Someone I know well was busy dating a ready girl until a man that was serious went straight to the point asking for the girl’s hand in marriage; the girl immediately called the dater to apologize and break up then accepted the marriage proposal, few months later they were happily married and still happily married 15years later! So I totally agree 💯 % Focused men don’t waste time when they see their life partner, they haven’t proposed because they don’t think you are the one

Thanks, Pastor K. There is no provision for dating in scripture, it is of the world. I am all for friendship instead of dating coz dating means you are mine and I'm yours. If thinking sexually of a person you are not married to equals sexual immorality, how is a romantic relationship even possible for unmarried Christians? [Matthew 5:27-28]. Even a courtship is for people who are preparing for marriage at a given date and getting pre-marital counselling, not people who are figuring themselves out. To be a Christian is to be set apart. It means we are not going to indulge in many things that the world enjoy and advertise. The word is our standard, not culture, trends, tradition, public figures etc. Amen

I have been saying this for a long time. I am so glad this is being brought out into the open and being discussed. Young people are dying and ending up in the wrong side of eternity because of little lies and misconception they have been sold to by the world. Dating is a trap! You die in that state you will not make heaven. There is no boyfriend and girlfriend with God. Relationships with the opposite sex must be strictly defined. If there is no clear intention for marriage keep it purely platonic or wave each other goodbye.The standard of purity required to enter heaven is so exacting. People should beware.

Very wise and balanced teaching as always. I listened to the marriage testimonies of all the children of Mike Bamiloye of Mt Zion Ministries and they followed the pattern of Godly courtship in meeting and courting their spouses. And it was really beautiful and refreshing to see how their faith in God led them to their spouses. Where there is courtship, even where there are mistakes along the way, it is easier to heal and move forward. Indeed God’s pattern is Godly courtship.

In as much as there is nothing like “dating” biblically, the meaning of dating in itself is like a form of courtship. Society will always want to misconstrue terms and ideologies to suit themselves. i don’t think there’s anything wrong in dating if you see it as a form of courtship and friendship that it is. What should be discouraged is “dating” the worldly way which comprises of those negatives pastor K mentioned. Dating itself is more like courtship today for people who know what they are doing. You must not engage in sinful acts during dating.Its a choice. The goal of dating/courtship is romantic friendship and not a regular friendship you can have with just anyone. If you have to be casual friends with someone you have intention of courting to marry then he/she might never show you enough if you don’t define why you are getting close from day 1. dating and courtship both demand some level of commitment so if you are claiming to be just friends with someone you hope to marry if things work , then that person doesn’t owe only you time and attention. Again, i don’t think the term dating is the problem, what people make of it what matters !

The only man I want to date is my husband ❤😊

A few years ago, an acquaintance in our neighbourhood saw me one morn while I was doing my morning run. She told me how that Christmas which was less than a month's time, she was planning to travel to her state, she had ordered Indian hair from India, had bought a few clothes, she planned to not repeat dresses while there, and lodge in an expensive hotel. She said that she believed that many abroadians were coming for the holidays and that she could start running into them right from Abuja airport, and that she was going to lodge in an expensive hotel to run into a few. She said she was ready to do traditional marriage with anyone interested. When I asked what she was going to do when he returned back to the abroad. She said she will stay in their family home, no need to know each other before marriage, and that she was quite aware that he may have a wife in the abroad, but that "SHE" will be the "REAL WIFE" because that was the one with and closer to his family. I felt like I was watching a Nollywood movie. She told me over and over of her plans. It never worked out for her. She eventually got married about 3 years later to a Nigerian based man.

Thank you for this teaching, Sir. I discovered you and your wife’s teachings and messages earlier this year and I like that they are Biblical and dealing with real life issues!!! I also appreciate that you both share your story authentically to help others. As one who became a believer and follower of Jesus as an adult before I got married and who had dated in the world, it would have been great to have teachings like these from the outset. It is only as I matured in Christ that I concluded that dating was not God’s way, but courtship is. I am glad to see this confirmed through this teaching.

