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.

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, p...
