What is Love? read Dr. ifeanyi Ubah talk on "Love"


What does the Bible teach us about Love?

A lot has been said in the Bible in an attempt to make Love intelligible.

1 John 4:7-8 summarises Love in its entirety - "Love is God" and "God is Love".

In 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, the characteristics of agape - the altruistic and selfless love that God represents are listed:
Love is patient and kind;
Love doesn’t envy, boast, or dishonor others;
Love is not proud or self-seeking;
Love is not easily angered, doesn’t keep a record of wrongs, and doesn’t delight in evil;
rather, Love rejoices with the truth;
Love always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres;
Love never fails.

The Bible also taught us that God was so moved by Love that he gave his only Son in a bid to save the world from eternal damnation as elucidated by John 3:16 which reads "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have eternal life. This manner of Love was demonstrated by God despite man's failure to live by his tenets and commandments.

All in all, God’s demonstration of Love shows that one is not required to be “worthy” before receiving or being shown Love as true Love is gracious.

Seeing that Love is God’s nature and God is the solitary source of Love, we should endeavor to show Love to one another as taught by Jesus Christ in Matthew 22:35–40 and Mark 12:28–34 where he commanded us to love our neighbor like we love ourselves.

It is imperative that we allow Love in the manner demonstrated by God be the principle and standard that guides and informs all our actions/inactions as this would definitely make our world a better place to live and coexist in.

Let Love reign supreme!

Happy Sunday to you and your family.

Anambra State and Nigeria cannot afford to hastily get used to this phenomenal development in her sporting world. When the Chairman, Capital Oil & Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah concieved the idea to build the best privately-owned football stadium in Africa, it seemed like an unattainable feat, but finally, it has become a reality as Nnewi, Anambra State has begun to play host to other Nigerian football formations, in the different local leagues and  Africa, in the various seasons' CAF Confederation Cup competitions and friendly outings.

#OzubuluMassacre, Bishop Reacts: Defamation and false allegations

Defamation and false allegations My attention has been drawn to a social media campaign where it is alleged that I am  connected to the Ozubulu church killing over a drug problem. For the avoidance of any doubt I wish to inform the general public that I know nothing about the church killings and i have never been involved in drugs. I have never been arrested or convicted anywhere in the world. My businesses are legitimate buinesses, duly registered. Apart from warehousing and wholesale of goods I am also a contractor involved in the construction of roads and  infrastructure in Nigeria. It's shameful that Nigerians and the media don't verify any story before running with them. The handwork of those who are jealous of my success and who are determined to tarnish my image is  evident. The Church killings is an unprecedented evil that deserves full investigation to unmask the perpetrators. We await investigations and full police report of the church attack. In the mea...

ILLEGAL DETENTION: CAPITAL OIL WORKERS CALL ON FG TO RESOLVE IMPASSE AS DSS FAILS TO PROVIDE DR. UBAH AGAIN

Nigeria's secret Police, the Department of State Services on Thursday, again failed to produce the Chairman, Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, before Justice Muhammed Idris of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. This is in flagrant disregard of the May 12, 2017, court order given to the DSS by Justice Idris, to produce Ubah in court today. However, this came as no fewer than 500 supporters from across different ethnic groups stormed the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, today, to rally around and show support for the oil mogul. This is even as anger and moral indignation has continued to swell further over the continued detention of the Nnewi-born Billionaire Businessman, by the DSS Leading the pack of those who have condemned the DSS continued detention of Ubah are Pan-Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo; Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC); the National Association of South East Nigeria Students (NASENS), HURIWA, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and  affected workers of Capita...
