Month Review

This month we looked at sub-issues under the theme Solidarity! We in TLF believe in Solidarity which ensures love. Solidarity entails acknowledging everything in another’s life while extending love in living according to God’s Word.
We need to love our neighbours as ourselves and if we do not take others the way we meet them, we may find ourselves displaying superiority complex.
As a charity and social development organisation, TLF strives to ensure that all concerned- trustees, members, volunteers, beneficiaries, benefactors and all are living in the peace of God. Everyone may not have the position in life and living but we are one in Christ Jesus.
Unity is free, so also is our being children of God.
Although the Bible talks a lot about love, God tells us we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers as two cannot walk together unless they agree. So what should be our stance?
Solidarity is first among we the members of the Body of Christ, by that we can fully function as the nose, eyes, legs, hands, and other parts of  body functions for the common good, and secondly solidarity in our common cause to sustain the world as God gave charge to man at creation.
The United Nations enjoins individuals to take seriously the issue of Solidarity as it declared among other relevant dates, 1 March Zero Discrimination Day, 21 March International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, 21 May World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, 13 June International Albinism Awareness Day, 11 July World Population Day, 10 September World Suicide Prevention Day, 16 November International Day for Tolerance, 3 December International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 12 December International Day of Neutrality, 20 December International Human Solidarity Day, all of which are marked yearly to sensitise the public on the theme.
When Jesus is in our acts of Solidarity we will surely enjoy unity. When people use their solidarity to sin, scorn, perpetuate evil and brag, like the in the Tower of Babel then you’ll know that they have missed it.
As Christians we know God is our Father, for our success in solidarity, we must fear God, give Him glory and allow Jesus into our minds and our entire being solely.
Jesus Christ came to show us the example of solidarity for Jesus prayed in John 15 and 16 that we be one just as He and God the Father are and the Holy Spirit He has sent to us for our direction.
Happy New Year, join us and let’s make TLF grow more in every positive way. Join as a member or volunteer or prayer partner or benefactor or as a beneficiary. Welcome.

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...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
