Lolz. U don't know how to explain Scripture. U never support ur explanation with scriptures. That is not how to preach if at all you are trying to preach to someone like me. You need help in understanding the truth. All what you had said are false and contradictory. There are over 80 Bible translations worldwide. I have 5 out of them. You have not really study and research the Bible and u still have a long way to go.
You are looking for scriptures. I don't have issues with that. I have a whole book with hundreds of Scripture on the subject of hell. It's on Amazon. Just go through the few quotes below;

Passages Showing Strong Phrases Used To Describe Hell and The Nature of The Punishment.

1. The Fire is Eternal.

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of ETERNAL FIRE.

2. The Fire is Everlasting.

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into EVERLASTING FIRE.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels:

3. There Shall Be Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth.

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

4. It is a Fire That Shall Never Be Quenched.

Mark 9:43-44
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED.
44 Where their worm dieth not, and THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

Mark 9:45-46
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into THE FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED.
46 Where their worm dieth not, and THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

Mark 9:47-48
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be CAST INTO HELL FIRE.

48 Where their worm dieth not, and THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into OUTER DARKNESS: there shall be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

5. There Shall Be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth.

Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into OUTER DARKNESS; there shall be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH .

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into OUTER DARKNESS: there shall be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

Luke 13:28 There shall be WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

6. The Lake of Fire Which is the Final Destination of Lost Souls Burns with Brimstone.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.

7. The Devil Himself Shall Be Thrown into The Lake of Fire and Shall Be Tormented Day and Night.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE and BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, and shall be TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER.

Not really my brother, it was never a must for the rich man to help Lazarus, it was a 'should' like the rich man should have helped him. Nobody owes you anything, so we should forget this entitlement mentality. Secondly the parable is between Lazarus and the rich man, by extrapolation it means the rich man is not the only rich man in that story as there were several of them (I drew my conclusion from the heading of the story, Lazarus and the rich and not the richest man). Thirdly I see Lazarus as a very lazy man, no matter the outcome, u sat at the rich man's gate, his dogs were licking your wounds and he didn't make any efforts. Same as what we have in this modern parlance, person wey go help u no go stress you, if the rich man no help Lazarus, he should have looked elsewhere. Back to the reason he went to hell, read verse 27-30 it was clearly stated that he requested Lazarus to go back and preach to his brothers and you saw Abraham's response, meaning they preached the word of salvation to him but he failed to harken unto it. What led him to hell was he rejected the gospel of salvation. You may be rich, you may be a generous giver, you may have compassion on the poor but if you fail to receive and accept the gospel of salvation then you are hell bound. That was why it was a parable and the hidden truth has been misunderstood by people who only preach on giving but fail to consolidate the salvation part of the story.
Nobody owes you anything is a worldly jargon used to evade your responsibility to others in need. It's not so on the kingdom of God.

The parable of the sheep and goat made it clear.

So many will go to hell for neglecting to help those in need within their power.

You certainly can't help everyone but you should be able to do so to people who are close to you and even come for help.

Enjoy your wealth alone. Don't help anyone. You will be in the line of goats on that day.

The word of God is very clear on it. Despise it at your own peril.

Even if he chained his dogs, there still wouldn't have been anything dignifying in a man eating from the scraps when he could have been invited to eat from the table. The rich man main sin is sin of indifference, one of not feeling the plight of another and do something to offer solace.
Of course I said that. I don't dispute it. I only added that point to his sin. If the role the dog played wasn't important, it wouldn't have been recorded. It was added to show us how wicked the man was.

Besides, the beggar only sought to eat the crumbs. The rich man did not even give him the crumbs to eat. Read the it below;

Luke 16:21 And DESIRING TO BE FED with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

He desired it. The rich man did not give him the crumbs.

If the narration had read, 'and he ate of the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, it would have meant that the rich man willingly allowed him to do it.

To desire a thing is not the same as having that same thing. If you have it, you won't have to desire it.

Another record he broke is goal per match record in the top five leagues. No other players have his goal per match record.

He scores an average of about 7 to 8 goals in 10 matches.

Our most celebrated Kanu Nwankwo did not come close to that. Not even J J Okocha.

Our captain, Ahmed Musa scores an average of 1 goal in about 7 matches. Yet, Nigeria still can't do without him.

