Knowing Jesus is the greatest gift we can receive; sharing Him is the greatest gift we can give.  Good morning friends of Jesus our Lord,  Happy mothers day to all aspiring mothers, mothers, grandmothers and mothers of the 'sons' we have here!  Mother's day is marked and celebrated on different days. Some churches mark theirs before, others after Easter. What is important is that we celebrate our mothers, whether alive with us here on earth or alive in heaven with our Heavenly Father.  Kindly drop a line for mothers as we mark this day. Please don't feel left out if your mum is no more with us. Celebrate her still, and yourself if you are one or your wife or sisters if they are!  For me, I celebrate my mother.  "I pray God blesses, strengthens and elevates her higher still. May she have joy, peace, mercy, grace, wisdom, protection, provision, laughter, good health, favour, safety, love, good gifts and contentment. May she be kept safe and free from evil

#trashchallenge

Hello beloved of God, God willing we will be joining the trash challenge tomorrow. Let's keep our environments clean. We hope the weather will be favourable. We hope our volunteers will turn up. We hope to sensitise people along the way so our work will not be in vain.  We hope to have a fun filled time. Please wherever you are in Nigeria join this cause. Thanks  TLF
It's another fine Tuesday, Goodmorning. Kindly read this story I saw on Vivien's Facebook wall: One cold night, A billionaire met an old poor man outside. He asked him 'don't you feel cold being outside, and not wearing any coat?' The old man replied "'i don't have it but i got used to that.'" The billionaire replied " wait me. I will enter to my house now and bring you one. " The poor man got so happy and said he will wait him. The billionaire entered his house and got busy there and forgot the poor man. In the morning he remembered that poor old man and he went out to search for him but he found him dead coz of cold with a NOTE: "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the power to fight the cold coz I was used to that. But when you promised me to help me, I got attached to your promise and that took my power of resisting'". "Don't promise anything if you can't keep your promise. It migh
Greetings in the name of love,  Happy new week to all concerned, connected and carried along with Tina Love Foundation (TLF).  In this beautiful week, many will mark their birthdays, get married, give birth, get new contracts, jobs, promotions, scholarships, have safe trips, get well, get stronger, get smarter and become more loving, amen. Even though on another side people will get sick, die, get sacked and quarel, we know that by God's Word and promise, we will pray and receive good things- Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final out­come. However, in whatever situation and whatever come our ways, we will praise the Lord.  Culled from "The Greatest Rescue Mission" by Bill Crowder As followers of Jesus we have the privilege, with the Holy Spirit’s help, to join our Savior in the greatest rescue mission of all.

