Easter 2021: “Let Love Lead” Pastor Ajinuhi

By Joshua Adinoyi, Lokoja.

Christians have been called upon to continue to show love to all men irrespective of religious belief.

A Guest Speaker at an Easter Love Feast organized by the Christ Apostolic Church (Temidire) along Salvation Road, Opposite Army Barracks Lokoja, Pastor Ajinuhi Samuel Oluwafemi, made the call while speaking on the theme of the program “Brethren’s Love”

Pastor Ajinuhi described love as a potent tool that fosters unity and bring about progress/development to a given society.

He said the essence of Christianity is being Christ like on earth, stressing that Christ Himself is love hence the need for believers of Christ to always show the love to others.

“The Bible made us to understand that God Himself is love. A Community that practices love, the people there enjoys long life and they stay healthy as well, love is very important”

Pastor Ajinuhi, who is the District Superintendent of Mercy District, Victory Zone Lokoja, explained that over 90% of the challenges the world is faced with was caused by men as a result of the absence of brotherly love, calling on humanity to always love one another.

“Jesus, when He began His earthly ministry, the demons will see Him and run away, but men plotted against Him which lead to His death. But little do they know that they were fulfilling the scriptures. Glory to God, He’s risen from the grave and He’s alive

“If we love one another, we won’t engage in acts that will cause harm to others, men won’t be killing others for money, if I love you, will I steal what belongs to you, deny you of your rights, will I speak evil of you to earn favor from men?

“Where love is practiced, everyone will be seeking the good of others. When we practice love genuinely, the world will become a better place for us all”

Pastor Ajinuhi, who is also the Executive Chairman, Kogi State Christian Pilgrims Commission, stressed that there was need for Nigerians to begin to see themselves as one irrespective of their location as such will bring about rapid development to all sectors of the Country.

“East, West, North, South, we are not different-we are one and if we really want Nigeria to become a great Nation, we really must love Nigeria

“When I say love Nigeria, who is Nigeria? You, your neighbors that are close to you, those far from you, that Christian, that Muslim, that man speaking a language that’s different from yours, they are the Nigeria, love them all and then we will enjoy peace and tranquility in our dear Country”

He commended the Church for organizing the feast, describing it as an act initiated by Jesus to strengthen the bond of love among believers.

Pastor Ajinuhi enjoined the Church to continue in such manner to enjoy more of God’s blessings.

On his part, the Host, Pastor Williams Omodara, in an interview affirms that the absence of genuine love among men has caused havoc to the world, stressing that there was need for men (male/female) to show God’s love to one another.

Pastor Omodara called for peaceful coexistence among the various tribes of the Country to enable the Nation attain greatness again.