It was not stated that he humiliated him, infact he never stopped him from eating from the scraps from his table. His sin was that he could help but didn't. He was indifferent to the plight of Lazarus. Read Mat. 25

Then they will also answer him, saying: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he shall respond to them by saying: 'Amen I say to you, whenever you did not do it to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.' And these shall go into eternal punishment, but the just shall go into eternal life."
Matthew 25:44‭-‬46
The humiliation was permitting his dog to lick Lazarus sores. He could have chained his dogs.

Barristter07:

So why are people buried in the ground when they die? According to the parable, your fleshly tongue, fingers and entire human body should be in Hell
Our body looks like your spirit. A few people who narrated their near death experiences always say that they saw themselves come out of the their body and yet they still looked complete. It's like having a double. Some of them even said they saw people around their dead bodies but the people couldn't see them.

They came back to life when their spirit entered back into their bodies.

So, man in his spirit form as as complete as his physical form. The only difference is that he cannot make contact with the physical world unless he enters back into his body.

A spirit does not have flesh and bones.

You hardly think when typing this, what's a soul doing with a teeth? Isn't teeth a bone ?
There is a difference between a spirit and a spirit being. Man is a spirit being. He is not a spirit.

Angels too are spirit beings. Don't angels eat?

Every part of man after death is complete. The only difference is that he is not in his physical body.

He still looks complete in the realm of the spirit like he is in the physical. But he can't make contact with the physical world because he does not have a physical body.

So, he still has hands, legs, mouth, eyes and teeth. Every part is complete. But he is in a spiritual form.

So, why they give them admission, they keep sitting for WAEC to make up for the papers they didn't have before graduation.

This is what is happening in the north. At the end of the day, they become the general managers in both state and government owned institutions. And we are wondering why these institutions are not properly managed.

The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohlʹ and its Greek equivalent haiʹdes, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek geʹen·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).
Our Lord Jesus did not leave us in the dark as to what he really meant by hell. This is why he used different parables and many phrases to describe it and what happens there. That someone or group of persons translate hell as grave does not stop it from what it is.

The good you will do yourself is to go through passages Jesus made references to hell and determine within the context he is speaking whether he is referring to a grave or something more than a grave. And don't limit yourself to one translation.

You can never be honest to yourself about a controversial subject until you have examined every single scripture where the subject is discussed.

But you only use scripture that appears to support your opinions and ignore others that clearly contradicts them, it points to gross dishonesty. And it could cost you your salvation.

For instance, when Jesus talked about hell, he often used the phrase, 'cast into hell'. The word cast means throw. Do you throw people into graves?

In some places, he said into the fire that shall never be quenched. Is there fire burning in the grave.

Those who argue that he was referring to a valley in Jerusalem known as Gehenna are making great mistakes. This is because, the fire in Gehenna is no longer burning. And Jesus said that the fire in hell is never quenched.

Again, he said that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there. Do lifeless bodies weep and gnash their teeth? Certainly not.

He also used other term to describe the final place of punishment. Hell is not the final destination for lost souls. Those in hell will be released for final judgment on judgment day.

The final destination is the Lake of Fire.

This is what our Lord Jesus referred to as furnace of fire. He also called it everlasting fire. The torment in the Lake of Fire is far worse than that in hell.

In hell, he said that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But in the Lake of Fire, he said that there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The pains or torment will be so much that you can't weep anyone. Rather, you will wail.

Please, repent before it is too late.

What does the Bible say that helps us to understand what the soul is?Gen. 2:7: “God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered “soul” is neʹphesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering. RS, JB, NAB read “being.” NE says “creature.” Kx reads “person.”)1 Cor. 15:45: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” (So the Christian Greek Scriptures agree with the Hebrew Scriptures as to what the soul is.) (The Greek word here translated “soul” is the accusative case of psy·kheʹ. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read “soul.” RS, NE, and TEV say “being.”)1 Pet. 3:20: “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (The Greek word here translated “souls” is psy·khaiʹ, the plural form of psy·kheʹ. KJ, AS, Dy, and Kx also read “souls.” JB and TEV say “people”; RS, NE, and NAB use “persons.”)Gen. 9:5: “Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, “lives”; Hebrew, from neʹphesh] shall I ask back.” (Here the soul is said to have blood.)Josh. 11:11: “They went striking every soul [Hebrew, neʹphesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword.” (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.)
Can the human soul die?Ezek. 18:4: “Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul* that is sinning—it itself will die.” (*Hebrew reads “the neʹphesh.” KJ, AS, RS, NE, and Dy render it “the soul.” Some translations say “the man” or “the person.”)Matt. 10:28: “Do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul [or, “life”]; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul* and body in Gehenna.” (*Greek has the accusative case of psy·kheʹ. KJ, AS, RS, NE, TEV, Dy, JB, and NAB all render it “soul.”)Acts 3:23: “Indeed, any soul [Greek, psy·kheʹ] that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.”
If you are a student of English language, you will know that so many words have multiple meaning. So, the usage of the word within the context determines the meaning.

