LOVE DETERMINANTS

…..thinks no evil…..
-1 Corinthians 13:5 | NKJV
If God descends right now and permits that, every married person can divorce, you will see many Pastors leading the race with their divorce certificates in their hands ready to be given to their wives or husbands to sign with immediate effect. The way some Pastors are suffering in their marriages, only God knows. Nevertheless, many Pastors who are suffering in their marriages use those experiences to advise the singles and the married. God bless the Shepherds who are doing the work of God in truth. But those Pastors, who live in pretence as if their marriages are working well too, stop the deceit. If you have any marital counsel to give to others, advise yourself first.
The way certain Pastors can lambast you for beating your wife up while they do worse than that in secrecy, is an evidence of the Pharisee’s hypocrisy. If you have issues with your love, settle it amicably. If you can’t consult other Pastors who have made it through seemingly difficult situations of marriage and are still holding on to their faith for help, you will die and go to hell just because, you are proud. You can be anointed but you are not above advice. You can be anointed but you are not above help. The stronger ones are supposed to lift the weaker ones, and in faith, there are Ministers who are more experienced than you. Tapping from them is very important in your love life.
Love has no evil intention. God wants us to be complete in love. He doesn’t want us to be sepulchres that have beautiful appearances, but the inside of us are men’s bones of evil thinking (Matthew 23:27). One day, a friend queried me, ‘David, you know what? There is something I have realised about humans. Humans have nice appearances, but the inside of men is detestable. He went on to tell me that, there is nothing in this world that stinks more than the inside of men.’ Even in physical terms, if you defecate, see what comes out of you. The beautiful lady whom you you think she loves you, can have in her an evil intention for a mission of your destruction.
If you get closer to some of the lavatories of these women who are too proud as if they are uncreated, the kind of bass sounds that come out of their rectums are unheard of. I want you to know that the inside of men stinks. So, let us do well to clean our inner men through by flashing off every evil thought we have concerning those we claim we love. Let us do away with bitterness, envy, jealousy, I-was-here-before-him-attitude, you-can’t-succeed-more-than-me-mindset, when-I-help-you-you-will-forget-me-when-you-are-blessed motive and let us allow love to lead us. What a man thinks in his heart, so is he. When you have love in you, you will never think evil about people.
