Our End of Year Party

Beloved, There is no One like God Almighty No one can be like Him. As a testimony of all that happened at our penultimate activity for the year- our children’s party I'll pray that you join me to THANK GOD ALMIGHTY. Firstly, a couple of people who said they'll be there did not turn up. I had no plans on collecting the food but Mummy Akpofure's car developed a problem and she could not bring it. On a personal note there was no light to iron my TLF T-shirt.  We had not had light since 24th December. The electrician meant to connect our generator did not return on time after mobilising him with all the money we had. The drinks I'd kept in a freezer to chill had not blocked the way I wanted. The ultimate of them all was that my external hard drive containing all my documents, the data I'd have to use for the children with the projector, and it's older brother another hard drive I'm  use as back up became unreadable! I said I

Merry Christmas

Beloved happy Christmas, To our mothers in the house you can imagine the labour pains Mary had started experiencing and now given birth. The angels had concluded their rehearsals and now singing. The shepherds had made plans for tomorrow like any other day but now experienced a divine encounter. The wise men were busy studying, observing and contemplating now following a star. Herod was busy gloating soon will soon shiver. Joseph was busy making arrangements and now Jesus is born to come as the One the world eagerly expected and longed for, to save the world. So how are we celebrating Christmas? The mass of Christ, the day set aside from 366 days to mark the birth of our Saviour? No matter the turkey, chicken, rice, oil, dress, shoe, money, and others we have or do other have, Christmas will come and the heavens and earth shall sing and celebrate because that's exactly what happened on the first Christmas!  Joseph and Mary had no bags of rice, Christmas clothes or shoe. But Jesus w

Who belongs here, TLF

Season's greetings, Depending on where you are, the season of Christmas and New Year is already in the air. Okay not just the harmattan and dryness. We need to hydrate more and use more ointments be you male or female! We recognise that people are experiencing various other seasons in their lives- Some just got engaged, got married, had a baby, got a new job, got a promotion, got transferred, got a new home, and so on. Some others have loved ones on admission in the hospital, incarcerated in prison, stranded in foreign countries, kidnapped, in debt, in the midst of false fraudulent cases, or facing threat to life, business, health or academic pursuit. But whatever we are going through, please let's be reminded of the awesome power of God. The power, mercy and love of God far exceeds all life throws at us and gives us, the good and the bad. Ecclesiastes  5:19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his po

From An August Experience

Goodmorning beloved of God, I travelled recently with a military man in our bus. He's a captain and he said his wife is heavily pregnant. But he had to leave Ughelli en route Abuja to Maiduguri. He was carrying foodstuffs and in particular half bag of garri. He said he used to fly initially but when he considered the cost, it was consuming almost half of his salary. We talked some more and I was reminded of our visit to an IDP camp some time back. Just as soldiers are having it rough at the war front combating terrorists in parts of Nigeria, those whose villages, towns and cities have been ransacked and attacked are even in a deeper dilemma. The sad thing is that many people feel someok else out there somewhere will help. But when we all think that why nothing gets done. I asked them at the IDP if they had been visited by their reps, councillors and leaders from Borno, Adamawa or Yobe,  they said no. So where do we go to to get donations in cash, relief materials and temporary re

Viola's Nuggets

Hi there, If you have a daughter or a sister who's grown, always check on them. Give them money now and then to buy pads, under wears, and maybe toiletries. Females sometimes would never ask for these things from us, but they genuinely need them. They might ask from the wrong persons. If you have friends/relations who are students, call them sometimes, check on them. If you have #500 or #1000  give them. Life as a student sometimes gets really tough. Your kind gestures to them, goes a long way in helping them keep to a positive line. Men, if you have friends who are currently jobless, call them sometimes in solidarity. When going for a hair cut or shave sometimes,make them come along to get a hair cut or shaved too, while you pay. When recharging your phone, do recharge theirs too.  It may be nothing to you but sure means a lot to a jobless or poor fellow. Their ego wouldn't allow them to ask for it. When your friends are into business, patronize and support them even
