By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass Topic: The betraying Love Text: Prov 27::6 "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses"  It's always been easy to capture and destroy someone through his trusted friend. Such a friend that can aid and abet the destruction of his own friend is never a good friend but an enemy who had since pretended to be a friend. Some friendships, however, may be real at the beginning but influence of bribery, promise or offer of promotion, honour, or any outstanding reward, may turn a once trusted friend into an enemy and a betrayer. May God deliver from such unfriendly friends. 1. The historic Julius Caesar the greatest army general of the West who emerged a winner in a horrific battle with Pumpey the greatest army general in the east of Roman empire in 49 BC, was tricked and killed by his own best ...

By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass.  Topic: The Jealousy of Love Text: Songs of Solomon 8:6 "Place me as a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, it's jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire., like a mighty flame".  Love perseveres and never gives up it's victim like grave perseveres and never gives up the dead. This is owing largely to the jealousy of love. Love is really jealous and does not easily release it's victim. Some men or women have committed suicide on this ground. This shall not be our portion.  1. Love is jealous. Jealousy is an act of possessing tenaciously what belongs to us. According to Dictionary jealous is "feeling angry or unhappy because somebody you like or love is showing interest in somebody else". "It's jealousy is unyielding as the...

  Start your day with God’s Word! Read today’s devotional for encouragement and wisdom.   By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass Topic: Polygamy, a product of search for True Love Text: Gen 29:30 "Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he worked for Lebanon for another seven years"  Polygamy was never part of God's agenda for marriage but originated from man's serve for True Love. Jacob had already loved Rachel seven years ago before making love with her now. The True Love which was established before declaring his intention to Laban had occupied every space in his heart and flowed throughout his bones and marrows. Giving him Leah instead of Rachel was like poisoning his heart. To remove the toxin, he desires to make love with Rachel, the True Love of his soul. This is the source of "Comparative Love" between Rachel and Leah. So what God "saw that Leah was ha...

By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass Topic: The Patience of Love that leads to service Text: Gen 29:18, 20 "Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel. So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her" Love is really patient. We labour for whatever we love without bothering over it's time duration. Jacob, like a student who gained admission into a course, not really his choice, patiently completed his course and graduated with Bachelor's Degree and enrolled back for the course of his choice. What a big lesson of focusing on our choice until we get there! Life is full of challenges but our love for a project and our determination to get it achieved helps to absorb every shock and endure every obsta...

  Start your day with God’s Word! Read today’s devotional for encouragement and wisdom. By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass Topic: The Economy of Love Text: Prov 15:17 "Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred" (NIV) Love is so accommodating, so enduring and so appreciating. "It is better to eat soup with someone you love than steak with someone you hate" (LBT). Homes that eat quality food but lack love, will continue to lose weight. When there is love, one room can accommodate four people but where there is no love a duplex may not accommodate two people. Love is economical. Why can't we worship God in one denomination or one local church? Why can't we share together the abundant resources given to us by God Almighty? Why do we want to inherit all, control all, manage all? Greed, selfishness, tribalism, nepotism, racism etc have squeezed love and made it a sectional, denominati...

By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass Topic: The True Nature of Love Part 4 Text: 1Cor 13:7 "It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Other Positive nature or character of Love are outlined here. The most outstanding relationships that suffer in the absence of these qualities of love include marriage and employment. It can also be so of business partnership and political groups. It's obvious that any relationship that does not protect, trust,  hope and endure all things will disintegrate. These love qualities act as adhesives which glue together members of fellowships, family, friendship, clubs, associations, organizations etc. "Charity" they say, "begins at home". Those who lack these qualities of love either in their personal lives or group, can not give it out to their neighbors.  1. Love always prot...
