The Marriage Proposal - Part 3




COMMUNICATION

Communication is the foundation and strength of relationship. It is a team work that will require the two people to be actively involved. Do you have an effective communication skill? In order for you to have an effective communication skill, you must learn to live a life above assumption and presumption.

The most important thing is your listening skill. Your ability to listen will determine your ability to communicate effectively. If you have a poor listen skill, you will communicate wrongly. Wrong communication skill will affect the way the lady will receive the proposal.

Relationship is not about what you  say; it’s about how you say what you have to say. BE WISE.

Do you have the attitude of phone calls, text messages, whatsup chat? If you don’t, you must learn it before you ask that lady for a serious relationship. If you really like and love a lady, you should be interested in having an effective communication. Love without effective communication is frustration.

Communication is not the major problem. The challenge is what are you really saying? Are your words building, encouraging and inspiring her? Are your words full of suspect, insecurity, abuse and uncertain? Listening to her is not the major problem. The challenge is what are you hearing? Are you listening to her with the interest of knowing and understanding her? Are you listening to her with aim of finding fault? Are you listening for what you want to hear or you are listening to what she’s need to say?

I am so amazed when men tell me they don’t even know how to start a good conversation with a lady. Some men say - I don’t know what to say and how to start the conversation. This shouldn’t be.

My brothers, there many things to discuss; You can start up a conversation about your passion, things that interest you, your believes, your talent, your creativity…etc. You can start with what you know and also ask questions about what you don’t know. Be bold to start a conversation with a lady. Be polite, be direct and be sure she is in the mood for a conversation.

At your first conversation, avoid asking her personal question. Infact, your first assignment is for you to make her feel secure talking to you. Whatsoever you want to know about her, you will have to tell her your own side of the story first…as this will help her to open up to you.

Allow your conversation to make her feel secure enough for her to share personal information. Don’t rush, follow her at her own pace and don’t force it. Don’t try to use gift and money to manipulate the process or her into liking you.

A Call to Men of Godly Value

In a world filled with endless distractions, men of Godly value face a formidable adversary: the relentless assault of distraction. Satan cunningly employs various tactics to divert their focus from discovering, preparing, and deploying their original purpose and assignment in Christ. But in the face of this onslaught, there lies a call—a call to stay steadfast, vigilant, and committed to the divine path set before them. The Battle of Distraction Distraction comes in many forms—be it the allure of material possessions, the pursuit of fleeting pleasures, or the busyness that engulfs our daily lives. Each distraction poses a threat to the clarity of purpose and the fulfillment of our God-given calling. Discovering Your Purpose Central to combating distraction is the pursuit of discovering one's purpose. Every man of Godly value is uniquely crafted with a divine purpose—a purpose intricately woven into the fabric of their being by the Creator. Yet, amidst the chaos of life, it's e...

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...
