On behalf of the members of Holy Ghost Gang, Lemme answer you.
God only told Abraham to let Hagar to go because Sarah was agitating for her departure when she saw Ishmael making fun of Isaac. God told Abraham that he Abraham's family line would continue through Isaac but he would also make Ishmael a great nation hence, when the child was crying in the desert God provided comfort. (Genesis 21: 8-21)

2. God didn't tell Isaac to get married outside, Abraham made that decision by himself when he sent his servant to go and get his son a wife. Read (Genesis 24: 1-4)

B. Samson: was not commanded not to marry sef. God actually wanted him to marry the Philistine woman but it doesn't say anywhere that God told him to marry her. He actually loved her. And when he couldn't marry her, he dealt with them. Judges 14: 3-5 (NCV)

Samson was dedicated to God so he didn't shave his hair. That was the custom at the time.

Holy Ghost Gang... Signing out!

I hate ladies that sleep with more than one man at a time.

I simply think the only place a woman can close her legs is inside her grave.
The only reason that can make a man guess perfectly about the faithfulness of his wife is if she's dead.

Sorry for bumping in

You develop a relationship, led him lead you in small small things you will know how he speaks with you and then by the time big decisions come you will just flow. Pastors should be a confirmation that's all whatever they say should be what you already know or what you are 'feeling' with the help of the holy spirit.

E.g you are praying about a sister all looks okay but there's this uneasiness in your spirit you just feel something is not right sha then you ask pastor for guidance and possibly because he may be more spiritually mature he may just tell you something is not right too. He may even know exactly what it is and just tell you to hold on about the sister and pray that God should reveal what it is to you, you pray and then Gbam you get exactly what caused the uneasiness. You may just see someone physically who may tell you a secret about the person that he/ she hid from you, you may have dream you may stumble on some documents, the person may just show you his/ her true color. Different ways of manifestation


It is important that the individual himself hears from God personally so that if / when challenges come you will not say aaah it's pastor xyz that said it's God will ooo blabla bla.


I had an experience I won't forget, there was a guy who wanted to marry me we practically grew up in church together before everyone went to university I still attended church because I went to school from home. I even knew 2 ladies he had dated. He just chated me up on fb some years later he wanted to marry blabla bla. I laughed and well we didn't say anything about it again, he came home a year later and came to my house we gisted and was like he wants to marry me. I knew I personally didn't pray about it like that, I knew his parents we grew up together I felt it was enough, I was like okay let's see how it goes.

I got admission for a PG course so I got a shared apartment with someone in another part of Lagos which incidentally was around the same area he stayed so we would see at school in the evening. He took me to his place to know his apartment once. 2 months later he started misbehaving sha well I was like that's his problem we didn't see as often as we did in those 8 weeks, I just felt guys and their wahala.

So one day some weeks later I had a dream something about a pregnancy that someone had for him. I asked him he was like no etc etc. I didn't know someone was even pregnant for him. I had the feeling in my spirit because that dream had a strong impression on me anyway I cleared my mind from all worries I had exams to write I was not about to fail because it seems he impregnated someone, I will deal with that later, I think I casually prayed about it. I prepared and wrote my papers.

One day I was sleeping early in the morning around past six, I practically felt someone wake me up and said stand up go to 'xyz' house now. It was so strong that I couldn't ignore I just brushed my teeth washed my face and wore clothes I didn't even bathe. I was just wondering this early morning at a man's house why na I have never been there except the day I went to know the place. Shey they will not say sister xyz is going to brothers house.

Anyway I was not going to ignore because I KNEW I was led to go to that place. So I got there all was quiet and knocked and a lady opened the door I said I am asking of xyz she went to call someone and a pregnant 'supposed ex' opened, I wasn't really shocked so I greeted her and told her I wanted to see xyz she went to call him and he was so shocked to see me grin and said we should go outside to talk okay ooo. I had already seen what God wanted me to see so I simply asked him about the money he was owing that was for my friend angry

Till this day I believe God led me to that place that day to use my own korokoro eyes to see. the whole relationship lasted about 4 months I think and incidentally she was around 4 months pregnant by my own calculation of the size of the bump.

