According to him, “human beings are not divine but, they can be born again. Divine Nature is the true essence of the nature of God apart from having ears, eyes, hands like other creatures.
” God is spirit but in the spirit realm , He is not made of any feature . The Divine nature of God is not emotional. The essence of God is different from physical features ”
Okoriko who took his text from the book of John 3: 16 said the first essence of God is love adding that, man’s nature is hatred and hatred by man is the reason many things are difficult to be achieved in the world.

He noted that, “Human nature is basically hate. Opposite of God is not Satan as widely believed in the world but opposite of God is man .
” Since God is spirit, opposite of spirit is flesh but Christians fold try to interpret Satan as a spirit being .
“Man is not at war with spirit. Man is hateful from the day he was born and complains on everything”.

He warned Christians to use love to answer all questions of hate and protect themselves against harm .
” If you use love to answer all the questions of hate, you will protect yourselves against harm . If we want to be in tune with God , we must practice love .
“Love is the strongest virtue in the world. It is the strongest force in the world . When you show love, don’t expect to be noted ”