The word soul is used in two ways in the Bible

First, it refers to the total man. For instance, if 5 persons died in an accident, we can say that five souls died.

Second, it is also used to describe that part of man that cannot be seen. It is the intellectual centre of man. It consists of the mind, will and emotion.

This is why a verse describes man as, spirit, soul and body.

And if you do your research, the original Hebrew or Greek word for the two different usage of soul are not the same.

Check my thread where I posted my book on the Total Man, you will get a very clear explanation on this.

It is this second description of soul that does not die. It is eternal just like the spirit of man.

Good you know that

Let me provide the perfect complement to this comment. Which is:
One doesnt accuse an incorruptible and principle Judge who passes correct and fair judgement according to the law which the course of justice demands, of being a sadist.

1. What are the various sentences for committing the crime of kidnapping in Naiyja?
2. Would you accuse a judge of being a sadist for giving right judgement, that is proportional to the kidnapping crime committed?
3. What would you call a judge that gives a sentence that is disproportionate to the crime committed?

Now, please, indulge us here, do you really think that tormenting souls of human beings, in a way that permanently continues and lasts forever, is something that God is looking forward to get pleasure from. Hmm?

I am perceiving that you, just as Ken4Christ does, really believe that, ABBA, a good and loving Influencer, will non stop barbecue burn human beings and souls in the lake of fire FOREVER

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
God never planned on tormenting humans in hell. Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels.

But because man or the first Adam sinned, the entire human race became subject to Satan. And if Satan is destined for hell, where will his subject be? The same place of course.

So, what God did is a rescue mission. We were all headed for hell already. So, he sent Jesus to redeem us from that horrible place.

Those who believe will be delivered from it. Those who do not will continue on that road to hell.

God cannot infringe on the right of Satan to claim the souls to hell because the souls willingly submitted themselves to Satan by rejecting Christ.

You've always said those telling you this truth will burn in your imaginary hell for not agreeing with you that Lazarus and the rich man authenticate the existence of a place of torment after death.

Where in History is it stated that the guy "Jesus" lived, except in your religious books?

I have rebuted it already. Jesus never lived, he never died and he is not alive. Show me otherwise.

Millions of people can be mad at the same time, which has nothing to do with me at least, there was a time millions of people believed the earth is flat, thunder is a sign that the gods are angry, sickle cells are ogbanje and that the sun revolves 'round the earth, but what happened?
People outgrew those stupid believes though, there are still some deluded beings who hold unto it which doesn't change anything.

The same way people are beginning to outgrow this faith bullshit.
Ask Jesus to come into your heart. You will testify that he is real and alive indeed.

He is not real to you but he has changed millions of lives.

He is not real but he is healing countless millions of people.

He is not real, but books written about him alone is more than the total number of books in the world.

He is not real, music or songs sang about him is more than the total number of songs in the world.

Please, use your brain or go and examine it. I think it is badly damaged.

The Importance of Walking in Divine Love - 8.
(It Preserves Your Health and Also Brings Healing - 1).

"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."(John 14:23).

The opening text unveils the power of love. Our Lord Jesus said that those who keep his words will attract a special love from the Father. If there is any word Jesus said that he wants us to keep, it is his commandment to love the brethren. In other words, walking in love towards the brethren attract God's divine presence.

In fact, our Lord Jesus said that your home will become God's home. And when God comes to dwell in your home, he will fill it with his presence. There is no way sickness can dwell in God's presence. Families that walk in love hardly fall sick. If there is frequent illness in your family, check your love walk. This is why children from homes where couples always fight each other and quarrel always fall sick.

