What is Love (Understanding True Love, Lust, Passion, and Infatuations) – 6
As we journey to the celestial city, we will pass through
different scenes in life. It is said that only the goat that knows how
hot it feels. The goat may be sweating profusely, and no one will see its
struggle because its skin will not allow you to see the sweat.
Like a crying man walking
in the rain, you will not see his cry because the rain will hide his tears. Such
is life. Some people put on smiling faces, but inwardly they suffer. It is time
you put off the mask and be real because you cannot pretend forever.
Like a pregnant woman,
she can wear the tightest cloth to hide her pregnancy; time will reveal her
pregnancy. Many people are dying in silence because of love. Some people have
passed through a bitter relationship, so they cannot trust anyone.
Their bitter experience
has created a philosophy in their life to the extent of passing those bitter
experiences to their family and friends. Child of God, one thing you must
realize in life is that life is a school.
Failure to learn from
your bad experience and the experience of others is to your detriment. Maybe,
you passed through several bitter experiences in life, so you cannot trust
anybody. However, do not allow your bitter experience in life to block the gate
of heaven (deliverance).
The fact that someone
mistreated you does not mean anyone you meet in life will abuse you. Understand
that others have abused anybody who abuses you. You have the right to reject
abuse because you have choices.
It is your prerogative to
desist abuse because God has built willpower in your soul. It is only robots
who cannot discern and reject abuse. Do you know that some people are in psychiatric
hospitals and mortuaries because of abuse?
Do not allow anyone to
use your leniency to abuse you because abuse can destroy your seed of love. Abuse
can destroy your lovely personality and make you self-destructive. Christ Jesus
has commanded us to show love, and it is our duty as Christian believers to
express love in the ways of God.
Until you learn to love
yourself, you cannot love others. You cannot give what you don’t have. Anyone
who cannot love others does not love himself. Anyone who cannot express love
has never experienced true love from others.
In my previous article, I wrote that words affect
the seed of love in our souls. You must know the thought pattern (psychology)
of men and women because it will help you understand love. In my previous
article, I wrote that most women are emotional beings and most men are logical
beings.
Since most women are
emotional beings, you must speak sweet and inspiring words to activate their
love. As I wrote, every normal person has a love language. Love language is the
ability to identify the triggers of a person’s love.
In other words, you know
what makes another person feel love. For example, domestic animals such as dogs
and cats can show you signs of hunger, tiredness, and anger. I can see from the
face and actions of several animals when they are hungry, happy, tired, or
angry because I love animals. If you can detect what makes an individual tick,
you have identified what makes that person act.
For example, some people
love food, so they feel loved the more you provide them with food. Some people
feel loved when you interact with them from your heart. Since most men are
logical beings, do something reasonable or something to make the man think you
love them.
Note the word “think” and “feel.” A man wants to understand love, whiles a woman wants to
feel love. A man first understands love before feeling it whiles a woman feels
love before understanding it.
Although some men are
emotional and some women are logical, a greater percentage of men are logical beings,
and a higher percentage of women are emotional beings. Whiles most men are
thinking about work, success, and provision for family and loved ones, most women
are thinking about the feelings and wellbeing of family and friends.
Child of God, understand
that words are powerful creative forces to activate the soul of humankind. Like
fire and gasoline, the gasoline (words) blazes the fire (soul of humankind). Like
a locked gate, you need the prescribed key to unlock it.
The same applies to words
and the human soul. The human responds to the words we speak. For example,
sometimes, when you hear a particular song, name, or event, it changes your
emotions. Those words in the song create an unseen atmosphere in your soul
because your soul has received an activation.
Develop a habit of
speaking words of encouragement to your loved ones because it is an act of
love. Do not kill the soul of others with destructive words. Don’t create a
hostile atmosphere with hurtful words because spiritual forces work with the
words we speak.
When you constantly speak evil words, it opens the portal for evil spirits and demons to dominate a jurisdiction. Moreover, since spiritual forces can sometimes detect or suspect your feelings, they will act randomly to confirm their perception of your soul. Know these truths.
- Your words can help people create a perception of your personality.
