  1. speaking from a perspective as one who has erred greatly. You come to realise God’s commandments are for our own good and not necessarily because it helps him be a better God or Father. His commandments are based on love for us. The baggage that comes with doing this dating thing wrongly is such a high price to pay. 🥲

  2. My aunt also went through the same process, and it still done in my church where a brother presents his case to the pastor and then the pastor sets dates pertaining where they will meet and whether or not they will be accompanied. What I love about it is that it is well defined from the beginning and the marriages last till death in most cases so there is more success compared to when we do it independently. Personally, I think that it is not everyone who will be received like that but I remember Pastor Mildred's sermon where she said we should not bypass the structures placed by our churches because there, there is counsel and safety.

  3. PATIENCE: • Patience equals to salvation, your spose will come and save you from loneliness, famililess, childlessness, companionlessness, partnerlessness, YHWH sets the lonely in families (Psalms 68:6), Behold, your king is coming to you; He is righteous and endowed with salvation, Humble, Zechariah 9:9. Marriage requires a lot of patience, it's a long journey. grace to you as you wait ❤❤

  4. God richly bless you Sir. Pastor K please your technicians would have to do away with dating in the title they add to your name during your livestream sessions..It is should be Pastor Kingsley Okwonko (Love, Cortship and marriage)

  5. I have learnt a lot in this, but what then do we call that period in which you get to know each other before agreeing to marry each other. Because it is not possible to know about who you want to marry in a day and before agreeing to marry each other then start courting.

  6. P.K, two out of three girls in church today will no longer take you seriously if after 3 months of friendship you have not banged them into screaming your name, this is especially prevalent amongst the GenZees. I hate to think of the fact that I was forced to stop befriending girls born after 1996 simply because of this reason. I tend to find more girls that can spend quality time with you without expecting sex born before that year. No sex, and they stop taking your calls serious. In fact if they visited you 5 times the same week, they want to have it the entire 5 times. Not one, not two, not three. I have become frustrated. What one told me was that she was not sure of my being a real man and so doesn't want to cheat in marriage. I mean a tongue speaking sister o! . . . Her argument was that she should be seeing me have erections when she was with me. I challenged her to taking me to any hospital for checkup and bills on me, but she refused. They don't seem to be interested in any futuristic discussions other than trending stories on social media (if they are not in action, sleeping with you). I mean prayer meeting brand sisters o! . . . don't be carried away by what you see in church, if they told you this is the same sister in bed, you will freeze. I am happy to hear this from you and think I should try your church (maybe your Wednesday programs I see at Elegushi after work) since you have sisters that must have sat under your teachings, they may be different.

  7. Are we defining these concepts in a Christian’s way or as the worldly people?
    People of the world don’t define dating as Christians do.

    This is just the pastor’s opinion regards to the concepts dating and courtship. The pastor said that we don’t see the “word courtship” in the Bible as the same we don’t see “the word dating”. Dating and courtship depend on the activities you engage in these relationships. This is my opinion as Christian and analyst: Dating is a period you’re trying to know someone spiritually, courtship you’re trying to know the person emotionally and marriage physically. Dating is a period we’re trying to know each other in a basics level as friends. From that knowledge if we agree we can start a courtship that is also another level of trying to know the person in a deeper level. After this then marriage and a life long relationship and engagement can start.

    All those words depend on how we define the activities we’re engaging in our relationship as Christians and men of values.

    Dating: knowing the person as a friend, courtship knowing the person emotionally and marriage physically.

    In every of these steps if someone wants to mess up he will do it and if the person wants to be serious he will be.

    🙌🏼

  8. Pastor you just helped somebody’s son. He didn’t give me a ring when he asked and months later I had to say it, oga we are planning marriage, ahn ahn no ring? 😂😂
    He said he’ll get one since I want one, and I was angry that I had to remind him engagements come with rings. Now you are saying rings and the likes are not as important. I know but give me my jewelry, i don’t want Ugu😅😅😅

  9. I see why my Fiancé hated “boyfriend”. He said to never call him that and he never called me his girlfriend. At one point we were friends, then siblings😂, then friends again, the fiancé.

  10. Thank you for this advice pastor. I also feel like some of this talks and topics should not be only given by people like you but especially from parients too. We leave at a time and age where parents fail to pass down wisdom they have gotten from their ancestors as part of their inheritance to their growing children and they shy away from their own responsibility to their children, leaving them to go to social media for advice that will destroy them before finding the one to save them. We should be very careful and learn to educate children at each stage they are growing up and stop being ashamed. Most of us have learnt something from here as Christians and is not for us to use it and die with the wisdom, rather is our duty to pass it down to the next generation at a stage in their life and not how we do this day of being ashamed to discuss with our own kids critical things when they have reached the teenage/puberty age for such. Am so sad that ave learnt some things which would have been given to me earlier. Lets try and make the next generation better as Christians and not worst.

  11. *Dating is causal while courtship is
    2 . Dating is undefined
    While courtship is clear
    3, dating don't usually hv time line why courtship has a time line
    4,they are little or no accountability, why courtship involved accountability
    5, ppl user dating to check ppl out, almost 4yr without having any intention of marrying sometimes involve in kissing and sex .
    Why in courtship u alone do check with intention of marrying her
    (Date and dating is not the same.)
    Friendship is the best step to move in area of relationship , start a relationship .

  12. Praise the Lord, Dr. Kingsley Okonkwo. I agree, the concept of dating is a route of temptation that gives way to the devil causing many to stumble. I myself have looked back over my life and wish I had been taught the consequences of not doing things Gods' way! Dating definitely does not honor a timeline. Thank you for this time of instruction. God you and the family!
