Relationship His Way: PART 2

The Importance of Family & God’s Purpose

  1. Family as God’s Agenda

    • Darkness seeks to destroy the family because it is central to God’s plan. Marriage is a very strong weapon in the kingdom of God.

    • Establishing a family aligns with God’s will on Earth.

    • Genesis: God created man and woman and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply.

    • Raising a God-fearing generation is a divine responsibility, not an option.

  2. Preparation for Family

    • Society trains people extensively for jobs but not for family life.

    • Preparation for family is just as important as education and career training.

    • Build a family that honors God and withstands worldly corruption.

Challenges & Christian Approach to Relationships

1. Difficulties in Modern Dating

  • Society imposes restrictions that make traditional interactions difficult.

  • Christian relationships should focus on long-term commitment, not temporary companionship.

    2. Focus on the Future You

  • Don't seek a partner based only on your current needs; choose someone compatible with your future self.

  • If you lack clarity about your future, take time to grow before entering a relationship. IT ALL START ALONE. 

  • If you wanna get what you want, deal with what you need first. 

    3. Marriage Requires a Strong Foundation

  • A long-term commitment requires vision and purpose.

  • You must build your life first before finding a partner to complement it.

  • When you are single, be the man or woman you must be. 

  • Use this time to grow, serve God fully, and gain wisdom.

  • Avoid rushing into relationships without preparation. Singleness is a valuable season

  • Invest in yourself—spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally—before seeking a partner.

  • Your future spouse will be drawn to the person you become.

    4. What to Look for in a Partner

  • Inner character and spiritual compatibility are more important than external beauty.

  • Seek a partner who aligns with your God-given purpose and will stand with you in challenges.

    5. God Provides What You Need, Not Just What You Want

  • If you want to get what you want though, deal with what you need much quicker.

    6. Healthy Approach to Knowing Someone

  • Dating is learning about each other, not an automatic commitment.

  • Take time to understand values, temperament, and upbringing.

    7. Guarding Emotions & Boundaries

  • Romantic gestures should come at the right time in the relationship.

  • Feelings should be controlled and not drive premature actions.

  • Crossing boundaries before a commitment is considered “stealing.”

The Concept of Love & Willpower in Relationships

  1. God-Designed Love

    • God creates love and is a blessing.

    • It is not random—love follows the will and knowledge we allow into our hearts.

  2. The Role of Knowledge in Love

    • Love is influenced by what we choose to value.

    • Example: People who learn about football grow to love it; the same applies to relationships.

  3. Correcting False Expectations

    • Cultural and media influences shape expectations about love and relationships.

    • A wrong perspective may cause people to overlook the right partner.

  4. Choosing to Love Wisely

    • Love is not just about emotion—it must be guided by wisdom and knowledge.

    • A closed mind limits the ability to love the right person.

Key Takeaways

  • God wants families to be built for His Kingdom, not just for personal fulfillment.

  • Dating should be purposeful, intentional, and aligned with biblical values.

  • Love is driven by will and knowledge—correct your understanding to love rightly.

  • Take time, set boundaries, and allow God’s wisdom to guide relationships.