- Your words can create a lustful atmosphere in your jurisdiction for demons to operate.
- Your words can rekindle the love of Christ Jesus in your surroundings for the holy angels to operate.
- Your words can build the weak soul in your environment.
- Your words can rekindle the fire of love within your jurisdiction and increase productivity.
- Your words can make an emotionally weak person harm herself.
- Your words can build a strong relationship.
- Your words can strengthen the angels of love in your jurisdiction.
- Your words can create an ocean of love in the soul of the people within your jurisdiction.
- Your words can deliver a demon-possessed person from the enemy's prison.
- Your words can destroy and kill the destiny of others.
- Your words can make people abandon you.
- Your words can generate enemies.
- Your words can make people draw themselves to you.
- Your words can build the seed of love in the soul of humankind.
- Your words can touch the heart of others to help you from their heart.
- Your words can build or destroy your destiny.
- Your words are like seeds in the spiritual realm; grow them daily with your tongue.
- Women do not only hear your words; they feel and feed on your words, so speak with wisdom.
- Men do not only hear your words; they assess and judge you by your words, so speak with wisdom.
I hope these few
revelations of words will empower you to use words wisely. I don’t speak anyhow
because I know the power of words. You will hardly find me speaking in public.
However, you are likely to see and hear me speaking in public because of the
gospel, sharing relevant ideas, and counseling others.
When someone tries to
provoke me, I think about the consequences of my words and actions before
speaking. Child of God, you must know and understand the power of words. Read
my book, how to break the spirit of inferiority, for more profound revelations on words.
Understanding the love
language of your partner works in many ways. First, you must understand that
your upbringing, personality, life experiences, and family background (culture)
are different.
Precisely you are
different from your partner. Maybe you came from a family weak in finances,
communication, weak in brotherly love, rampant abuse, and conflict. Those
experiences will impact your love language and philosophy of life because your
partner did not suffer from what you suffered.
You need wisdom, knowledge,
and understanding when expressing love to people who have passed through bitter
life experiences and people whose life experience differs from yours. On the
other side, your partner may have come from a stable family where love and
money were not a problem.
The partner experienced
love from family members and had whatever she desired. In this case, the
partner's demand for love will be different from yours because you did not pass
through that experience.
In such cases, it will
take time for both of you to build true love and compatibility. In addition,
expressing true love requires wisdom and knowledge because your differences
(faith, family background, and life experience) will affect the relationship.
If you don’t apply wisdom
in your relationship, you may give up when the storms arise. I am writing this article by the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, with the knowledge the Holy Spirit has availed to me and by the principles
in the Holy Scriptures.
It takes a vessel filled
with the Holy Spirit or a vessel that fears God from the heart to express true
love. When I talk about true love, it is not the unbeliever’s type (give and
take). The love I am describing here is the one that has no hidden motive.
The love I am describing
here is the love that emanates from the throne room of God. Unfortunately, some
people only talk the love without expressing it. Such is not true love.
True love acts. True love
gives. The best way to discern true love is to check the pureness of the lover.
I mean reading the heart of the lover with the spectacles of the Holy Spirit. True
love expects nothing in return.
Some people keep
reminding their loved ones of the love they expressed; that is not true love.
If it is true love, the receiver will remember your love without you reminding
her.
True love gives without
reminding the beneficiary of the good deed. True love saves the vulnerable. The giver of
true love most often becomes vulnerable to the receiver if the receiver is
wicked.
I remember when I was at
University, a woman had an extremely friendly dog. This dog was so loving that
it followed anyone that pet its head. Unfortunately, as I passed by the woman's
house for lectures, I was not seeing this lovely dog.
A week passed, and the
dog was nowhere to be found. It was later I heard from the neighborhood that a
car had killed the dog. In this case, the dog died before its time because it
did not apply wisdom in love.
I know a loving dog that lives in our neighborhood. Although this dog is kind to strangers, it can detect an enemy. The dog barks at wicked people anytime they enter the house. Child of God, expressing love requires divine wisdom and knowledge. Know these truths.
- True love takes time to build because its foundation is indestructible.
