ethankareem, God stopped choosing spouses for man after the well-known "The woman whom You gave to be with me..." infamous line.
The onus, since after then, is on the man, through proxy or not, to find a wife, a good thing, and receive favor from God.

God chose Rebecca for Isaac. Your comment is a complete falsehood. Read Genesis 24:14

If you don't lean on your own understanding... and in all your ways you acknowledge him,

He will direct your path.

All you need to do is ask for his direction, and he will give it unto you.

People still ask....and he still responds.

Read Genesis 24:14
When all is said and done, it's you at the end of it all, that makes the choice
God help you, that you find a wife, find a good thing and obtain favour from God

Notice, Eliezer, on behalf of Abraham, and for Isaac, asked for God's direction etcetera
and when the decision time came for action, Eliezer made a choice.

You are a criminal for this nonsense you just spouted.

God controls everything. He is the one that links man and woman, he is the one that makes them marry each other.
God is in absolute control of the universe.
It is criminal you disregard that, a horse can be led to water, but you cant make it drink

Apart from Adam's case and the other time, of God telling Hosea, to take on an unwelcome spouse,
when and where else has God chosen spouses for Man?

The Bible says that the heart of men is DESPERATELY WICKED who can know it?

Regardless of appearance, it is very important to let God choose one's spouse.

you don't know who wants to marry you...God knows him or her.

It was God that brought eve to Adam...

God is still in the business of doing the same IF YOU LET HIM.




If God choose for Adam then what make her disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit. You lie on your bed the way you lay it, we should stop putting all thing on God when we are vision blurred by sin, the pastors that received from God are human being as we and they can be mislead also due to humans flesh. In my own opinion the girl is short sighted on her own I believe. My pastor say type of people are no go area in my own way because the same pastor will be the one controlling their matrimonial home, except you're ready to marry the pastor.

Been dating this lady for a year plus now, all of a sudden she said more than 1 prophet told her I am gonna treat her bad in future if we ever get married.......

Was surprised when she told me cause I am a very easy going person and in sight of trouble, I take off. And I hate violence and I let things go easily.

May be the pastor wan dey pansh d girl so he needs to clear u from his way. If she really love u, she won't give up dat easily, and if theirs any honesty in dat vision prayers can help avat those small bleak future. I believe we choose our woman/man and pray to God to make them our wife/husband.

God does not chose a wife or husband, job, business etc for anyone, however, the knowledge of God's principles guides you to make any decision in your life.

Before the Advent of present day churchism, our parents and grands married and even kept polyfamirs without divorce or several issues of today. We have been enormously deceived.

Mattied requires conscious hard work with various levels of committments, sacrifices, mutual respects and understanding to make it work. Full stop

God chooses NOTHING for anybody. You choose for yourself based on your desires. Wake Up from your indoctrinated brainwashing and bible stories.

OK

So you could explain that to your friend as politely as possible.

Try to understand her (current) mindset of seeking approval from so-called prophets and avoid coming down as judgmental on her.

In all, learn the lessons from the situation and remain focused on living out your purpose

Thanks again for sharing

Cheers!

When you meet someone and you find them appealing, and then you find yourself falling in love with them, will you say it was God who showed you your spouse if eventually you married and she turned out to be an evil person? Would you say they were chosen by God if they turn out to be sweet and nice after marriage? Definitely yes, because they turned out good.

God allows us to make our choices, so you don't end up blaming him at the long run. That was also the reason why He gave us freewill, to be able to decipher good women from the bad ones.
No need reading the next page. I doubt if anyone will make more sense, you've said it all.

Adam's case and the other time, of God telling Hosea, to take on an unwelcome spouse,

Did God not choose that Adam and Eve not eat of the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil?

God does not override choices we make or take.

Probably those prophets are seeing what you don't know however, i think she was foolish to have told you instead of keeping it to herself while she go on her knees in prayers to seek clarification from God himself. The same God that spoke to those prophets will talk to her. Are you financially buoyant?

Why cant you aim playing the ball, instead of aiming to stomp on and kicking the foot?

The power of choice resides with man.
Judges 14:2-3 is one of the many examples of this
Re: Does God Choose A Spouse For You? by Solomyn(m): 9:17am On Nov 18, 2018
The Bible said when a man find a wife. Not when God gave u or find for him. If our Lord can not force salvation to mankind how then earthly wife? Remember our Lord only create if as a companion but Adam say she will be my wife. So Adam finds her. God will only make you see things Abt her if u are okay it fine. Remember the story of Isaac when he sent his servant to a village to bring a certain lady as his wife but the servent saw a lady on his path that her kindness was good and brought her to Isaac.
