Obedience: The Evidence Of His Love

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 6, 2017

Obedience which does not proceed from genuine love to Christ has no reality in it; it is not the genuine offspring of the heart, the real act of the soul. It lacks the essential motive and inspiration of all Christian deeds.

“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more
