ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF WORLDLY LOVE, SEX AND MONEY AS RELATES MAINLY WITH THE MALE MAN
The Concept of True Love.
From our previous article we dealt on how to address Love,Sex and money.folow us today as we will be dealing on what true Love is and what is takes to exhibit true love.
Firstly we must understand that there are four different types of love. Let us highlight the four types of love.
1.Philio(brotherly love)
2.Eros(erotic/sexual love/fleshly)
3.Friendship love
4.Agape (God kind of love)
From the above types of love, we will have the true knowledge and understanding of what true love is. Love is the response to understanding the value of a thing or we can say love is a force generated by a decision.
Agape love is the true love that Jesus described in Matthew 5:44 *But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you* .This is the type of love that is above the natural man, only a supernatural man can exhibit this kind of love, because it supercedes human understanding. It takes a truly spiritual man to exhibit this type of love, this is a man that stays in alignment with his creator. This is the love that covers all sins. This is the love that can keep a relationship.
Men of this generation have changed the concept and the definition of love that God stated for us. We define love as feelings, we define it as having fun with other partner which has devalued or limited humanity. What God stated as the foundation for a good and better society has been misinterpreted and the scripture says if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Humanity at the moment is suffering from this broken foundation. One of the reason God came in the form of man as Jesus, is to make us understand that as men, we can express this God kind of love but only if we are in the presence of the creator.
Furthermore, the only way man can relate this God kind of love to humanity is to be in God’s will and in alignment with the creator. The male-man especially the youth should understand that love is not feelings, it is a choice. Feelings are just like chemical substances and these substances do undergo change as a reaction. Thus, for the male-man to demonstrate a genuine love to his fiancée or wife, he must be in alignment with the Creator. To the women reading this, for you to know a man that truly loves you, check his relationship with the Creator, if he has no relationship with the Creator, just know that he doesn't know what true love is.God is love and only in him we can find and replicate true love *1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.*
