A STORY:

She was in prison for many years for a crime that she had done. In the prison were people who had done all sorts of crimes. Each day she looked forward to the time that she would be free from prison and she could go home. But every day was just another day of hard work with little or nothing to eat. In fact, she suffered much in that prison. One day the President of her country came to visit the prison. He decided to free the prisoners, but they did not know this was why he had come to see them. Each prisoner was brought to the President who asked them what crime they had done. To the great surprise of the President, everybody except her said they had done nothing wrong. When he asked her why she was in prison, she said it was because she had done something very wrong and she was guilty of the crime. The President said to her, "I am giving you a pardon. Since you are guilty and every other person says they are innocent, you don't have to be with them any longer. You may go back to your people and your home. All the other people in the prison will stay here because they have 'nothing to be pardoned for'."This is how freedom came for her. She went home very happy, but she often went back to visit the other prisoners. They were still disappointed and crying because they did not receive a pardon. We too are in a sort of prison. Our prison is the bondage of fear, wrong doing, or the power of bad spirits. But there is someone who, like the President, can free us from our prison. It is Jesus Christ who forgives all who say sorry to him for their wrong doing. He also sets us free from the power of fear and bad spirits. Just as she told the President she had done wrong, so we have to admit to Jesus we have done wrong. Only then can He forgive us and set us free.

TO THINK ABOUT

What sort of prison are you in?

Wouldn't you like Jesus Christ to set you free from this prison?

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...

Theme

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 ...
