The Zonal Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Olushi Zone, Victoria Island Lagos, Pastor (Dr.) J.B. Olajide has stated that one of the expectations of God from His children (Christians) is that they should show love to the sinners.
He noted that as Christians we faced on daily basis with people who are in need, starting from unbelievers next door and many believers around us, saying that the expectation of the Lord is that we reach out to them in love.
Pastor Olajide noted this while delivering a lecture on the topic "Love in Action" at the 7th Annual Refresher Course for Ministers of God, Elders and Deaconesses organized by Olushi Zone.
According to him, love is the most desired virtue by many, but least demonstrated.
The Cleric said that everybody wants to be loved but few wish to pay the price of loving others, adding that many teach and preach the virtue, but fail to practice it.
Pastor Olajide opined that demonstration of love is the only means by which peace and progress can be attained in the house, Church and the society.
He urged Christians to put love in deeds and truth, saying that the Samaritan could be described as man who doesn't know much but practice the little he has learnt about love in action.
