“Do u know that the only tree a monkey can’t climb is a Banana tree? Paradoxically, Banana is wat monkeys love the most. This means that anytime Banana is found in the hands of monkeys, it’s most likely a gift. Hence the phrase, “who dash monkey Banana?” was coined.

In the journey of life there are things you want but can never achieve unless you are given. Only by God’s grace, mercy or divine Favour- this’s beyond human control.

Therefore, it’s not of him that willeth or of him that runneth but of God that showeth mercy.”

Beloved of God,

I bought biros and pencils for distribution in the Government Primary School near our TLF Crentre as they resume school this week.

I looked at our purse and saw that if I buy a few only N6700 will be left even after I've paid my TLF dues for 2020. I realised that TLF like every individual, family, church, office, association and company needs/uses money for daily runnings, projects, and savings.

Ok, my heart has been telling me and reminding me that TLF is or was first my mission and in my need to get more hands on, finance and spread I incorporated it. Now it's public owned. I can't even go to sleep out of exhaustion, it has to be a going concern or wind up, God forbid

So I met some children in the school who came to the Centre today and asked how many pupils in their classes? The number they told me in one class alone would gulp a large number of pencils and biros I got over the weekend.

But I can't despair. God willing Thursday before I run to Court as early as 7.50 or 8am God keeping us I'll go and distribute the pencils and biros and any other thing I lay my hands on that can benefit the school this 2nd term.

In TLF the whole of September is dedicated for educational matters, but it is good that every month we reach out to the youngsters and the easiest place to find them is at school or lecture centres (UTME is even in February I think). 

I've a heart for the young and I refuse to be discouraged by money, the lack of it or the amount.

I remember when, how, why and where I started TLF and I know who I walk with, Jesus, Whom has been there all the way. If He could feed 5000 from 5 loaves and 2 fish and have leftovers, He will make a way.

A vast majority of people who own NGOs, Foundations and Trust Funds are very rich in money and/or have support from rich people also.
Am I in that category? All I can do is ... ☺

If as I write I have my own life, personal income and expenditure in one hand, and that of TLF in another hand, and from there plan to run our 2020 budget running into thousands, millions and our building project for our permanent site also running into lots of money and I'm here saying we have barely N6700, how can TLF progress in this New Beginning

Or, _🐵who 🙈dash 🙉monkey 🙊banana?_ 🐒

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 17: 9 He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend. 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 ...
