Valentine’s Day!!! Message from Rev. John D. Shanwun Resident Pastor, RCCN Abuja – Bika-Babba Live Gate
Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, and friends of our community,
As we mark this special day of love, I extend to you warm greetings and heartfelt prayers. Valentine’s Day is more than just a celebration of romantic affection; it is a beautiful reminder of the greatest love story ever written — God’s love for humanity.
The Bible tells us in 1 John 4:7-8:
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
This powerful truth calls us to reflect on how we love — not just in words, but in actions, patience, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Love is the foundation of our faith, the heartbeat of our church, and the light that shines in our community at Bika-Babba Live Gate and beyond.
To our married couples, may your love continue to grow stronger, rooted in Christ’s example of unconditional love and commitment. To those who are single, know that you are deeply cherished by God, and His plans for you are beautiful and purposeful. To families, friends, and neighbors, let this day inspire us to reach out, to heal broken relationships, and to spread kindness everywhere we go.
Let us remember that love is not just a feeling but a choice — a daily decision to put others before ourselves, to listen with compassion, and to serve with humility. As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, may we all be vessels of God’s love, bringing hope and joy to everyone around us.
May the love of Christ fill your hearts, homes, and lives today and always.
With abundant blessings and love,
Rev. John D. Shanwun
