THE PROPOSAL

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”-

Amos 3:3

Quite a number of “marriage- age” people may be

familiar with this line: “God said you are my…”

Well, while God may reveal a future partner if He

wills, He does not force wives or husbands on

people. One of the greatest gifts He gave to man

is the gift of choice. This means that He has

given you the right to choose your spouse out of

your findings (Proverbs 18:22) . So, don’t be

deceived or deceive others with this phrase.

I have heard humorously said that after God gave

the first man, Adam, a woman whom he chose to

be his wife but later on blamed God for after the

fall (Genesis 3:12) , God stopped bringing only

one choice for a spouse, per individual. Now, it is,

“Whoso findeth…” Each one shall find his or her

own and stick to his or her choice.

However, your choice should be based on facts,

which should be formed from the person’s

spirituality, personality, style and your

preferences. You shouldn’t base your decision on

dreams, because it can be bogus. You should

also not wait for a voice as you might begin

hearing yourself speak. You must gather facts

about the intended person, and this comes with

knowing who you are, what you want and what

suits you best.

The choice is not only left to the man alone, but

the woman must also decide on whose proposal

she’d accept. Walking the right path of marriage

can be very stress-free and colourful, if you give

it a right approach. Gather facts and you will be

less confused in making choices. With the

information gathered, you would know if he or she

walks in line with your God-given vision or not.

You shall not fall victim to marital errors in the

name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!
