Profile for the Month



Look at the life of the Pastor Enoch Adeboye, a pastor in the vineyard of the Lord God Almighty who through the years has demonstrated that his approval comes from God and not the applause from the pews! When he sings, kneels, prays and preaches, he is doing so for God. You may sneer and say, ‘Can anyone know the real intent and purpose of a man’s heart?’ No, but by the Spirit of God we are test all spirits and know who is truly of God!
I wonder why, but the fact is that lots of us live most of our life trying to impress the next person. We put extra effort and spent beyond our means to look good and portray a picture larger than real to get the applause of men.
What I have learnt about this "weakness" is that when you do things to get the applause of men. It is usually ephemeral. You may get an "hosanna" today and turn around to get a "crucify him" tomorrow. Is that worth it?
Won't it be nobler to be true to yourself and seek for the applause of your conscience? Most times you don't get this much longed for applause because the people are too busy applauding themselves or they just don't want to applaud you and that leaves us unhappy.
Talking about labouring to impress and gain people's applause, someone said, "We spend the money we don't have to buy things we don't need to impress people that have refused to be impressed"
Our focus should simply be on making a difference with our lives and gain the applause of our conscience. If men applaud us, we savor the pleasure and move on but that should not be our focus. Will God say, “This is my own in whom I am well pleased.”
This is our profile personality for the month. Pray that in his standing, he stands till the end!

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 June Global Day of Parents   3 June World Bicycle Day  4 June International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression   5 June World Environment Day  5 June International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  8 June World Oceans Day   12 June World Day Against Child Labour 13 June International Albinism Awarene...
