Humility/Tenderness in Courtship

By
What is Humility? Humility means "a state of being humble" Let me use Isaac and Rebecca (from the Bible) as a case study. The hour Rebecca looked up and saw Isaac, she came down from her camel. Rebecca could not afford to meet Isaac while on camel, to meet Issac while on camel would be a sign of pride and arrogance.
During courtship, both parties are expected to come down from their camels. Each party has a camel! Your own camel could be beauty, handsomeness, degrees, wealth, fame, position and gifts. Whatever may be your camel, you have to come down.
Humility will make both the courtship and marriage work. Pride is one of the caterpillars against courtship and marriage. You are admonished to learn from Rebecca though she had a camel, she alighted from the camel when she was about to meet Isaac.
Therefore, courtship calls for display of humility from both sides. Spirit of tenderness is preferred for a stable courtship and marriage. Many courtship collapse because pride is given a foothold. Never allow pride in your heart. Don't feel too big to take correction from your partner.

TEN STEPS TOWARDS A FRUITFUL COURTSHIP

By

There are so many youths whose lives have been made miserable and bitter through broken relationships. In 2013, a Christian sister complained of how her fiance dumped her after years of courtship. During the courtship, they have done the introduction and preparation was on top gear for the wedding. The brother in question had started buying engagement items. Then, one day he told the sister that he was no longer interested because his elder sister would not like to have the fiancee as her sister in-law. The matter was taken to the pastor, but at the end, the relationship crashed. To add salt to the injury, the brother asked the sister to return everything he bought for her.  For peace to reign, the pastor of the sister told her to return what the brother had bought. Another sister cuts her relationship with her fiance after a long time of courtship, citing undesirable characters of the brother for the step she took.  These are two cases out of other numerous 'betrayals&#

WHAT IS MARRIAGE? Marriage is the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship (historically and in some jurisdiction, specifically a union between a man and a woman.  God established the family from the beginning of creation, a family is the smallest unit of the society. The family life begin with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Regrettably, man has introduced many ways to distort the family which God holds in high esteem, despite the fact that God designed the family for a purpose.  The problems plaguing the family started from the first family till date, if the foundation of the family is destroyed, there is no way the purpose which is meant for man's comfort can be realised. God doesn't want His people to be jettisoned. He, therefore, allowed a family set up where people will follow His commands. This is what is referred to as a Christian Home.  Christianity is a way of life and not a religion, there are many forms

Wedding Rehearsal / Church Responsibility

"Marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge" - Heb 13:4 . "Nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal; The Lord knows who are His, and let everyone who names of Christ depart from iniquity" - 2Timothy 2:19 "Let all things be done decently and in order" - 1Corinthians 14:40 The concept of wedding rehearsal, up until now, is like a dice with many sides: being stale a topic of discussion in some Churches; just as fresh to some, while it is even completely strange to some others. It has been in operation in some setting, while some others are of the opinion that it is not necessary, needless or uncalled for.  However, it has been so much neglected in some Churches nowadays, and the consequential result is confusion and commotion in the conduct of wedding, which now gives room to the antagonist of the Church to speak derogatorily about Church wedding; thereby rubbin
