Thank you so much sir for this clarification, there are lots of confusing and misleading messages on Divorce which has led to people suffering / dieing in silence. So much shame is also associated with Divorce especially amongst Christians, nobody wants to be tagged as ungodly. I am glad you talked about this, God bless you sir.
I admire the wisdom you and your wife have. You don't just say things out of emotions. One can always sence the wisdom and discernment in your teachings. More grace sir🙏 🙌
Two things stand out for me in Malachi 2:16. God says "I hate divorce" and "Don't cheat". This means that God knows that cheating leads to divorce. This is corroborated by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. So, please people should stop quoting Almighty God out of context just to keep partners in unhappy marriages or justify themselves. Thank you.
Wow!!. So much wisdom. Thanks so much for breaking this subject down to my understanding. I have been struggling with this for the past 15yrs since I was separated from my husband. I was just stuck with the words "God hates divorce", so I felt guilty about getting a divorce. But now that's its broken down, I know what to do. God bless you richly sir.
You are correct in all the interpretations. These are my own take on the verses in the Bible on divorce. I studied divorce in the Bible thoroughly years back.
Thank you Pastor Kingsley for clarifying this topic. The people who are quoting God hates divorce are not also quoting God hates fornication, adultery and abortion. Let's emphasis everything God hates and not focus on one so that our eyes will open to how reconciliations of these acts after they happen. At least we can stop demonising divorced people instead of ourselves.
@@brianokorie6005 I did and I have known that a long time. Matter of fact, what caused the divorce was that and it involved rape. I wasn't raped. Someone very close to me.
@@rosalyn4646 infidelity is a good reason to divorce, but the best recourse after divorce is to remain as you are, apostle Paul’s teachings in 1cor 7 reinforce this… I would agree that it is not easy to do, so pray for the grace to do what is right ….
Pastor Kingsley thank God for you. You're just the best. And I'll always always not overlook Pastor Mildred when I thank God for you, cos if she was anyhow, your clarity in these teachings wouldn't be soooooo crystal, and your method of passing the knowledge to us would be so simplified. Pastor Mildred...you're a "good thing" indeed. God bless you both some more, keep you and keep replenishing you. Amen.
Hey Kingsley , God send you to me with this teaching ❗️I have been wrestling in prayer about what the Lord said about divorce but you really educated me sir. May the Lord increase you more and more ❗️ I was very torn about what Pastor Paul Enenche said about divorce and surprised that other general's are not bringing him to order .
Points to consider: 1. Marriage is untill death (Roman's 7:2-3). Therefore, remarriage while your "first" spouse is still alive, constitutes adultery. The "exception clause" in Matthew 19:9 seems to more support the Bridal View when a careful look at the original Greek words for "fornication" and "adultery" are taken into consideration. In a previous passage, Joseph was going to "divorce" Mary, even though they were not married - they were engaged and Joseph assumed she had been unfaithful (committed fornication NOT adultery - since they were at that stage not yet married). Thoughts to the contrary may (and perhaps more likely) constitute assumptions. I hope it is okay to share my understanding on this topic from what I think is a truer convergence to biblical guidance on this topic, especially in light of Jesus' statement in Luke 16:18. 2. On the grounds of Abuse based on Exodus 21:9-11... are we under the Mosaic Law? Galatians makes it clear that we are not. 3. On the grounds of Abandonment based on 1 Corinthians 7:15... the Greek word for "bound" or "enslaved" is not the same as the Greek word for the "marriage bond" (see Romans 7:2-3). It seems that only death dissolves the marriage bond.
Good day Pastor Kingsley. I enjoy your Teachings. they have blessed me. I also enjoy the fact that your research goes beyond the English Bible. I was listening and when you Quoted "thou shall not kill" and you explained the context for that command, In the NKJV it says "thou shall not Murder" - Murder is premeditated (out of cruelty or some mischievous reason) Killing can be an act of self-defense. My point, Does it say Murder or kill in the Greek? Thank you.
All I can say is... may God continue to bless you Sir. I've never heard it more detailed, elaborate and it's so clear. Thank you so much. Please Sir what are the useless reasons for divorce?
Pastor K thank you so much for adding more meaning to this very important institution in the body of Christ. May God truly bless you even more and give you even more Wisdom and insight to teach his children. I have this one question Is traditional marriage considered as a full marriage or the Bible is talking just only of the legal and church wedding ? In that note what about separation at the level of traditional marriage? Does that reflect all what the Lord mentioned in the Bible concerning separation and divorce or where Can this actually be placed I mean under the prospective of marriage?
Thank you so very much, God bless you God bless you, we have been separated for over 15years and he refused to give divorce I got stuck, and he is with another woman yet he refuses to sign my divorce paper. May God come Through for me oo. God bless you ooo
Thank you so much pastor K. I have been worried about this all these years but now I will change my prayer points. My marriage will be the best and it will last for a lifetime in Jesus name 🙏.

