Abraham married base on love, isaac married d wil of his father tru God guidiance, jacob married 4 love, joseph married based on love, Moses e.t.c. God only warn dem not to marry 4rm some tribes likewise paul taught us not to marry an unbeliever. Bible says he dat findeth a wife, findeth a gud tin...if u read d bible very wel, God's favour comes in after finding d wife. That means if u commit d relationship or marriage to his hand.

Debeloved87:
Listen......as a child of God, a daughter of zion, you cant be filled with the holy spirit and still be looking for husband because by the time the gift of God is manifesting in you, men, great men will be rushing at you and then by the power of the spirit you discern the man that is meant for you......and for your friend she really needs to go ahead in prayer and enquired from the LORD propably through great men of God that can "see".

but some so called spirit filled men of God end up marrying a witch o. Do u want to tel me dat dey didnt pray b4 chosen a life partner? Mr man, dere is no standard 4 revealing spouse tru dreams, and if dere's one pls let me knw. Dont be decieved, study paul's teachings very wel. Many xtians homes ar on fire today bcus dey saw each oda tru dreams that has no standard in d bible. And many single sistas remain single bcus dey r stil waitin 4 dream. Bible says my people perish 4 lack of wisdom. Be wise. Paul taught us to marry a xtian based on love. Read ur bible very wel.

HFOG:
I may not be able to vouch for others but I know the Lord leads me in several areas of my life. Academic, financial, material, relationship, physical etc just name it. He never forces anyone. Proverbs says acknowledge Him in ALL your ways and He'll direct your part. Getting to know anybody isn't a day's job. It takes loads of time, sacrifices and committment and the same thing applies to our relationship with the Lord. He only speaks to His sheep, His sons. If you are a sincere seeker you'll surely find Him. Hebrews 11:6. He's a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Just begin from little things. God's interested in everything that concerns you. Don't ignore God through out life and expect to get His attention when marriage matters crop up

dont misunderstand me young woman, i did nt say God doesn't lead. My take is dat i'm yet to see where God match make in d bible, throughout paul's teaching on marriage he never mentioned dat. I read an article by pastor Adeboye of redeem, he says God stop matchmaking after Adam blamed God concerning this. But our pastors are advocating it. I'm not saying God doesn't lead o. But wher can we find in the bible the standard of matchmaking by dream. Bcus bible is our standard.

I would advice the sister to stick to her fiance. Dreams are not always revelations from God. Some may be as a result of our subconscious playing out somethings we may have been exposed to, one way or the other, during the day.

Love is a beautiful thing. We should not compromise it for anyone or anything. If indeed the sister is sure that her fiance loves her, shows this love in action and she also love and cherish him in return then both of them should stick together.

Let her pray for her current relationship and ask God to strengthen her and her fiance to grow more in love. It is important to pray for God's will! If indeed it is His will for them to be together, then let it be done.

It may be devastating for the sister to go close to the other guy for a number of reasons.

tnk u so much. I will let her see this. Even in the teaching of paul on marriage in 1cor 7:1-40, he dwelled more on love and xtianity. Infact, he never mentioned this issue of dreaming to see ur spouse. And i believe bible should be our standard as xtians. Tnx so much.

striktlymi:
I would prefer not to use the term: 'Match-make'. God can give someone directions with respect to finding his or her life partner but His directions are not forced on us. We still reserve the right to say NO to those directions and choose our own path.

The directive God gives is more like a two way street. If God gives you directions on how, when and where to find your spouse, expect him to also prepare the individual to receive you favourably.

I have seen so many cases where peeps try to woo their 'intending' spouses with the line: "God said you are my wife or husband" when the lady or guy has no idea what you are talking about.

Revelations about one's future spouse can occur but they are very rare these days. It is always advisable to put every spirit to the test. I would advise personally for you not to rely on any revelation.

Pray to God, most definitely, to direct and bless your search then go ahead to choose the one that most suit your set criteria. It would be helpful to go on dates.

tnk u so much. Pls do u think its normal 4 a sister to propose to a brother she saw in her dream, or to show signs maybe by moving closer to him.?
Second ques.. D sister in ques is in a rlshp (HOLY ONE) and she and her fiance love demsevs so much. Bt she is now seeing another brother in her dream. Can satan influence her dreams or can we say is from God?