Members of a congregation that do not walk in love often fall sick also. Some even experience untimely death. This is why Apostle warn the Corinthian church to be careful the manner and ways they partake of the communion. They did it in such a way that it brought division in the church. And he said that some brethren even got drunk in the process. Thus, Paul said that taking the communion in an unworthy manner could open the door to sickness and even untimely death - 1st Corinthians 11:30.

James also wrote; "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16). What James is saying here is that learn to apologize when you hurt your fellow brethren. You are not walking in love when you hurt someone and you did not make effort to admit what you did and apologize. It could expose you to sickness.

So, ensure that your family members are taught to walk in love towards one another. Otherwise, Satan will take advantage of any act that is contrary to love walk to afflict the family
with sickness. The church should also constantly remind the members on the need to walk in love. If this is done, we will have less cases of brethren falling sick. And it is even possible that an entire congregation can enjoy divine health if everyone consciously walk in love towards one another. Remember, the children of Israel all enjoyed divine health before the law of Moses was given - Psalms 105:37. Tomorrow, we will look at a few more examples from the scripture on how our health can be affected by the way we walk in love.

Prayer: Merciful Father, I give you glory and honour due to your name. I thank you for keeping me as the apple of your eyes. Guide my thoughts, words and actions in such a way that it will not device evil against my brethren nor not hurt them. I pray that your love nature will be seen in our homes and in our places of worship so we can enjoy your manifest presence which preserves our health in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

I often tell jokes with actual names of real people, like my missus, friends et cetera for example, used in them. Watch this, when I am telling those jokes, it doesnt necessarily mean, the jokes are entirely lack of elements of truth and realities in the jokes.

Now, so is the case with the parable of the rich man and poor man. Just as truths and realities, exist in my jokes, so truth and reality exist in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

Your level of conscious competence, biblical literacy and spiritual maturity, determines how you correctly and fully understand, interpret and identify the truth and realities in the parable

Matthew 10:28
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna


Ken4Christ, please share what your answers are, to the three questions below:
1. Please do combusted things, feel anything like pain, et cetera, after they have been destroyed?
2. Does a decomposing decayed body feel anything like pain?
3. Would a combusted soul, feel anything like pain?

Do you, peradventure, harbour anywhere in your mind that God is a sadist or God, might be a sadist?

Burning an object that is physical is not the same thing as burning an object that is spiritual or none tangible as far as this physical world is concerned.

So, the physical body can be burnt up but not the soul of a man.

The soul is simply tormented in the flame but it is not burnt up.

The Importance of Walking in Divine Love - 7.
(It Is the Secret of Happiness, Peace of Mind and The Root Virtue from Which Other Virtues Ensues)

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23).

The opening text contains the list of the fruit of the new spirit we received at new birth. The first on the list is love. It's not a coincidence that love is mentioned first. Love for the brethren is the first evidence that should be seen in the life of anyone who is born again. Thus, our Lord Jesus said; " A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:34-35).

When you walk in love especially towards the brethren, the result is joy or happiness. Joy however is deeper than happiness. Happiness is an emotional feeling of excitement when something good happens. But you can be joyful even in adverse circumstances. In any case, walking in love releases joy and makes you happier.

When you see a professing believer who is always not happy or moody, it's most likely he is not walking in love. You can't walk in love and be sad at the same time. For instance, each time you reach out to help someone in need, it makes you feel glad especially if the help you rendered came from your heart.

If you also forgive someone who hurt you, it takes away the ill feeling you had when you held on to that grudge. Those who keep grudge against those who hurt them are hardly happy. It's even worse if the people they are holding the offense against are always around them.

The by product of joy or happiness is peace of mind. You can't be happy and troubled in your mind at the same time. Hence, our Lord Jesus said; "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33).

The other virtues mentioned in the opening text are also part of the attributes of love listed in the thirteenth chapter of the book of First Corinthians. Notice also that the opening text says, 'the fruit of the spirit is...'. The word fruit is in singular which is actually not correct grammatically speaking. It didn't say, the fruits of the spirit is...' as in plural.

All the virtue are all packaged together. So, they are all supposed to be seen in the life of a child of God. But the root virtue that unlocks the other virtue is love. This is why you ought to make walking in love your greatest aim. Don't let your flesh dominate you. God has called you to live a fulfilled and a happy life. And one of the secret of a happy life is walking in love.