- True love rest on the foundation of God’s Word. Someone may not deserve a favour, but we show love because the Word of God commands us to do it.
- True love overrules every evidence of the enemy. People may have tangible reasons to disqualify the vessel, but you choose to show mercy; that is true love.
- True love does not watch with the critical eye.
- True love sees with the heart and eye of mercy and compassion.
- True love says, if Christ Jesus will do it, I will do it.
Why do you think people
commit suicide? Well, you can read my article, how to dominate suicidal thoughts for more profound revelations.
But, the truth is true love is a powerful force that can compel an individual
to do the impossible.
If people can commit
suicide because of love, then we must understand the inner workings of love.
First of all, I explained that words have power over our souls. When people
fall in love for a long time, they create a soul tie.
A soul tie is when two
souls become one. For example, some people spend their time, money, energy, and
resources to grow love in a relationship. Now, what happens is that the more people
build a relationship with their time, resource, and energy, their soul bonds.
Another secret you must
know is that stronger soul ties build when sexual activity occurs in a
relationship. In the book of Judges, we see a profound revelation about sex and
soul ties.
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged
him so that his soul was vexed unto death;
That he told her all his heart and said unto her, There hath not come a
razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my
mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall
become weak, and be like any other man.
Judges 16:16 -71 KJV
Samson could not resist
the temptation of Delilah because of a sinful act. One important truth you must
know about sexual intercourse is that you create a strong invisible bond with
the one you have sex with.
I mean, sexual
intercourse creates a stronger love and soul tie. So when Samson had sexual
intercourse with Delilah, the soul of Samson and Delilah became one. If you
read from the holy scriptures, you will see that Delilah oppressed and
constrained Samson daily with her words to the extent Samson’s soul (power and
desires) became weak.
Samson felt like dying
because he could not resist the oppressive words of Delilah. Delilah knew
Samson could not resist her through intimate sexual intercourse, so she
enslaved Samson with sex.
Child of God, sex is not
a “pleasurable” activity for boys and girls. Sex is a spiritual bond.
Expressing love with sex is one of the invisible bonds in the race of
humankind, and I have learned from the advice of others that sexual activity
uses the five senses of humankind.
That is, anytime you have
sex with someone, your desires, emotions, willpower, intellect, sense of touch,
sight, hearing, and other faculties of your body, soul, and spirit become one. I
have not mentioned the spiritual effects of sex.
If you want more profound
revelations on soul ties, read my series
of articles on sexual purity and a
series of books.
1. The Mysteries of Sexual Purity
2. The Mysteries of Sex and Purity
3. How to Activate the Anointing of Gladness and other books.
Samson became a slave to
Delilah because of illicit sexual intercourse. Samson revealed the secret of
his strength to a disguised enemy (Delilah) because illicit sexual intercourse
imprisoned and conquered him.
Some people complain that
they cannot stop fornication, adultery, and other immoral acts. However, these
people do not know that they have become slaves through illicit sexual
intercourse.
God created sex for
married couples to rekindle their love. Acquire relevant wisdom because true
love acts with prudence. God showed us love by giving Christ Jesus, so we will
do something to prove our love (See John 3:16).
Expressing sympathy is
partial love. Instead, provide a practical solution to solve the problem. For
example, if someone is hungry and you have money or food, don’t only sympathize
with that person; give that person some money or food to quench his hunger.
Doing that is an act of true
love. Sympathizing with the hungry vessel may alert him that you care, but it
isn't true love. Your love becomes valid when you provide the solution.
Sympathy may play a role in the field of love.
After sympathizing with
the hungry person, do something (SHOW LOVE BY SOLVING THE ISSUE). God could
have sat in heaven and sympathized with humankind. Instead, He decided to
sacrifice Christ Jesus to save us because of love. This means love is an action. Love is a force.
We must feel and see your love.
Don’t preach love without expressing it because anyone can preach and teach love. Real lovers show it. Like Christ Jesus, he suffered and died at the hands of wicked men because of love. This does not mean killing yourself to show your love. Express your love by your deeds because true love is action-driven.
