Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass

Topic: Love is the fulfillment of the law

Text: Rom 13:10


"Love does no harm to a. neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law"


When love is the summary of the law, it's also the fulfillment of the law. Paul vehemently argued, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Christ is the limit at which the law ceases to be. Every law ends in love. Every commandment of God ends in "you must love God with all your heart, soul and might. You must love your neighbour as yourself". 


1. Love is to both horizontal and vertical. It's never a political word but spiritual. Those who claim to love God must also love their neighbours. "If anyone says, " I love God" yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother whom he sees, can not love God, whom he has not seen" 1John 4:20. Loving God is seen in the way we love man. Man is the true representative of God on earth.


2. Genuine love does no harm or wrong to a neighbour. Who is a neighbour? Your wife or husband, your child or parents, your pastor or members, your master or servant employer or employee. Your co-worker, co-student, your business partner, co-passenger in the car, train, cargo, plane etc. all are neighbors. Why do you plan to kill, poison, destroy, torture, implicate, imprison, or kidnap one who is your neighbour and still feel innocent? Why do you cheat or deceive with Bible, flattering, pretension, sweet words, gifts of trap or dainties? Chai! 


3. Let's stop quoting the Bible wrongly, let's go into the doing of the word. Love is the fulfillment of the law. Let's stop being legalistic or fatalistic or fetish. Let's stop playing on our relationship or using it to deceive or cheat. Love knows no sectionalism, no nepotism, no tribalism neither racism nor ethnicity. Al men were created equally and should be treated equally. Let's build our society, church and family like other nations and enjoy equal treatment for one another. Love truly is the fulfillment of the law


Prayer: Oh LORD my God, let the factors that kill genuine love in our families, church and society be killed, destroy every Spirit of pretext, hide and seek game in our lives and help us to be more practical in love for one another in Jesus name.

Author: Rt. Rev. Christian O. Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: The Shepherd's Hidden Words Topic:The Distinguishing Factors Text: John 6:63-65 "The Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe, and who would betray him"  Jesus mentions the distinguishing factors between those who believe and those who do not, those who u understand and those who do not; his true disciples and those who are fake. "For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him".  1. Walking in the Spirit. Jesus used two analogies- "Flesh and Blood" and "Bread and Wine". It takes only those who are walking in the Spirit to understand and accept the message they carry. Many of the disciples did not distinguish between spiritual and physical "spiritual an...

Author: Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: The Shepherd's Hidden Words Topic: The Fake Disciples Text: John 6:65 - 66 "He went on to say, " This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them. 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him" There are two kinds of disciples: The True Disciples who " are enabled", " granted" or "given" by God and The Fake Disciples" who are called, chosen or given by themselves, by their people or by Satan . From the above text, it is clear that fake disciples of Jesus were in majority. They came to overshadow the twelve who were truly called. "From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him" John 6:66. Are you among the True or Fake Disciples of Jesus? Are you a True or Fake member of the church?  1. The wo...

Start your day with God’s Word! Read today’s devotional for encouragement and wisdom. Author: By Rt Rev Christian Ajuonuma PhD JP.  Theme: The Shepherd's Hidden Words Topic: True Disciples Text: John 6:67-69 "So Jesus said to the twelve, " Do you want to go away as well? ". 68 Simon Peter answered him, " Lord, to whom shall we go? You have  the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God" The True Disciples are genuine in their belief, confession and action. They are bold and speak with unshakable confidence. Their knowledge of God is always on the perfect tense, " We have entered a state of belief and knowledge that has continued until the present time". Paul who suffered shame in the name of Christ never saw it as shame "because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day" 2Tim 1:12. Have you truly believed...
