(TLF) The Ultimate Law Is Love

 

  “New: Inside and Out” By Dave Branon No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. John 3:3 A few years ago a publisher made a big mistake. A book had been on the market for several years, so it was time for a makeover. The author rewrote the book to bring it up to date. But when the revision was published, there was a problem. The publisher gave the book a nice new cover but printed the old book inside. The exterior was fresh and new, but the interior was old and out of date. This “reprint” was not really new at all. Sometimes that kind of thing happens with people. They realize a change needs to be made in life. Things are heading in the wrong direction. So they may put on a new exterior without making a vital change in their heart. They may change a behaviour on the outside but may not realize that it is only God who can change us on the inside. In John 3, Nicodemus sensed that because Jesus came “from God” (v.2) He offered something very different. What Jesus told

    This month we looked at the theme #New Beginning! We in TLF believe in New Beginnings as it entails the start of everything needed to start a wholesome life. New Beginnings are like foundations where something good and worthwhile can be set up on. Our lives must be built on a proper foundation because if the foundation be faulty what can one do?  We often pursue riches of the pocket, but we can pursue riches of the mind and heart. For God has told us in His Word that we command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in Him, the living God, Who gives us richly all things to enjoy. They are to do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. As a charity and social development organisation, TLF strives to ensure t

  We sincerely wish our friend, brother and donor Christian a happy birthday and God's blessings in Jesus name, amen. Many happy returns, hip hip hip hurray! from all of us in TLF, happy birthday Sir.

  Thank God for His faithfulness. We have been able to ensure the upkeep of the TLF Centre. We often receive visitors and others who come to make enquiries. We have alternative power and water. But we cannot have enough of musical instruments, games and sports equipment, diesel and fuel, data credit, call credit, mementoes, bicycles, and many other things. Also we really should have our own permanent Centre. Join us as we encourage more people towards a life of love in Christ Jesus.  #January 

We held yet another TLF Breakfast Meeting earlier today and ended up having lunch for the children who came around the Centre. It was a busy but happy day. We had our filmshow and lessons were learnt. We thank all our donors. 16th of October is World Food Day. We commend all those individuals, Chris Omusi of Projesct Charilove, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of giving and charity. God bless your labour and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. Remember Proverbs 29:7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge. Matthew 6:31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?'  Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. There is no love outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your giving of food to the needy and hungry, give your life to Jesus Christ and be fervent. Tina Tobo PSLC, BL, PHD  ... the ultimate law is love.

  5th of December is the International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development. In this month of TLF's anniversary when we formally started in 2005, we remember all our friends in TLF. God still sits on the throne. Each of you may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.  Let's continue to pray for one another.  Let us pray:  "Father, I ask you to bless our friends, relatives and blog viewers and followers reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. Bless their faith, destinies, works, schools, homes, families, finances, their going out and their coming in, in Jesus' precious name, Amen. This is our throwback picture for this month. Wherever our friends

  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. Come we invite you to attend our weekly workshop, seminar or film show. 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, learn with th

  1st Monday - Primary/Secondary or Tertiary School Visit Here we donate school items and create awareness of our theme for the month, as well as activities at our centre, especially the availability of our library.  2nd Tuesday – Film show Here we show full length movies as well as TED talks and Documentary based on our theme for the month outside our Centre. 1st Wednesday - Outreach Here we go on the streets, market places and community centres to give out food, money, clothes, toys, our items, our tracts, our devotionals as well as our brochures with fund raising appeal letters. 2nd Thursday - Music  Host a particular church choir or music group where we would thrash out contemporary issues in music and our roles in influencing one of the largest means of influence all around the world. We would also donate something of need to the choir. 1st Friday - Sports Tournament Here we would engage the children and youths as well as the elderly in different outdoor sporting activities where

How it progressed beautifully... The Story... 19th of August is World Humanitarian Day. We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form of humanitarian service or the other. God bless your labour and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. Remember Luke 14:13 "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 "And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just." Luke 12:33 "Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. There is no love outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your giving, give your life to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

