Singles Talk’:
Apostle Suleman Itemizes Three of Eight Kinds of Love

 

There are so many demands when the topic is love. Many often think of love just in terms of romance. But God’s servant, Apostle Johnson Suleman, says love between friends with no strings attached can be thought of as real love, and they can be just as powerful. Itemizing three of eight different concepts of love that exist, Apostle Suleman helps the singles understand what kind of love that should be made important.

 

 

 

Of the eight kinds of love, the famous preacher notes that people are familiar with only three. These eight are; Storage, Ludus, Pragma, Mania, Philautia, Eros, Philia, and Agape. But people only know Eros, which is ‘sexual attraction’, Philia, which is ‘friendship’, and Agape, which is ‘general love’.

 

 

Suleman explains one particular type of love believed to be dangerous among the eight because it makes people lose control. He warns that it is a very physical form of love, which lasts but briefly and dissolves quickly because it is emotionally involved.

 

“Let me explain the three that you’re familiar with. Eros is when you see someone, he or she looks very attractive to you and you want to be with the person. This is what a lot of people think is love. This is what happens when a young man sees a girl and he wants to sleep with her. It is not love. Real love is commitment. Eros love is what produces unwanted children. Eros love is what you feel and can’t sleep at night and say you can’t stop thinking of a girl. When you begin to say oh I will do anything for you, I will give you anything you want, it is Eros in action. What we have been watching in movies; the ideas that have been sold to us that love is, it is Eros.”

 

 

 

“Philia is friendship. Many want Philia but they are not ready to move to it. It is Philia love when you get to meet a lady and tell her that oh, I love you and she says ‘let’s get to know each other, let’s do friendship’. There are some young men, especially those that are not born-again; if you’re a young lady and a young man is reaching out to you and saying ‘ ah, look at you, see how beautiful you are, I couldn’t hold myself’; stop him right there. You’re human and if you allow that thing to get into your system, you will flow along. Tell him, ‘don’t compliment me again, let’s avoid that conversation’. It should be good morning, good night. Those kinds of talks are nothing; no content, no depth. You don’t marry like that. There should be conversation outside the complement. Stop liking flattery, don’t be a flat tyre. If you invite a man to tell you nice things, you will always be a victim of life.”

 

 

 

 

“The nice things a man should tell you are things that would build your life. This is where many people have been trapped. They cannot go into friendship. You need friendship. You should have the conversation; how was your night, how was your day. This is what some people call a bestie. Bestie is purely friendship, there’s nothing attached. It is not even right if you’re in a relationship to have another person as a bestie. But because the guy; all he sees is Eros. This is why some girls will be in a relationship and will still be talking to other guys. Eros is all they are.”

 

 

“Women are emotional-oriented. Men are logical. So, the best kind of love is Agape; God’s kind of love. Those who are not born again start from Eros, they can never get to Agape. But those who are born again start from Agape, then they get to Philia and finally they get to Eros. Agape is God’s kind of love. He’s my brother, she’s my sister kind of love. You’re giving a girl money for her school fees is not because there’s something you want in return; it is not conditional; you’re giving her because she’s your sister in Christ. You’re paying her rent because she’s your sister in Christ. It is not an investment. So, you start from God’s kind of love, and if you want to have a relationship with her, you move to Philia love. And when you get married, obviously it will get to Eros. But if you allow Eros to control your feelings, you can never get to Agape.”

 

In conclusion, Apostle Suleman admonishes singles to be wary of physical attraction because it is not a necessary part of love. He says both Philia and Agape love are powerful, they are a spiritual kind of love, involving enormous empathy, with the concepts of charity and sacrifice within Agape in particular, making it the highest form of love for people in Christ.

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

The Alaketu-designate of Ketu Land in Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Prince Adekoya Babajide Adefowora, on Wednesday, paid a historic visit to the Ooni of Ife, Arole Oduduwa Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, at his palace in Ile-Ife.

The visit, which is a significant step in his journey to the throne, was marked by the royal father’s blessings and prayers for a peaceful and prosperous reign.

This comes after the formal presentation of Prince Adefowora, who hails from the Ateshimara Ruling House, by the traditional authorities of Ketu Land on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

His visit underscores the deep-rooted ancestral ties between Ketu Land and Ile-Ife, reaffirming the sacred traditions that bind Yoruba monarchs to their spiritual and historical source.

Prince Adefowora was accompanied to the Ooni’s palace by prominent members of his family, high-ranking chiefs, and kingmakers from Ketu Land, all of whom played key roles in his selection and endorsement as the next Alaketu.

Speaking at the palace, Prince Adefowora described his visit as a homecoming and an essential part of his ascension process.
have come home to pay homage to my father, the Ooni of Ife. My deep love for my people motivated me to accept the call to the throne of Ketu. This journey is not just about me; it is about upholding our rich heritage and leading my people towards greater progress,” he said.

Addressing controversies surrounding his ascension, he condemned attempts by some individuals to manipulate the process with fraudulent documents.

I am aware of certain fraudulent documents being submitted by some individuals to the authorities. I use this opportunity to urge them to desist from such illegal activities. The Supreme Court has already affirmed my right to the throne, and I call on the government to thoroughly investigate this matter. It is crucial for everyone to respect the rule of law and uphold due process,” he stated.

On the delay in filling the Alaketu throne after the demise of the previous ruler, Prince Adefowora explained that Yoruba tradition necessitates a period of transition.

“In Yoruba tradition, when a king joins his ancestors, a period of interregnum is observed before selecting a successor. This allows the community time to reflect, ensure stability, and make the right choice for the future. My people made their choice long ago, and today, they have formally presented me to our ancestral father, the Ooni of Ife. I am honored to have received Kabiyesi’s blessings,” he added.

In his response, the Ooni of Ife congratulated Prince Adefowora on his journey to the throne and prayed for a successful reign filled with peace, wisdom, and development for Ketu Land.

You are about to embark on a sacred duty, one that requires wisdom, patience, and commitment to the welfare of your people. I pray that your reign brings prosperity, unity, and growth to Ketu Land. May the ancestors guide you, and may your leadership be marked by justice and progress,” the Ooni prayed.

Unity in Generosity : Prophet Genesis Unites Faiths at Ibafo Ramadan Lecture (See Video) – Alhaji Arems

 

On March 12, 2025, during a spirited Ramadan lecture in Ibafo, Prophet Genesis once again demonstrated that faith and generosity know no boundaries. In a moment captured on video that has since resonated with audiences far and wide, the Prophet called an elderly woman to the stage. With warmth and conviction, he declared, “Mama, I’m the one people have blessed with this cash – open up your bag, and you can as well get extra nylon bags – take it all.” He went on to reassure her that his personal driver and security team would ensure she got home safely, eliminating any worries about carrying the money.

The heartfelt gesture was part of a lecture themed “Truthfulness brings success,” a mantra that clearly underpins Prophet Genesis’ approach to ministry. Notably, he reiterated that his annual Ramadan gatherings are unique in that he never collects money. According to the Prophet, God has made it clear that accepting money on these occasions would sever his divine connection—a conviction that has guided his practice for years.

What makes this event particularly striking is its interfaith significance. Held during Ramadan—a time when millions of Muslims around the world are fasting—the lecture underscored Prophet Genesis’ commitment to inclusivity. His actions sent a powerful message that genuine compassion and kindness transcend religious labels, uniting communities in shared celebration and mutual respect.

In a world often divided by differences, Prophet Genesis’ demonstration of unconditional generosity and his call for truthfulness serve as a reminder of the unifying power of faith and goodwill.
