Pastor Tokunbo at it again.So many eligibles staring us in the face, to hear when God says is the ultimate wahala.

I say...find a friend to pitch your tent with. Geskia.

The summary of this piece is that we should stop deceiving ourselves by saying 'GOD said, Prophet said, My pastor said, Alfa said...' because in the real sense, it is our mind telling us what we want to hear. You can rely on your instinct or peculiar signs that gives you confirmation but we should stop hiding behind those words 'GOD SAID'

For the first time, I am absolutely disappointed that you actually wrote something trashy like this



I haven't read a write up loaded with so much ignorance in a while

Happy Sunday though

JupiterGeekVII:
You shouldn't have placed God in the same category as pastors. There're many false pastors who mislead people into the wrong marriage. I'm definitely an advocate of not asking pastors for confirmation or letting them decide for you.

But I don't see anything wrong with asking God. While He has given us the freewill; who we marry isn't pre-determined, we choose. At the same time, we can see His face and guidance to determine whether we're making the right decision or not, and unlike pastors, He will not mislead. You just have to make sure you listen well because God has different ways of answering prayers.



Instinct/intuition can be God's way of speaking. But one has to be discerning because it might not be of God.

Awww!

How I wish you can give me your own insight but as far as I'm concerned...you just trolled.

Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

You should take more time to study the Bible. Know more about the God you serve before creating threads just to make the front-page or get irrelevant likes

Tomorrow is Monday. Work calls. Read that verse up there. Read different translations and ask yourself.

Why did that part advise me not to lean on my own understanding?

Be wise bro. Have a great week ahead

What is your point? Cos from all you write I can't pick anything...maybe you should try and catch some sleep.

You can rely on your instinct or peculiar signs that gives you confirmation but we should stop hiding behind those words 'GOD SAID'

Those are your words. Aren't they?

Now read the verse again and see if you'll understand. Try to take a glass of milk while reading. I heard it helps

It's because I am an ardent reader of your thread, if not, I wouldn't have bothered typing. God still speaks, reveals, and gives people their right spouses to marry. You don't believe in it doesn't mean it's not happening.

Just like you advised,i need to sleep Monday traffic can drain one's strength

Oga what are you implying?

His point is,, we should rather ask God for direction other than asking God to make the plans for us...The Bible says we should make plans while God directs our actions.....

The Bible is a double edge sword....Now, on the issue of what op posted, sometimes you've gotta be realistic with life...Pray to God to help you find a good partner is more naturally solid than waiting on God to bring or show you your partner through some acclaimed men and women of God.

Another funny one

When you ask God for directions, what exactly are you asking God? Directions to the lady's house? Or her place or work?

When you are asking for directions, you are simply asking to be led to the specific place. Why are you guys always digging up different meanings out of something?

These were his words

You can rely on your instinct or peculiar signs that gives you confirmation but we should stop hiding behind those words 'GOD SAID'

Does that look like someone looking for directions from God to you?

God will never force us to do his will. Never. You can choose whatever girl you want, whatever course you want to study, whatever job you want. It's up to you.

But you can still sit down, ask God and wait till you hear from him. People do it and it still happens.

I hope you understand me and don't quote back just to argue. I'm here to learn

Adios

Many people have been decieved into terrible marriages or prevented from marrying a good spouse in the name of "My Pastor said" or "GOD said".

I believe there is so much hypocrisy surrounding this matter. Lets face it..how come people don't seek GOD's face or ask a pastor for confirmation if the prospective spouse is an extreme opposite of what they desire..?

How many educated ladies will bother to ask GOD or pastor to confirm if a known armed robber is the one should such woos for marriage?
How many Guys will go to GOD to confirm for them if a popular LovePeddler is the one? But often times we tend to fool ourselves going to a pastor or going to bother GOD to tell us if a seemingly desirous prospective partner comes our way and i tend to wonder.

In the entire scriptures, there were only two instances where GOD expressly gave a clear direction concerning choosing a spouse and in those two instances, it was a very difficult choice and that was when God commanded the prophet Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom.Hosea 1:2. And the second instance was when GOD sked Joseph to marry Mary who was already pregnant.

GOD respects our freedom of choice and for the Christians, we are encouraged to be yoked with fellow Believers and as far as GOD is concerned, A man has the sole responsibility to find a wife and once he finds one and marries her, he obtains favour from GOD. Proverbs 18:22.

The summary of this piece is that we should stop deceiving ourselves by saying 'Prophet said, My pastor said, Alfa said...' because in the real sense, it is our mind telling us what we want to hear. You can rely on your intuition or peculiar signs that gives you confirmation but we should stop hiding behind those words 'GOD SAID'

As a man,it is your paramount duty to search so pray to GOD for guidance and as a lady, pray to GOD that the type of man you desire finds you.

Just as we can see from the scriptures,if GOD ever tells you to marry a certain person then it is most certain that the choice of spouse will be very difficult for you to accept and this is the way you will know that indeed, it is GOD's choice for you

I hope this makes sense.
