*Courtship Guide for Christian Singles: Preparing for a Healthy and Lasting Christian Marriage*

As Christian singles, it's essential to understand the distinction between courtship and dating. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they have different meanings and implications.

*Courtship: A Biblical Approach*

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16, AMP)

Courtship is a biblical model for relationships between a man and a woman, leading to marriage. It's characterized by a commitment to God's principles and a focus on building a lifelong partnership (Psalm 11:3; 2 Timothy 2:19). Courtship begins when a man expresses his intention to marry a woman, and she accepts his proposal.

*Dating: A Worldly Approach*

"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you." (1 John 2:15-16, NLT)

Dating, on the other hand, prioritizes romance and physical intimacy over commitment and marriage. This approach often leads to negative consequences, such as unwanted pregnancies, abortions, heartbreak, financial loss, and even su***de.

*Key Differences*

The primary differences between courtship and dating are:

1. *Focus*: Courtship focuses on building a lifelong partnership, while dating emphasizes romance and physical intimacy.
2. *Commitment*: Courtship involves a commitment to marry, whereas dating often lacks a clear commitment.
3. *Principles*: Courtship is guided by biblical principles, while dating is often driven by worldly values.

In conclusion, as Christian singles, it's crucial to adopt a biblical approach to relationships, prioritizing courtship over dating. By doing so, you'll be better equipped to build a strong, lifelong partnership that honors God.

"And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30, AMP)

Stay focused, remain blessed, and rapturable in Jesus' mighty name.

Who Are Your Friends?

"And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to the will I give it, and to thy seed forever. (Genesis 13:14-15, KJV)

The kind of relationship or friends that we associate with in the journey of life has a lot of bearing and influence upon our lives - either negative or positive.

Until we stopped moving with such people, God wouldn't speak to us; and sometimes when we have been blinded by our friendship with such people GOD WOULD THEN ALLOW SUCH "friends " TO DISAPPOINT US! So that He can have our undivided attention.

Some us would have gone farther than where we are now and achieve greater things for God and ourselves.

Who are your friends? Who do you associate with? What has your association with them brought to your life?

Don't get me wrong: I am not saying you should start getting suspicious of people around you. Far from it! But carry out a personal audit of your "friends " with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Your relationship will either EXALT or DEMOTE you! Make sure you are not travelling on the right track with the wrong people!

Stay blessed and prosperous in Jesus name.

Good morning
