Greetings in the name of the Lord God of mercy, love and judgment, 

Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 

Reading through the Holy Bible really truly helps us all to understand God's plan and purpose for all His creation. 

It's sad that people who are not Christians or who outrightly hate the things of Jesus Christ seem to read, know and quote the Scriptures more than us. 

Can someone know more about our homes, our spouses, our children, our parents, our business, our personal lives or our emotions and state of mind over and above us? 

We spend time getting to know more about ourselves and those we love; 
About politics and the state of the nation; About football clubs and fashion trends; About our health and food choices; 
About new investments, technologies and business opportunities. 

Not to mention all the bad news flying over the social media! 

We know and desire so much of the world that we often forget that God is the same, yesterday, today and forever, being God He will never pass away, but all the things we concern ourselves with will all pass away. 

They will all become irrelevant and inconsequential. Once upon a time common entrance, Junior WAEC and JAMB were of great concern to us! 

For some of us it was where we were going to serve; 
it was where we were going to work; 
it was how the wedding day will be; 
it was how the labour ward will be; 
it was about one thing or the other that has now taken the back seat for something new. 

Some years ago we learnt of the injustice of the Aluu 4 of Rivers State, Now we are hearing of the girl who Peper was inserted in her private part in Benin City, Edo state. We once heard of the injustice of several workers laid off from the producers of Lacasera, MTN and several banks, Now we are hearing that the former staff of Nigerian Airways of yesteryear have been paid their dues. 

Jesus said the poor will always be with us, not to make us angry, helpless or indifferent, but for us to know that God will always be there and able to meet every need. 

When one person's need has been met and he goes his way, another person is born or comes along with a need also. 

So we would always hear news of social injustice around us and subsequent social justice as we go on in life. 

Our duty therefore is to help reduce when possible, or eradicate when possible, 
or create the awareness when possible, 
or to raise public outcry when necessary, 
or influence policy makers to address the injustice when feasible, 
or stand against such injustice when the time comes. 

How many of us will join in jungle justice? Or vote buying? Or cover up of a criminal you know? Or kill a bill which would address an injustice? How many us will be agents of social justice? 

As the year moves, as the month of February moves, let's be reminded that TLF does not just provide consumables (in form of charity) but works for lasting policies, positions and stands (social development). 

Let's stand for social justice!

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 ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