I met my husband about 3 months later. grin
Well u av spoken well... But all I said it's still same thing. Cos it was ur instincts that made u to take those steps. So God also speaks to us through the options I gave.

I think Airforce1 is right by quoting "findeth".

It amazes me when issues like this come up, single boys and girls comment rubbish.

The " findeth" says it all, that who can "find her" . It is hard to find a wife. There are ladies but you are searching for a lady transformed by her virtues she has acquired to turn to a wife.

You need God's guidance to do that. It can come if you pray, God can reveal to you in dreams or through a TRUE a man of God (test the spirit to know).

when God told samon not to take any woman from philistine dose it mean that all philistine women are bad?

dont forget when God sent angel to go and destroy sodom and gomora lot meant the angel and started begging them not to destroy the city


the angel then now tell lot if we can find so so numbers of upright people we will not destroy the city again

after their long negotiation no one was found upright except lot and his family





the same people God created is not upright

Jew practice Judaism and they follow the Torah which is majorly the law of Moses and the Old Testament.

Christians follow Christ and we follow the bible. Since we are followers of Christ the law of Moses as ended and the new covenant in Christ as begun.

Jews don't believe in the death and resurrection of Christ. And they do not accept Christ as the messiah.

78% of Israelite are Judaism, 12% Muslims and 2% Christians

Another nice one.

When I was single I was always weary of brother that come with 'God said' infact I saw them as opportunists that want to hide under church to choose a sister.

God is the originator of marriage and knows what is best for us.
yes oh...
But the devil is seriously fighting the marriage institution now that if we don't take time our children would never consider it.
We just need to pray and teach our children that Hollywood and Nollywood are not the originators or marriage and relationship in general.

Not Getting Married To A Demon Incarnate Is A Great Challenge
by Righteous​I

A true christian doesn't really need to mix with the corrupt
society or copy the corrupt values of the society. Such a true
christian cannot be deceived by false messages from false
pastors because he or she has the bible as his or her only
guide. But the only time when that christian needs to mix with
the society is when the time to pick a marriage partner comes.
This is the only area you are vulnerable due to the false
christians in the church. why are these Christians false? they
are false because they are agents of Satan, they are demon
incarnates.although they look human they are actually demons.
And to make matters worse these false christians/demon
incarnates in the church can act and pretend to be devout
christians, they will sing in the choir, pray and even fast with
you but they are not christians but agents of the devil. So the
question here is how does a true and devout christian avoid
getting married to these demon incarnate men and women in
the church? ANSWER: ACCEPTING CELIBACY, SINGLENESS
AND HAVING NO CHILDREN IS A TRUE CHRISTIANS SAFEST
OPTION. please note that it is not compulsory for a Christian to
get married or have children. FYI, there's no way you can tell who is a demon incarnate and who is a true Christian since these demon incarnates will also show the fruits of the spirit

Toks2008:
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.

What God does is equip you with wisdom to make the right decision, but He never picks for you. Picking your spouse make Him soley responsible for your actions. It’s like God asking Adam to name animals and Adam praying to God to show him names to name the animals. How much sense does that make?

Solomon prayed for Wisdom to make decisions

1 Kings 3:9 (KJV)
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?


Whenever God shows people spouses, He is not picking spouses for them,He is simply showing them their future decisions. This is quite rare,so exceptional. Otherwise God has equipped the body of Christ with enough tools to make the right decision. The tools include scriptures,teachings, Holy Spirit,Wisdom of men, etc

I give every one attention but it just baffles me when I see people rewrite what I wrote and some will even use fulgal words yet all they write is exactly what I wrote.

It was clear in my write up
.

1.God still tells us who to marry but when he does it is usually a tough one to accept.

For instance...i love curvy chics like kilode but if GOD chooses a lanky lady for me...trust me I will cry as I say YES Lord
But how can I see a sweet curvy chic which is what I want and I go to her to say "GOD SAID"?

I only pointed out the hypocrisy behind those words "GOD SAID YOU ARE THE ONE" by some people...
