Charity Picture

Oh what a time to be born!
Look at these items I was privileged to receive from my professional body and church archdiocese! I also received 2 months data from my FGBMFI chapters and cash from one of the landlords on the street where TLF is situate. All these and more were diverted to TLF majorly because truly God blesses us to be blessings on others.
Comparing yourself with others is vain so the Bible says. If others can give 50kg bags of rice and 20,000 naira, let’s be happy and count it a privilege if we are able to give 3 cups of rice, 500 naira and 75cl bottle of oil or more so what we have.
Charity is purely in the heart. It is strictly between you and God, and it is for the edification of you and I. God does not eat our food nor does He need our currencies so whatever we do we do to the lest of our brethren in Him. The widow gave a mite but it was her all. If we sow sparingly we will reap sparingly. But if we do bountifully, we too will receive bountifully. It is the measure God has given us we give. He has called us differently. It is a test of faith. It is not easy that is why it is the Holy Spirit Who leads. If you think Abraham easily gave out Isaac then you may not know the strength of parental love for Abraham gave in tears but gave willingly. That was sacrificial. This is what we called to do. Let it touch you, almost pain you even, for this is what God did when He gave Jesus His only begotten Son.
Today my data expired and was exhausted, my palm oil, fishes, eggs, rice, garri, beans, and others are being eaten but I don’t fear that I would suffer, for I still hear the birds in the sky and I still know that I am worth more than the sparrows. So are you! Do charity.

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of God's word and called it 'pluralism'. We have worshipped other gods and said 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar'.

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 ...

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
