The Place of Celibacy

Amazon

FREE

Derek Prince’s book God Is a Matchmaker contains a full chapter titled “The Place of Celibacy.” In it, he teaches that celibacy is not failure but often God’s will. True fulfilment comes only from doing God’s will, not from marriage. Celibacy may arise naturally (physical/psychological/sociological) or spiritually—either as a sovereign gift (charisma) like Paul’s, or as voluntary sacrifice for the Kingdom.

Derek insists the ultimate goal of a Christian is not marriage but doing God’s will. Jesus Himself remained unmarried on earth. Celibacy can be natural (physical, psychological, or sociological factors) or spiritual: a supernatural charisma sovereignly bestowed (as with Paul) or a deliberate self-renunciation for the Kingdom’s sake (Matt 19:12). Fighting God’s call to singleness brings frustration; surrendering brings peace and fruitfulness. Marriage is good, but consecrated singleness—freely accepted—releases extraordinary spiritual energy for God’s service. Each believer must settle whether lifelong celibacy is God’s plan and trust His grace is sufficient.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
