemy knows this and is enticing our men with worldly fleshly things. That is a huge reason why so many saved women are single. It’s a spiritual war on men we must pray that they wake up overcome. It will profit nothing to gain the whole world and lose your soul. Lord help us . 🙏🏾

I have been married for 40+ years to the same man. Life is good. We recently became great-grandparents. I love my life. However, there is a certain type of Black woman who should NEVER exchange vows with ANY man. You all know the type I am referring to. With that, I'll end this comment with a little love. Everyone enjoy your day and be happy. Don't let anything or anyone get you down.

Single black women live longer. My grandma told me.".. You wanna be an old lady like me? STAY BY YOURSELF!!!" SHE DIED AT 92...😂❤

I was beat down and abused before I ever left home. I never thought anyone would ever want to marry me. I wasn't brought up in a Christian home. I didn't know what was expected. I was desperate for love and attention so I took it from wherever I could get it. Never had a good man. Now that I am 65 years old I finally found him in Jesus Christ. I pretty much don't want a relationship anymore. That's just where I am. Sometimes Id like to be close to someone but for the most part no. It would take away from the time I spend serving God and getting closer to Him. I'm at peace

You better preach Bishop!

The Bishop was hitting the nail on the Head!!

They don't like us and the men that approach are abusive and vile. I am afraid of men now. God is my husband.

Thank you so much for your great, true preaching.

I am 100% with Bishop on this clip. Not so much on those others, but he told no lies right here!

To answer the question: We refuse to settle, simple as that...And oh yeah, some of us still aren't simply ready for it (But I'm not speaking for me, tho!) 😁

Most of their black men are not prepared to marry and handle husband/father responsibilities but go around making women pregnant, sometimes two, three, four women and they don't support them kids either. Result is lots of single mothers and most single men without kids of their own don't want to marry single mothers and take care of kids of other men. There you have it!

AMEN! Bishop! Preach marriage and give understanding about love and prioritizing!

His describing marriage from 60 years ago

I'm fine not being married. Sorry y'all think we're so bad 😂

It seems to be an ABUNDANCE of single Christian women but.. where are the men??? lol I hate this topic because it’s become so triggering for me but we have to get at the root

I usually agree with bishop. This is the one exception. He has the luxury of remembering & speaking from a time when marriage actually meant something and was regarded as something sacred, admirable, noble and not entered into lightly because people then had more respect for the things of God. Secondly, the woman is not the favor, marriage is. God blessed what he created & covenant was created for us to honor God through serving each other. When we enter covenant and do it God’s way, we please God thus allowing us to experience his favor. That verse is about obedience, not who’s more special.

I prefer to be single because I don’t want to share my bed with anyone but my puppy…I don’t want another human being breathing down my neck and I don’t like to be touch eww people are dirty i live a celibate life, going on 12 years and I love it

Marriage is for Nation builders, not individuals!

Amen 💯🔥 I agree 🌹

Because they squander themselves on meaningless men while not requiring marriage. Today. In the old days, however, black women were exactly as he expressed here.. (0:39) When I think about what my grandmother and mother went through... I'm all for marriage but if you, as a woman do not want to marry, stay single (in body, mind, spirit) and maintain some self respect. You won't regret it. (I certainly haven't.)

This is my experience as a single black male. Women today don't think they have roles or duties in a relationship. They think that merely being a woman qualifies them for marriage.

My late brother said, " a man don't want another man". Best to tone down on being harsh, snappy, controlling, critical, domineering and such.

Was married before. Single is better. Nothing in marriage is beneficial to a man unless he just wants kids. I’ve never experienced any of those things in married life. Fortunately I was raised to be able to cook, clean and take care of my child the way society claims a wife will. Never again.

Beautiful ❤

Were is your survey

This man has a Pharisee spirit! I'm nothing and nobody! It's all about the LORD JESUS CHRIST. I am a man that is without EXCUSE. I don't want to be a Pharisees neither do I want to be a hypocrite. Thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN!!!

last to get married and first to get divorced. but there should be some context provided behind that

Most single black men and struggling financially and they can't afford to support a wife. However, the vast majority of brothers with a good career and study employment are married.

Yes every woman wants a good man provider lover prayer partner. I do believe that the church idolize marriage and try to make others feel bad because they are not married God never said his blessings was base on you being married Why get married to the wrong person and live a life of disappointment everyday I’m very sad that BM cannot see the Value of a BW

Good sermon preacher but ya never actually answer the question !

What happened to black love......???????

…good clean lovin’…. Hut-hey GLORY!!!!

I’m Black and I’m married.

How many are divorced? Have kids already? Obese? Want to be married? All of that factors in to one community increasing and maintaining marriage numbers

We talk extensively about this on our channel

I didn’t hear a reason!

WOMEN please be non judgemental from this moment forward. The first and most important crime against humanity was from the original woman. She ignored the request and instructions from the creators and the entire world has suffered since, so looking at the speck in a mans eye is just a deflection of the real problem. May I suggest to those claiming to be Christian but ignoring this fact maybe it's time to get back in the book and see for yourself that it is good. May I also note that the original crime against humanity hasn't been forgiven up to this point in time. Man nor woman has seek repentance for those actions but as time has moved along more men are apologetic than women. Don't believe me. Then I challenge you to do so tomorrow to someone that you've caused harm on. GODSPEED

In spite of ignorant hate, why are black women successful?

Context is key!. I like hearing more of the message...to get a better understanding

Loving v Virginia court decision 1967...seems everyone is always trying to control BM in this country.

How about men raising good men for women to want to marry. IJS

Personal preference.

This is simping par excellence!

Because black men only have 25% marriage rate and all other groups of men have 50% marriage rate. And black women are the most race loyal. But black women are changing and divesting so it will go up

She who findeth a good husband findeth a good thing...good luck with that , that's why they not married...a hot bed with a man in it is overrated especially if he's still in it when you get up to go to work!!!

Reverend obviously hasn’t looked at these women on social media nowadays! 🤣🤣

Yes

The FBA family by and large has collapsed, especially in the cities. Not necessarily because of the men or the women. It is a direct result of sustained attacks, specifically targeting it over the course of at least 3 generations. We have been at war since we arrived in this land. For some, since the Euros arrived. As long as we're here we'll never recover. The damage to the family and the community has reached its tipping point. Be easy on yourselves and find a way to love and prefer one another. Our redeemer is the Lord.

Lord please keep this man

He is speaking about the past black women mindset from the 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s aye

Because most black women carry the total responsibility of a household n most of the time her income is greater then the black man no unless he is a successful man.

.......and the black man is now asking.

Because somebody told them they didn't need men and many out salary men.

Cause of them ...they should look in the mirror

Christopher Wray

Where’s the “WHY” in this ?

ALL THE SINGLE LADIES,ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! Beyonce 🤔

When a woman gives her body she's given all she got; but a man can never give enough...

Because of Pastors just like you, that's why they ain't Marrying much, you got them confused.

Bishop is living in the past.😅

There is still a mighty work that needs to be done, and that is being done. Control seek the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you. If you know who the people of Israel were in scripture and who they are now, you would not have to ask that question. There is nothing to hard for God, the people of God need to acknowledge he who has love them from the beginning.
