Lamanii22:God doesn't, but the same bible asks us to commit our ways into the Lord's hand. After Adam blamed God for giving him eve, God has stopped that match making thing. Those he later played a part in who dey marry, samson and hosea, it was for reason/proverb. Marry someone you love and respect, no one is perfect, hence why we have pastors getting divorced, pastor "wilson-ing' ladies. Some married who they don't love and who they are not attracted to on the premise of "God said". God cannot be mocked, we should pray and commit all our "ways" into the Lord's hand, not asking him who should marry specifically, he doesn't choose our spouse for us. I'm so sure bout that 2 Likes 1 Share |

BULLIONVAN4:Oga, that your story is so flawed. The thing is 1. Your dad and mom both have patience 2. They understand each other 3. They respect each other. I've people, alot that they both confirmed that "God" led them to eachother, even external claimed their marriage is made from heaven, but are divorced now, explain that. Please don't tell me a different God spoke to your dad o |

psalmuelwater:Lol, Even though I sense a bit of close mindedness in you I will still give this a shot. Yes God direct people to one another and at the same time gives permissible will (sometimes let people marry their will) It all depends on his level of interest. I'm not saying God doesn't have interest in all souls, every soul is important but he has special interest in some people ( most times his vessels, battle axes and warriors) These people God will monitor and direct everything about them especially their marriages. God will tell them who to marry because their marriage is important in his mission for them. So don't be surprised or unbelieving when you hear some people say God chose for them. Now to your question, Obeying God in choosing a life partner does not mean the marriage will be rosy, likewise hearing from God does not prove spiritual maturity and total faith and obedience to God. These sets of people you mentioned heard from God but do not have the faith in him to obey in totality. The major purpose of God's acknowledgement to his children's marriages is not to protect or prevent challenges in marriages but to be the end to such challenges. To be the one to cry to when things get tough. Now if these children decide to use their own human knowledge and go their separate ways, how can you blame God? He is ever present and ready to help but they (humans) refused to call. How is it his fault? That said, can one really be certain of these God spoke to me claims? Man, know thyself! 2 Likes |

Re: Am I The One To Choose Who To Marry Or God? by Nobody: 10:42pm On Oct 20, 2019 |
Lamanii22:Yes there is. But first I need to ask do you have a relationship with God? Because that is the most important relationship a being ought to be in. We all will die and give account with no relations or spouse beside us.It is solely personal! and it would be a shame if our earthly relationships prevent us from entering in to the kingdom of God because we value it more. Please put God first. Now, about praying about it. God is not a wicked God, he will never give you a cross too had for you to bear. He knows you , even to your emotional capability. If you pray and he says No, it's because he knows you will be able to detach yourself and survive it and he has bigger plans. But if he says go ahead it's because there is no danger in the relationship. But then I will besiege you to move closer to him because he is the revealer of all things and he knows best. 2 Likes |

Lamanii22: See, let me tell you something, God is not the God of confusion truly. He is true to His words. It's possible the women turn your uncle down because alot of people don't want to do the will of God. There's will of God and there's will of man. When God directs your uncle, does not mean the woman will accept, you knw some people are just meant for destruction no matter how u try to save them, they might have told the 4 women ur uncle met as well. God will tell your uncle to meet the first woman, that He has a hand in the marriage and the woman may reject because maybe ur uncle doesn't have money or not good looking enough and even if another pastor had told her before, she may say, she will rather remain single than to marry ur uncle etc. let me tell you to watch the marriage lives of those women closely, it will be tougher for them all if truly the Holy spirit instructed ur uncle. 1 Like |

Lamanii22: I followed your question as well as the answer you got - Good answer. Don't be scared about the future. Just do what you are suppose to do and you will be fine. Understand that the will of God for you in marriage is very simple. God is very clear about it. If you are in doubt, consult the Holy Bible. Make no mistake about it. Don't Mary an unbeliever. Mary A True Believer. Someone that knows God and have the fear of God. This is the ground on which you must build your marriage and be happy. Otherwise...... 1 Like |

Ariza:I will want you to substantiate your epistle with bible verses. After the garden of eden event, I repeat , God stopped giving spouses. Did Adam searched before getting eve? No. She was just there waiting. But now, the bible says, he who "finds" a good wife, obtains favour from the Lord. Now, he who finds the opposite nko? Obtains fire be that. We are suppose to find our wives, i mean make research and do alot of background check. God will bless any marriage irrespective of who you bring to the altar, except gays. It is our responsibility to make it work. Imagine how irresponsible adam was? He couldn't speak like a man, he couldn't defend his home, he hung his wife to dry, and a simple question, he blamed God for giving him an helpmate. The bible is clear about who we have to marry, and if we follow those guidelines we can never be wrong. If she is a believer and loves God, and you two keep the bed undefiled, and you understand amos 3:3, and you have a Job/business to cater for your home. I think you are good to go. Pray, i've not said don't pray, some things are spiritual in each families you are intending to get married to, If you are a true child of God, something will just have that you two won't get married, that is why courtship period is a period to research, learn and pray. Alot of you proponents of "God says" can't and will never marry God's will for our life. If God tells you to marry a blind/crippled woman, i'm sure you'll change it , that the realm is polluted with different voices. Everyone wants a beautiful, elegant, nice ,sexy lady as wife. That is why he gave us eyes, and asked us to find, that we should check well before bringing them to the altar, because once he blesses the Union, he hates divorce. Or come to think of it, if your fiancee dies a few days before the wedding and you heard it from God loud and clear, will you remain single for the rest of your life, or God has immediately created another wife for you that you'll later get married to? Or maybe we have spare spouses incase something happens Think about it very well, God doesn't have to tell you marry this or that |

God speaks only if u are rooted to him.. A Christian bro or sis that is busy doing God's work will never miss it in marriage.. That's why I advise guys to marry from the church if u know u r an outdoor person.. A prayerful woman is better than a rich lady/beautiful lady if you consider the future |

God can not lie, after the event that took place in the garden of Eden God sworn that he will not chose wife or husband for any body you will make your choice but it now left for you to commit it to God and ask for wisdom there most always be a sign just be Sensitive in the spirit |
