“Christianity Is A Religion Of Love, Islam Is A Religion Of Peace” — Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere

Christianity is a religion of love, Islam is a religion of peace. But I have seen religion have destroyed many people more than the devil (himself). I left religion in 2018, yes, after my secondary school education that same year, Executive. I am a Christian, non-denominational Christian — I belong to Adonay through Jesus Christ.

Executive, when we let love and faith lead, we as a state will experience more peace, progress and prosperity. We are experiencing wars up and down because we want our religion to conquer. We are fighting religious war over the peace of the nation. Faith keep us standing, and when we pray in love heaven listen. 

Jesus Christ taught us, Christians, to love one another. The Scriptures taught us to live with peace with all men — Christianity is a culture of love, Islam is a religion of peace indeed! Do not be equally yoked with unbelievers — but everyone is a believer. I am born into Christianity, and I choose to be a Christian by my own choice — after deep research and findings — I found salvation in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Yes, you believe in your faith, I believe in my faith, the man over there have his own beliefs — the lady over there have it own beliefs. I do know that Christ Jesus is the only way and truth to God. We should not be deceived, there is only one way to heaven, which is through Jesus Christ. But that did not come for war, it did not come for condemning those that are not in the path of Christianity. 

Jesus Christ never came to fix religion, Jesus Christ came to fix broken relationship between man and Adonay. Blessed Are You, O' Adonay! Hallelujah! Executive, we have to know that living together in peace despite different faith is unique and can be bound by love. Faith, love and hope — love is the greatest! No love no peace.

You can heal, you can preach the salvation message, you can speak in tongues, you can give to charity — but without love, it is all counted as nothing before Adonay. That you may love all men as I have loved you, Jesus Christ said to us through the Knowledge of the Truth. Redeeming love is what the world needs now, what we need now — but we are in the days of fables, lies, deceits.

I can recall in the Book of Mark 2 vs. 16—17; I am not a Bible scholar or Religious teacher — I am a Businessman, Industrialist, Investor, and a Christian. Jesus Christ was accused of eating and meeting with the sinners. What was His response? They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

That have made me to realise something, Jesus Christ love porn stars, Jesus Christ love those that smokes — He is calling them to Him, sinners to repentance. He does not look at your sin history, your résumé in work of inquiries. Only if you are willing to confess your sins, ask for forgiveness, and believe in Jesus Christ — you are forgiven and be born again. For as many that believe in His name, gave He power to become sons of God.

Let's keep praying. Faith should keep us standing, love should lead us. Not just feel love but also act in love. My unique one is a Muslim lady, Ishola Rukayat Nifemi Arike, a Yoruba Muslim — she came to the knowledge of some Christian culture and Bible through me, by God's grace — sometimes she do say, “Augustine you can love and because of you, I believe in love”. With love nothing is impossible, love cannot conquer anything without faith. 

Love need to be standing on faith. Faith should keep standing while we keep loving purely. Executive, being a Christian is not hard, but we have let different men's doctrines to lead us, instead of the Truth. He is not coming to church again, he has backslide — wait! Do you care about his welfare, or what happened. Christianity from the Bible is a culture of love, Jesus Christ emphasize it, the early church practices it — and grew in numbers. 

Islam is a religion of peace, that's why their Islamic empires are growing fast and being supreme wealthy. The northern part of Nigeria, is a testament of how the north rules even in our political system. Executive, with collective efforts and prayers from both faith, and bound in love — nothing is hard to accomplish. Faith is what will keep us standing, and love is what will make us one — and when we pray in love heaven listen. 

I will end by saying, the only way we can have peace and progress, is when we move from religion into love and faith. This is the only process we can have everything good around us. Go out there, love all men, live in peace with all men, keep your faith standing and alive. Protect yourself with prayers, do good to all men — then you will see the goodness of Adonay and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in your life freely.
