Theme: Dealing with the Sounding Brass

Topic: Love is an endless Debt

Text: Rom 13:8


"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law" 


Love is a compulsory responsibility every individual owes to his fellow human being irrespective of religion, tribe, tongue, race, nation, class or position. It does not matter whether we agree at a point, an idea, a purpose or not. This is a message given by the Spirit of God which can only be received and accepted by those who are not led by the detects of the law but by the power of the Holy Spirit. " Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others - never finish paying that! For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws, fulfilling all of his requirements" (LBT). 


1. Paul was led to discuss the importance and superiority of LOVE over LAW as he discussed obedience to GOVERNMENT as an institution that enforces the law. In this manner also this applies to other two institutions of FAMILY and CHURCH. Love must be seen as an endless debt in the family, church and the government.


2. Love is a bridge between Relationship and Law. It gives meaning to obedience and relationship and motivates obedience to law. Those we love, we obey so easily. Love makes an instruction very simple. It motivates the gentility of heart and pardoning of an error so quickly. What cane cannot achieve, love can. Let's try it today!


3. Love is an endless responsibility in relationship. It's tooth is gentle in biting, its fire does not burn but sooth, it does not devour but preserves. If we practice love in sincerity, no truth is hard to be said, no wound us hard to be healed, no error is hard to be forgiven, no duty is hard to be offered, no case shall be difficult to be settled. Love is a cold water that quenches fire. Let's continue to pay this endless debt, in due time, we shall reap if we faint not.


Prayer: Oh LORD my God, the entrance of your word gives light and understanding; let this message save me from errors. Help me to consistently pay my debt of love no matter the challenge of the time 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...
