Today attended SOL lessons It was on : COURTSHIP!!!
It was great made me realise that hmmm finding a right one one is so important!!! I do not deny there are people who are happily in love and their relationships do work out but take a look on the contrary ha look at the failed relationships or insecure relationships..... Ha i am not stereotyping at the young people this days but since most of such occurs to the youth age groups.
Going into relationship isn't only about two person of the opposite gender being fond of each other and thus get together being steady . So ONLY GO INTO COURTSHIP IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO LOOK FOR A LIFE PARTNER!!!
Today's culture many people are going 'steady' or 'stead' but they are never going into relationship on a basis where they are looking at marriage. Many are just going into relationship for many reasons . Which you can refer to Wayne's previous post for deeper insights.
Guys think why are the church so strict and even our leaders being so persistent in the area of lust, relationship???? It is not an easy task for our leaders to be keeping tabs on our BGR relational affairs .
- It takes up their time
- It worries them
- It's huge dissapointment to them
Our leaders are doing this out of their own obligations. We have to understand that it is God will for us to find our designated one that God has for us.
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.(Genesis 2:22-25)
The leaders are doing this too as they understand the grave circumstances of going into relationship which is not of Godly appointment. Other than that, when we go into an relationship without the blessings & spiritual covering of our spiritual leaders, the realtionship will not develop into a healthy one, many risks are adherent from it e.g adverse effect on personal spiritual walk , risk of uncontrolled intimacy (pre-marital sex) , failed relation which might lead to strongholds within self
So we have, to be patient and wait for the correct appoited spouse that God has designated for us. God has planned the best one for us so let's not compromise God's standards and even deprive ourselves of the best that God has for us .
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22)
