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....

BECOME AN INTENTIONAL MAN.

You were born a male but becoming a man is factor of a deliberate effort you must make daily through the strength of Christ.  To become the kind of man God has ordained you to become, you must understand the specific plan God ORDAINED for you. This can be done when you pay attention to God's personal dealing with you via His Word. Your first responsibility is to dwell in the presence of God. Your second responsibility is to submit to the instructions of the Father. Your third responsibility is to discover your dream (your calling or purpose or life assignment). Your third responsibility is to be intentional and diligent in your dream and produce result/solution. After all the above is in place, that's when you can think of dating/marriage.  These are not my words but how God dealt with Adam in the book of Genesis 2, before He presented a Woman to Him. So, if you think being a man is about chasing women and money. You are abusing yourself.  According to God's standard, the...

EMBRACE YOUR AUTHORITY

Dear Men of Godly Value, In the tapestry of life, you stand as pillars, either as fathers and husbands or as those destined for these sacred roles. Your strength lies not just in muscle and might, but in the clarity of your direction, forged by purpose and calling in Christ. Each step you take, every decision you make, contributes to the legacy you're building. As you navigate the complexities of life, remember the profound impact of fighting the good fight of faith. It is in this struggle that you find not only strength but also the unwavering clarity of your calling. Your authority as a male figure isn't rooted in dominance but in your commitment to divine purpose. Leading your generation, guiding your wife or lover, and nurturing your family all hinge on the authenticity of your connection with your calling. Without this alignment, the compass of your leadership may falter. So, embrace the journey, seek that constant clarity, and let the light of your faith illuminate your p...

THE NATURE OF A MAN'S VISION

Brothers, it is important for you to understand that the strenhth of your life dwells in the strength of your vision. Vision is the mental picture of the problems God has wired you to solve in the future through your purpose, calling or capacity. There is a healthy vision and unhealthy vision. A healthy vision is the type that is caught through the inspiration of God's Word in your heart. Unhealthy vision is the type that is feeds humans ego and pride. As a man, it is important for you to have a defined vision that is cultivated from God's Word. If you don't have a vision, you won't be able to feature in the future. As a man, where are you heading to in life, and what's dictating your direction in life? Is it God's personal dealings with you or human logic? Catching a vision starts with your self discovery, through the knowledge of God's Word. What do you see in the next five to twelve years from now? Whose problem are you hungry to solve? Whose pain do you ...
