it depends on your relationship with God; for me when I pray about a matter and I don't find peace of mind, then God is not giving me a "go ahead". For some others, they hear a still small voice. Also, you can always confirm if it is God speaking; e.g after I left following the girl I was stubbornly pursuing, on one of my trips, I met this Nigerian Girl who was based in Canada and we became good friends. After narrating my relationship issue to her, she said "what you are looking for is not far away from you, look around your office". To confirm God's voice through her, the lady that came to mind was a colleague and a friend. Before I even spoke to her about it, I asked two close friends & brothers to pray along with me and they came back saying the coast is clear. I spoke to my parents too and they prayed & approved (note; they had never seen this girl before & she was a different tribe). A pastor's wife even had a vision about this. All this cemented the first word I heard from my "Canadian" friend. To crown it all, when I eventually spoke to her, she told me she has been waiting for me for about a year. She told her parents, they prayed & gave her the go ahead. Its been bliss all the way. Pls I insist that you follow God's guidance. Its for your own good. If not, you will regret it PS: at the time I spoke to her, she was my senior in the office; her salary was like 2x mine but within a few months I got promoted and I'm ahead of her now. 3 Likes |

God do speak to people but in different ways, i prefer him speak to me myself. I have been through this situation before, i dreamt it not possible but i went ahead and trust me it was a bitter end. @OP and all others who has had God's voice pls follow it_ it is not about now but later never let your emotional feeling over shadow God's plan for your marriage. My little advice |
| Re: -_- by Sealeddeal(m): 6:34pm On Aug 05, 2012 |
If its God's advice u have recieved,the lady should receive similar advice because Joseph and Mary recieved same advice from an angel and this helped them.so it remain largely a farce if u continue to be adviced alone by God afterall u claimed that both of u are born again.dnt decieve urself or allow urself to be decieved. |

Another doctrinal victim. its a good thing to pray, but praying for something at your disposal is just ignorant and overly religious. Saying God told you a categorically 'NO' and confirmed by another source says it all. Now listen, before expressing an interest in a sister there has to be an attraction, and I could see that you're attracted to this girl in question. Fasting and praying for a girl you've never talk to is outrageously bizarre and unscriptural. If you found a girl, your desire is met. If she's not yours, the relationship wouldn't last. Without trying out a sister, you wouldn't know who's meant for you. Remember "the desire of righteous shall be met". What you desire is what you get if you have faith. There are just some things which we ought not to pray for, why? It's already done and established in heaven. What even gives you the assurance that this lady would like to date you? She might just give six inches nail on the head. Note: you have to approach a lady like a normal decent person would. Don't you ever go with God say this or that. You have to date her first, take her to places of interest and make her feel like a woman. Remember, she's a woman first, then a human and finally a Christian. If God wouldn't want both of you together, HE would also confirmed it to the lady. |

@Poster. I think from what i've read so far, only one person seem to have given you a good answer - You can ask God to give you wisdom on how you will tell her or handle the situation. |
| Re: -_- by Smallville4live(m): 7:02pm On Aug 05, 2012 |
Just keep on praying for God's direction. He will never fail you. |
| Re: -_- by Tolaaaaannni(f): 7:04pm On Aug 05, 2012 |
@op You need to let her go then, and the reason i say this is , because my uncle got married to a woman that different pastors had confirmed that that wasn't his wife. But my uncle married her anyways, because he claimed he loved her.To make the long story short, Their marriage is not an happy one and it isn't the kind of marriage that i would wish upon anyone. The only reason why my uncle stayed with this lady is because of their 4 children that they had together. If God keeps telling you No, then i suggest you listen to him. |

All things are good but not all things are beneficial, you don't have to try out a sister like before you know she's the one. God is interested in every aspect of our lives. Check out the life of David, even when the enemy seems easy to conquer, he always asks God; "should I go ahead? will you give me victory?". You don't have to approach a lady with "thus says the Lord" line. The things of the spirit is foolishness to the carnal man. He can not understand because they are spiritually discerned. paris10: Another doctrinal victim. its a good thing to pray, but praying for something at your disposal is just ignorant and overly religious.

How long have u been with her? Have u study her character? Do u realy love her? And how do you mean when u said that, the girl realy make sense? So many question beging for answer here, Pls explain, my brother God is no longer interested in that business of choosing parthner to anybody again, to avoid being blamed at the end of the day you know the story of adam and eve, adam blame God because of eve, therefore he said if a man found a wife he has find a good thing and he shall receive favour from the lord.and similarly how does God spoke to you? Thrugh ur pastor? A prophet? Or he spoke to you one on one? So many brothers and sisters have wasted their time just because they are waiting for mr and mrs right, they end up waiting in vain and they have forgoten that nobody is perfect, even the so call born again end up clashed in their mariages, so many of them also have broken home, you see we all have our shortcoming, but with time we get to understand each other better, without understanding no mariage will ever last long, and finally if God realy spoke to you, why are u still asking question on what to do? Bro don't deceive ur self and don't alow anybody to deceive you. My respect |

