On Question 1: “If fornication is sin, why didn’t God wait and give us strong sexual desires when we get married 💍?”

Lord Kyei shares:

“I’ve been thinking about the first question too for sometime but I believe the only reason is for us to develop one fruit of the Spirit which is SELF-CONTROL.”

On Questions 2&3: And what is love anyway? Does physical attraction and desire not count with the Godly kind of love ❤?

To answer this, I’ll use a story:

“One day, there was a prayer meeting at which prayers were offered up for a brother who needed a kidney donation. Those present at the meeting declared their love for the sick brother and their desire for him to continue to live through a kidney donation.

However, as the prayer meeting went on, it was realised that no one was prepared to donate their kidney even though that was what they were praying about.

Finally, the leader of the prayer meeting decided to allow God to choose whose kidney should be donated. So he took a feather and told the gathering that he was going to throw the feather in the air and whomever it landed on would have to donate his kidney.

Everyone agreed to this process of divine selection. He threw the feather in the air. Up it went and came sailing down, amazingly in the direction of the leader himself.

Suddenly, the leader began to shout and blow at the feather to re-direct it, so that it would not come to him. It was evident that no one was prepared to donate his kidney; not even the leader.

It is one thing to say you love someone but it is another thing to have that love which makes you sacrifice yourself for them.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends ~ John 15:13

The perfect description of love is sacrifice and the greatest sacrifice is to lay down your life for another. That to me is true love.

But there are different kinds of love and the only relationship that affords you the opportunity to express all those kinds is a marriage relationship.

There is romantic love which has to do with physical attraction which is very important in every love relationship. There is brotherly love or sisterly love 😊, which has to do with showing kindness and caring for one another. But the core of them, which is needed, is the sacrificial love.” ~ Lord Kyei (Facebook: @lordkyei)