Prayer: Dear Father, I give you thanks for your faithfullness and love towards me. I thank you also for depositing your love nature in my spirit. As I walk in love towards all especially the brethren, may the joy of the spirit and peace of mind be evidently seen in my life in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

What do you mean by disadvantaged? shocked angry
Please my friend use the appropriate adjective.

These guys just don't want to embrace western education. Next thing they will tell you is dogon turanci.
We are saying the same thing. The fact that their religion discourages them from taking western education makes them educationally disadvantage. And for the next 50 years, they can never bridge the gap between the north and south in education.

A few of them just go to school for political reasons.

No matter the submission of Reno, the north is still educational disadvantaged. The majority of them score less than 100 in jamb and still get admission.

They even admit them without meeting up with basic requirements in some subject like English.

They let them in while still trying to sit for WAEC to make up for the papers they didn't have.

I did my tertiary education in the North. I know what I am saying.

A guilty conscience is always afraid. They know how they won the election. And that is why they are jiltering.

Now did you know that Obi didn't have representative nor known in more than 7states? He didn't have any representative whatsoever. Did you know that?
Please say something else. We all saw the results online from polling units. Or is it only Labour party that is proud of posting polling unit results. If APC won, why didn't they post the polling unit results for us to see. Rather, they went behind the scene and started manipulating the results. Even INEC server confirmed that most of the results were tampered with. May the anger of God be against those destroying this country. May God put you all to shame in the mighty name of Jesus. You will see what will happen.

You are very funny grin
What is funny. Maybe you are not the type of person given to details. You just saw the final results posted and concluded that APC won.

A win that saw two states result exactly the same for all the parties. This is not possible even in the dream world.

Let me inform you of another broad light manipulation. Labour party won a unit in Bauchi local government by about 300 votes. A word were APC got much less than a hundred.
But the final results showed that Labour party got 84 votes in the entire local government.

Such manipulations were repeated across the nation in virtually all states.

What about Ekiti results that was seen in another server four days before the election. The final results were not different.

The original polling unit results in all the states are online for the world to see. At least we should have seen APC winning units before winning states. But over 70% of the results showed Labour party won in the units posted.

Or do you want me to start posting them here?

APC has been rejected by the majority of Nigerians and they are forcing themselves on us.

No judge can defend this fraud. It was too glaring.

Even the required 25% for FCT was not met. The constitution is clear on it. There is no ambiguity in the interpretation. Besides, a case has been judged in the past concerning it which sets a precedent for similar judgment.

The Importance of Walking in Divine Love - 6.
(It Builds Strong and Lasting Relationships - 3).

"Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, THINKETH NO EVIL."(1st Corinthians 13:5).

Today, we will look at two more attributes of love that helps to strengthen relationships and make them last. The first is contained in the later part of the opening text and it reads; "love thinketh no evil". This phrase can be interpreted two ways. First, it means that your mind is not negatively programmed if you are walking in divine love.

For instance, just because you see two people together of opposite sex quite a few times does not mean that they are having an affair. This is how the carnal mind is programmed to think. You shouldn't think that way. It's even worse when you start spreading rumours about them that are not true just because of your wrong perception of their relationship.

Another example is a scenerio where your spouse does not return back home from work at the usual time. The tendency for a negative mindset is to begin to think that he or she is with another lover. Such negative mindset can lead to breakage of relationships. Do not have a negatively programmed mind.

The second interpretation the phrase, 'love thinketh no evil' means is that love does not keep record of wrongs done to her. When you keep reminding someone of his or her past offense, you are not walking in love. Quite a few people even keep a diary of wrongs done to them. And at the slightest provocation, they recall them all. This attitude often breaks relationships if it becomes too frequent.

This brings us to the last attribute I love to discuss; divine love forgives and forgets. To forget doesn't mean that you will not remember what someone did to you. But it does mean that even if you remember, it will not result in any form of resentment within you. True forgiveness should come from your heart.

Make effort to walk in divine love if you want to have a strong and lasting relationship. Recall all you have learnt in the course of this series and be determined to put them to work. Instead of having breakage in relationships every now and then, most people won't want to lose you. Remember, you are the light of the world. Let your light so shine by consciously walking in love that the name of our God might be glorified.

Prayer: Loving Father, I thank you for your gracious love that is better than life itself. Life is meaningless without your love. Help me love my brethren just the way you love me. Teach me to be patient with people and treat them kindly. I also ask for your grace never to remember wrongs done to me in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