Just like Abraham did not ask God when Vergil: Define "life altering mistakes"Sarah offered him Hagar. Boko-Haram is one of the offshoots of that decision. |

| Re: -_- by kunlaxo: 7:36pm On Aug 05, 2012 |
I heard someone quoting Hosea in this situation..na wao.God was only using Hosea as an allegory to show Isreal's stubborness..it shows that isreal still continue disobeying God after his forgivenss..like the story reads, the prostitute woman Hosea married still went to meet her customers after given birth and married to a prophet Hosea. My own question for the op is.. what's voice did u hear? and how was d message passed to u that makes u think shes not meant for u? because satan also uses familiar spirits to speak in order to confuse and bring dangerous marital delay such that it wl get to a point u will now be running helter skelter looking for what is not lost. Get this clear..i am not saying God is not speaking..There is a time called raining season.. time when all ladies will just wish to have u and because u r still looking sparkling and capable of getting your own suitor to marry thats is mostly around age 27 -35..once past this range it may be difficult to get a suitor as most ladies dont wish to marry eldersss.. Secondly, their is a season called dry season btw age 38-48 when ladies are no more forthcoming for you to even seek Gods face as presume by u because at dry season to even get any good and loving lady will take only the mercy of God if u ever find any..why? Because they only want your cash and never really wish to marry any old cargo..i often hear ladies say they dont want to marry men too older than they are because of sex.perfomance at such old age Now my own opinion.If you truly hear from God please close ur mind and trust him for a better one because if you find Gods will 4ur life you will be happy and she will agree to ur proposer and she will also confirm to you and God wl bless both of u with favour and divine peace...I got a fine job after getting married and many blessing like a gift of toyota Corolla on my wedding so many sweathless triumph that will show that God is the anchor..Dont depend on pastors because a pastor has once told me a girl was my wife i never had any peace during my dating her and we later broke it until i met my real wife in my professional exam class.. In conclusion.. Try and confirm your mode of hearing from God before u miss this girl and if she is yours things will definately work fine and give u PEACE on all area..you will have no shadow of doubt as i really pray God to realy help u out and give u d best in jesus name..marriage is sweet and fun i have never regret any bit of it.Good Luck. |

obowunmi: Can someone explain this to me? Why am I hurting this much.your own case is even deferent, we don't know weather u have propose to her before or u just go on to fast because you like her, then after ur fasting what is ur result? When u are truly inlove with a girl why do we need to fast about it, it means you are just playing game with her, and that is also a sin before God, and if u did not change that habit I douth if u can ever have anyone to marry, because u will always get the same result |
| Re: -_- by peter2012: 7:52pm On Aug 05, 2012 |

| Re: -_- by mylunch: 8:15pm On Aug 05, 2012 |
You already must have decided what you prefer,i think is entirely ur decision to make.My only advice is that ensure the authenticity of the pastor,or where ever d message may have emanated.If truly this is coming from GOD,i repeat if this is from GOD then it's definitely for your good.Pastor okotie once said God told him clearly,that stphny is his wife,he sounded too sure,sadly enough,today a completely different scene played out. Good luck. |

As regards to finding the right man or woman, you have to be a person first, then spiritual. So you telling me that if I saw a girl I should wait for God to speak before approaching her? This is called Pastor error. You will always hear what you wanted to hear. If you're insecure and lack the boldness to approach a beautiful sister, Ofcourse the answer that would play on your mind would be capital NO, "do not approach". Same happens if you'infactuate, your answer to this one would be "Yes' she's yours". You guys have to be careful about this so-called "hearing from God" tradition that have for long lead many into spiritual deadliness. Don't you know that God has already spoken? Yes, He has said all needed to be said in His book " The Bible". Are you sick, read psalm and stop looking for miracle elsewhere. Are you broke, obey God's word and every other thing will follow. Do need anything in this world, God will supply them. The 'I Will' of God is unconditional, a promise that He will execute. If you find a wife, a spouse, a girl-friend hoping to be wife, God will favour both of you. So my people, if you see anything in this world you like and desire, go for it and do not look back.

God has nothing to do with relationships. Its a pity how christians think God has so much time for them. The summary is that one day u will marry, then have children, then train them if u lucky then u die before them (if u lucky also), so pls stop deceiving yourself thinking there is one special plan for you so much that its important who you marry etc, thats rubbish my brother I can assure u. So u think all the people in that Dana crash did not chose the right spouse or 'think' they were been led by God? Whatever they thought or not when that engine failed that was their end no matter who they were, am sure u heard there were 2 respected men of God aboard infact that just finished preaching. Pls look at the lady for BASIC compatibility features and go on and marry if she is okay. Pls stop fooling with the idea that u are one special creature with a master plan waiting for u, there is nothing like that. |
