The Importance of A Partner (Genesis 2:18-24)
Genesis 2:18 “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
God the Created man after making heaven and earth, he also created herbs and trees and land for the man he formed to cultivate it and make it productive.
He later discovered that the man He made was lonely and it wasn’t good for the man to be alone and so He decided to create a helper for him.
Because God was still in the testing stage, He created birds, and other animals as companions for the man and brought them to the man He created but He observed that none of them were good companions for the man, none of the animals fitted the man and so he was still lonely.
So God thought to Himself that the best companion for the man is something or someone who resembles him or that is from him.
“So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man” Genesis 2: 21-22
“At last” the man exclaimed “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘Woman’, because she was taken from ‘man’”. Genesis 2: 23
“This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one” Genesis 2: 24
You now see why some men become prosperous after marriage! Because the man has been struggling and doing all the chores by himself all the while alone, he has been alone, lonely without a helper. If when he marries he finds the right woman God created for him, then he finds a helpmate; he becomes whole, he becomes complete.
This is the purpose of marriage, for an incomplete and imperfect man to become complete and perfect.
It is therefore important as a man to locate your partner created for you by God, and then everything will begin to work perfectly for you.

Just like Adam said, “At last!” you will also exclaim- “At last!”
I pray that in this “Our Year of New Beginning” the Almighty God will cause you to meet that right partner in Jesus name.
Stay blessed!!!
