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 was born. Their travelling was not by choice but they had a safe journey (as would as any here that have and will travel to and fro, amen). They had no money but ended the day with gold, frankincense and myrrh all gifts for baby Jesus. 

So what are your expectations for this 2018 Christmas? What gifts are you expecting from God? What gift are you giving Him? 

Happy Christmas and have a safe, blessed and joyfully happy day

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil?

Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am the LORD. Proverbs 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Proverbs 11:13 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden. Psalms 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Charles For: Frien...

Our TLF 2 Day Event

Our TLF 2 Day Event started on Thursday and ended yesterday Friday. We had the person of Mrs Ishioma Francis who came to share good news with the children. We had Art competition and prizes were given. We had spelling bee and gifts were given. We had skipping competition and gifts were given. We had recitation of poems originally written by the children and gifts were given. We also used the opportunity to remind everyone of our theme for August. We shared our drinks and biscuits and everyone had a nice time. The children interacted and had a nice time. It came to a happy end and everyone went back home safely. We look forward to more activities such as these. We thank God for the success and blessings. God bless all those who contributed in various ways. Remember that, the ultimate law is love. TLF

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
