Favour is deceitful beautiful is vain a woman fear the Lord she shall be praise:It is God that chose but he uses other people like pastors to confirm what he has shown to aby man or woman if you are sure and have confirmed it please tell the girl now because until you tell her your eyes may not be open to see the wright woman for you

@op, 2 ansa ur questn, theres absolutely nthin u can do. If God ve spoken; he ve spoken, dats y he is God. Moreover, he knws more dan we do and see where our eyes cant reach. He will always give us d best whether we like it or nt. Not all dat glitters is gold, he knws ds more dan we do hence, his 'NO' 2 d girl u claim u love.

2buff: There is this girl I've been friends with.
My heart skips every time I see her, and I see the way she looks at me too. There is definitely a pull, something seemingly more wholesome than just carnal attraction.
She is gorgeous and the flow between us is effortless. I can sense that there are expectations on her end, that I take the initiative as the man.

But being the guy I am, I consulted God first and made my intentions known. The word that came back was "No not her. Just wait, your wife is coming. She will come from a place you do not expect...". This was confirmed from another trusted unbiased sources. Twice now this has happened.

I've thus far been trained to the level where I do not officially START anything with any woman now until I have seeked God's counsel on the matter, but it is always one of the most painful things ever to have to pull back from initiating something that made a whole lot of sense....this girl makes a LOT of sense. But I'm not stupid...I won't go any further...but has anyone else met this "No"? How do you weather through? Do you tell the other person?

Atheists keep out please. Mature Christian counsel needed.


Was that God talking or something in the water you've been drinking? The word came back indeed.

well u should listen to the lord instruction. We human can only c d outside but the inside NO. Na die God pass us. I once had such issues. I met ds girl wen i was in school. We got 2know each otha better. When i pray 2 God concerning her , i do receive unclear revelation but understand that our being 2gether ws devine. D issue now is that i dont have feelings for her neither do i love her. Sometimes i do wonder if God can send u d mr or miss right without u loving d person. Is it possible?

Smooth.

My only question is, did God speak to you himself or you went to ask a pastor?
Let me tell you the truth, if God spoke to you himself and it has been working for you in time past and you are absolutely sure its God, then Obedience is better.
But if you decide to place your life, marriage and destiny into the hands of a pastor(that might not even be happy in his own marriage) , so be it. Their is a reason why God can speak to everyone and not 'your pastor' alone.
Didnt Chris Okotie hear from God before he went into all his marriages? Please note that I am not trying to undermine the anointing of God on him, but I am trying to show you how easy it is for the 'supposed men of God' to make mistakes(even in their marriages)
Lastly, have you come across anywhere in the bible where it was written ;'always seek the face of your pastors before marriage' ? I would like you to show me if you ever come across somewhere like that. Or havent we heard of pastors that dont ordain marriages if either party is not a member of their church, is that message also from God? Be a good christian bro, but do not be 'gullible' alongside, the bible commands that we should be smart.

Cheers! smiley

bros, if u really heard from God, take my advice stick to d LORD. u might think theres so much chemistry but i tell u it may not be so. look, God knows d end from d beginning . look up to God n every other thing will fall into place. obedience is better than sacrifice. if u need crisis u can do it ur own way but dont blame anyone but urself

@op God did not create you as a goat, neither did he create you as a monkey nor a baboon he created you as a human being in his own image and likeness. on top of that he gave you a brain superior to all other creatures on earth for you to think, comprehend and make logical decisions. He also gave you a heart and a mind to follow but still when it comes to using them for the simplest of things you turn to him for him to help you use them. If you needed God to tell you who to marry, when to sleep, when to wake up, when to eat, when to ....................... Then I dont think God would have put a brain in your skull. I am not an aethist but I am also not a physically blind, deaf, dumb or brain dead believer in God. Think about it.

Here we go again: Nigerians and God Delusion grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin. Basing one's judgement on an unverifiable being/entity is truly the height of delusion. OP, Go for it if your heart, mind and head says she is right woman for you. I have seen countless of church-arranged marriages failed beyond any remedies and have always asked, 'where was God who revealed to those couples and Pastors that those individuals were meant for each other when their marriages started to collapse'?
Re: -_- by Chivivian125: 3:20pm On Aug 05, 2012
Each time i hear something like dis,i wonder how God spoke to them....in the bible,d people of israelite begged moses to chose among them a prophet who canbe relating God's words to them rather dan he himself cos his voice sounds like raging storm...pentecostals and their wahala....the bible set a standard for marriage...go tru ur bible if at all u are a christian as u claim to be....forget abt what u re not sure of...marriage is all abt compatibility...no one is perfect...as for me,i pray God to bless my union rather than looking for a perfect lot

How are you sure the voice you heard is God's voice.
Maybe its your subconscious mind that sees something unwanted in the girl or see her as a threat ( unconscious insecurity).
Re: -_- by mkpologwu(m): 3:33pm On Aug 05, 2012
Relationship is like a tree. The roots are few but firm, while the leaves are many but loose! Loose becos they like to show off, and easily carried away by the wind not minding a direction!!

Pls stop liking her, and start using her before the wind carries it/her off!!!

Re: -_- by jenny2007(f): 3:39pm On Aug 05, 2012
@aifey, I respect your opinion but this is not the UK. The OP is in nigeria where religion is taking very seriously.
@OP, I'm a christian and I believe that God speaks to us through dreams, visions, our intuition, through others etc. However, I don't believe that you should ask God before actually dating anybody. Dating is a process, you gain experience about relationships through this. You said that you always ask God's permission before going into a relationship. Is this to save you a heartbreak or what? I think you that one should only seek God's opinion on a relationship if he/seek is thinking of settling down. That's a life-time commitment and you need God's view on that.
