The Marriage Proposal - Part 1





Amos 3:3 Can two walk together except they agree.

You are welcome to MEN OF GODLY VALUE. In this month of September, we shall be looking into a topic the Holy Spirit has instructed me to teach through His Grace. Last month (August), we looked into the issue of ‘WHERE IS THE KING?’ and the Lord was able to deal with certain issues we’ve over looked.

Praise God!

Let’s go into the business of the day. May the Holy Spirit help you to learn and understand His intention on this subject in Jesus Name.

You are welcome to this seminar and on this platform. The Holy Spirit wants to teach us the truth of Him Word on this subject. I am writing this by His Grace; I don’t know it all or have it all or seen it all. In Christ Jesus my knowledge in complete.

What is proposal?

Proposal is a SUGGESTION, APPLICATION, PLAN or OFFER for a relationship a man presents to a lady with the option of her accepting or decline. These usually come with the freedom of choice and decision. These always flow with the path of passion and interest. There is no need or room for manipulation and domineering attitude. These is not a do or die affair. It’s some thing that works base on the free will of the lady and the man involved.

Proposal is so special and it’s not some thing you should force any one. The first thing I want to address here is the proposal of “will you date me?”

The question above is a question some men are quick to ask and some ladies are quick to hear but there is more to it. Like the scripture stated, two people will never walk together except they agree willingly.
Proposal involves two people who need to sit, think and consider the possibility of shouldering the responsibility that comes along with the decision to walk together. It’s not a thing to celebrate but a matter that will demand your time and decision making. It’s the consciousness and consideration of the responsibility that comes with the decision making.

Just like some men do, you don’t start a serious relationship with a stranger. You can’t engage in a serious relationship with a lady that’s a stranger. She must first be your friend. You can’t have a serious relationship with a lady you don’t know or understand.

Relationship or dating some one is more than the beauty of the lady. It’s the matter of divine purpose and destiny. The relationship you keep can break you or build you. It can keep you in focus or distract you. Your decision and the motive behind your decision count.

To be continued....

Men - Guard Yourself

Dear Man of Godly Value, Your life is not ordinary — it carries a weight of divine purpose. That’s why you cannot afford to live carelessly or without boundaries. You must be intentional about building principles that surround your heart, your choices, and your space. Not everything should be accessible to you, even if it looks good or feels right in the moment. Why? Because your destiny demands clarity, focus, and discipline. When you know where you're going, you learn to say “no” with conviction and “yes” with purpose. Brother, you are not just protecting yourself — you are guarding a vision, a calling, and an assignment. You must create standards that decide who you allow close, what you give your time to, and how you respond to challenges. These principles will serve as your compass when temptations come, when distractions arise, and when people don’t understand your path. Without this internal framework, even a great man can fall. Be the kind of man whose values speak louder t...

THE PURPOSE OF A MAN

A man is not just a male by biological configuration—he is a bearer of responsibility, identity, and spiritual leadership. Genesis 1:26 says, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion...” The first description of man was not a title or a role, but a likeness—a reflection of God's nature and authority. To be a man is to carry the weight of divine intention. You were not made for survival; you were created for significance. So, who are you when titles are stripped away? What remains of your identity when applause fades? Why is a man needed? Because order demands his presence. When God formed Adam, He placed him in the Garden to “work it and take care of it” (Genesis 2:15). The man was God’s steward over creation, a governor over environments, and a cultivator of purpose. The world groans not just for more males, but for true men—those who will take responsibility, create solutions, and preserve values. Have you asked yourself lately—what am I culti...

Men! Say No to Gaslighting

My brother, you were not created to be anyone’s emotional punching bag. You are a man made in the image and likeness of God, crowned with dignity, purpose, and strength. Refuse to settle for emotional manipulation masked as love. Gaslighting is not love—it is control wrapped in confusion. When someone constantly makes you question your reality, your worth, or your sanity, that is not your safe place; that is a toxic trap. “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9). It is not prideful or unloving to walk away from consistent abuse and dishonor. Love does not cancel your humanity. You are allowed to have peace. You are allowed to protect your heart. You are allowed to say, “This is not healthy for me.” Don’t feel guilty for choosing growth, healing, and emotional stability. Even Jesus walked away from places where He was dishonored (Mark 6:5-6). If He didn’t stay where He was not received, why should you? Sometimes, the guilt you feel isn’t the...
