(TLF) The Ultimate Law Is Love

This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa...  One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator).  We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.  Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates). "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst wate...

  “Room 5020” By Dave Branon You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done. Genesis 50:20 Jay Bufton turned his hospital room into a lighthouse. The fifty-two-year-old husband, father, high school teacher, and coach was dying of cancer, but his room—Room 5020—became a beacon of hope for friends, family, and hospital workers. Because of his joyful attitude and strong faith, nurses wanted to be assigned to Jay. Some even came to see him during off-hours. Even as his once-athletic body was wasting away, he greeted anyone and everyone with a smile and encouragement. One friend said, “Every time I visited Jay he was upbeat, positive, and filled with hope. He was, even while looking cancer and death in the face, living out his faith.” At Jay’s funeral, one speaker noted that Room 5020 had a special meaning. He pointed to Genesis 50:20, in which Joseph says that although his brothers sold him into slavery, God turned the tables and accomplished...

  Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Luke 7: 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. 6 Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. 7 "Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 When Jesus heard these things, He ma...

  OUR WEEKLY OUTLINE  Mondays - General Counselling and Prayers We would agree that there is an increase in wrong decisions being taken by many with regards life and death when things don't go well. There is a need for group circle meetings where strength can be pulled from likeminded people. It's the same way testimonies of believers help strengthen our faith. Come for counselling and group circle meetings. Tuesdays - Seminars and Workshops  Based on our monthly theme we have different sub-themes from which we need to address and formulate action plans as a group. These seminars and workshops also provide opportunities to have film shows. The effect of having audio-visual meetings can't be overestimated.

Wednesdays - Ecumenism in Music By bringing people together who have interest in music, we provide in our immediate community, the opportunity for people to sing, have spoken word poetry, and learn w...

  Cancer Update from John Hopkins    1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard Tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.   2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's life time. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.   4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle (lack of sleep) factors.   5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poiso...

  Bottled water in your car.....very dangerous, woman!!!! This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer. This has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels in breast cancer, especially in Australia.  A friend whose mother was recently Heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.  The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue. Use a stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!!  CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL   1. No plastic containers in micro.  2. No water bottles in freezer.   3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.  This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Diox...

  Do you wear bra for the whole day and even at home?  For years, a lot of articles with regards to the causes of breast cancer point to an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as the major links to this disease which happens to be the biggest killer among women. One article links breast cancer to the wearing of bras. In the "Bra and Breast Cancer Study" in the United States, it was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet) developed the disease. In fact, virtually the entire cancer group wore bras over 12 hours. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast. ...

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who participate in the research, management and treatment of all types of cancers. God bless your labour and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. We recognise the works of traditional medical practitioners and alternative health care providers in the management of cancer treatments. We also encourage people to go for regular check ups and tests. Early detection is key to overcome cancer. Most importantly is trust in the healing power of God Almighty Who gives wisdom to the researchers, donors, medical professionals and pharmacists. Remember Psalms 147:3 He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. There is no answer outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your preservation and conservations, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent. in loving memory of our loved ones lost to cancer and in hearty celebration of our loved one...

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 Organisation. 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 specialised agencies of the United Nations, such as WHO, 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. 2 April World Autism Awareness Day  6 April International Day of Sport for Development and Peace   7 April International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda  7 April World Health Day   21 April World Creativity and Innovation Day  23 April World Book and Copyright Day  Stella For: Friends of TLF April

I often attend Inaugural lectures wherever I find myself in academic environments in whatever field it centres on. In one of the lecture series I attended, I walked home with a man who asked a very pungent question. He said with all our intelligent professors and educative lectures what good have they brought to the society? How has Nigeria as a whole progressed? It is a food for thought. If only our numerous projects, theses and researches can leave the shelves and go to town! Money is not everything. When we get degrees is it just for our self aggrandisement or wealth? The ultimate law is love, so says the Bible and we align with it in TLF. Love starts with a smile, grows with a trust, and ends with satisfaction. The satisfaction that all God has endowed on us and our knowledge gotten, must necessitate that we take our "gowns" to "town." Let us impact where God has sent us to. How can our society develop if we do not apply even our academic knowledge? Tobo For: TL...

  We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who are involved in Autism Awareness. God bless your labour and work of love. We must ensure they have proper education, health care and protection. They must be accorded with the dignity of the human person. We must not scorn or ridicule or cheat them. May we not do anything in vain. Remember 1 Chronicles 28:9 "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. God is the Almighty Creator and everything He does is perfect. God is love. We must not discriminate against persons living with autism, we must show them love while ensuring they are not harmed. There is no answer outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your work of love to those who ...

You go to the bus station, so that you can visit a big town. There are three buses waiting, each with 10 seats. The first driver says that during the journey, there will be a crash, and 8 of the people may be killed. You are scared, and go to the second bus. This driver says that he will ask the passengers to use seat belts. But there may be an accident and 2 or 3 people will die. This is still very dangerous! So you go to the third driver. He says he will drive carefully, at the right speed, and you will all get to town safely. He has never had a crash. This is like HIV-AIDS and sex. If you have casual sex, you may have an  80% chance of dying (like the first bus). The second bus is the same as using condoms (so-called 'safe sex') - you may still die. The only safe way is shown by the third bus - follow the rules that God has given us for our safety and happiness: no casual sex with anyone before you are married, and only with your husband/wife after marriage. God can give us ...

  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...

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who finance research, treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. God bless your labour and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. Remember Psalms 147:3 He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. HIV/AIDS is real and sadly many still do not believe it and live carelessly. The major cause remains sexual intercourse with an infected person. We must learn to keep away from the infection and lead more responsibles lives. Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. We must not discriminate against persons living with HIV/AIDS, we must show them love while staying safe ourselves. There is no answer outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your safety, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent. Tina Tobo PSLC, BL, Ph.D.  ... the ultimate law is love.
