Today's installment of the Spirit Filled Husband series focuses on the Duties of Love. Love compels a husband to a life of duty to his wife and ultimately, a man's greatness is measured by the kind of man he is not just in public, but particularly at home.
In expounding the subject, Pastor Adeola presented seven different ways by which husbands can demonstrate their love to their wives. He stated that a husband has a duty to his wife:
1. To fight his selfishness. 2. To be present. 3. To take initiative. 4. To lead spiritually. 5. To protect. 6. To provide. 7. To cherish.
He taught that selfishness is the source of disorder in the world and is also what causes chaos in marriages. However, as Christians we have been freed from the control of selfishness and get to practice leadership and authority as exemplified by Christ who in loving service washed the feet of his disciples and showed that to love is to practice self denial.
Christian husbands need to rely on the Holy Spirit continually and seek godly accountability to do this. God calls husbands to be kind of men that are present in the lives of their families. The love that the Christian husband displays must be founded on the personal and ongoing experience of Christ's love for his bride.

In today's sermon, Pastor Adeola continued the Spirit-Filled Husband series, exploring the sanctifying and sustaining love of Jesus for His church. He explained that Jesus intercedes on our behalf to deliver us from God's judgment so that He can sanctify us.
His Word is the instrument of this transforming love, and true transformation requires us to immerse ourselves in it and walk in obedience to it. The body of Christ is inseparably connected to Christ—His love is not out of obligation but of necessity.
The redeeming sacrifice of Christ was made unconditionally and as an example for us that we may draw power from it to extend same to one another.

In the first part of this series, we considered that the love between a man and his wife is meant to be a mirror of the love of Christ for his bride, the church. It can be nothing less than this.
In this part, Pastor Adeola took some time to labor over the context of God's love for the world as a whole and for his children in particular. He drew from several texts of scripture to show how the selective love of God makes the believer a special breed. God loves his children in a markedly different way than he loves every other human. It is a covenant love that appropriates something beyond the temporal trappings that support life in the earth. God loves his children in a way that guarantees they will enjoy an eternity in his unspeakably perfect presence. This is not the state of people who are not God's elect children.
In laying a further foundation for an full understanding of the implications of Christ's love for his church, Pastor Adeola highlights four elements this love so that by understanding them, we can be well equipped with the knowledge of God's expectations on husbands and their wives.

Marriage between a Christian man and woman is ultimately not for their sake, but it is meant to serve as a human portrait of the relationship between Christ and his church. Marriage is a mirror of Christ's love for his church. The overarching theme in this marriage relationship therefore, is love. The admonition for a Christian couple to submit to each other is predicated on the understanding that this submission must be driven by nothing else but love.
But this love could mean different things depending on the lenses you're looking through. Love has several facets or "types" if you like. And while this is so, the christian universal concept of love is not found in picking one of these facets as it is rooted in the expression of true love as imbibed and expressed by Christ.
The entire essence of love is understood only through the lenses of Christ and what he has done for the church. Every other expression of love that leaves out the Christ-kind of love, is not true love.
In this new series, Pastor Adeola teaches that a husband’s love—not authority—defines his role, mirroring Christ’s selfless love for the church. This love flows from the perfect unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, making husbands both stewards and recipients of a divine, sacrificial love. True leadership in marriage, he emphasized, is not about lordship but about loving as Christ loves.