Pastor Kingsley you are right on point and thanks for taking the time to research information and make this video. These things were special to me: - outdated - university students don't say let's see how it goes😅 - checking people out (inspector) - youth are dating while somebody is still feeding them 😅 - spending on expensive dinners thinking she likes you - she likes joliff rice not you 😅 - don't downplay friendship - temptation, looking at a meal you like for 5 years before you eat it, too much pressure - relationship is not the destination. - do friendship instead of relationship. Friendship will be there long after the butterflies are gone - There are many options around you don't waste time - God didn't mean for it to be a time wasting thing He calls it the wife of your youth - Rings flowers and balloons are pushed by those who have a financial gain it's ok but it's not foundational don't kill yourself for a ring - we have a testimony to protect we are ambassadors for Christ don't move in together - statistics wisdom nor scripture favors living together - they got somebody servicing the engine 😅 - Mary was 13 or 14 and already espoused to be married - sexual purity in scripture didn't factor in old age singles 😅 - evil communication corrupt good manners be on the same page about premarital sex bad influence good easier than good influence bad it's the principle of life because we're in a negative world. You did a really great job pastor Kingsley.

Save yourself the headache and know he/she is the husband/wife before you go past the friendship stage… Forget all of this boyfriend/girlfriend nonsense.

The right use for the word dating is having male or female friends and going out on dates to get to know them better without any exclusivity. It's just a friendship, and when you know them sufficiently and choose them among the others, then you propose/or accept. The actual relationship begins at this point with a courtship and engagement. I think the problem is not with dating but a wrong definition of the term. In its right usage, dating is not wrong for Christians bc every courtship and engagement begins with a getting- to -know -you phase without any commitments, and that is what dating actually is

you are not right. The pastor did not mention it but dating always has a sexual expectation. That is where it is different from friendship. That is why people easily give in to sex while dating. So it is not an issue of definition but the nature of dating and friendship are fundamentally different.The pressure to have sex when dating is so intense because it is expected.

The problem I have with dating is that because it's one-on-one between a man and a woman, which means they look like and often feel like a couple. They even get tempted to act and feel even MORE like a couple. All of this is not really helpful for making a choice to marry because that should be done through prayer and Godly council, not based on how comfortable you are with each other. My advice, as a married woman, is to act the same with all the single brothers-in-Christ. If one expresses interest ask him to go and pray to God for confirmation and if he gets it to come back with s proposal. If he comes back sure that this is God's Will then you do the same thing and take as long as you need to know God's leading. My husband and I got betrothed without any dating or couple behavior beforehand and we have had 12 years of delight together, thanks to God choosing us for each other!

I totally agree with you and I thought that many people no longer hold this view. Honestly being in a relationship that doesn’t have head or tail doesn’t make sense to me. The lady will just be waiting and waiting for the man to become serious. Why should that happen? The relationship should have been defined from the start. In our time they come straight to the point and you will know his intentions rather than waiting for years to be proposed to. I don’t like this dating concept and I also speak against it

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.

Thank you Pastor K for the revelational knowledge. Most Christian Elders/ Pastors and organizations are becoming demigods in people's marital destinies by being stumbling blocks. They no longer pray with intending couples. It has virtually become a match- making exercise unlike what is obtainable in time past in the body of christ from my Personal experience. I believe that if someone is born again and have the spirit of God in him he will be led of God and have a good marriage after Courtship without falling into sin. The old method has been severely abused by the Church leadership. Shalom.

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!

In my church, Apostolic Faith Church, the practice is to talk to your pastor first or the marriage counselor before you are allowed to talk to the sister, some of still still bend the rules sha and the church used to look away as long as the both has not done the do before bringing themselves to the marriage counselor.

Thank you Pastor Kingsley for simplifying these truths for us. Many of us wish we had been taught this earlier in our lives. So thank you for being a vessel. I still do believe God’s Love and mercy for the chance to enjoy marriage His way. Surrendering All to Him. Lack of knowledge truly does destroy. But God… Thank you Sir 🙏🏾

*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 .

God bless PK for this timely teaching. It's important for ladies to know what they want and ask for it from men who approach them. This way, you can avoid time wasters and heart breaks. For men,pls until you are ready for life long commitment, don't enter relationship with a lady and lead her on. Again,ladies even if he says he wants to marry, but starts to drag his feet or show contrary signs,have a proper conversation that will help you decide what step to take next. Summarily, nobody's precious time should be wasted.

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.
