From the hour of 3am 
Our focus will be on 
Non-Violence 
Prayer 
Alpha and Omega, right from the beginning of time the earth has been corrupt before You, and filled with violence. The wicked ones have pride as their necklaces; while violence covers them like a garment. But Father we know You can take violence away from the land. Save us, save Your people Lord, in Jesus name, amen. 
Praise 
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, 
Just to take Him at His Word 
Just to rest upon His promise, 
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!" 

 Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! 
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er 
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! 
Oh, for grace to trust Him more! 

 I'm so glad I learned to trust Him, 
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend 
And I know that He is with me, 
Will be with me to the end. 

 Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus, 
Just to trust His cleansing blood 
And in simple faith to plunge me 
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood! 

 Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, 
Just from sin and self to cease 
Just from Jesus simply taking 
Life and rest, and joy and peace. 
Ponder 
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 
Read 
Isaiah 60:18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; But you shall call your walls Salvation, And your gates Praise. Micah 2:2 They covet fields and take them by violence, Also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, A man and his inheritance. Micah 6:12 For her rich men are full of violence, Her inhabitants have spoken lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth 


Prayer-point 
Let us pray against all forms of violence in our lands. Let us pray specifically against sexual, tribal, racial, domestic, political, boko haram, bandits and herdsmen’s violence Let us pray that God will protect us and our loved ones as well as all His children from violence. 
Charge 
Let us declare that the Lord will make us instruments of His peace as we shall not yield our members unto violence.

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 ...

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it 'freedom of expression'. We have ...

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...