Sir please stay in your lane of building marriages, you a really good at that and you are saving many marriages. according to different translation putting away is translated as divorce but not separation as you put it. 1Cor 7 clarify this as well. From the beginning God created them as one, and what the Lord has joined together let no man put asunder, that is why 1 Cor 7 say if you divorce you are not allowed to to marry until you reconcile with your spouse only when your spouse dies you can marry. The only people who are not bound by this covenant are unbelievers.
Heyyy!!!!!! Hmmmm!!! Pastor! You just brought me clarity. But please There's this thing I don't understand about marriage, divorce and re-marrying. Especially going to the "altar of God" to remarry. Pls school me. Is it normal?
My understanding of the word Fornication in this text ,The Jews only used to marry virgins, so on the wedding day if the man finds out the woman has committed fornication he has the right to divorce. Because married people can't fall into fornication but they can fall into adultery. Please help Pastor ?
Good morning sir,thank you for this message sir, I have a question for you sir, What do you as a wife If your husband is not talking to you, No communication what so ever Never Admire you Never praise you ,, take use out ,,support you in every areas of your life Maltreated your child from another Man, your first love who is late now Never take you on holiday Makes you feel so lonely You supported him in the house financially But never say thank you nor any sign of appreciation, Never celebrate you, on Mother’s Day Birthday Christmas Valentine’s Day, no gift for me on all of this celebration period, I do got him an expensive gift but never say thank you or appreciate it Never spent time with me Even having sex, he doesn’t appreciate still etc
This is balanced view of the subject. When you talk of abuse it seems you assumed that only the woman is the victim. What happens when the man is the victim of the abuse? In Africa where spiritism is rampart, what happens when one of them is into witchcraft and there is evidence of use of witchcraft to manipulate the other. Witchcraft manipulation can be fatal. What do you advice where witchcraft is evidently involved?
Sir, the Greek word used for the “putting away” and “divorcement” are one and the same. Doesn’t that mean there’s no difference between putting away and divorce? Pls explain. Thank you Sir
Please note that in this verse, "put away" and "divorce" are the same Greek word, apoluo. It is wrong to translate apoluo as "put away" the first time that it appears in the verse and then as "divorce" the second time. That hides the true meaning of this verse.)
They actually mean the same thing… the first text he read (Matt 5:31-32)clearly said whoever marries a divorced woman, is committing adultery, I believe it’s an honest mistake… but following with his logic, if divorce is in two stages, the first being putting away, then divorce is only lawful if there is fornication involved… So logically you should not marry anyone who was divorced if not on the grounds of adultery, and why would you marry someone who was divorced on the grounds of adultery…..😂😂😂.. confusing yeah? The good thing is paul clearly restated what Jesus was saying in 1 Corinthians 7… my summary, Single people should avoid marrying divorced people, cause the matter is risky, Divorced people should stay single as stated by Jesus and the apostle Paul, but if they must, they may marry other divorced people as a matter of person judgement…
My Revised standard version uses the word divorce all through. So separation is in two ways, first staying aparting and if problems are irreconcilable like issues of adultery and domestic violence,then a certificate of divorce should be granted for freedom
See the Greek word for the four English words or phrases Put away - apotamiévo Putting away - vázontas makriá Divorce - diazýgio Divorcement - diázefxi So they are different

Good morning sir,thank you for this message sir, I have a question for you sir, What do you as a wife If your husband is not talking to you,
No communication what so ever
Never Admire you
Never praise you
,, take use out
,,support you in every areas of your life
Maltreated your child from another Man, your first love who is late now
Never take you on holiday
Makes you feel so lonely
You supported him in the house financially
But never say thank you nor any sign of appreciation,
Never celebrate you, on Mother’s Day
Birthday
Christmas
Valentine’s Day, no gift for me on all of this celebration period,
I do got him an expensive gift but never say thank you or appreciate it
Never spent time with me
Even having sex, he doesn’t appreciate still
etc
Am interested in this counsel. Please pastor can you answer this question.
this describes some of what I experienced. I left two months ago... I await his counsel too
My dear divorce?

Good afternoon pastor Kingsley. This your message is not audible. Thanks
I think my marriage God wasn’t involved
I think I was wrong thinking ts Gods will… we both r tired of each other

Ask his friends and ask her friends too.......find out her name and trace them all to avoid future problems for yourself
Please sir how can one contact you privately?
My cousin brother is always complaining that he married wrongly because he was scared of getting married late. He married at 39.
He says rushing into the marriage is his greatest mistake, on his grounds of wanting to get a divorce, he says the wife disrespect him, she doesn't help in some little finances in the house even when she's working. They both work actually.
He would term it as being selfish, she asks him money to buy the least thing as salt and maggi in the house. She starves him of sex, precisely it's been 7 months now, they last made out.
He says she's the complete opposite of who he married, maybe she was pretending he would say.
He has tried having a conversation with her, it's as if it fell on deaf ears.

In this case MOG, what would you advice him to do please?
Thank you
I dont it was right of him coming to you and your mother for his marital problems. He should have gone to the wive's family or see a professional...
The bible clearly stated that he that marries a divorced woman committed adultery. Can pastor K explain this bible verse
No divorce in Christ!
I can I schedule for counseling ?
