That was how a prophet told my paddy that a very good lady who was supposed to be his Wife no be him ordained Wife from above, when he told me, i advised him to mind the prophet, if your ppl don approve here, just go ahead.
Few months later my paddy took another lady to same prophet and he affirmed that the new lady na him Wife, fast forward to 8months after the Wedding, this ordained Wife Stab my paddy for arm over minor argument that ensued after she repeatedly burnt what she was cooking while watching Zeeworld. The rejected one is now married with 3kids while the Ordained one never carry belle sef, everyweek she must break bottle. Pray for God's direction when u dey find Husband/Wife, no let Pastor/prophet dictate to you.

No he doesnt,

God only presents, You do the choosing. If God chose spouses for us, he would be taking responsibility for the failures in that marriage.

How can you say God will choose a spouse for you, when he could as well chosen other vital things in your life such as Salvation.

God only Presents , We do the choose. To make the Right choice, we have to WATCH and PRAY!

When all is said and done, it's you at the end of it all, that makes the choice
God help you, that you find a wife, find a good thing and obtain favour from God

Notice, Eliezer, on behalf of Abraham, and for Isaac, asked for God's direction etcetera
and when the decision time came for action, Eliezer made a choice.

It is criminal you disregard that, a horse can be led to water, but you cant make it drink

Apart from Adam's case and the other time, of God telling Hosea, to take on an unwelcome spouse,
when and where else has God chosen spouses for Man?

Stop misquoting Scriptures

Proverbs 19:14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord


And a foolish woman is from the Lord too.

Ecclesiastes 7:26
And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

But what did God tell her personally?

She has met someone else who is ready to marry her now hence this gimmick. God does not choose our spouses. He directs us and it is up to us to make that choice.

Where was God when that 13 old year old girl was raped to death?

Satan is the god of this world because Adam handed it over to him and God doesn't break his laws.

The act of choosing between a prudent or foolish wife, just like as in Judges 14:2-3, is with you

God has told only two people to take their spouses,
Hosea was directly told and Joseph indirectly told via an angel.

Regardless of appearance, it is very important to let God choose one's spouse.

you don't know who wants to marry you...God knows him or her.

It was God that brought eve to Adam...

God is still in the business of doing the same IF YOU LET HIM.

Brother read that portion very well, God did not force eve on Adam

ethankareem, God stopped choosing spouses for man after the well-known "The woman whom You gave to be with me..." infamous line.
The onus, since after then, is on the man, through proxy or not, to find a wife, a good thing, and receive favor from God.

My best comment ever! This is what used to tell people who cares... after Adam blamed God for the woman He gave him, God decided to mandate man find his wife.

He said "he that findeth a good wife, has found a good thing and obtaineth favour from the Lord" ...

He didn't say "he that I giveth a wife..."

And this has been my watchword.

Was surprised when she told me cause I am a very easy going person and in sight of trouble, I take off. And I hate violence and I let things go easily.
yes GOD chooses your spouse. its called twin flame. your spouse was already chosen for you before you were born. when you meet each other ? that was the illusion of coincidence but it was GOD who put two of you together to meet when you met. your spouse is chosen for you in the spirit world based on your spiritual constitution as in if you need to be punished, then you will receive a wicked spouse. to further help you I can do the spiritual compatibility if you give me both your date of births I can tell you if it going to be a disaster or not.

You have a Bible, go and study it for yourself
God was in the same place He always is, when He was assaulted, brutalised, ridiculed
and lastly put to death on trumped-up charges

God gave the earth to man and it's like when you allocate a room in your house for your son or daughter
Just because your son's or daughter's room is messy doesnt mean you've lost control of the house or home
It doesnt mean you are about, when the bedroom wall was defaced or when the room got dirty

When looking for a woman to marry, because you are waiting on God , don't open your mouth and woo a lady with your own mouth. Wait for the angels in heaven to come and do the job for you. By the time you are 75 years old without a wife , your brain will reset to know you go a fishing by your self and for your self.


Wait there on God to find you a woman, He will soon come.

My case is different. The man I'm seeing said we cannot marry because his parents doesn't approve of my town. How do I seek God's face in this? When we are both compatible? Can prayers change their minds?
Re: Does God Choose A Spouse For You? by somehow: 11:45am On Nov 18, 2018
Your Bible must be fake, please quote what is in verse 14 because my Bible says something different.

Abraham directed his eldest servant to where a wife for Isaac is to be gotten. Stop twisting the Bible before God twist your life!

Read Gen 24 from the start for clarity.

God is not in business of taking decisions for you,hence the reason you have a brain,mind and heart.
