    olume 13 - Number 2 www.christloveinternational.org April - June 2012

    I have written a book titled, Love the

    Nature of God. Read it and you will know

    more about the love of God. Do you know

    what it means to love God with all your

    heart, wholeheartedly, not half-heartedlybut your whole heart?

    1. It means talking about Him most of the time.

    When you love someone wholeheartedly, you want

    to talk about him or her most of the time. You have

    their photographs in your wallet, ofce, home, etc.

    Its the same with God; my ofce and my home are

    full of scriptures. We should keep Him close to our

    hearts; we should talk about Him all the time, or

    most of the time. So, talk about Jesus most of the time

    if you love Him.

    2. It means putting Him rst in everything. He should

    be #1 in our lives. It should always be God rst, the

    family second and the church third. He wants to take

    the rst place in our lives.

    3. It means obeying Him. This is also very important. If

    you love Him, you will want to please Him by obeying

    His word and commandments. You dont want to

    grieve Him or break His heart by disobeying His

    Word. If you want to be close to God, then obey HisWord. To obey is better than sacrice, Amen. God

    will sometimes test you to see how much you truly

    love Him.

    4. It means fellowshipping with Him and wanting to be

    in His presence. You dont want to leave His presence

    Amen. You wont go to church and be looking at your

    watch. Your mind will dwell on Him.

    5. Lastly it means giving your life, your time and your

    money to Him. David said the zeal of your house has

    eaten me up.

    Loving GodBy Pastor Kkelomo Toun

    I John 4:20 says if a man says, I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that

    loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen.

    Visit to Christlove International Church, London, U.KBy Dr. Phlp Toun

    We were guests of our London, U.K. branch of Christlove

    International Church from March 21, 2012 through March 27,

    2012. We were hosted by Pastor Babajide Oni, his wife, Femi and

    the entire membership of the church.It is a young, dynamic church whose membership is a picture

    of heaven (Revelation 7:9) multinational and multicultural.

    The young people that we met were zealous for the things of

    God Elton Shango, Abigail Frazier, Rashika Rampersad and

    Shaaban. By the time you read this piece, Elton and Abigail

    would have been married (April 14, 20012). We rejoice with

    them and thank God for a new Christian home.

    The church is aggressively evangelistic, with a two-pronged

    approach to reaching people for Christ one tailored to the

    youth, the other to adults. To this end three outreaches are

    conducted monthly in London, Weybridge, and Addlestone.

    Captioned FRIENDZ (John 15:15), it comprises Relationships

    and Health, Sports and Mission, Music and Auditions, Training

    and Development, Social Events and Charity, as well as Prayer

    and Counselling. The church has also embraced the new

    technology Face book, Twitter, YouTube and tumblr. for

    evangelistic purposes.

    Discipleship is a priority through their Christ Disciples

    Camp which is held Monday through Friday as well as on Sunday

    afternoon. This is a step in the right direction. Many churches

    today are lled with converts who have not been discipled.

    Our visit coincided with the launching of the rst album by

    Mrs. Femi Oni, the wife of Pastor Babajide Oni. My wife and I

    co-chaired the launching of the new CD. She is blessed with an

    angelic voice and we pray that more albums will follow. To Godbe the glory.

    We also spent some time on sightseeing in London with the

    help of Pastor Oni. Some of the attractions were Big Ben, The

    London Eye, a massive Ferris wheel which we refused to ride,(we

    were told that you could see much of London from the top of the

    Eye), Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and

    London Bridge.

    We would like to express our gratitude to Pastor and Mrs.

    Oni and the entire congregation of Christlove International

    Church, London, U.K. for their love and generosity. We really

    enjoyed our time of fellowship with you and look forward to

    seeing you all, again. In the words of the immortal song of faith

    by John Fawcett:

    Blest be the tie that binds

    Our hearts in Christian love

    The fellowship of kindred minds

    Is like to that above

    Shalom!
