IAH: so you are one of those people that tell the gate man not to allow any girl to enter when you are with another girl EH . Yes i think the Gate man must be the first to know. |

Just think if you have two girlfriends and you are with one in the house, you do not want to get caught do you. So you have to tell the gate man not to let the other girl in if she comes. |

l hv always tot u should start datin before tellin the pastor. but he told the church that the church doctrine is to see the pastor b4 the kick off of the relationship.l believe, this is just meant to avoid fornication in relationship before marriage and also recieve good counselling. |
Re: Which One 1st. Will You Start Dating A Girl Or You Will Inform Your Pastors 1st? by desiree(f): 1:14pm On Jul 05, 2006 |
It would be a good idea if you go to the same church, i guess . BUT let the girl know of your intensions first. |

Whoever u date has got nothing to do with your pastor. if u want spiritual guidance ask God yourself. Isnt that praying is about? u can access God directly and ask him woteva u want. No pastor has spiritual seniority over any other christain. wot if the pastor says he doesnt feel like your potential partner is the right one for u would let go just because pastor said? 1 Like |

aykay: it's getting more confusing by the day. does it means our pastors can't advice us on this issue before going into it. what is even the attitude of our ladies to this issue. do they like a third party to know they are going out with a guy? am really disturbed about it. let us throw more light or advice into this topic. |

If the relationship has a direction, you'd better tell those in authority over you. Sometimes, because love has closed our eyes, we don't see the pitfalls, but the elders/ those in authority over us can, cuz they're not the ones in love. Your pastor's also in authority over you, so i don't see why you won't! i did, and i would do it again if i have to. The thing with telling your pastor is for proper counselling. God doesn't just match two Hot people, He matches destiny. Your pastor's not going to telling you whether God has matched this person to you or not, in some cases, yes--but not all. When you tell your pastor, as God's oracle he'd be able to tell you what to do, and how to go about the relationship in a manner that pleases God. He'll also be looking to see that you're not unequally yoking yourself! they are shepherds over their own flock! |

some churches require that before you approach the babe you should contact the pastors to prevent you from "chancing" any incumbent if there is already one. |

Not to go into too many details. Before getting into my current relationship, i prayed about it. Yeah! i knew the guy, liked him and bla! but it's onething to like someone, and it's another for them to be right for you, so i took it to God, and yes, i got an answer that "the boy is mine," so i carried go. As things began to progress--meeting families and stuff, once the issue of the likelyhood of marriage started coming up, i knew it was time to tell my pastor my intentions. Not just because i wanted to get married or something, but because, i needed spiritual guidance. You think it's every time you pray that God will sit you down and counsel you? that's why men and women of God are there. ***Take advantage of it. My pastor asked how i met the guy, how i came to the conclusion the guy's for me, if i prayed about it, what God said about it--questions you would ask your child. Being Christians, he asked the vital questions--is he born again? does he love God, and things along those lines. The reasons being that, as committed Christians, you don't want to marry a person that will hinder your relationship with God, you want someone you can build a home with, someone who you can help fulfil their purpose, and they yours! someone who together, you can labor with in God's vineyard. You want someone who you share common visions with. Family will not tell you that, cuz a lot of cases, they don't know! they will ask you if you love the person, what they do, do you have things in common, does he beat you? things along those lines, but the vital issues of purpose, they won't, but your pastor will. Remember, we're all designed for a purpose, what good is it being with someone who can't help you get there, or who you can't help get to where they're going? It's like joining a horse and a cow together because you want them to plough a farm! yes, you want them to do the same job, but they're not suitable together to be able to pull that plough, hence you join two like animals to do the job! In all honesty, how many marriages do you know are happy/ good? or without severe problem? i believe if a lot of people knew God is joining destinies and not just people who are "compatible" with each other, they'd be more purpose oriented when it comes to choosing a partner, and then we'd not be having the high rate of divorce we're seeing now. There'll be days you don't feel in love, but you stay put because you know this person is "help meet" for you. 1 Like |