Drsnives:
Come to deeper life and you will understand better, but wait i never even read the trend self

pls tell me what i will understand better in Deeper life.

NifemiOlu:


You see. Dream...that's her inner desire (unconscious desire). That's what she wants. And you said churches use medical stuff now. Dear, the churches doing so are absolutely right because God doesn't choose. You like someone, pray to God and declare what you want in that person and God will refine it if He chooses.

infact, in churches like Dlbc, Mfm, i dnt av idea of rccg. After seeing d so call will, if ur genotype contradict, then u have not pray through at all. So my humble question is that does God actually match make... Issue of marriage was discussed in detail by paul in 1cor 7:1-40. Apostle paul never mentioned match making throughout his teaching, only discussed love and xtainity. So i'm eager to know if God truely match make o.

Kirinwa:
This thread is meant for Religion section.

it was a mistake, i didnt know. So sorry.

Saraha1:
Marriage is more like someone who needs God direction in life.

When we involve God in the issue of marriage I tell you that you can never make any mistake. The problem we have is that we want things to be done in our way, remember wht he says in Jeremaih 29V 11.
God speak to us through our dreams , because he knew that is the best channel of communication.

Devil also manipulate our dream life, but when you need God to speak , then you should be able to use bible verse to back up your prayer. That alone bring confusion into the camp of the enemy.

tnx so much@saraha, but i tink bible shud be our standard. Uptil nw, i hav nt seen whr God match make in the bible. Paul's teaching based on luv and christianity not seeing someone in ur dream and u admit he/she is ur spouse. A sister is in a dilema nw. She is in a rlship(holy one though), bt recently she's seeing another brother in her dream. Nw she's is confuse. My ques is that is there any place in the bible or any xters in the bible that God match make tru dreams or vision like wht is now happening in xtristainity?. Besides, medical status is now the basis in some church...so where is the standard for God's will.

@kenwulia, pls withdraw any abusive word. Jst giv ur own opinion. Tnx

Pls i wish to know if God truly matchmakes. I have scanned through the bible and am yet to see where it is written. In 1corinthians 7:1-40, paul spoke extensively on marriage but never mentioned that God matchmakes, only spoke on marrying in d lord (christians). But many pastors claim dat God matchmakes. If truely God match makes, is it only by dreams one can know? Is it possible dat satan can influence ones dream on dis issue and one wil tink its frm God. Pls if God truely match makes, how can one know? Pls help.

femi4: What is this one saying? Even a third class can get a custom job.

We are referring to multinationals, non govt Org/Agencies

have u gotten one. Multinational ko, multitalented ni. So na paper dem dey pay custom officers or if u see one, u no go do. Mtseew.

Since april 2012. @op did u jst wake up 4rm ur dream. Stop propagatin old news here jor. Anyway, kudos 2 prof. Adesida

@op, i want u 2 knw dat it is not everybody dat can finish wit 2.1 no mata d hardwork. As far as i'm concern, i strongly believ in God's mercy. My broda is a living testimony. He got employment at nigeria custom service as a Deputy supritendent with God's connection even at d age of 32. A friend of mine finished wit 2.2 in d dept of microbiology, eksu. She finished her nysc in feb and was favoured in march. It is advisable to wrk hrd while in sch. But one thing i knw is dat, either u end up wit 1.1, 2.1 or 2.2, God's mercy supercedes all.

femi4: Your 2.1 is a waste if you are above 27

lies...my broda got a custom job at 32 without knowing anybody. I strongly believe in God's mercy, i repeat; only believe in God's mercy.

'The old rugged cross'. I love dis hymn so much.

Please go to the marriage counseling thread let's continue
Mention my name there are kindly repeat the question I will respond fully

women and this their egotistical nature sha. Who are kids or are you older than all the nairalanders. I have been following your post since, i really like the way you treated issues but this one is pride and self exaltation which is very bad. Not judging anyway, only correcting you.
