Christianity Etc › Does God Tell Us Who to Marry? by Toks2008(op): 8:43pm On Jun 10, 2018*. Modified: 10:15pm On Jun 10, 2018 |
Many people have been decieved into terrible marriages or prevented from marrying a good spouse in the name of "My Pastor said" or "GOD said".
I believe there is so much hypocrisy surrounding this matter. Lets face it..how come people don't seek GOD's face or ask a pastor for confirmation if the prospective spouse is an extreme opposite of what they desire..?
How many educated ladies will bother to ask GOD or pastor to confirm if a known armed robber is the one should such woos for marriage? How many Guys will go to GOD to confirm for them if a popular LovePeddler is the one? But often times we tend to fool ourselves going to a pastor or going to bother GOD to tell us if a seemingly desirous prospective partner comes our way and i tend to wonder.
In the entire scriptures, there were only two instances where GOD expressly gave a clear direction concerning choosing a spouse and in those two instances, it was a very difficult choice and that was when God commanded the prophet Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom.Hosea 1:2. And the second instance was when GOD sked Joseph to marry Mary who was already pregnant.
GOD respects our freedom of choice and for the Christians, we are encouraged to be yoked with fellow Believers and as far as GOD is concerned, A man has the sole responsibility to find a wife and once he finds one and marries her, he obtains favour from GOD. Proverbs 18:22.
The summary of this piece is that we should stop deceiving ourselves by saying 'Prophet said, My pastor said, Alfa said...' because in the real sense, it is our mind telling us what we want to hear. You can rely on your intuition or peculiar signs that gives you confirmation but we should stop hiding behind those words 'GOD SAID'
As a man,it is your paramount duty to search so pray to GOD for guidance and as a lady, pray to GOD that the type of man you desire finds you.
Just as we can see from the scriptures,if GOD ever tells you to marry a certain person then it is most certain that the choice of spouse will be very difficult for you to accept and this is the way you will know that indeed, it is GOD's choice for you
I hope this makes sense.

jedisco: So what's the requirement for a non-EU citizen? It varies a lot. 1.If a foreigner has a child in U.K with a Briton even without marriage it will take 11years to get citizenship. Or a foreigner has a child with a partner who is mot a citizen.. both parent and child will be citizens after about 11years if lucky to remain as illegals that long 2.If you marry a Briton the proper it takes 6years. 3.If you stay as partners it will take years Too many ways but let me stop here. |

Rachelsblog: Not all abroad travelling are bad.. And this is just one of them.. Dayo a Nigerian man who relocated to UK Over 10yrs ago, couldn't hold back his joy as he finally got his citizenship in the Country, Dayo is now officially a British.. Congrats to him.
But Just incase you are thinking what am thinking, these are the things you must by pass:
You're of good character, for example, you don't have a serious or recent criminal record, and you haven't tried to deceive the Home Office or been involved in immigration offences in the last 10 years.
You'll continue to live in the UK.
You Must have lived in the UK for at least the 5 years before the date of your application
Spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years
Spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months
Had settlement (‘indefinite leave to remain’) in the UK for the last 12 months if you’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) Had permanent residence status for the last 12 months if you’re a citizen of an EEA country - you Need to provide a permanent residence document.
Not broken any immigration laws while in the UK, After all these you can now talk about getting one for yourself and family members..lol.
Gossip From Ebiwali-- http://www.ebiwalisgossip.com/2018/06/nigerian-man-celebrates-as-he.html False requirement info. The 5years period only applies to a foreigner who marries a Briton in the proper way or an EU citizen. |

GoodGovernance: Great!
June 12 is more symbolic than May 29.
There is another day like May 29 which is October 21 and they are both handing over dates.
But there is no other day like June 12.The day Nigerians shun all religious and ethnic sentiments to vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the presidency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 12 symbolizes Nigeria's unity of purpose for the common goal!
The annulment of such an election coupled with the arrest,imprisonment and subsequent death of the acclaimed winner,are not events that can be forgotten!

CyynthiaKiss: Buhari, your desperation to retain power is so strong. One thing is certain, you might succeed in deceiving some fanatical yoryuba Muslimns, but you can't deceive Yoruba Christians. We Christian Yorubas will not vote for you in 2019. We won't vote for someone who is busy killing our Christian brothers in north central because we all know that once you are done with northern Christians, you will face southern Christians, Yoruba Christians included during your second tenure. God forbids.!
If Abiola is so special in Yoruba land as you want to paint it, why did my people reject renaming Unilag after him ? Abiola has come and gone, we have our way of mourning and remembering him.
Terrorist Buhari, your antics is dead on arrival .