Greetings in love,  Hope our day went well and we are in good health  Before the unfortunate event of the Cyclone Idai which happened in Africa on Friday, many individuals, groups, NGOs, Foundations and Charities had their plans, projects and budgeted to-do-list.  But just as things happen in life that we don't plan for, this Cyclone happened.  In this month of March, our focus in TLF is on Nature and the Environment. As part of our activities for the 31 days, we listed out certain days the United Nations set out to commemorate certain events bordering on nature and the environment.  [Even though they are many other activities and special days in the month of March like for example, today is World Poetry Day and yesterday was International Day for Happiness!]  We as a Foundation would like to add to our to-do-list a response to an email we got from Elisabeth, a VSO volunteer. The email reads:  "My family and I have just been through the most terrifying ordeal of o
Today is 21st March It is International Day of Forests  Send us an article, spoken word, newsfeed, short video or picture we can use to commemorate the day. We recommend you watch “God of Wonders” Do we still have forests near our areas?
Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me walk by the Word and not my feelings. Help me to keep my heart pure and undivided. Protect me from my own careless thoughts, words, and actions. And keep me from being distracted by My wants, My desires, My thoughts on how things should be. Help me to embrace what comes my way as an opportunity rather than a personal inconvenience. Yes, in our year of access, you remain my ever present help in Jesus' Name, Amen. For no weapon formed against you shall prosper always.
In March our aim has been to- Advocate Create Awareness Celebrate, Mark and Commemorate  All issues and matters relating to nature. We live in nature. We may have those living in pure concrete (corporate world), pure tech (high technology settings), or pure steal (prison, or other confinements) But we are all still part of and forever will be part of nature! Look around your environment, what do you see, feel, hear, taste, touch and smell? The waters, the sky, the stars, sun, the animals, the deserts, the forest... What's all around you? Do you like them? If yes, how are you going to help preserve them and create awareness for others too to do? That tree you are seeing may not last till just next year, not to talk of the springs and ponds in your neighbourhood or the animals loving freely in nature. Although we have not yet reached these times of the year, let us join in in the month of March to carry out our theme of nature which all encompasses all nature is
Writing, speaking, drawing and mentoring are among the major ways people are etched in the sands/concrete of time.  I remember watching the TED Talk delivered by Prof Pius Adesanmi, now late and wondering how someone could combine his experiences over time in different climes and still make sense in less than 20 minutes?  Though many people have died as some sarcastically say on social media, the demise of Prof Pius is one that speaks to the heart of many, plus me. A fellow alumnus of the two universities he attended while in Nigeria, a literary genius and humorous speaker.  I would be showing his TED talk at our TLF Centre in his honour very soon. May he rest in peace, and so also all the faithful departed. This is to encourage us to etch our passion, drive and calling in time by whatever means we can. No one remembers Hitler or Judas for good.  Let's be remembered for good. Whether as a house wife, professor of geophysics, a pilot, a hedge fund professional, a hairdresser
Greetings in the name of the LORD God of love,  Join us in line with our theme for March.  See the challenge in the picture below.  One of the days in this month, we will be taking the children on a street cleaning advocacy to encourage people to keep tidy their environment. At the centre the children have learnt in a fun way to use the waste bins in the centre!  Nature is a composition of many natural things in my view! The trees, flowers, animals, plants, and so on.  Looking at how many high brow areas are kept clean, with manicured lawns and hedges, well nourished pets and clean gutters, abundance of trees giving out oxygen and flowers oozing out breathtaking smells and scents, you cannot fail to see that such environment will be friendly to social development.  What concerns TLF with this? Well, charity begins at home, cleanliness is next to godliness, God left man to cater for nature, a sustainable environment is a safeguard for social developme
My beloved, if God seems slow in respondong, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart....happy friday and God bless you
Don't ever underestimate the power of your words. Satan doesn't. He works constantly to get you to turn them in a negative direction. He'll fire darts of pain and sickness and discouragement at you just to get you to speak faithless words - words that will eventually send your life up in smoke. Don't let him succeed. Make no mistake, your words aren't meaningless or powerless in your life. Yes, in our year of access, your words will surely produce your desires in Jesus' Name, Amen. For the words that comes out from your mouth will be activated by the Holy ghost to put food on your table today and always.
Greetings in love, I trust we are doing fine in our families, work and other endeavours.  I wish us well. I sincerely thank each and everyone of us here and other friends of TLF on our other platforms. A number of people come to our centre to make enquiries about how they too can start their own NGOs, and when I share my experiences since TLF became formal and a Incorporated Trust, they often feel discouraged. Although Jesus told the rich young ruler that he should come and follow him, the young man walked away sad because he considered all he had to give up (Mark 10:21-22).  Some of the people who get discouraged from my "testimonies" often do so because they are not willing to give up on certain things and face the challenges. But in reality, life is full of challenges. Whether or not you are involved in an NGO or not, you would face challenges with your family, health, life, faith, finance, job, colleagues, neighbours, church members and many other aspects of life. So

Happy March

Happy new month of March, In His presence there is fullness of joy.  As we experience his nearness we get our portion of joy from the Lord as our strength.  There is no sorrow, worry, doubt, or fear there's just an abundance of love, peace and goodness.  That's what we get when we pursue Jesus as our Lord & saviour.  Yes, in our year of access, no shame, no disgrace and no disappointment will come near you in Jesus' Name, Amen. For our God will continue to protect you this new month.
UN Days UNITED NATIONS  This day is observed by the United Nations. 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 March  Zero Discrimination Day [UNAIDS]  3 March  World Wildlife Day (A/RES/68/205) 8 March International Women's Day  20 March  International Day of Happiness (A/RES/66/281)  21 March  International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (A/RES/2142 (XXI))  World Poetry Day (UNESCO 30 C/Resolut
