jookunlaja: God bless you,I can assure you that the determination to know God's perfect will in marrage is one of the best decisions any Christian can ever make in life.
Firstly,I want you to know that some scholars say that we have 4 types of WILL namely:
1.Perfect will of God--this is getting the real blessing which God in His divine wisdom knows is the best for your life,though most times we find it very difficult to agree with God but in the end,one will surely thank God for His foresight,wisdom and direction.

2.Permissive will of God--God may eventually allow his child to have his/her way after many begging and considerations.Of course you should be able to bear the consequences of your neglecting God's will for your life.King Saul was given to the Israelites grudgingly by God.Many old testament saints practiced polygamy which God frowns at but He reluctantly permitted them to divorce/remarry/or marry many wives out of endurance.Believe me,each of them that tried those things came back to regret their actions later.

3.Self Will--Closely knitted with permissive will though this may be completely outside God's plan for the individual.The Israelites decided in their own will/volition to go out and attack the enemies without God's permission and they were massacred like christian chickens,for deciding to embark on an action not sanctioned by God.Samson had a covenant with God not to intermingle with unbelievers in marriage but he blatantly ignored God's directive and slept on Delilah's lap and he met himself in the mortuary.Solomon knew clearly that marrying the daughters of Pharaoh was against God's will for him but he disobeyed and he ended up a wretch.

4.Satanic/Demonic Will--Powers of darkness can super-impose their own will on human beings in order to fulfill satanic mandate or try to frustrate God's plan.

Now knwing God's will in marriage is as simple as A,B,C.
Firstly,the person must be a born again Christian.Who is actively desiring God's perfect will in his /her life.

Secondly,God delights in fellowship and not just ATM card users approach/fire-brigade style.We must get close to God out of love for him and not just to get him to give us just our daily bread.God desires children who will know and obey him in every aspect of their lives.You should not just start becoming spiritual because you want him to give you his perfect will for your life in marriage,career,fruit of the womb etc.Seek God,befriend him and one day even without asking he will surely reveal intimate details about your life to you.

The secrets of God are with those who fear him--psalm 25.
God cannot do anything without revealing it to his prophets(children,lovers and friends in the secret place of prayer)
How do you know God more/better

1.Read your bible,pray everyday--if you want to grow.Abandon any sin that may stand to block your access to God

2.Fellowship and learn to follow God's leading/direction in ordinary day-to-day activities of your life.
instead of just banging into his presence because you want a a wife/husband,job,baby,house,healing,prosperity etc right now.When you begin to follow God's leading on a daily basis,it would become very easy for you to know his mind concerning major decisions of your life.

Mckybarf: We have rights to all things but not all things are expedient unto us- so says Paul. There rules to every game and you better play by them or quit- period: modelling as a job isnt bad in itself but being a christian might be led to comprise on certain things which is highly inevitable so why not stay out and have your peace of mind. Let the dead bury their dead- says Christ. Note, the moment your conscience judges you on something, you are already condemned. If you think you can go through that career without a trace of guilt, then just have at it, if not, get out or seek councelling from a trusted spiritual leader.

Ramcie: Wow! Back then, I could sing practically all their songs. It's been long I listened to them though I still have their CD's. The last of their songs which I memorised was MANDY.

Voned: I really used to love westlife when I was in secondary school I knew almost all their songs offhand since they wrote the lyrics on the screen I remember
My love
World of our own
Flying without wings
Angels wing
I don't wanna fight
Somebody need you
You make me feel
No no
Soledad
Tell me what makes a man
To mention a few , I can't believe I hardly listen to them now and I used to have a crush on Mark then

Omofranca: Interesting dilemma! A beautiful Christian would-be model was dropped by model scouts on DSTV's reality programme, 'Scouted' because she gave too many conditionalities like "no underwear modelling" or "no too revealing clothes." It's possible but he/she should be prepared to be turned down or to turn down many lucrative but faith compromising deals especially if targetting the international scene.