Some time ago we had the privilege of gathering clothes from various donors and freely distributing them to a settlement in the outskirts of the city. We acknowledge the good works of St Vincent de Paul, Heart for the Young Foundation, Mummy Christiana Akpofure who gather not just clothes but food, footwears and other things to share to people in severe need. Many people are still skeptical, uncomfortable and unconvinced about giving out their clothes and personal effects they do not want again; neither to familiar people or strangers. This often has connotations from religious, superstitious, cultural and others’ experiences. But TLF friends, God has created us to carry out the good works He Himself put in place to be done in this world right from its foundation. Notice that in Colossians 1:10 we are to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; and Romans 12:21 says that we are not to be overcome by

I often attend Inaugural lectures in different Universities whenever I find myself in whatever field it centres on. But what good have our great wisdom, knowledge, research and learning 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? Knowledge should be for service. Our findings should be to better the society. The ultimate Law is Love, so says the Bible and we align with 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. It could be urban, rural or remote places. But wherever we are sent let us apply our learning for the greater good. TLF is not ju

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. Deuteronomy 11:11 "but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 "a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. 13 'And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 'then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 'And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.' 16 "Take heed to yourselves, lest y

Feb 9 2010 to Jan 19 2011 Nneoma, we submit to the will of God. #BeEncouraged CULLED FROM Our Daily Bread “Never Too Late” By Peter Chin Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Mark 5:36 During the anxious moments that followed my mother-in-law’s heart attack, she was fortunate to receive immediate medical care. Later, her doctor told me that treatment within fifteen minutes of a heart attack results in a survival rate of 33 percent for critical patients. But just 5 percent survive if treated beyond that time frame. On the way to heal Jairus’s desperately ill daughter (someone definitely needing immediate medical care), Jesus did the unthinkable: He paused (Mark 5:30). He stopped to identify who touched Him, and then spoke gently with the woman. You can imagine what Jairus was thinking: There’s no time for this, my daughter is dying! And then, his worst fears came true—Jesus appeared to have delayed too long and his daughter passed away (v. 35). But

May you find serenity and tranquillity in a world you may not always understand.   May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with optimism and courage. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile, be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world. May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.   Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. May you not become too concerned w

 

“Wise Aid” By Mike Wittmer Encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 As I stopped my car at a red light, I saw the same man standing beside the road again. He held a cardboard sign: Need money for food. Anything helps. I looked away and sighed. Was I the kind of person who ignored the needy? Some people pretend to have needs but are actually con artists. Others have legitimate needs but face difficulties overcoming destructive habits. Social workers tell us it’s better to give money to the aid ministries in our city. I swallowed hard and drove past. I felt bad, but I may have acted wisely. God commands us to “warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak” (1 Thessalonians 5:14). To do this well we must know who belongs in which category. If we warn a weak or disheartened person, we may break her spirit; if we help an idle person, we may encourage laziness. Consequently, we help best from up close, when

How many are we in TLF? How do we get our fundings? Where is our permanent location? What is our niche? What do we urgently need?

 

13 SWEET ADVICE  [1]  The quality of life is in the mind, not in material.  [2]  The world is filled with beauty when your heart is filled with love.  [3]  We grow because we struggle, we learn, and we overcome.  [4]  Goodness is the only investment that never fails.  [5]  You can plant a dream.  [6]  Live every day of your life as though you expect to live forever  [7]  Don't believe in miracle - depend on them.  [8]  Kind words do not cost much, yet they accomplish much.  [9]  Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, and live today.  [10] Be not simply good, but good for something.  [11] Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.  [12] To desire is to obtain, to aspire is to achieve.  [13] To have character is to be big enough to take life on.

10th of November is the World Science Day for Peace and Development. We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who promote the use of science for peace and development. God bless your iniatives and work of love. May we not do anything in vain. Remember 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge. Remember the ultimate law is love. God is love. There is no science, knowledge, wisdom or love outside of God. Your life in God is most important. In all your findings, ensure that your life is found in Jesus Christ and be fervent.
